Lake Shore HOA Covenants Amendments - 2014 09 15

Lake Shore HOA Covenants - 2006: This document contains the organization, rules and regulations, rights and responsibilities for homeowners and residents of the Lake Shore subdivision.

The Amendments to the Covenants should be kept and distributed with the Covenants. These will be added to as they are discovered or passed by HOA Member vote.

The Lake Shore HOA Covenants require an ARB Permit request be filled out, and returned to Lanier for the Architectural Review Board review and approval or disapproval, before you begin construction.. Should your request be disapproved, you may then file a Variance request. Details of the procedure and Design Standards may be found in the HOA Covenants, and the Design Standards contained in the 2015 Handbook.

You may have to apply for, and receive, a City Permit as part of your ARB request. Fences, and sheds over 12 ft x 10 ft in dimensions need a City Permit.

Lake Shore HOA ByLaws

The original Lake Shore HOA ByLaws were an Exhibit B attached to the Lake Shore HOA Covenants. These original ByLaws appear to have been misplaced. Amending or creating ByLaws after POA or non-profit corporation has Members, requires an HOA Member vote.

The current ByLaws were signed into being without an HOA Member vote.

The Lake Shore HOA ByLaws detail the organization of the HOA; the voting procedures that govern the HOA; and the responsibilities of the HOA Board of Directors, and such Committees as the Board of Directors might organize.
