Townhome Homeowners Association

Rules and Regulations

Introductions

Townhome living is different from living in a traditional single-family home. A townhome offers many advantages including the performance by others of routine tasks such as landscaping, snowplowing and regular maintenance of the exteriors of our buildings. Each of us shares in the use of the common area at a lower cost when compared to individual ownership. We also enjoy a great sense of community and a collective security.

The amenities of townhome ownership and community are not without cost. Each of us shares responsibility for maintaining our community. To carry out this responsibility it is necessary for you to elect a Board of Directors and to volunteer to chair or become an active member of our operating committees. These committees report to the Board, which is the Association's governing body. It is also the Board’s responsibility to enforce and revise when necessary the Rules and Regulations published within.

These Rules and Regulations are an extension of your Association's Declaration and Bylaws. Legally, you agreed to comply with all provisions of these documents when you purchased your unit. The requirement for compliance flows through to members of your family, guests and lessees (if any). As an owner, you share in the liability that goes hand-in-hand with compliance.

Each of us is expected to share and enjoy the benefits of our community with our neighbors in peace and tranquility. The largest of these, and the most visible, are the common areas over which we have collective (not individual) responsibility and control.

You are encouraged to VOLUNTEER and join one or more of our committees as we work to make Stableford Townes the best possible environment in which to enjoy gracious and carefree living. The cooperation and understanding of all owners will provide for the continued safety, continuity and appreciation of the development.

GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

White Eagle Club POA is the overall “Master” community in which Stableford Townes is an exclusive “Submaster" community. It has its own set of Declaration and Bylaws as contained in the White Eagle Club Document of Record. Each of us is required to abide by both the White Eagle Club and the Stableford Townes Rules and Regulations. Where the Rules and Regulations of our Association parallel or duplicate one of the forgoing, the Declaration of White Eagle Club or the most stringent will take precedence.
