Collin Square Residential Develop-
ment and Attachment of Documents

Mayor Pierson advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission,
at their meeting of January 27, 1983, recommended approval of the
preliminary landscape plan, declarations of covenants, restrictions
and conditions, and the homeowners' agreement as satisfying the
requirement of Planned Development No. 7, Section 2(a), for
Phase I of Collin Square.
Marilyn Putnam, with Fox & Jacobs, spoke before the Council
on the preparation of the homeowners' agreement, the declaration
of covenants, restrictions and conditions, and the preliminary
landscape plan; and the work with the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission on these documents and review of them by the City Attorney.
There was considerable discussion between the City Council
and Mrs. Putnam on Article IV "Rights of the City", in the home-
owners' agreement regarding whether the city would ever want to
maintain the common areas of this development, with the City
Council stressing that the city would not want to take on that
responsibility.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilman McClure and seconded
by Mayor Pro Tem Farmer, the Council voted 7 - 0 to
approve the preliminary landscape plan, the homeowners'
agreement, and the declarations of covenants, restrictions
and conditions to be made a part of Planned Development
No. 7, Section 2(a), for Phase I of Collin Square, in
accordance with the recommendations of the Planning and
Zoning Commission, as stated. The motion carried.
Approval of Final Plats for
Phase I, II, III for Collin
Square Residential Development (Agenda Item VI -B)
Tom Cravens, with Fox & Jacbos, presented to and spoke before
the Council on the three (3) final plats for Phases I, II, and,III
of the Collin Square residential development.
Mr. Cravens explained that Phase I contains the cluster homes,
Phase II contains the single family and duplex development and
Phase III contains the courtyard additions.
Mr. Cravens also reviewed the streets running through the
development, the cul-de-sac streets, fire lanes, and open space.
He advised that the sewer system was being upgraded and a new
lift station would be provided, as well as clearing of the
creek area, trying to maintain the tree line on the west side of
this development, and the timeframe for construction.
The Council discussed with Mr. Cravens the dedicated streets
in the cluster home development, the fact that the private drives
would be owned by the homeowners' association and would be maintained
by that association, as well as the sewer lines and water lines.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended to the City
Council that these three (3) final plats be approved as submitted
at their meeting held on January 27, 1983.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilman Rodenbaugh and seconded
by Mayor Pro Tem Farmer, the Council voted 7 - 0 to
approve the three (3) Finals Plats for Phases I, II, and
III of the Collin Square residential development as sub-
mitted and in accordance with the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission as stated. The motion
carried.

entitled to one (1) vote. When more than one person holds an interest in any Unit, all such

years after conveyance of the first Affected Lot by Declarant, whichever occurs earlier.
Section 3. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligations of Assessments.
Subject to the terms of this Article V, the Declarant for each Unit owned within the
Properties hereby covenants, and each Owner of any Unit by acceptance of a deed
therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and
agrees to pay to the Association: (1) annual assessments or charges, and (2) special
assessments for capital improvements, such assessments to be established and collected as
hereinafter provided. The annual and special assessments, together with interest, costs,
and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien
upon the property against which each such assessment is made. Each such assessment,
together with interest, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall also be the personal
obligation of the person who was the Owner of such property at the time when the
assessment fell due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments shall not pass to
his successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.
Section 4. Annual Assessment or Charge. Subject to the terms of this
Article, each Affected Lot in the Subdivision is hereby subjected to an annual mainten-
ance charge and assessment not to exceed $ 40.00 per month or $480.00 per annum (unless
such maximum shall be increased as provided in the Bylaws of the Association), for the
purpose of creating a fund to be designated and known as the "maintenance fund," which
maintenance charge and assessment will be paid by the Owner or Owners of each Unit
within said Subdivision (and any area annexed under the jurisdiction of the Association) in
advance in monthly, quarterly or annual installments, commencing as to all Affected Lots
on the first day of the month following the conveyance of the first Affected Lot by
Declarant to an Owner. The rate at which each Affected Lots will be assessed, and
whether such assessment shall be payable monthly, quarterly or annually, will be
determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Association at least thirty (30) days
in advance of each annual assessment. Said rate and when same is payable may be
adjusted from year to year by said Board of Directors as the needs of the Subdivision may
in the judgment of the Directors require. The assessment for each Affected Lots shall be
uniform except that as long as there is a Class B membership, the Board of Directors may
charge and collect a fraction (not less than 50%) of the annual assessment on each Lot
owned by Declarant until the conveyance of said Lot by Declarant to an Owner, or the
Board of Directors may elect to accept in lieu of such fractional charge Declarant's
agreement to contribute to the Association such amounts as may be necessary to fund the
excess of the Association's operating costs over the total of regular assessments collected
for a given period of operation. The due dates shall be established by the Board of
Directors. The Association shall upon written demand and for a reasonable charge furnish
a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessments
on a specified Affected Lot have been paid. The Association shall use the proceeds of
said maintenance fund in providing for norir.al, recurring maintenance charges for the

in good order, or which is considered of general benefit to the Owners or occupants of the

said funds and the determination of what constitutes normal, recurring maintenance shall
be final and conclusive so long as such judgment is exercised in good faith. The
Association shall, in addition, establish and maintain an adequate reserve fund for the
periodic maintenance, repair and replacement of improvements to the Common Area.
The fund shall be established and maintained out of regular annual assessments.
Section 5. Special Assessments for Working Capital Fund, Nonrecurring
Maintenance and Capital Improvements. In addition to the annual assessments authorized
above, the Association may levy:
(a) a special assessment equal to two (2) months' estimated regular
assessment per Affected Lot shall be due and payable by the Owner upon the closing of
the purchase of each Unit, provided that the Declarant shall contribute to the Association

portion of such special assessment allocable to each Affected Lot shall be charged to each
Owner at each Owner's closing and Declarant's contribution to the special assessment fund
shall be reimbursed from the funds collected from Owners. The aggregate fund
established by such special assessment shall be maintained in a segregated account, and

advance of the meeting. At the first such meeting called, the presence of members or of
proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the votes of each class of membership
shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be
called immediately following the adjournment of the first meeting (without necessity) and
the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required
quorum at the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than
sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting.
Section 7. Effect of Non-payment of Assessments: Remedies of the
Association. Any assessment not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date shall bear
interest from the due date at the rate of eighteen percent (18°A) per annum, or at such
other rate as may be established from time to time by the Association, but in no event to
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. The Association may bring an
action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same, or foreclose the
lien against the property. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the
assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Area or abandonment of his
property.

Section 8. Subordinated Lien to Secure Pa.Vment. '1✓o secure e payment of
the maintenance charge and assessment established hereby and to be levied on individual
Affected Lots as above provided, there shall be reserved in each deed by which the Owner
(the present and any subsequent owners) shall convey such property, or any part thereof, a
Vendor's Lien for the benefit of the Association, said lien to be enforceable through
appropriate proceedings at law by such beneficiary; provided, however, that each such lien
shall be specifically made secondary, subordinate and inferior to all liens, present and
future, given, granted, and created by or at the instance and request of the Owner of any
such Affected Lot to secure the payment of monies advanced or to be advanced on
account of the purchase price and/or the improvement of any such Affected Lot; and
further provided that as a condition precedent to any proceeding to enforce such lien upon
any Affected Lot upon which there is an outstanding valid and subsisting first mortgage
lien, said beneficiary shall give the holder of such first mortgage lien sixty (60) days'
written notice of such proposed action, such notice, which shall be sent to the nearest
office of such first mortgage lienholder by prepaid U. S. Registered Mail, to contain the
statement of the delinquent maintenance charges upon which the proposed action is based.
Upon the request of any such first mortgage lienholder, said beneficiary shall acknowledge
in writing its obligation to give the foregoing notice with respect to the particular
property covered by such first mortgage lien to the holder thereof. Sale or transfer of an
Affected Lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any
Affected Lot pursuant to mortgage foreclosure or any proceeding in lieu thereof shall
extinguish the lien of such assessment as to payments which became due prior to such sale
or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Affected Lot from liability for any
assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.
Section 9. Duration. The above maintenance charge and assessment will
remain effective for the full term (and extended term, if applicable) of the within
covenants.
