Prior to the meeting, a member contacted us about a misspelling in Section 6 (ROOF SHINGLES), subsection iii), first bulleted item where the word pleasure had been used instead of pressure and subsequently corrected. Another correction was made to Section 7 (FENCES), subsection i) where the measurement was incorrectly listed as 1 x 4 instead of 1 x 6 and also corrected. A change was proposed at the meeting and adopted for for Section 27 (PARKING AND TOWING), subsection v) to read as follows:
27) PARKING AND TOWING:All of our membership will receive copies of the approved Rules & Regulations by mail sometime in August. The Board of Directors kindly asks that all residents please take the time to read the newly adopted Rules & Regulations and if you rent your unit, we also ask that you please ensure that you provide a copy to your tenants or direct them to the online copy found Here. These newly adopted Rules & Regulations should clarify some older Rules as well as expand on others. Should you have any questions regarding the newly adopted Rules & Regulations, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

All driveway surfaces must be professionally installed or extended by a licensed & insured contractor and obtain required Miami Dade County permits before commencement of work. Expanded driveway must be 3 feet away from neighbor’s property line. Driveways may only be extended with the same material they are currently made with. i.e., if the driveway is made of asphalt, it may only be extended using asphalt.

Asphalt driveways may not be painted and remain black in color. Resealing of asphalt driveways is a regularly required maintenance item.• Stamped Concrete Driveway: Unit owners are permitted to convert their asphalt driveway to stamped concrete but must receive an ACC approval prior to performing any work. Stamped concrete driveways may be 21 feet to accommodate two vehicles or 30 feet to accommodate three vehicles. Design and color options used for a stamped concrete driveway are subject to ACC approval. Color chosen for a stamped concrete driveway must blend with the color scheme of unit. Approved color used during the installation of stamped concrete driveway may not be changed unless a new ACC approval is obtained.
