The person observing the violation should be prepared to set forth all relevant facts
14.2. The Board will then issue a written notice of violation letter Notice to the Owner demanding the violation(s) be corrected or cease no later than ten (10) days from the date of the Notice. If the Owner disputes said Notice, the Owner may be heard by the Board by requesting a special meeting of the Board in writing. A meeting will be held with the party requesting a meeting as soon as practicable with the Board or Hearing Board appointed by the Board. If the Owner does not request a special meeting in writing or otherwise object in writing, the violation must be corrected or fines will be immediately assessed. No hearing shall be available after the fines have been assessed by the Board. In enforcing these rules, the Board may delegate its function(s), including the determination of whether a violation has occurred, and the remedy therefore, to an agent, including but not limited to a single, or group of, director(s) or officers, or the property manager.
14.3. Fines are to be assessed for any violation of the Rules as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board (subject to notice and opportunity to be heard). Fines may also be imposed for any violation of the Governing Documents (including but not limited to the Rules and Declaration) in the Board�s sole and exclusive discretion. The following is current fine schedule:
$75.00 per violation, per occurrence, per day
First Violation (i.e. if two dogs of one Owner each leave two piles of dog droppings on
a common element in violation of the Rules, that Owner shall be fined
$400.00 per day the droppings are not removed.)
Second Violation $100.00 per violation, per occurrence, per day
Third Violation $150.00 per violation, per occurrence, per day
Further Violations At the Board�s discretion, but not less than $300.00 per
violation, per occurrence, per day.
14.4. A violation includes not obtaining written Board approval prior to taking action under the Declaration or these Rules, when prior Board approval is required. The above fines shall be imposed on a daily basis for failing to comply with a Board decision or failing to obtain Board prior written consent until the issue is corrected at the Owners� sole cost and expense to the Board�s sole and exclusive discretion.
14.5. If there is a speeding violation, or other rules violation which by its nature, occurs only at one time, and said violation is repeated, the First Violation is $75.00, the Second Violation is $100.00, the Third Violation is $150.00 and thereafter the fine shall be doubled for every subsequent violation.
14.6. All fines imposed will be assessed within a reasonable period and will be placed on the Owner�s Assessments as a special assessment within 30 days, or at the time of the next assessment (whichever is earlier).
14.7. Fines are due after notice and opportunity to be heard.
14.8. Within ten (10) days of service on or delivery to the Owner/respondent of the notice of violation letter and/or a disapproval of plans, the person receiving the same (�respondent�) may deliver a request for an appeal to the Board, as the respondent�s opportunity to be heard. In such case, imposition of the fine will be held in abeyance pending determination of the appeal by way of a hearing before the Board. Service or delivery of the letter shall occur by leaving same with the respondent personally, by leaving same with a person of suitable age and discretion at the respondent�s residence, or shall be deemed to occur three (3) days after deposit of the letter in the first class mail addressed to respondent at his or her last address known to the Association, or the Unit address. The request for appeal will not be deemed to have been delivered until actual receipt by the Association�s Secretary or the Association�s managing agent. A failure of the respondent to respond to the letter within ten (10) days will constitute a waiver of the respondent�s right to notice and opportunity to be heard, and respondent will be deemed to have admitted to the facts contained in the letter, and the fines shall be imposed.
14.9. Failure of the respondent to appear at the scheduled hearing, where the respondent has failed to show good cause why the hearing should be re-scheduled, does not preclude the Board from proceeding with the hearing, receiving evidence from and hearing arguments and making a decision in the matter. Upon failure of the respondent to appear, the Board may, in its discretion, impose the fine or fines. A failure of the respondent to appear constitutes a waiver of the respondent�s right to notice and opportunity to be heard, and respondent will be deemed to have admitted to the facts contained in the letter.
