Rules and Regulations

The purpose of these Rules and Regulations is to provide guidelines for the individual unit owner and for the elected Board of Directors of the Association and of the Tax District. The Board’s main responsibilities are: (1) to provide for the safety, comfort and security that is necessary to ensure a good quality of life in a condominium community, and (2) to preserve, protect and enhance the mutual financial interest held in the realty by the condo owners.

The Board enforces the rules, regulations and ordinances. When enforcing the rules, the Board will apply the principle of mutual protection and benefit with the least amount of individual restriction. Whenever the rules and regulations do not seem to speak directly to a specific case, the spirit of the rules will govern the Board’s decision.

14. If children obtain permission from school for a child residing elsewhere to ride the bus with them, parents of the resident child are responsible for the visiting child’s behavior.

15. Transportation for handicapped or temporarily disabled children shall be arranged with the Department of Education.

XII. Enforcement Of Rules And Regulations

Currier Woods constitutes a small self-contained community. Therefore, when someone takes ownership and/or moves into one of the condo units, they become subject to the rules and regulations of the community. Guests of residents are also subject to the same rules and regulations.

Landlords are responsible for the actions of their tenants and their tenants’ guests.

The elected Board of Directors is the governing body that has both the authority and responsibility to enforce all the rules, regulations and By-Laws.

The Board’s goal is to encourage compliance with its rules, regulations and By-Laws. Each of us must recognize that while the board tries to be accommodating, the Board’s decisions have an impact upon the community, not just the situation at hand. Therefore, the Board must often look beyond the incident under consideration to the future impact on the community.

These Rules and Regulations shall be enforced by the Management Company at the direction of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of the Unit Ownership Act of Connecticut, the Condominium Declarations and the By-Laws of the Currier Woods Condominium Association.

Miscellaneous

Modification and Waiver. A modification and waiver of any of the provisions of these Rules and Regulations shall be effective only if made in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Declaration. The failure of the Association to insist upon strict performance of any provisions of these Rules and Regulations shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature.

Interpretation. These Rules and Regulations shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut.

Separable Provisions. These Rules and Regulations shall be considered separable and in the event any portion of them is declared invalid by any Court of competent jurisdiction, the same shall not affect the validity or affect any other portion or provision.

Headings. The paragraph heading herein are for convenience only and not be construed to limit or affect any provisions of these Rules and Regulations.

Procedures in Case of Violations

Complaints of rules violations should be made in writing and submitted to the Property Manager. The person making the complaint must be identified in the complaint. The Property Manager and the Board may initiate their own written complaints.

1. Upon receipt of a written complaint, the Property Manager shall review the complaint to determine if any action is necessary.

2. The Management Office may respond to the complaint with a written warning or immediate compliance letter, giving the person a chance to rectify the complaint.

3. The person has the right to request a hearing regarding the complaint, within ten (10) days from the date of the letter.

4. See Fines section below for details of amounts levied.

The owners of record will be mailed a letter to the address on the Association’s records, by certified mail, return receipt and by regular mail. A copy will be sent to any tenants occupying the unit if they are involved in the complaint by certified mail, return receipt requested and by regular mail.
After a fine has been levied against an owner’s account, he may request in writing a hearing before the Board. If the violation has been abated, the Board may recommend that no action be taken in regards to the violation.
Before the hearing, the owner of the unit will be entitled to examine and make copies of documents in the association’s possession related to the complaint. The Association, however, may refuse inspection and copying which are privileged from disclosure or otherwise made confidential or protected, for example, attorney work product. The complainant will also be invited to attend a hearing to present testimony or provide evidence.
Before the Board can conduct a hearing, a quorum of the Board must be present. If a Board member excuses himself or herself from consideration of the complaint, the votes of the majority of the members present and exercising their power to vote shall constitute the decision of the hearing.
The Board shall determine the procedure to be used at the hearing. The hearing procedure shall generally be as follows:

1. The Board of Directors shall explain the violation and present the evidence it has concerning the complaint.

2. The alleged violator shall have the opportunity to respond to and present evidence concerning the alleged violation or the abatement of the violation.

3. At its discretion, the Board of Directors may allow the alleged violator to question witnesses presenting testimony adverse to the alleged violator.

4. The Board of Directors shall then adjourn the evidence portion of the hearing and reach a decision concerning the violation. The Board may retire to an executive session to discuss its decision or may vote immediately upon a completion of the hearing.

The Board shall give notice of its decision in writing within 10 days after the hearing to the unit owner and tenant, if the tenant is involved in the complaint. This decision shall include a description of the violation, the document provision violated, and the action taken by the Board. This decision shall be delivered to the unit owner or tenant in the same manner as the original notice. The Board may decide to continue or delay its decision on the violation and shall notify the unit owner and/or tenant of this decision. A notice stating that the Board’s decision will be delayed shall state the time in which the Board will render its decision and the reason for delay.

The lifeguard will stay on duty for one (1) hour, conducting routine duties, to determine if the pool will reopen. If the inclement weather continues after one (1) hour, the pool will remain closed, the clubhouse locked and the pool area secured. The lifeguard will sign out for the day.

During that time the lifeguard must vacuum the pool, clean the filters, check the chemical levels and conduct routine trash pick-up and maintenance operations and if needed raise the American flag. These duties will be outlined by the lifeguard’s immediate supervisor and may change during the season. The last lifeguard of the day will collect all trash and carry it to the trash area, return all lounge chairs to the concrete area in an orderly fashion, inspect and clean all locker areas and bathrooms, if needed lower and store the American flag and generally, leave the facility in such a condition that it may be opened quickly the next day.

Swimming Lessons

Any qualified lifeguard, employed by Currier Woods, who wishes to provide swim lessons to residents and/or their children, may do so on their own time.

The head lifeguard shall check the first aid kit and lifesaving equipment on a twice a week basis. Any necessary items shall be replaced promptly.

Lifeguards must report any incidents which might lead to the injury of any person, or the damage of any property in Currier Woods.

When lifeguards are working and not on a break, they may not have guests or socialize. Their responsibility is to insure the safe and orderly operation of the pool area and should not be distracted from those duties.

Planned Hours[05/04]

The pool operating hours will be determined by the Pool Committee Chairperson and approved by the Executive Board. Each year, prior to the pool beginning operation for the season, the hours will be published in the Currier Connection.

There may be occasions when the pool hours will be shorter due to cool or inclement weather. These occasions will be determined by the Pool Committee Chairperson on a case by case basis.

The pool may remain open on weekends in September, if the weather remains warm. The hours of operation for September shall be determined by the Pool Committee Chairperson and approved by the Executive Board. Pool hours may be modified depending on the availability of lifeguards and the weather.

This section does not permit installation on Common areas, even if an acceptable-quality signal cannot be received from a unit or limited common area over which a unit owner has exclusive use.

5. If an installation cannot comply with the previous section because the installation would unreasonably delay, unreasonably increase the cost, or preclude reception of acceptable-quality signals, the unit owner must ensure that the installation location is as close to a conforming location as possible. The Association may request an explanation of why the nonconforming location is necessary. This section does not permit installation on Common Areas, even if an acceptable-quality signal cannot be received from a unit or limited common areas over which a unit owner has exclusive use.

C. Installation on Limited Common Areas

1. Antennas shall be no larger nor installed higher than is absolutely necessary for reception of an acceptable quality signal.

2. All installations shall be completed so as to not materially damage the common areas, limited common areas or individual units, or void any warranties of the condominium association or other owners, or in any way impair the integrity of the building.

4. Antennas must be secured so they do not jeopardize the soundness or safety of any structure or the safety of any person at or near the antennas, including damage from wind velocity.

5. There shall be no penetrations of exterior limited common areas of the building unless it is necessary to receive an acceptable quality signal or it would unreasonably increase the cost of antenna installation. The following devices shall be used unless they would prevent an acceptable quality signal or unreasonably increase the cost of antenna installation, maintenance or use:

a. Devices that permit the transmission of telecommunications signals through a glass pane without cutting or drilling a hole through the glass pane;

4. To prevent electrical and fire damage, antennas shall be permanently grounded.

F. Antenna Camouflaging

1. To the extent that the manufacturer’s warranty will not be invalidated, antennas and all associated mounting materials, wiring, and cabling shall be painted to match the color of the structure to which they are installed. If painting a portion of the antenna, mounting materials or wiring will not invalidate a warranty, then the unit owner shall paint that portion of same.

2. Antennas installed on the ground and visible from the street or other units must be camouflaged. An antenna should preferably be camouflaged by existing landscaping or screening. If existing landscaping will not adequately camouflage the antenna, then the Association may require additional camouflage or may install additional camouflage and assess the cost of the camouflaging against the unit which has installed the antenna pursuant to Article VII, Section 5 of the Bylaws. If the camouflaging will cause an unreasonable cost increase, then the Association has the option to pay for the cost of the additional camouflage.

3. Exterior antenna wiring shall be installed so as to be minimally visible.

G. Mast Installation

Mast height may be no higher than necessary to receive acceptable quality signals.

These rules shall apply in all respects to tenants. Tenants desiring to install antennas shall obtain prior written permission of the unit owner. A copy of this permission must be furnished with the notification statement.

L. Enforcement

1. If these rules are violated, the Association, after notice and opportunity to be heard, may bring action for declaratory relief with the FCC or any court of competent jurisdiction. If the court or FCC determines that the Association rule is enforceable, a fine of $25 shall be imposed by the Association for each violation. If the violation is not corrected within a reasonable length of time, additional fines of $10 per day will be imposed for each day that the violation continues. To the extent permitted by law, the Association shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of this policy.

Appendix G: Guideline for the Construction of Modifications to the Exterior of a Condo Unit

Guideline for the Construction of Modifications to the Exterior of a Condo Unit

The following are the guidelines to be followed when constructing modifications to a condo unit including expansion into the Limited Common Area (hereinafter called the “Expansion Area”).

Extension And External Modifications Of Individual Units

I. General Requirements

1. Unit owner must be current in all condo fees, assessments, fines, etc. before any approvals will be given.

2. Adherence to State and Local building codes and regulations are the responsibility of individual owners.

3. Final plans are to be submitted to the Board for initial approvals on Appendix F: Variance Approval Form. In order to save the cost of an architect, the initial conceptual plans may be in the form of sketches, hand-written descriptions, etc. If the Board, in its judgment, determines that it needs to seek the expertise of its own consultant (architect, engineer, lawyer, etc.) to determine whether the application should be either approved or amended, upon prior notice to the Applicant, it shall do so and the Applicant shall be responsible for said consultants’ fees.

4. At the Board’s discretion, full detailed plans may be required by an architect and filed with the Board for final approval prior to commencement of construction. Upon completion, the Architect will certify to the Board that construction has been completed in accordance with the plans as presented to the Board.

a. The Board shall keep on permanent file a copy of all plans.

b. Resident shall be required to keep the plans on permanent file.

5. In all cases the unit owner will be held financially responsible for any and all debts, liabilities, and/or lawsuits incurred by the condominium association arising from and/or during the construction. Construction will be deemed completed when the project is finished and the area is completely cleared of all construction materials and debris and any repairs that may have been required per paragraph I.6 are completed. At the Board’s discretion, full insurance coverage may be required of the unit owner to protect the condominium association during construction. If required, proof of insurance must be submitted to the Board prior to construction. At the Board’s discretion, proof of bond or cash furnished may be required to guarantee the completion of the work.

6. The unit owner is solely responsible for all damage to any condominium property above and below the land surface including buildings, septic systems, soil, sod, landscaping, trees, pavement, etc. All repairs must be completed, at the unit owners’ expense as soon as possible, independent of any claim the unit owner may have against a third party. If required, the Board reserves the right to make any required repairs and bill the unit owner for said repairs subject to a 10% per annum interest rate.

II. Specific Building Regulations

1. A building permit (if needed), final plans, and prints and proof of contractor license and insurance must be submitted to the Board for final approval a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to start of any work.

3. Privacy Walls – Additional walls may be added to rear of unit at locations determined by Board. They are to be six (6) feet high and fabricated in similar style, materials, and color as existing walls.

4. Balconies – If existing balcony is determined by CW Maintenance to require repair or replacement in whole or part, any work done by unit owner or his contractor will be reimbursed for materials only. Removal of old materials is the unit owner’s responsibility.

5. Carports – Windows may be installed to the sides of the carports as long as both sides are done simultaneously. The installation must match existing in style materials construction and in color. Carports may be converted to garages in similar manner.

6. No expansion area improvements shall interfere with septic systems or other utility services. If said services can be moved in accordance with state and local building and zoning statutes, codes and regulations, than applicant may have said services moved at his/her expense.

7. Improvements cannot be higher than the roofline of an existing adjacent unit.

8. New and replacement exterior siding necessitated by the improvement must be made to match existing adjacent siding in material, size, color and texture.

10. Windows installed in improvements are to be of the same style and color as the existing windows.

11. Additional fireplaces may be included in improvements. Whenever possible, the chimneys to these new fireplaces should be made to run up existing chimney housings, however, in any event the chimneys must be encased in wooden chimney housings or in housing which match existing chimney housings. Cheshire building permits must be obtained.

12. No skylights may be installed on a roof which faces a roadway. One skylight may be installed on a rear roof.
