What Copperlinesquare's governing documents say

This is a master declaration for a large, master-planned community called Southern Village, with a master association and multiple sub-associations. It governs all lots and owners within the community, including both residential and commercial areas. The document is a partial excerpt, focusing on architectural review, maintenance duties, membership, and assessments.

• Architectural review: Any construction, excavation, or changes in grade on a lot require prior written approval from the Architectural Review Board (ARB), which can refuse for any reason including aesthetics. If the ARB doesn't act within 30 days of receiving complete plans, approval is deemed given. The ARB can inspect work and require restoration or demolition of unapproved improvements, charging costs as a special assessment.
• Exterior maintenance: Owners are responsible for maintaining their own unit and improvements, including plumbing, water heaters, HVAC, and lighting. If an owner fails to keep things neat and in repair, the association can, after 10 days' written notice, enter and make repairs, adding the cost plus a 20% service charge to the owner's assessments.
• Membership & governance: Every lot owner automatically belongs to the sub-association for their phase and to the master association. Until December 31, 2014, or until 75% of lots are conveyed, the declarant can appoint two-thirds of the boards of directors.
• Assessments: Annual assessments are set by the board, with a maximum increase of 15% per year without member approval; a two-thirds vote can raise them without limit. Special assessments for capital repairs or unexpected costs require a two-thirds vote of members. Individual special assessments can be levied for damage caused by an owner's negligence or for fines and enforcement costs.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt of a master declaration. It does not include the full rules on use restrictions, leasing, pets, or other day-to-day regulations, which may be in supplemental declarations or sub-association rules.
