V. NEW BUSINESS
A. Site Plan Review Application No. 23-008-TRC, to redevelop a vacant 2,425 square-
foot building formerly used as a convenience store and gas station to a Medical
Marijuana Dispensary, on 1.06± acres, located at 510 Northeast (NE) Park Street.
1. City Planning Consultant Mr. Ben Smith of Morris-Depew Associates, Inc.
briefly reviewed the Planning Staff Report recommending the following
conditions/outstanding code deficiencies: provision of complete landscape
buffers, reduction in the width of the southern access to SE 6th Avenue,
provision of landscaping between the building and parking area, the elevated
concrete island located within the drive aisle connecting the Northern and
Southern areas of the site should either be removed, or a more substantial
blocking of that access should be proposed, provision of improved access to
dumpster, demonstration that all two-way drive aisles are at least 24 feet wide
and provision of a sidewalk along the entire SE 6th Avenue frontage.
2. Building Official Newell inquired about the plans for blocking the path between
the Wendy's Restaurant to the West and the site. OCFR Deputy Fire Marshal
Sasser commented the circulation for fire access is good and requested a
knoxbox for access to the building. Police Chief Hagan inquired as to whether
there were any open Code Enforcement cases, and Administrator Ritter
responded there were none. In addition, he requested for improvements to be
made to the South end of the property and retention pond area, which is not
being maintained. He is not in support of a gravel parking area. Public Works
Director Allen requested the new sidewalk along SE 6th Avenue be extended
like was done on the East side with the Burger King Restaurant build, and ADA
curbing to meet Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) specifications.
OUA Executive Director Hayford pointed out that there is a 2-inch water main
running along the South side of the property and that there possibly could be
utility lines as well. Administrator Ritter also suggested improvements being
made to the South side and proposed using sod, shell, concrete or paving. He
mentioned if should they be proposing to tie in the irrigation with the
landscaping, they want to consider irrigation for the South end if proposing sod.

V. NE'.W BUSINESS ITEM A CONTINUED

City require paving, since no increase in impervious surface calculations were

Balaity with Balaity Property Enhancement, on behalf of the Applicant, Mr.
Nicholas Jones, were present electronically via Zoom. The seven comments

formatting error on page 2 of the Plat regarding the Abbreviations and Legend
table, Lots need to be numbered instead of lettered.

liability insurance naming the ASSOCIATION and, for so long as DEVELOPER owns any Unit,
DEVELOPER as named insureds thereof and including the OWNERS as insureds thereunder
insuring against any and all claims or demands made by any person or persons whomsoever for
injuries received in connection with, or arising from,the operation, maintenance and use of the
Common Area and any improvements and Buildings located thereon and/or the Common
Structural Elements and for any other risks insured against by such policies with limits of not

and property damage liability that results from the operation, maintenance or use of the Common
Area and/or the Common Structural Elements; water damage liability; liability for non-owned
and hired automobiles; liability for property of others and such other risks as are customarily

Elements. The insurance purchased shall contain a Severability of Interest endorsement, or
equivalent coverage, which would preclude the insurer from denying the claim of an OWNER

because of the negligent acts of either the ASSOCIATION, DEVELOPER or any other
OWNERS or deny the claim of either DEVELOPER or ASSOCIATION because of negligent
acts of the other or the negligent acts of an OWNER. All liability insurance shall contain cross
liability endorsements to cover liabilities of the OWNERS as a group to an OWNER. Each
OWNER shall be responsible for the purchasing of liability insurance for accidents occurring in
his own Unit and, if the OWNER so determines, for supplementing any insurance purchased by

cost of public liability insurance is economically unwarranted, the Board may determine to either
reduce the amount of such insurance, increase the deductible amount or discontinue coverage.
10.2 Hazard Insurance. Each OWNER shall be responsible for the purchase of
casualty insurance for all of his personal property. The ASSOCIATION shall obtain casualty
insurance with such coverage and in such amounts as it may determine from time to time for the

which insurance shall insure all of the insurable improvements, including personal property
owned by the ASSOCIATION, in and for the interest of the ASSOCIATION, all OWNERS and
their mortgagees, as their interests may appear,with a company(or companies) acceptable to the
standards set by the BOARD. The ASSOCIATION shall purchase insurance for each Building
now located or which may hereafter be located or built in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the "Replacement Value"thereof. The term"Replacement Value" shall mean
one hundred percent(100%) of the current replacement costs exclusive of land, foundation,
excavation, items of personal property and other items normally excluded from coverage as
determined annually by the BOARD. The BOARD may determine the kind of coverage and
proper and adequate amount of insurance. The casualty insurance shall contain an"agreed
amount endorsement"or its equivalent, "inflation guard endorsement,"and, if determined
necessary, an" increased cost of construction endorsement'or"continuant liability from
operation of building laws endorsement" or a"demolition endorsement" or the equivalent. The
Casualty Insurance shall insure the Buildings from loss or damage caused by or resulting from at
least the following: fire and other hazards covered by the standard extended coverage

insurance shall be the lesser of the maximum amount of flood insurance available under such
program, or one hundred percent(100%) of the current replacement cost of all Buildings and
other insurable property located in the flood hazard area.

other expenses in connection with said insurance shall be paid by the ASSOCIATION and
assessed as part of the Quarterly Assessment. The company(or companies) with which the
ASSOCIATION shall place its insurance coverage, as provided in this DECLARATION, must
be a good and responsible company(or companies)authorized to do business in the State of
Florida. In addition, the insurance agent must be located in the State of Florida. The
ASSOCIATION shall have the right to designate a trustee("Insurance Trustee")and upon the
request of the Institutional Mortgagee holding the highest dollar indebtedness encumbering Units
("Lead Mortgagee") shall designate an Insurance Trustee. Thereafter the ASSOCIATION from
time to time shall have the right to change the Insurance Trustee to such other trust company
authorized to conduct business in the State of Florida or to such other person, firm or corporation
as Insurance Trustee as shall be acceptable to the BOARD and the Lead Mortgagee. The Lead
Mortgagee shall have the right, for so long as it holds the highest dollar indebtedness
encumbering Units within BRIDGEWATER ON TAYLOR CREEK to approve: (i) the form of
the insurance policies; (ii)the amounts thereof; (iii)the company or companies which shall be
the insurers under such policies; (iv)the insurance agent or agents; and(v) the designation of the
Insurance Trustee if it deems the use of an Insurance Trustee other than the Board to be
necessary, which approval(s) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,however,
for so long as DEVELOPER owns any Unit(s),DEVELOPER shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to require the ASSOCIATION to designate an Insurance Trustee other than the
BOARD. Notwithstanding anything to this DECLARATION to the contrary,the Board may act
as the Insurance Trustee hereunder unless otherwise required by the Lead Mortgagee or
DEVELOPER. The Lead Mortgagee shall inform the ASSOCIATION by written notification if
it requires the use of an Insurance Trustee other than the BOARD. If the use of an Insurance
Trustee other than the BOARD is requested in writing, then the Lead Mortgagee shall be deemed
to have approved the Insurance Trustee unless the Lead Mortgagee's written disapproval is
received by the ASSOCIATION within thirty(30)days after notice from the ASSOCIATION of
the identity of the proposed Insurance Trustee. If no Insurance Trustee is required,the Board
shall receive, hold and expend insurance proceeds in the manner hereinafter provided as if it
were the Insurance Trustee.
10.5 Required Policy Provisions. All such aforesaid policies shall provide that they
may not be cancelled without at least ten(10)days' prior written notice to the ASSOCIATION
and "Listed Mortgagees" (as hereinafter defined) and shall be deposited with the Insurance
Trustee upon its written acknowledgment that the policies and any proceeds thereof will be held
in accordance with the terms hereof. Said policies shall provide that all insurance proceeds
payable on account of loss or damage shall be payable to the Insurance Trustee. In the event of a
casualty loss, the Insurance Trustee may deduct from the insurance proceeds collected a
reasonable fee for its service as Insurance Trustee. The ASSOCIATION is hereby irrevocably
appointed agent for each OWNER to adjust all claims arising under insurance policies purchased
by the ASSOCIATION. The Insurance Trustee shall not be liable for payment of premiums, for
the renewal or the sufficiency of the policies nor for the failure to collect any insurance proceeds.
The ASSOCIATION may determine to act as Insurance Trustee, in which event references
herein to Insurance Trustee shall refer to the Board.
10.6 Restrictions of Mortgagees. No mortgagee shall have any right to participate in
the determination of whether property is to be rebuilt, nor shall any mortgagee have the right to

apply insurance proceeds to repayment of its loan unless such proceeds are distributed to
OWNERS and/or their respective mortgagees.
10.7 Distribution of Insurance Proceeds and Losses. The duty of the Insurance
Trustee shall be to receive any and all proceeds from the insurance policies held by it and to hold
such proceeds in trust for the ASSOCIATION, OWNERS and mortgagees under the following
terms:
10.7.1 In the event a loss, insured under the policies held by the Insurance
Trustee, occurs to any improvements within any of the Units alone,without any loss to any other
improvements,the Insurance Trustee shall immediately pay all proceeds received because of
such loss directly to the OWNERS of the Units damaged and their mortgagees, if any, as their
interests may appear, and it shall be the duty of these OWNERS to use such proceeds to effect
necessary repair to the Units. The Insurance Trustee, where other than the ASSOCIATION, may
rely upon the written statement of the ASSOCIATION as to whether or not there has been a loss
to the Units alone,the Common Structural Elements or any combination thereof.
10.7.2 In the event that a loss of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)or less occurs
to improvements within one (1) or more Units and to improvements within Common Structural
Elements contiguous thereto, or to improvements within the Common Structural Elements, the
Insurance Trustee shall pay the proceeds received as a result of such loss to the ASSOCIATION.
Upon receipt of such proceeds, the ASSOCIATION will cause the necessary repairs to be made
to the improvements within the Common Structural Elements and within the damaged Units. In
such event, should the insurance proceeds be sufficient to repair the improvements within the
Common Structural Elements,but insufficient to repair all of the damage within the Units, the
proceeds shall be applied first to completely repair the improvements within the Common
Structural Elements and the balance of the funds("Balance") shall be apportioned by the
ASSOCIATION to repair the damage to the improvements within Units,which apportionment
shall be made to each Unit in accordance with the proportion of damage sustained to
improvements within said Units as estimated by the insurance company whose policy covers
such damage. Any deficiency between the Balance apportioned to a damaged Unit and the cost
of repair shall be paid as a special assessment to the ASSOCIATION by the OWNER of such
damaged Unit.
10.7.3 In the event the Insurance Trustee receives proceeds in excess of the sum
of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)as a result of damages to the improvements within the
Common Structural Elements and/or Units and Common Structural Elements that are
contiguous, then the Insurance Trustee shall hold, in trust, all insurance proceeds received with
respect to such damage, together with any and all other funds paid as hereinafter provided, and
shall distribute the same as follows:
10.7.3.1 The BOARD shall obtain or cause to be obtained reliable
and detailed estimates and/or bids for the cost of rebuilding and
reconstructing the damage and for the purpose of determining whether
insurance proceeds are sufficient to pay for the same.
Declaration of Protective Covenants,Conditions and Restrictions for

Book622/Page1952 CFN#2007001960 Page 34 of 75
• •
10.7.3.2 In the event the insurance proceeds are sufficient to rebuild
and reconstruct all the damaged improvements, or upon the collection of
the necessary funds that are described in subparagraph 10.7.3.3 below,
then the damaged improvements shall be completely repaired and
restored. In this event, all payees shall deliver paid bills and waivers of
mechanics' liens to the Insurance Trustee and execute affidavits required
by law, by the ASSOCIATION, by any Institutional Trustee and shall
deliver the same to the Insurance Trustee. Further,the ASSOCIATION
shall negotiate and obtain a contractor willing to do the work on a fixed
price basis or some other reasonable terms under the circumstances, which
said contractor shall post a performance and payment bond,and the
Insurance Trustee shall disburse the insurance proceeds and other funds
held in trust in accordance with the progress payments contained in the
construction contract between the ASSOCIATION and the contractor.
Subject to the foregoing, the BOARD shall have the right and obligation
to negotiate and contract for the repair and restoration of the premises.
10.7.3.3 In the event the insurance proceeds are insufficient to
repair and replace all of the damaged improvements within the Common
Structural Elements and Units contiguous to such damaged Common
Structural Elements,the Board shall hold a special meeting to determine a
special assessment against all of the OWNERS to obtain any necessary
funds to repair and to restore such damaged improvements. Upon the
determination by the BOARD of the amount of such special assessment,
the BOARD shall immediately levy such special assessment against the
respective Units setting forth the date or dates of payment of the same, and
any and all funds received from the OWNERS pursuant to such special
assessment shall be delivered to the Insurance Trustee and disbursed as
provided in subparagraph 10.7.3.2 immediately preceding. In the event
the deficiency between the estimated cost of the repair and replacement of
the damaged property and the insurance proceeds exceeds the sum of
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars($25,000), and three-fourths(3/4) of the
OWNERS advise the Board in writing on or before the date for the first
payment thereof that they are opposed to a special assessment, then the
Insurance Trustee shall divide the net insurance proceeds equally among
the OWNERS and shall promptly pay each share of such proceeds to the
OWNERS and mortgagees of record as their interests may appear
("Insurance Proceeds Distribution"). In making any such Insurance
Proceeds Distribution to the OWNERS and mortgagees,the Insurance
Trustee may rely upon a certificate of an abstract company as to the names
of the then OWNERS and their respective mortgagees. Any Insurance
Proceeds Distribution shall also require the approval of the Lead
Mortgagee.
10.7.4 In the event that after the completion of and payment for the repair and
reconstruction of the damage to the damaged property and after the payment of the Insurance
Declaration of Protective Covenants,Conditions and Restrictions for

• •
Trustee's fee with respect thereto any excess insurance proceeds remain in the hands of the
Insurance Trustee,then such excess shall be disbursed in the manner of the Insurance Proceeds
Distribution. However, in the event such repairs and replacements were paid for by any special
assessment as well as insurance proceeds,then it shall be presumed that the monies disbursed in
payment of any repair, replacement and reconstruction were first disbursed from insurance
proceeds and any remaining funds held by the Insurance Trustee shall be distributed to the
OWNERS in proportion to their contributions by way of special assessment.
10.7.5 In the event the Insurance Trustee has on hand, within ninety(90) days
after any casualty or loss, insurance proceeds and, if necessary, funds from any special
assessment sufficient to pay fully any required restoration and repair with respect to such
casualty or loss, then no mortgagee shall have the right to require the application of any
insurance proceeds or special assessment to the payment of its loan. Any provision contained
herein for the benefit of any mortgagee may be enforced by a mortgagee.
10.7.6 Any repair, rebuilding or reconstruction of damaged property shall be
substantially in accordance with the architectural plans and specifications for BRIDGEWATER
ON TAYLOR CREEK, as: (i)originally constructed; (ii)reconstructed; or(iii)new plans and
substantial change in new plans and specifications approved by the Board from the plans and
specifications of BRIDGEWATER ON TAYLOR CREEK as previously constructed shall
require approval by the Lead Mortgagee.
10.7.7 The BOARD shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion,whether
damage or loss has occurred to improvements with Units alone, Common Structural Elements
alone or to improvements within any combination thereof.
10.7.8 Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary,the amounts set
forth for the purchase of insurance in this Section are the minimum amounts to be purchased.
Therefore, OWNERS or the ASSOCIATION, as the case may be, may purchase insurance in
excess of the amounts set forth herein. The amounts set forth do not constitute a representation
of warranty of any kind by DEVELOPER or the ASSOCIATION as to the proper amount or
kinds of insurance required.
10.7.9 Policies insuring the property purchased pursuant to the requirements of
this Section shall provide that any insurance trust agreement shall be recognized; the right of
subrogation against OWNERS will be waived; the insurance will not be prejudiced by any acts
or omission of individual OWNERS who are not under the control of the ASSOCIATION; and
the policy will be primary, even if an OWNER has other insurance that covers the same loss.
10.7.10 Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the ASSOCIATION from
obtaining a"Master" or"Blanket"form of insurance to meet the requirements of this Section,

12 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
12.1 Common Area and Other Disputes With the DEVELOPER. In the event that
there are any warranty, negligence or other claims against the DEVELOPER or any party having
a right of contribution from, or being jointly and severally liable with,the DEVELOPER(the
"Claims") relating to the design,construction, furnishing or equipping of the Common Area, or
other Properties, same shall be adjudicated pursuant to binding arbitration,rather than civil
litigation, as permitted by the Florida Arbitration Code(the "Code"), Chapter 682, Florida
Statutes, in the following manner:
12.1.1 The party making the Claims, which shall include the ASSOCIATION as
well as any OWNER, (the "Claimant") shall notify the DEVELOPER in writing of the Claims,
specifying with particularity the nature of each component thereof and providing a true and
complete copy of each and every report, study, surveyor other document supporting or forming
the basis of the Claims. Such notice shall be provided to the DEVELOPER within one hundred
and twenty(120) days after the date for the DEVELOPER to relinquish control of the BOARD
as provided for in the By-laws. The failure of the ASSOCIATION or any OWNER to provide
the DEVELOPER written notice within such time period shall act as a bar to the
ASSOCIATION or OWNER filing any Claims against the DEVELOPER. Such bar shall not
serve to permit the ASSOCIATION or any OWNER to then file any Claim in court.
12.1.2 Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of the Claims,the
DEVELOPER will engage, at its own expense,a duly licensed engineer or architect, as
appropriate (the"Arbitrator")to serve as the arbitrator of the Claims pursuant to the Code. Such
engineer or architect shall be independent of the DEVELOPER and the Claimant, not having any
then-current business relationship with the DEVELOPER or Claimant,other than by virtue of
being the Arbitrator. Upon selecting the Arbitrator, the DEVELOPER shall notify the Claimant
of the name and address of the Arbitrator.
12.1.3 Within thirty(30) days after the DEVELOPER notifies the Claimant of
the name and address of the Arbitrator, the Claimant and the DEVELOPER shall be permitted to

Bridgewater on Taylor Creek

Book622/Page1957 CFN#2007001960 Page 39 of 75
• •
provide the Arbitrator with any pertinent materials to assist the Arbitrator in rendering his
findings.
12.1.4 Within sixty(60)days from the date of his appointment,the Arbitrator
shall review the Claims and supporting materials, inspect the Common Area or other Properties
in question, and all appropriate plans, specifications and other documents relating thereto, and
render a report(the "Final Report") to the DEVELOPER and the Claimant setting forth, on an
item by item basis, his findings with respect to the Claims and the method of correction of those
he finds to be valid. If the DEVELOPER so requests, by written notice to the Arbitrator, the
Arbitrator will specify the estimated cost of the correction of each of those Claims he finds to be
valid and shall offset therefrom costs reasonably attributable to any ASSOCIATION failure to
maintain or mitigate or to any contributory negligence, in all cases whether chargeable to the
Claimant or others. At the request of the Claimant or DEVELOPER that a conference be held to
discuss the Claims, such a conference shall be held, and the Arbitrator shall establish procedures,
guidelines and ground rules for the holding of the conference. The Claimant and the
DEVELOPER shall be entitled to representation by its attorney and any other expert at the
conference. In the event such a conference is held,the sixty(60)day time period referenced in
this subsection shall be extended as the Arbitrator deems warranted. At the conference, the
Arbitrator shall notify the DEVELOPER and Claimant as to when the Final Report shall be
issued.
12.1.5 The DEVELOPER shall have one hundred eighty(180)days after receipt
of the Final Report in which to (i) correct the Claims found to be valid or(ii)pay to the Claimant
the amount estimated by the Arbitrator to be the cost to correct same after the offset referred to
in subsection 13.1.4 above.
12.1.6 As to those matters the DEVELOPER elects to correct, upon the
completion of all corrective work the DEVELOPER will so notify the Arbitrator(with a copy of
such notice to the Claimant)and the Arbitrator shall then inspect the corrected items and render
a report (the "Remedial Report")to the DEVELOPER and the Claimant on whether those items
have been corrected.
Such procedure shall be repeated as often as necessary until all items have been corrected.
12.1.7 For all purposes, the Final Report and Remedial Report of the Arbitrator
will constitute binding and enforceable arbitration awards as defined in Section 682.09 of the
Code and any party affected by such reports will have the right to seek the enforcement of same
in a court of competent jurisdiction. Moreover, no party will have the right to seek separate
judicial relief with respect to disputes as defined above, or to seek to vacate the aforementioned
arbitration awards, except in accordance with the Code, and then only upon the specific grounds
and in the specified manner for the vacation of such awards as established by Section 682.13 of
the Code.
12.1.8 The Arbitrator shall not be liable to the ASSOCIATION,the Claimant or
the DEVELOPER by virtue of the performance of his services hereunder, fraud and corruption
excepted.

payment of assessments, deficit funding obligations, if any, the handling of reserves, if any, and
the keeping of accounting records), except that the Arbitrator shall be a Certified Public
Accountant who (i) is a member of Community Associations Institute and(ii) meets the
independence test set forth above.

validity of any of the Claims(e.g., as to standing,privity of contract, statute of limitations or
laches, failure to maintain or mitigate, existence of duty, foreseeability, comparative negligence,
the effect of disclaimers or the interpretation of this DECLARATION as it applies to the
Claims), such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration,as herein provided, by an attorney in
good standing with The Florida Bar chosen by the DEVELOPER,,which arbitrator shall be
independent of the DEVELOPER and the Claimant as set forth above. In such event, all time
deadlines which cannot be met without the resolution of such disputed matters shall be
suspended for such time as the arbitration provided for in this subsection continues until final
resolution.
12.1.11 No provision in this Section shall confer standing which is not
otherwise available to a party under law.

ASSOCIATION shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party,to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,

attorneys' fees and appellate attorneys' fees),judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement

have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misfeasance or malfeasance in the
performance of his duty to the ASSOCIATION unless and only to the extent that the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine, upon application, that despite the

reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not,in and of itself,create a presumption that
the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to,the best interest of the ASSOCIATION; and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding that he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Article.

other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the laws of the State of
Florida, any Bylaw, agreement, vote of MEMBERS or otherwise. As to action taken in an
official capacity while holding office, the indemnification provided by this Article shall continue

of the votes present at the meeting in person or by proxy,regardless of a quorum, or if no
MEMBER entitled to vote is present at a meeting,then any Officer of the ASSOCIATION may

not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting, if the time and place to which the
meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and any
business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the
original meeting. If the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the

Association, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the
MEMBERS may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice,and without a vote if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the MEMBERS having
not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such
action at a meeting at which all MEMBERS entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Within ten (10) days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice shall be given
to those MEMBERS who have not consented in writing. The notice shall fairly summarize the
material features of the authorized action. If the Lot(s) for which membership is established in
the ASSOCIATION is owned by more than one Person or by an entity,the consent for such
Lot(s) need only be signed by one Person who would be entitled to cast the vote(s) for the Lot(s).

the BOARD as set forth above.
5.2 Election of Members of the BOARD. Election to the BOARD by the
MEMBERS of the ASSOCIATION shall be conducted in the following manner:
5.2.1 At any time after the DEVELOPER no longer has the right to
appoint one or more members of the BOARD or upon the earlier voluntary relinquishment by the
DEVELOPER of its right to appoint any of all members of the BOARD,the existing BOARD
shall appoint a nominating committee composed of MEMBERS. The BOARD shall send a
notice to all MEMBERS advising of the impending election of members to the BOARD, the
names and addresses of members of the nominating committee, and the date the committee will
make decisions concerning nominations for election to the BOARD, which date shall be no less
than fifteen (15) days after the date of the notice. MEMBERS may then submit names in writing
of proposed members of the BOARD to members of the nominating committee.
5.2.2 The nominating committee shall make as many nominations for
election to the BOARD as it shall in its discretion determine, but not less than the number of
vacancies that are to be filled (see subsection 5.1.2). Such nominations may be made from
among MEMBERS or nonmembers as the committee in its discretion shall determine.
Nominations shall be placed on a written ballot provided in subsection 5.2.3 for the mailing of
such ballots to the MEMBERS.
5.2.3 All elections to the BOARD shall be made by written ballot which
shall:
(a) indicate the number of vacancies to be filled;
(b) set forth the names of those nominated by the
nominating committee;
(c) contain a space for write-in vote by the MEMBERS;
and
(d) contain a requirement that the MEMBER must cast
the same number of votes as the number of vacancies on the BOARD. For example, if the
Bylaws of Bridgewater on Taylor Creek Townhouse Association,Inc. Page 6
Book622/Page1982 CFN#2007001960 Page 64 of 75
• •
MEMBER has one (1) vote, there are five(5) nominees and three(3)vacancies,the MEMBER
must vote for no more and no less than three (3)nominees or the ballot will not be counted. If
the MEMBER is entitled to, for instance, five (5)votes, in the example in the previous sentence,
the MEMBER must vote his five (5)votes as a block for no more and no less than three (3)
nominees or the ballot will not be counted. That is,three(3)nominees on that ballot will receive
exactly five (5) votes each.
Such ballots shall be prepared and mailed by the Secretary to the MEMBERS at least
fourteen (14) days in advance of the date set forth therein for a return(which shall be a date not
later than the day before the annual meeting). The Secretary shall include with the ballot a brief
summary and description of each Person nominated by the BOARD.
5.2.4 The completed ballot shall be returned as follows:
(a) Each ballot shall be placed in a sealed envelope
which shall bear on its face the name and signature of the MEMBER or his proxy, the number of
votes of that MEMBER, and such other information as the BOARD may determine will serve to
establish his right to cast the vote or votes presented in the ballot or ballots contained therein.
The ballots shall be returned to the Secretary at the address of the ASSOCIATION.
5.2.5 Upon receipt of each return,the Secretary shall immediately place
it in a safe or other locked place until the day set for the return of all ballots. On that day the
envelopes containing the ballot(s) shall be turned over, unopened, to a separate Election
Committee which shall consist of three(3) Persons appointed by the BOARD. The Election
Committee shall then adopt a procedure which shall:
(a) establish that the number of votes set forth on the
envelope and on the ballot corresponds to the number of votes allowed to the MEMBER or his
proxy; and
(b) that the signature of the MEMBER or his proxy on
the outside envelope is genuine; and
(c) if the vote is by proxy that a proxy has been filed
with the Secretary as provided herein, and that such proxy is valid.
The Election Committee shall proceed to the opening of the envelopes and the counting
of the votes. The Election Committee shall immediately send written notice to all MEMBERS
advising of the results of the election. The ballots and the outside envelopes shall be returned to
the Secretary to be kept in a safe or other locked place for a minimum of thirty(30) days. If no
MEMBER requests a review of the procedures and vote within said thirty (30) days, the ballots
and outside envelopes shall be destroyed.
5.3 Term of Office. On the first occasion that the MEMBERS, other than the
DEVELOPER, have the opportunity to elect any members of the BOARD, the MEMBERS shall
have the right to elect at least two (2)members of the BOARD. The term of office of the

incompetence or expiration of the terms of past members of the BOARD and the term of each
such member of the BOARD shall be two (2) years.
On the first occasion that the MEMBERS, other than the DEVELOPER, have the
opportunity to elect all members of the BOARD,the new members of the BOARD shall be
elected to replace the members of the BOARD appointed by the DEVELOPER as provided in
these Bylaws. The term of office of the two (2) members of the BOARD receiving the highest
number of votes shall be two (2)years and the term of office of the other member of the BOARD
shall be one (1)year. It is the intention of this provision to create staggered terms so that at least
one-third (1/3)of the members of the BOARD shall be elected each year. The term of office of
each member of the BOARD elected to fill a vacancy created by the expiration of the term of
office of the respective past member of the BOARD shall be two (2)years. The term of office of
each member of the BOARD elected or appointed to fill a vacancy created by the resignation,
