Budgets are ratified by owners; increases under 20% are deemed ratified unless 90% of owners vote to reject, while increases of 20% or more require a majority vote.

• Architectural review: Owners must obtain prior approval for exterior improvements, including landscaping changes on townhome lots. The declaration emphasizes controlling design, materials, and color harmony.
