Section 6. Assessments.
A. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments. Each
Owner (other than Supplemental Declarant, Single Family Developer and
Designated Builders) of any Residential Lot by acceptance of a deed thereto,
whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and
agree to pay to the Supplemental Association (i) Parcel General Assessments, (ii)
Architectural Control Assessments (to the extent levied); and (iii) Special
Assessments, such Assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter
provided (collectively the “Parcel Assessments”). The Parcel Assessments
described in the preceding sentence along with all other Assessments specified in
this Supplemental Declaration, are in addition to Assessments imposed under the
Declaration and unless and until otherwise directed in writing by the Master Board,
the Supplemental Association shall be responsible not only for collecting all
Assessments specified in this Supplemental Declaration, but also for collecting the
General Assessment.
If two (2) or more Residential Lots originally shown on a Plat are
consolidated as a single Residential Lot by virtue of partial vacation of a Plat, then
in such event, the consolidated Residential Lot shall continue to be treated as the
number of Residential Lot(s) that existed prior to such consolidation for purposes
of Assessment under this Section 6.
All Parcel Assessments, together with interest thereon and costs of
collection thereof, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon
the Residential Lot against which each Parcel Assessment is made until paid in full
and such lien may be foreclosed as mortgages are foreclosed in the State of Indiana.
The Supplemental Board is hereby fully authorized to record with the Recorder of
Hamilton County, Indiana, a written instrument evidencing the lien, against the
applicable Residential Lot, for any delinquent assessments. Each Parcel
Assessment, together with interest thereon and costs of collection thereof, shall also
be the personal obligation of the Person who was the Owner of the Residential Lot
at the time when the Parcel Assessment became due.
B. Parcel General Assessment.
1. Purpose of Assessment. The Parcel General Assessment levied
by the Supplemental Association shall be used exclusively (i) to promote
the health, safety, and welfare of the Owners of Residential Lots and
03/31/21
7
Occupants of Residential Units in the Parcel, (ii) for the improvement,
maintenance, repair, replacement and operation of the Limited Common
Area and (iii) to fulfill the Supplemental Association’s Obligations. From
time to time the Supplemental Board, in its discretion, may establish and
maintain a reserve fund for replacements by the allocation from the Parcel
General Assessment and the payment to such reserve fund of an amount
determined annually by the Supplemental Board in its discretion to be
sufficient to meet the cost of periodic significant capital repairs, renewals
and replacements of the Association Property.
2. Parcel General Assessment. The Parcel General Assessment is
distinct from the General Assessment under the Declaration and shall be
established annually by the Supplemental Board by a vote of a majority of
the Supplemental Board who are voting in person at a meeting of the
Supplemental Board duly called for this purpose. The Parcel General
Assessment shall be subject to any limitations set forth in the Declaration.
3. Change in Basis. The basis for the Parcel General Assessment
may be changed by a vote of a majority of the Supplemental Board who are
voting in person at a meeting of the Supplemental Board duly called for this
purpose, subject to any limitations set forth in the Declaration.
4. Method of Assessment. By a vote of a majority of the
Supplemental Board, the Supplemental Board shall, on the basis specified
above, fix the Parcel General Assessment for each assessment year of the
Supplemental Association at an amount sufficient to meet the Supplemental
Association’s Annual Budget. The Supplemental Board shall establish the
date(s) and frequencies the Parcel General Assessment shall become due,
and the manner in which it shall be paid.
5. Commencement of Parcel General Assessment. The Parcel
General Assessment for each Residential Lot subject to assessment shall
commence on the first day of the first month following both (i) the
recordation with the Recorder of Hamilton County, Indiana, of a secondary
Plat which includes such Residential Lot and (ii) the date on which the
Supplemental Declarant, Single Family Developer and/or a Designated
Builder conveys such Residential Lot to an Owner other than Supplemental
Declarant, Single Family Developer or a Designated Builder.
7. Allocation of Parcel General Assessment. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in this Supplemental Declaration, the Parcel General
Assessment shall be allocated, in the discretion of the Supplemental Board,
among all Owners (other than the Supplemental Declarant, Single Family
Developer and Designated Builders); provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplemental Declaration,
with respect to Residential Lots titled in the name of the Supplemental
Declarant and the Designated Builders, Single Family Developer in Single
Family Developer’s discretion, may elect on a year-to-year basis to pay
03/31/21

either (i) the Parcel General Assessment or (ii) the Supplemental
Association Annual Operating Deficit.
C. Real Estate Subsequently Annexed. As part or all of the Additional
Land is annexed to the Parcel and made subject to this Supplemental Declaration
per the terms of this Supplemental Declaration, the Supplemental Board in its
discretion shall determine the manner and amount in which such Additional Land
shall be assessed with the Parcel General Assessment. In determining the manner
in which such Additional Land shall be so assessed, the Supplemental Board may
consider any and all factors deemed relevant by the Supplemental Board, and the
extent to which the Owners and Occupants of Additional Land, once developed,
will use the Limited Common Areas and Private Streets.
D. Architectural Control Assessment. If any Owner or Person acting
for and on behalf of, or pursuant to the authorization or acquiescence of, an Owner
fails to comply with the Design Standards or Supplemental Building Guidelines or
other requirements for construction of improvements, landscaping, lighting,
signage and other Building Activities or maintenance of a Residential Lot
(including but not limited to the filing of a Residential Lot Development Plan) or
any other Restriction set forth in this Supplemental Declaration, then the
Supplemental Association may, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice to the Owners of such Residential Lot at the address for mailing of real
property tax statements, levy against the Residential Lot owned by such Owner an
Architectural Control Assessment in an amount determined by the Supplemental
Board which does not exceed $1,000.00 for each day that such failure continues
after written notice thereof is given by Supplemental Declarant or the Supplemental
Association to such Owner. Such Architectural Control Assessment shall
constitute a lien upon the Residential Lot of such Owner and may be enforced in
the manner provided in Section 6 (F) below. The levy of an Architectural Control
Assessments shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available
to Supplemental Declarant, the Corporation and/or the Supplemental Association
provided in the Declaration or this Supplemental Declaration, at law or in equity in
the case of the failure of an Owner to comply with the provisions of the Declaration,
a Supplemental Declaration, or the Supplemental Building Guidelines. The
foregoing shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, Supplemental Declarant’s and Single
Family Developer’s rights to compel compliance with the Design Standards or
Supplemental Building Guidelines and other requirements for construction of
improvements, landscaping, lighting, signage and other Building Activities or
maintenance of a Residential Lot (including but not limited to the filing of a
Residential Lot Development Plan) and any other Restriction set forth in this
Supplemental Declaration through injunctive relief.
E. Special Assessments. Subject to limitations on increases to the
Parcel General Assessment specified above, in the event the Parcel General
Assessment for any calendar year after the applicable date is inadequate to cover
the costs incurred by the Supplemental Association for the purposes set forth in
Section 6(B) hereof in such calendar year, the Supplemental Board in its discretion
may levy upon all Owners, other than Supplemental Declarant, Single Family
Developer and Designated Builders, as a Special Assessment an Assessment to cure
03/31/21
9
such inadequacy. Such Special Assessment shall be allocated among the Owners ,
other than Supplemental Declarant, Single Family Developer and Designated
Builders, in the same manner as the Parcel General Assessment is allocated among
Owners.
F. Capital Assessment. The Supplemental Board, in its discretion,
may levy in any calendar year a Capital Assessment applicable to that year and not
more than in the next four (4) succeeding calendar years for the purpose of
defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction repair, or replacement
of a capital improvement upon the Limited Common Area, including fixtures and
personal property relating thereto or any Limited Common Facilities, provided that
any such Capital Assessment shall have the assent of a majority of the votes of the
Owners whose Residential Lots are subject to Assessment with respect to the
capital improvement who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of Owners
duly called for this purpose. Any Capital Assessment pursuant to this Section 6(F)
shall be allocated ratably among Residential Lots subject thereto. Supplemental
Declarant, Single Family Developer and Designated Builders shall not be subject
to Capital Assessments.
G. Violation Assessment. In addition to all other assessments as be
authorized herein, the Supplemental Board may levy a Violation Assessment to an
owner, (i) for a violation against this Supplemental Declaration or (ii) for damages
if any portion of the Limited Common Area that the Supplemental Association is
obligated to maintain, repair and/or replace is damaged due to the willful or
negligent act or omission of such Owner or Owner’s guest or invite. In the event
of such damage, the Supplemental Board shall have the right to undertake the
necessary maintenance, repair or replacement. The choice between repair or
replacement is in the discretion of the Supplemental Board. Supplemental
Declarant, Single Family Developer and Designated Builders shall not be subject
to Violations Assessments.
H. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments; Remedies of the
Supplemental Association. Any Assessment not paid within thirty (30) days after
the due date may upon resolution of the Supplemental Board bear interest from the
due date at a percentage rate no greater than the current statutory maximum annual
interest rate, to be set by the Supplemental Board for each assessment year. The
Supplemental Association shall be entitled to institute in any court of competent
jurisdiction any lawful action to collect a delinquent Assessment plus any expenses
or costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the Supplemental Association in
collecting such Assessment. If the Supplemental Association has provided for
collection of any Assessment in installments, upon default in the payment of any
one or more installments, the Supplemental Association may accelerate payment
and declare the entire balance of said Assessment due and payable in full. No
Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the Assessments provided for
herein by nonuse of the Limited Common Area or by abandonment of its
Residential Lot.
I. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. To the extent specified
herein, the lien of the Parcel General Assessments provided for herein against a
03/31/21
10
Residential Lot shall be subordinate to the lien of any recorded first mortgage
covering such Residential Lot and to any valid tax or special assessment lien on
such Residential Lot in favor of any governmental taxing or assessing authority.
Sale or transfer of any Residential Lot shall not affect the lien of any Parcel General
Assessment. The sale or transfer of any Residential Lot pursuant to mortgage
foreclosure or any proceeding in lieu thereof shall, however, extinguish the lien of
such Parcel General Assessment as to payments which became due more than six
(6) months prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such
Residential Lot from liability for any Parcel General Assessments thereafter
becoming due or from the lien thereof.
J. Certificates. The Supplemental Association shall, upon demand by
an Owner, at any time, furnish a certificate in writing signed by an officer of the
Supplemental Association that the Parcel General Assessments by the
Supplemental Association on a Residential Lot have been paid or that certain of
such Parcel General Assessments remain unpaid, as the case may be.
K. Supplemental Association’s Annual Budget. By a majority vote of
the Supplemental Board, the Supplemental Board shall adopt an annual budget for
the subsequent fiscal year, which shall provide for allocation of expenses in such a
manner that the obligations imposed on the Supplemental Association by the
Declaration and this Supplemental Declaration will be met.

Architectural Control Committee shall be appointed, removed and replaced by
Single Family Developer in its discretion. After the Parcel Applicable Date, the
members of the Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee shall
be appointed, removed and replaced by the Supplemental Board in its discretion.
B. Purpose. The Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee shall regulate the external design, appearance, use, size, location and
maintenance of the Parcel and of all improvements thereon in such manner as to
preserve and enhance values, to maintain a harmonious relationship among
Residential Units, improvements and the natural vegetation and topography in
compliance with the Design Standards and with the Supplemental Building

for the Parcel. The Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee
shall not deviate from the Design Standards or the Supplemental Building
Guidelines without the prior approval of Supplemental Declarant and Single Family

Supplemental Declaration, no improvements, Structures, alterations, repairs,
change of colors, excavations, changes in grade, planting, installation or
modification of signage, advertising or other work that in any way alters any

or improved state existing on the date such Residential Lot was first conveyed in
fee by Supplemental Declarant to Single Family Developer or another Owner
including, but not limited to, (i) construction, erection or alteration of any
Residential Unit, Structure, other building, fixture, equipment, fence, wall, parking
area, or other Structure on a Residential Lot or (ii) any plantings, other landscaping
or exterior lighting on a Residential Lot, or (iii) the installation or alteration of any
signage on any Residential Lot or Residential Unit, shall be made or done without
the prior approval of the Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee of a Residential Lot Development Plan therefore that complies in all
respects with the Design Standards or the Supplemental Building Guidelines. In no
event shall the Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee
approve a Residential Lot Development Plan that deviates from the Design
Standards or the Supplemental Building Guidelines without the prior written
approval of Supplemental Declarant. Prior to commencement by any Owner, a
Residential Lot Development Plan with respect thereto shall be submitted to the
Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee, and no Building
Activity shall be commenced or continued by any Person without the prior written
approval of the Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee of a
Residential Lot Development Plan relating to such Building Activity. Such
approval shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all approvals, consents, permits
and/or variances required by law from governmental authorities having jurisdiction
over the Parcel, and no Owner shall undertake any Building Activity within the
Parcel unless all legal requirements have been satisfied. Approval by the
Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee of a Residential Lot
Development Plan shall not be deemed to imply compliance with approvals,
consents, permits and/or variances required by law from governmental authorities
having jurisdiction over the Parcel. Each Owner shall complete all improvements
to a Residential Lot strictly in accordance with the Residential Lot Development
Plan approved by the Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee. As used in this Section 7 (C), “plantings” does not include flowers,
bushes, shrubs or other plants having a height of less than eighteen (18) inches.
D. Procedures. In the event the Development Standards and
Architectural Control Committee fails to approve, modify or disapprove in writing
a Residential Lot Development Plan within sixty (60) days after notice of such plan
has been duly filed with the Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee in accordance with procedures established by Supplemental Declarant,
the Residential Lot Development Plan shall be deemed denied. A decision of the
Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee (including a denial
resulting from the failure of such Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee to act on the plan within the specified period) may be appealed to the
Supplemental Board which may reverse or modify such decision (including
approving a Residential Lot Development Plan deemed denied by the failure of the
Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee to act on such plan
03/31/21
12
within the specified period) by a majority vote of the Supplemental Board.
Notwithstanding anything in this Supplemental Declaration to the contrary, in no
event shall the Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee
deviate from the Design Standards and the Supplemental Building Guidelines
without the prior written approval of Supplemental Declarant. The Development
Standards and Architectural Control Committee shall make all Residential Lot
Improvement Plans approved by it available to Supplemental Declarant upon
request.
E. Building Requirements and Guidelines. Improvements on
Residential Lots in the Parcel shall at all times comply with the Design Standards
and any Supplemental Building Guidelines adopted by the Supplemental Declarant
and Single Family Developer. The Development Standards and Architectural
Control Committee shall apply the Design Standards and any Supplemental
Building Guidelines and shall not deviate from the Design Standards or
Supplemental Building Guidelines without the prior written consent of
Supplemental Declarant. The Supplemental Board shall not have the power to
terminate or modify the Design Standards or Supplemental Building Guidelines
without the prior written approval of the Supplemental Declarant. The
Supplemental Building Guidelines may establish different standards and
requirements for various Residential Lots in the Parcel based on the size, location
and use of such Residential Lots and the improvements to be located thereon.
F. Application of Guidelines and Standards. The Development
Standards and Architectural Control Committee shall apply the Design Standards
and the Supplemental Building Guidelines in a fair, uniform and reasonable manner
consistent in the design review process. In disapproving any Residential Lot
Development Plan, the Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee shall furnish the applicant with specific reasons for such disapproval
and may suggest modifications to such plan which would render the plan acceptable
to the Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee if resubmitted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Development Standards and Architectural
Control Committee shall have the right to disapprove any signage which in its
absolute unfettered discretion it deems inappropriate and such disapproval may be
based mostly on aesthetic considerations.
G. Design Consultants. The Development Standards and Architectural
Control Committee may utilize the services of architects, engineers and other
Persons possessing design expertise and experience in evaluating Residential Lot
Development Plans. No presumption of any conflict of interest or impropriety shall
be drawn or assumed by virtue of the fact that any of such consultants are affiliated
with Supplemental Declarant or a Designated Builder or may, from time to time,
represent Persons filing Residential Lot Development Plans with the Development
Standards and Architectural Control Committee.
H. Violations of Supplemental Declaration. The Development
Standards and Architectural Control Committee shall not be required to consider
any Residential Lot Development Plan submitted by an Owner who is, at the time
of submission of such Residential Lot Development Plan, in violation of the
03/31/21
13
requirements of the Declaration, this Supplemental Declaration and/or the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, unless such Owner submits to the
Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee with such
Residential Lot Development Plan an irrevocable agreement and undertaking (with
such surety as the Supplemental Board may reasonably require) to remo ve from the
Owner’s Residential Lot any improvements, landscaping, exterior lighting or
signage constructed and/or installed prior to the submission of a Residential Lot
Development Plan (or constructed and/or installed in violation of a previously
approved Residential Lot Development Plan) to the extent any such previously
constructed and/or installed improvement, landscaping, exterior lighting or signage
is not subsequently approved by the Development Standards and Architectural
Control Committee. The Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee shall have the power to recommend to the Supplemental Board that the
Supplemental Association assess an Architectural Control Assessment against any
owner who fails to comply with the requirements of this Supplemental Declaration,
the Declaration, or the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Under no circumstance
shall any action or inaction of the Development Standards and Architectural
Control Committee be deemed to be unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious if, at the
time of such decision, the Person having submitted a Residential Lot Development
Plan for approval by the Development Standards and Architectural Control
Committee has violated this Supplemental Declaration, the Declaration, or the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and such violation remains uncured.
I. Exercise of Discretion. Every Owner by the purchase of a
Residential Lot shall be conclusively presumed to have consented to the exercise
of discretion by the Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee.
In any judicial proceeding challenging a determination by the Development
Standards and Architectural Control Committee and in any action initiated to
enforce this Supplemental Declaration to which an abuse of discretion by the
Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee is raised as a
defense, abuse of discretion may be established only if a reasonable Person,
weighing the evidence and drawing all inferences in favor of the Development
Standards and Architectural Control Committee, could only conclude that such
determination constituted an abuse of discretion.
J. Liability of Development Standards and Architectural Control

Architectural Control Committee does not make, and shall not be deemed by virtue
of any action of approval or disapproval taken by it to have made, any
representation or warranty as to (i) the suitability or advisability of the design, the
engineering, the method of construction involved, or the materials to be used or (ii)
compliance with any applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations, including, without

completed strictly in accordance with the Design Standards and the Supplemental
Building Guidelines and the Residential Lot Development Plan approved by the
Development Standards and Architectural Control Committee. Unless a delay is

Architectural Control Committee pursuant to this Supplemental Declaration.
Supplemental Declarant shall reflect such Project Agreement Default and assumption in a

under this Supplemental Declaration. Supplemental Declarant reserves the right to amend
this Supplemental Declaration for the purposes of removing any portion of the Parcel,
which has not yet been improved with Residential Units, from the coverage of this
Supplemental Declaration following a Project Agreement Default. Such amendment shall
not require the consent of any Person other than the Owner(s) of the property to be

be entitled to assess the Maintenance Costs thereof as a Violation Assessment
against the Residential Lot. If Supplemental Declarant performs such maintenance,
Supplemental Declarant shall have a continuing lien upon the applicable

fails to perform such maintenance, the Supplemental Association or Supplemental
Declarant may undertake such maintenance. If the Supplemental Association
performs such maintenance, it shall be entitled to assess the Maintenance Costs
thereof as a Violation Assessment against the Residential Lot. If Supplemental
Declarant performs such maintenance, Supplemental Declarant shall have a
continuing lien upon the applicable Residential Lot until such time as Supplemental
Declarant has been reimbursed in full the cost of the maintenance. In addition to
the foregoing, the Supplemental Association and Supplemental Declarant may each
seek injunctive relief to compel compliance with this Restriction.

then the Owner therefore may elect to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the portion
thereof so damaged or destroyed as nearly as possible to its quality, utility, value,
condition and character immediately prior to such Casualty. Such restoration shall
be pursued promptly and with diligence and shall conform to the Residential Lot
Development Plan originally approved for such building except to the extent that
deviations therefrom have been approved in writing by the Development Standards
and Architectural Control Committee. In the event the Owner elects not to repair
or restore the building, it shall, as soon as practical after such Casualty, remove all
debris from the Residential Lot and take such actions as are necessary to make the
undamaged portion thereof into a functional economic unit insofar as it is possible
under the circumstances. Areas of the Residential Lot previously occupied by a
building damaged by Casualty and not restored shall be promptly landscaped in

contests the validity, applicability or the amount thereof in good faith and so long as it does
not allow the affected Residential Lot to be forfeited to the imposer of such Taxes as a
result of its nonpayment. If an Owner fails to comply with this Section 21, the
Supplemental Declarant or the Supplemental Association may pay the Taxes in question
and, if it does, shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement from (but shall not be obligated

either of them with respect to the use, occupancy, maintenance or alteration of such
Owner’s or Occupant’s Residential Lot and/or the Structure thereon. Each Owner

their respective agents shall have the right, but not the duty, upon advance
notice (except in the case of emergency when no notice shall be required)

thereon at any time to determine whether or the extent to which there has
been a violation of Environmental Laws or whether there are Hazardous
Substances on, under or about the Residential Lot or any Structure thereon.

Assessment.

Declarant, the Corporation, Supplemental Declarant, the Supplemental
Association, Single Family Developer and their respective agents or
employees from any and all claims, loss, liability, costs, expenses or
damage, including attorney’s fees and costs of remediation, incurred by any
