ADDISON RESERVE
MASTER PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION

Preamble

The Addison Reserve Master Property Owners Association, hereinafter also known as ARMPOA or the
“Master Association”, through its Board of Directors, Officers, employees, designees and/or agents, is
responsible for the operation, maintenance and management of the Area of Common Responsibility within
Addison Reserve. These responsibilities are set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, the Master Declaration
of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, the By-Laws, the Addison Reserve Architectural Development
Guidelines (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Governing Documents”), and the Statutes of the State
of Florida, unless otherwise excepted, as promulgated and/or amended from time to time.

The Master Association (ARMPOA) is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of nine (9) Owner
Members of Addison Reserve. Three Directors are elected, by rotation, every year and each serve three (3)
year terms. The Directors are elected by plurality vote of the Owners with one vote allotted to each Lot
provided the Owner is in good standing with ARMPOA. Any Owner in good standing may become a candidate
for the Board by timely self-nomination. The Board of Directors annually selects its governing officers.
Meetings of the Board of Directors are usually held monthly; notice of each meeting is posted at the Jog Road
entrance to Addison Reserve at least 48 hours prior to the meeting and all meetings, with limited exceptions
pursuant to Florida Statute, are open to the general membership of ARMPOA. The ARMPOA office is located
at 7150 Addison Reserve Blvd., immediately south of the Jog Road entrance gatehouse.

In addition, pursuant to the Governing Documents, the Master Association is authorized and empowered to
adopt and enforce Rules and Regulations, including the authority to file complaints, receive complaints, hold
and adjudicate hearings on complaints, levy fines and impose sanctions for violations thereof. Such
complaints are also known as Citations (for Vehicular, Parking and “Other Violations”, (see pages 12-14)
and/or Grievances (see pages 14-17). The authority to levy fines and impose sanctions is subject to the
requirements of fourteen (14) days’ notice and opportunity for a hearing before the Fining and Grievance
Committee (also known as the “F & G Committee” or “F & G”) composed of at least three (3) members who
are not officers, directors or employees (or a family member of such person) of the Association as set forth
in Florida Statute 720.305. These Rules and Regulations have been duly adopted in accordance with such
authority. Failure to enforce any rule or regulation shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of enforcement.
These Rules are a part of the Governing Documents of Addison Reserve Master Property Owners
Association and are to be interpreted in conjunction with those Documents. Should a conflict occur, the
Articles of Incorporation, Master Declaration and the By-Laws, in that order, shall take precedence.

Each Owner a/k/a Co-Owner is charged with knowledge of the Governing Documents as well as the Rules
& Regulations, and is expected to possess a copy of same, usually obtained at the time of purchase of their
Lot. Any Owner not in possession of a copy can obtain same from the Addison Reserve Master Property
Owners Association website at www.addisonreservempoa.com or by request at the ARMPOA office, 7150
Addison Reserve Blvd. The Governing Documents and all amendments to the Governing Documents as well
as the current Rules and Regulations are posted on the ARMPOA website.

All terms used in these Rules and Regulations which are defined in the Governing Documents shall have the
same meaning ascribed to them therein. The term “road” or “roadway” shall mean the paved area of any
street from curb to curb. The term “sidewalk” shall mean the paved strip of concrete or asphalt together with
adjacent paver bricks running parallel to the roadway and outside the curb line. The term “cartpath” or
“cart path” shall mean the paved strip of concrete or asphalt on the golf course intended for the use of golf
carts transporting golfers playing the course.

Any Member, hereinafter also known as Owner, Co-Owner or Homeowner, who fails to abide by the
provisions of the Governing Documents or these Rules and Regulations will be considered in violation, and
subject to the imposition of fines and/or sanctions. In furtherance thereof, the Board has established the
Fining and Grievance Committee (“F & G Committee” or “F & G”) and authorized it to determine if a violation
of the Governing Documents and/or of these Rules and Regulations has occurred and, if so, to impose
appropriate fines and/or sanctions. The F & G Committee is an independent fining committee, within the
meaning of Florida Statute 720.305, composed of at least three (3) members of ARMPOA, none of whom
are directors, officers or employees of the Association or a family member of any such person. Procedures
of the F & G Committee are conducted in accordance with Title XL, Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes. All
fines must be approved by the F & G Committee and the recipient notified within ten (10) days of issuance if
the fine for a citation or violation has been revised. In addition, the recipient has fourteen (14) days from the
date of issuance to request a hearing before the F & G Committee.

General Rules & Regulations
Owners are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with Community-Wide Standards. Any unlawful,
loud and/or abusive verbal or physical conduct or other inappropriate activity by a Homeowner within the
Area of Common Responsibility will be considered a violation of the Governing Documents and of these
Rules and Regulations.

Owners may be held responsible for violations resulting from a failure by their family members, guests,
tenants or invitees (including contractors and/or service providers) to abide by the provisions of the Governing
Documents and/or these Rules and Regulations. Guests and invitees may be precluded from entering upon
the Property of Addison Reserve as a result of any such violation.

Any Owner or authorized lessee intending to lease or sublease his/her Lot, must do so on a form acceptable
to the Master Association; submit a fully executed copy of that document to the Master Association and obtain
written approval prior to initiating the lease/sublease. The transaction shall comply with Sections 13.19.1 and
13.19.2 of the Master Declaration.

The Master Association has granted Owners the privileges of (i) maintaining a permanent list of guests and
invitees (including contractors and/or service providers), (ii) calling in guests and invitees using the Addison
Reserve automated entry system also known as “auto-entry” and, in addition, Owners are (iii) extended the
privilege of obtaining transponders which expedite the entry of vehicles through security gates. Each
registered resident is entitled to a permanent transponder affixed to each owned vehicle; the first two are free
and a charge proximate to the Master Association cost is made for each additional device. In addition, a
registered resident, by presenting their auto rental contract to Security, may request a temporary portable
transponder for the rental vehicle at a fully refundable cost of $50. The temporary portable transponders are
only valid for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days and then must be renewed at the Jog Road Security
Gate office.

5|Page

Violation of the Governing Documents and/or of these Rules and Regulations by an Owner, guest, tenant or
invitee may result in the suspension or revocation of one or more of these privileges.

All assessments and fines must be promptly paid when due. Failure to pay any assessment or fine within
ten (10) days of the due date may result in the imposition of interest charges, administrative charges and/or
additional sanctions, in accordance with the Governing Documents including Article XI of the Master
Declaration.

Abusive language, conduct, or harassment directed against any Director, Officer, employee, agent and/or
contractor of the Master Association is unacceptable and may result in a Grievance being filed by the Master
Association against the offending person.

Any conduct by an Owner, family member, guest, tenant or invitee (including contractors and/or service
providers) which disturbs the peace, quiet and/or comfort of the Area of Common Responsibility or adjacent
Properties including each individual Village may be considered a nuisance in violation of the Governing
Documents and/or of these Rules and Regulations.

All property is to be kept in clean and sanitary condition. No rubbish, trash, garbage or other waste material
should be kept or permitted other than in a rubber and/or plastic trash receptacle having a cover, which
should not be visible from the Common Area or adjacent Properties, except for the minimum time necessary
for its collection. Trash receptacles should not be put out prior to 7:00 P.M. of the night prior to pick-up, and
should be retrieved as soon as practicable after pick-up.

Door-to-door soliciting is not permitted within the community without the prior written approval of the Master
Association or Board of Directors.

Dumping of any material (including but not limited to tree limbs and grass cuttings) into any lake, canal, pond
or stream, or upon any other portion of the Areas of Common Responsibility, is prohibited.

Water, when removed from a swimming pool or other Owner basin, must be deposited into a street sewer
grate or equivalent receptacle. The water may not be deposited in a lake or pond on the Addison Reserve
property. In addition, water may not be withdrawn from an Addison Reserve lake or pond for any purpose
by anyone other than an authorized agent of Addison Reserve MPOA. Pursuant to Article XIII, Section
13.26.4 of the ARMPOA Master Declaration, Addison Reserve Homeowners are allowed to construct a well
on their Lot for the purpose of ground and plant irrigation provided such facility is allowed by the Governing
Documents of their Village and prior approval is obtained from both such Village and the ARC of the Addison
Reserve Master Property Owners Association.

Boating, swimming and wading is not permitted in any of the lakes, canals, ponds and streams within the
Property of the Addison Reserve community without the prior written approval of the Master Association.
Fishing is permitted only from the banks of those lakes, canals, ponds and streams within the community that
are not located on the golf courses.

Animals (Pets and otherwise)
Household pets when outside the confines of the house in which they reside and not within a completely
secured fenced/walled area on the Owner’s Lot or within the Addison Reserve Dog Park must at all times be
confined and controlled on a leash held by a responsible person. In either event, the restraint must be
adequate to prevent the pet from making contact with any person or other pet.

6|Page

Pets are not permitted to trespass on the Lots of other Homeowners, and are only permitted on those portions
of the Common Area designated by the Master Association.
The Addison Reserve Dog Park is a fenced facility located just east of the Sales Center Building and is
provided for the use of Owners and their canine pets. The Dog Park has a list of rules posted at its entrance
which must be observed. Pet owners and/or other persons entrusted with the care of a pet are responsible
for removing any solid waste of the pet and for disposing of such waste in a designated receptacle or within
the residence that houses the pet. Article XIII, Section 13.3 of the Master Declaration sets forth additional
restrictions pertaining to animals and pets which are subject to enforcement under these Rules and
Regulations.

Architectural Review Committee
The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) has exclusive jurisdiction over modifications, additions or
alterations made on or to the Area of Common Responsibility and/or Properties. The Architectural Review
Committee is also responsible for reviewing and approving proposed architectural or landscaping revisions,
site and design plan changes, including but not limited to construction of a well or private water system. ARC
requires that any Owner planning a modification as described must submit a professionally drawn survey or
site plan with specifications as well as information regarding the contractor. Specific information regarding
the ARC requirements can be obtained from the MPOA office by phone at 561-637-7870. The ARMPOA
office is located in the Sales Center Building just south of the Jog Road entrance gatehouse.

The ARC requires that notice of any proposed change that may affect the adjacent Owner(s)’ property or
enjoyment of their property, be provided to all homeowners whose property lies within 200 feet of the subject
property unless waived by the ARC. Any homeowner who responds to such notice shall be provided an
opportunity to appear at the next ARC meeting and be heard.

The ARC does not accept and/or adjudicate complaints; that function is performed by the ARMPOA through
the grievance process. The ARC is a fact-finding committee that determines appropriate building and
landscape improvements or revisions as well as maintenance standards. This responsibility is conducted in
a manner to give fair and balanced consideration to Homeowners, their neighbors and, most importantly, to
protect the quality and integrity of the overall Addison Reserve community.

The Addison Reserve Architectural Development Guidelines, including its referenced attachments,
appendices, amendments and revisions, establish criteria and procedures for development, design,
construction and maintenance standards within Addison Reserve. In addition, Article XIII, Section 13.26 of
the Master Declaration sets forth further use restrictions which require approval by the ARC.

The Architectural Development Guidelines provide that temporary storm shutters and/or approved permanent
storm shutters (either also known as hurricane shutters) should not be installed and/or closed more than
ninety-six (96) hours before hurricane warnings are issued for South Palm Beach County. The shutters must
be removed and/or retracted within seven (7) calendar days after hurricane storm warnings are lifted for
South Palm Beach County. Storm or hurricane shutters are not permitted to remain attached to the house (if
removable) or closed for longer than the time periods set forth in this paragraph.

Failure of an Owner to abide by the rules, regulations and/or decisions of the ARC will be considered a
violation of the Governing Documents and subject to enforcement under these Rules and Regulations.

ARC COMMUNITY WIDE STANDARDS
To ensure that the quality and property values of Addison Reserve are protected, the ARC has created general guidelines for
the maintenance and care of the homes and surrounding property. These standards are known as the Community Wide
Standards and will form the basis to ensure all homes and Villages are maintained to a reasonably high standard. These high
standards are to be considered as guidelines for the protection and preservation of the quality of the Addison Reserve
Community.

A. Standard for Lawns and Yards

1. No unsightly conditions shall be permitted upon an Owner's Lot. The ARC and the MPOA shall have the right
but not the obligation to notify the Village through the Village Manager of any violation of these Standards and
to recommend corrective action be taken by the Lot Owner or Village Association to achieve compliance with
these Standards.

2. Lawn and Grass
Lot Owners shall ensure that all grass on their Lots is regularly mowed so as not to exceed 4 1/2 inches in height.
Driveways and sidewalks must be blown or swept clean of grass clipping so they are not allowed to accumulate.
Lot Owners are responsible for maintaining the grass so it has a healthy and clean appearance, including pest
control and fertilizer, seeding, watering, weed removal, mulch application, edging and other tasks to promote good
health. Grass should be treated and remain weed and fungus free. Dead or dying sod must be replaced.
Owners should demonstrate care to ensure that weed infestation does not migrate to neighbors’ yards. (Village
Associations who provide this service are responsible for following the same guidelines.) Owners are responsible
for the maintenance and upkeep of grass located beyond their rear Lot line continuing to the margin of any lake or
pond on the Common Area or golf course.

3. Weeding and Pruning
Lot Owners shall keep their lots free of weeds, leaves and overgrown or unsightly shrub or plant growth, and shall
undertake any weeding or mulching of plant beds, removal of leaves from bed areas and proper pruning of all
plant material and shaping of the plants to promote proper health. Trees over 6 feet in height must be trimmed or
pruned to promote health of the tree and to remove dead or dying limbs. The lot shall be maintained so that it is
considered in a neat appearance. Lot Owners should not remove any tree without the written approval of the
ARC. (Village Associations that provide this service will be responsible for following the same guidelines.)

4. Trash and Refuse
Lot Owners shall keep their Lots free from litter, trash, leaves and other household debris at all times, except for
the placing of trash or debris on the lot for the normal garbage removal. Consideration will be given for up to 2
weeks following a major declared storm or hurricane to allow the resident to obtain services to ensure the pristine
condition of the lot is returned. The Village and the MPOA are permitted to enter the Lot after proper notice to
restore or clean up debris left in an unclean condition following proper notice.

5. Fences
Lot Owners shall maintain all fencing in reasonably good condition.

8|Page

6. Dead or Dying Plants
Lot Owners will be responsible to replace any dead or dying plant material, vines, grass or any other plants and trees,
and will be expected to submit to the ARC for any plant or tree material that has died and must be replaced. (Village
Associations that provide this service will be responsible for following the same guidelines.)

B. Condition of Homes: Pressure Cleaning and Painting
Homes and driveways located within the Addison Reserve Community must be maintained in a clean and neat appearance.
Mildew and mold collected on the exterior surface of the home, roof or surrounding walls or driveway must be cleaned
either by chemical means or pressure washed to ensure the surface is maintained in a clean appearance. This is
recommended every 2 to 3 years as may be reasonably necessary. Painting and caulking shall be performed on a regular
basis to insure a like new appearance.

In the event of a violation of the above items, a written notice of corrective action shall be the sent to the Village Manager
or Village Association. It is the intent of the MPOA to make a violation of the above standards known in written form, and
sent to the Lot Owner through the Smart Web System or equivalent in each Village.

The following violations will be noticed to the Village in accordance with the governing documents of the ARMPOA.
The usual procedure employed by the ARC is:

1. 1st notice: 30 days to correct deficiencies.
2. 2nd notice:14 days reminder notice to correct deficiencies.
3. 3rd notice:7 days final notice.
4. The ARC reserves the right to file a Grievance or make recommendations for corrective action with the MPOA.

Buttonwood Park
Buttonwood Park is an MPOA facility located at the intersection of Addison Reserve Drive and Addison
Reserve Blvd. Buttonwood is a small park with children’s play facilities and a lavatory. It may be reserved
for private parties by obtaining approval from the Master Property Owners Association (Phone 561-637-
7870). The approval, if granted, will require certain documentation such as proof of insurances (liability and
workers compensation) and a deposit to assure that the facility is returned in the same condition as when
given. The conditions and requirements can be obtained from the MPOA office located in the Master
Association office in the Sales Center Building near the Jog Rd. entrance to the Addison Reserve community.

Paramedical Team
The Addison Reserve Master Property Owners Association maintains a paramedical response team for the
benefit of Addison Reserve homeowners, family members and their guests. It is available seven days a
week, twenty-four hours a day. The response team operates a vehicle equipped to assist in emergencies of
a non-life threatening nature and is prepared to arrange transportation to a medical facility as necessary.

Parking and Vehicular Regulations
Owners and their guests must comply with all traffic regulations as set forth by the State of Florida (Title XXIII,
Chapter 316), Palm Beach County, and the Master Association (except as set forth below), e.g. all posted
speed limits within the community must be strictly obeyed; vehicles must come to a full stop at all Stop signs
within the community; etc.

9|Page

Pedestrians, including joggers and runners, should use the sidewalks. When on Addison Blvd, Drive or Way,
joggers, runners and roller skaters may also proceed on the right edge of the roadway in the direction of
traffic. Pedestrians have the right-of-way at all times on all roads and sidewalks within the community.

Golf carts traveling on Addison Reserve Blvd, Drive or Way are required to use the sidewalks except when
crossing the roadway at a 90 degree angle to the flow of traffic, and are limited to a maximum speed of fifteen
(15) Miles per Hour. Motor vehicles (including golf carts) may not be driven within the community except by
drivers who are at least sixteen (16) years of age, and who have been issued a valid driver’s license which
is in effect. In addition, at all times each owner of a golf cart is required to maintain in effect liability insurance
with minimum limits of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence; a certificate verifying such
coverage must be maintained on file in the Addison Reserve Golf Office whether the cart is used for golf
course play or only general transportation purposes. Golf carts are limited to three (3) occupants at any given
time and a passenger may never sit in the lap of the driver. Additional Golf Cart requirements are contained
in Article X of the Addison Reserve Country Club By-Laws. A violation of any golf cart regulation is subject to
a traffic citation issued by Addison Reserve Security and fine and/or sanction at the discretion of the F & G
Committee.

Cyclists, roller skaters, joggers, etc. may use the sidewalks or roadways within the community. If in the
roadway, they must stay to the right edge of the roadway and move in the same direction as vehicular traffic.
When cycling along a major thoroughfare within the community, children under the age of sixteen (16), and
any adult cyclist(s) accompanying them, must ride on the sidewalks. It is recommended that cycles have a
bell or horn to warn pedestrians and others on foot that they are approaching.

Vehicles parked on the street must park in the direction of the flow of traffic. Parked vehicles must use only
the odd numbered side of the street in odd numbered months (January, March, May, July, September and
November) and the even numbered side of the street in even numbered months (February, April, June,
August, October and December). Parking on lawns is not permitted at any time. There is a “no parking zone”
(marked in white on the curb) at the entrance and exit to each village roadway that must be observed.

Overnight parking is not permitted on any street or roadway within the community. Overnight parking of
automobiles and other non-commercial trucks or vans is only permitted on an Owners’ driveway or in an
Owners’ garage.

Vehicles used for recreational purposes, including golf carts, boats, trailers, jet-skis, etc., must be parked in
a garage at all times when not in use.

Garage doors are to remain closed except as necessary for ingress and egress.
Vehicles used for the transport of multiple automobiles are not permitted within the community.

Article XIII, Sections 13.1 and 13.23 of the Master Declaration set forth additional parking and vehicular
restrictions subject to enforcement under these Rules and Regulations. Failure to observe any of these Rules
and Regulations may result in a fine and/or other sanction.

Security Regulations
Transponders are small communication devices that facilitate access to the Addison Reserve gate system
and entry into the Addison Reserve property. Transponders are distributed for the sole use of Owners and
their household residents.

10 | P a g e

They may be affixed to a resident’s car for permanent use or loaned to the resident for use on a rental vehicle
for a limited period of time. A transponder may not be given to guests, invitees, vendors or household help.

Except in the case of household and medical emergencies or other similar situations, no contractor, service
provider or other commercial vehicle working for a private Homeowner will be allowed access to the
community earlier than 7:00 A.M., Monday through Saturday, and must conclude work and exit the
community no later than 6:00 P.M. Such vehicles are permitted to enter and exit only via the Linton Boulevard
entrance, and must adequately display the name and business address of the commercial entity so that they
may be identified when within the community. Except in the case of emergency, no such vehicle (including
but not limited to moving vans and construction vehicles) will be permitted entry to the community on Sundays
or national holidays except with prior Master Association or Master Association Board approval.

While in the community, contractors and service providers:
 are subject to all parking and vehicular regulations.
 are not permitted to be accompanied by a pet or other animal.
 are not permitted to use radios, CD players or like audio equipment which may constitute a nuisance.
 must at all times be properly attired (including shirts which cover their upper body).
 are not permitted to litter.
 must clean up the job-site before leaving.
 are responsible for any damage caused within the Area of Common Responsibility.

Compliance for Citations
Addison Reserve security personnel are authorized to issue citations to any person who fails to adhere to
these Rules and Regulations including, but not limited to, parking and vehicular regulations. A Schedule of
Fines and Sanctions for violation of various Rules and Regulations, including parking and vehicular
regulations, is shown on pages 12-14.

Persons receiving a citation may acknowledge culpability and agree to pay the applicable fine and accept
the applicable sanction, if any. The citation will provide information regarding how to determine the applicable
fine and/or sanction, and how to make payment.

In the alternative, the recipient of the citation may choose to dispute the violation before the
F & G Committee pursuant to the procedures set forth on page 12.

Citations
Traffic violations, and particularly speeding, are a major safety concern within the Addison Reserve Area of
Common Responsibility. Traffic violations are established by Addison Reserve security personnel or
mechanical equipment placed in Areas of Common Responsibility for that purpose. Addison Reserve is
populated by large numbers of minor children at many times during the year and typically during the winter
season. ARMPOA is concerned about the safety of all residents and guests and most particularly about the
safety of these small citizens. Addison Reserve security personnel are authorized to issue citations to any
person (“Recipient”) who fails to abide by the provisions of the Governing Documents and/or Rules and
Regulations including, but not limited to, parking and vehicular regulations. The F & G Committee will review
the fine imposed for each citation or violation and approve, reject or modify the disposition. If the fine is
changed, the recipient will be advised of such action within fourteen (14) days of the change.

11 | P a g e

Failure by the Recipient to respond to the citation in a timely manner will be deemed to be an admission of
the alleged violation by default, and may result in the imposition of an appropriate fine and/or sanction.

A Recipient of a citation who wishes to contest the violation(s) alleged may, within fourteen (14) days of the
issuance of the citation, either:

1. Submit a written statement(s) in the form appended and designated as “Form A” (see page
18, this booklet) for consideration by the F & G Committee setting forth the reasons why
the citation should be dismissed; or

2. Request the F & G Committee schedule a hearing at which time the recipient may present
evidence to support dismissal of the citation.

If a written statement in support of dismissal is filed, a panel of not less than three (3) members of the F & G
Committee will review the submission including any timely submitted written statements of witnesses. The
panel will then determine whether or not a violation has occurred. To assist the panel in reaching a decision,
it may interview the security personnel involved in the issuance of the citation and any witnesses to the
incident. It may also review any written reports and/or statements submitted by such security personnel and
witnesses and any other evidence available to it. The F & G Committee shall not be bound by the Rules of
Evidence and may consider any evidence it deems probative giving due weight to hearsay or other secondary
evidence. If the panel determines that a violation of the Governing Documents and/or the Rules and
Regulations has occurred, it will impose an appropriate fine and/or sanction and notify the Recipient. Notice
shall be considered given by placing the document in a United States Post Office Mail Depository with
postage prepaid. Failure by the Recipient to comply with the decision of the panel will result in the filing of a
grievance by the Master Association against the Recipient, and the imposition of additional fines and/or
sanctions.

In the event a request for a hearing is timely filed, a hearing will be scheduled, before a panel of not less than
three (3) members of the F & G Committee at its regular monthly meeting or as otherwise scheduled, and
the Recipient advised (not less than fourteen [14] days prior to the hearing) as to the time and place at which
such hearing will take place. Failure by the Recipient to appear at the hearing will be deemed to be an
admission of the alleged violation, and will result in the imposition of appropriate fines and/or sanctions.

At the conclusion of the hearing the panel will review the evidence presented and determine, by majority
vote, whether a violation of the Governing Documents and/or the Rules and Regulations has occurred. If the
panel determines that such a violation has occurred, it will impose appropriate fines and/or sanctions and
notify the Recipient. Failure by the Recipient to comply with the decision of the panel will result in the filing
of a grievance by the Master Association against the Recipient and the imposition of additional fines and/or
sanctions.

Schedule of Fines and Sanctions
Violations of the Governing Documents and/or Rules and Regulations may result in the imposition of fines
and/or sanctions, including the suspension of various rights and privileges pertaining to Common Area
facilities. The imposition of such fines and sanctions shall comply with the statutory mandates of Chapter
720 of the Florida Statutes relating to Homeowner Associations.

sanction will not be considered satisfied until all sums due for any and all violations have been paid in full.
Failure to pay any fine or comply with any other sanction within thirty (30) days of imposition will be
considered an additional violation and the F & G Committee is empowered to impose such additional
penalty as it deems proper. Three (3) or more citations and/or violations, within any two (2) year period, will
be referred to and reviewed by the F & G Committee to determine additional sanctions.

The Fining and Grievance Process
Under the Governing Documents and these Rules and Regulations, the F & G Committee is empowered to
determine whether a violation of the Governing Documents and/or Rules and Regulations has occurred.
A determination by the Committee that such a violation has occurred may result in the imposition of fines
and/or sanctions, including the suspension of various rights and privileges about Common Area facilities.

Notice and conduct of such hearings (see pages 16 - 17 of this booklet) will be conducted by the procedure
outlined in Florida Statute 720.305 (see page 4 of this book and Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes relating
to Homeowner Associations), as may be amended from time to time.

Any Owner may file a grievance against another Owner or any other person, alleging a violation of the
Governing Documents and/or these Rules and Regulations including, but not limited to, improper or offensive
conduct, nuisances, violations of the Architectural Development Guidelines, parking, and vehicular violations,

etc. Forms for the filing of a grievance by an Owner appended and designated as “Form B” (see page 19 of
this booklet) may be obtained from the Master Association Office located in the Sales Center Building.

Any Addison Reserve Village, through its Board of Directors, may file a grievance against any Owner(s),
residing within or outside that Village, or any other person (see Form B, page 19 of this booklet), alleging a
violation of the MPOA Governing Documents and/or these Rules and Regulations including, but not limited
to, improper or offensive conduct, nuisances, violations of the Architectural Development Guidelines,
maintenance standards, parking and vehicular violations, etc.

14 | P a g e

In addition, the Master Association or any Committee of the Master Association (see Form C, page 20 of this
booklet) with the approval of the ARMPOA Board, may file a grievance against an Owner or any other person,
alleging a violation of the Governing Documents and/or these Rules and Regulations such as, but not limited
to: failure to respond to a citation, failure to comply with a decision of the F & G Committee or engaging in
improper or offensive conduct directed against any Director, Officer, employee such as security personnel,
agent and/or contractor of the Master Association, etc. In filing such a grievance, the Master Association
will utilize the applicable form appended and designated as “Form C” (see page 20 of this booklet).

Grievance Procedure
The person filing the grievance (“Complainant”) must specify all relevant facts in support of the grievance,
sign and date the applicable form, and submit it to the Master Association Office. Except in the case of a
continuing violation, the grievance must be filed within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the alleged
violation.

All complaints, criticisms or suggestions of any kind relating to the operations of ARMPOA or the conduct of
its employees (whether subcontracted from Lang Management Company or employed directly) must be in
writing, signed and addressed to the Lang Management Regional Vice President.

Such actions may not be the subject of a grievance but will be resolved within the administrative process of
ARMPOA and Lang Management Company.

Upon receipt of a properly prepared grievance form, the Master Association Office will promptly forward a
copy of the grievance form and all related documents to the F & G Committee. The Committee Chairman
will convene a panel of not less than three (3) Committee members who will review the submitted documents
and make an initial investigation and/or determination as to whether the alleged conduct constitutes a
grievable offense in the first instance. In making such determination, the panel will assume that all of the
facts alleged are true.

If the panel determines that the allegations provide no valid basis for a grievance, they will advise the
Complainant.

If the panel determines that a valid basis does exist, they will send notice thereof to the person against
whom the complaint has been filed (“Respondent”), with a copy to the Complainant. The notice shall
include a copy of all relevant documents submitted by the Complainant in support of the grievance.

If the panel believes that it, with or without the assistance of any other member of the F & G Committee,
might be able to bring about an amicable settlement of the differences between the Complainant and the
Respondent without the need for a formal grievance hearing, it may, in its sole discretion, attempt to achieve
such result. In the absence of such a result, the panel will schedule a grievance hearing and advise the
Complainant and Respondent (not less than fourteen (14) days before the hearing) as to the time and place
that the hearing will take place.

Failure by the Respondent to appear at the hearing, or to otherwise submit any evidence in defense of the
allegations, will be deemed an admission of the alleged conduct by default.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the panel will review the evidence presented and determine, by majority
vote, whether to sustain or dismiss the grievance.

15 | P a g e

If the grievance is sustained, the panel will impose appropriate fines and/or sanctions and, within five (5) days
of its decision, notify the Complainant and Respondent. Failure by the Respondent to comply with the
decision of the panel may result in the imposition of additional fines and/or sanctions.

The Hearing Process
All hearings convened by the F & G Committee under these Rules and Regulations will be informal in nature,
and not governed by formal rules of evidence. The burden of proof shall be on the party alleging the
wrongdoing, with the determining standard being a preponderance of the credible evidence.

Parties to the proceeding are advised that their conduct and demeanor during the hearing may influence the
opinion of members of the Committee and, accordingly, are cautioned to conduct themselves in an
appropriate manner. Parties and/or witnesses may not be represented by an attorney. The Complainant and
Respondent will each be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard, to present evidence, and to question
witnesses on the issues in dispute.

Employees of Addison Reserve Club or Addison Reserve Master Property Owners Association (or Lang
Management Company if assigned to Addison Reserve MPOA for work purposes) need not appear in person
and may be represented at the hearing by their supervisor or presentation of a written statement or both.

Written statements may be submitted in support of the questions in issue; however, if not corroborated by a
witness at the hearing, they may carry less probative weight.

Members of the Committee will also have the opportunity to question the parties and witnesses, if present,
on the evidence.

The hearings will be held in closed session, with only the parties to the proceeding and witnesses permitted
to attend. Attendance by witnesses will be limited to the period of their testimony only; witnesses will be
excluded from the hearing at all other times. Minutes will be taken to provide an accurate record of the
proceeding.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, reschedule or continue a hearing on its instance or at the request
of a party. Any such request by a party must be in writing and state the reason for the requested
postponement.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the Fining and Grievance Committee shall render its decision. If the decision
is for the Respondent, the Committee shall so indicate, and the proceeding shall conclude. If the decision is
for the Complainant, the Committee shall order one more of the following terms against the Respondent:

 No resultant penalty
 Monetary fines and/or reimbursement consistent with the Florida Statutes
 Suspension of the privilege of using a transponder for a period to be determined by the F &

G Committee
 Suspension of the privilege of using the automated entry system for a period to be

determined by the F & G Committee

Appeals
When a fine or sanction is imposed on a Respondent, said party should have the right to appeal the decision
of the F & G Committee, as well as the appropriateness of the fines and/or sanctions, to the Board of Directors
of the Master Association. In such event, implementation of the F & G Committees decision will stay pending
the outcome of the appeal.
Notice of such appeal, in the form, appended and designated as “Form D”, (page 21) shall be filed with the
Master Association Office within ten (10) days of the date of the notice advising of the F & G Committees
decision, and shall set forth the basis upon which the Respondent believes the decision of the F & G
Committee to be in error.
The introduction of evidence not previously submitted will not be permitted.
The ARMPOA Board, in a closed hearing, after reviewing the evidence on record, shall have the right to
uphold, overrule or modify the decision of the F & G Committee; provided however, that the ARMPOA Board
shall not have the power to increase any fine or add to any sanctions imposed by the F & G Committee.
Amendments
The Board of the Master Association (ARMPOA) shall have the right to amend the Rules & Regulations
from time to time under Article X, Section 10.2 of the Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions. All amendments shall be in writing, posted to the Addison Reserve Master Owners
Association website (www. addisonreservempoa.com) and available, upon request, at the Master
Association office located at 7150 Addison Reserve Blvd. in the Sales Center building.
