Each Owner and prospective Owner is advised to obtain these documents and carefully examine the ADGs in addition to this Declaration to determine its rights and obligations.

(c) Approved Plans. All Improvements shall be erected, constructed and placed on the Lots in accordance with the Approved Plans. NO DEVIATION OR VARIANCE FROM THE APPROVED PLANS SHALL BE PERMITTED WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE BY THE ARC IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH HEREIN.

The ARC may employ professional consultants or agents to assist it in discharging its duties and impose reasonable fees for the processing of submissions hereunder.
(d) Powers. The ARC shall have the express authority to perform fact-finding functions hereunder and shall have the power to construe and interpret any Covenant herein that may be vague, indefinite, uncertain or capable of more than one interpretation. The ARC's evaluation of the Approved Plans or any Variances is solely to determine compliance with the terms of this Declaration and the aesthetics of the proposed Improvements. The ARC expressly disclaims any responsibility to determine compliance with any Applicable Laws, building code or other standard for construction. The ARC shall not be responsible for reviewing any plans or specifications for structural safety, engineering soundness, or conformance with building or other codes, or other Applicable Laws, nor shall the ARC's approval be deemed a verification of the structural safety, engineering soundness or conformance of the Improvements to building or other codes, or other Applicable Laws.
(e) Variances. The ARC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to grant Variances relative to
g soundness or conformance of the Improvements to building or other codes, or other Applicable Laws.
(e) Variances. The ARC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to grant Variances relative to deviations from the Approved Plans and infractions of this Declaration and/or the ADGs. Upon submission of a written request for a Variance, the ARC may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, permit an Owner to construct, erect or install an Improvement which varies from the Approved Plans, covenants, restrictions or architectural standards provided in this Declaration or the ADGs. In any case, however, the Improvement with such Variance must, in the ARC’s sole discretion, blend effectively with the general architectural style of the Approved Plans and design of the Subdivision and must not detrimentally affect the integrity of the Subdivision. If plans submitted by any Owner for a Variance are not sufficiently complete or are otherwise inadequate, the ARC may reject them as being inadequate or may approve or disapprove them in part, conditionally, or unconditionally, and reject the balance, or may notify the Owner that additional documents or information is required. If the submitted plans are deemed to be inadequate or incomplete, the review period specified herein shall not commence until the ARC has received a complete set of the Variance plans. All requests for Variances shall be in writing, shall be specifically indicated to be a request for Variance, and shall indicate with specificity the particular standard sought to be varied and the nature of the Variance requested. All requests for Variances shall be deemed to be disapproved if the ARC has not expressly approved such request in writing within thirty
d sought to be varied and the nature of the Variance requested. All requests for Variances shall be deemed to be disapproved if the ARC has not expressly approved such request in writing within thirty (30) days of the submission of such request. No member of the ARC shall be liable to any Owner or any other person for any claims, causes of action or damages arising out of the grant of any Variance to an Owner. Each request for a Variance submitted hereunder shall be reviewed independently, and the grant of a Variance to any one Owner shall not constitute a waiver of the ARC’s right to deny a Variance to another Owner. The decisions of the ARC with respect to Variances shall be final and binding upon the Doc# 20190110033 06/11/2019 3:20PM Page 10 of 59 Lucy Adame-Clark, Bexar County Clerk applicant. All Variances, to be effective, must be in writing. Owners are advised that certain Variances may require the separate approval of the City or other applicable Governmental Authority.
(f) Construction. Upon approval of any Variance, an Approval Letter will be issued by the ARC, which shall set time constraints for both the commencement and completion of construction, which constraints shall be no more than ninety (90) days to commence construction and nine (9) months to complete construction after commencement. If construction fails to start before the designated commencement date or is not completed before the designated completion date, the approval of the Variance shall be deemed withdrawn. Approval of any Variance shall be effective for twelve (12) months after issuance of the Approval Letter by the ARC. If no construction has been commenced within such twelve (12) month period, the Variance approval shall expire, and plans for any Variance must be re-
after issuance of the Approval Letter by the ARC. If no construction has been commenced within such twelve (12) month period, the Variance approval shall expire, and plans for any Variance must be resubmitted to and approved by the ARC in accordance herewith prior to commencement of construction.
(g) Decisions Final. All decisions of the ARC shall be final and binding, and there shall be no revisions of any action of the ARC except by procedure for injunctive relief when such action is patently arbitrary and capricious. In the event of construction of Improvements or threatened construction of Improvements in violation of this Declaration, any Owner, the Association, or Declarant may seek to enjoin such construction or seek other relief against the Owner or builder responsible therefore, provided that Owner shall first be given written notice of the perceived violation and the opportunity to remedy the violation prior to the filing of suit as provided herein.
(h) Compliance Inspection. The ARC, its agents and/or professional consultants may, but are not required to, enter any Lot or the Improvements thereon to determine compliance with the requirements of this Declaration, the ADGs, the Approved Plans, or any other documents or approvals by the ARC. The ARC’s agent may inspect those items reviewed by the ARC, including inspection for conformance to the Approved Plans, Subdivision Site Plan, Grading Plan, Drainage Plan, building plan, landscaping plan, and exterior design, colors and materials. Neither the ARC, the Association nor their members or agents shall be subject to any liability for trespass, other tort or damages, or claims in connection with or arising from such entry. If the ARC determines that significant field discrepancies exist, the ARC may notify the
to any liability for trespass, other tort or damages, or claims in connection with or arising from such entry. If the ARC determines that significant field discrepancies exist, the ARC may notify the Owner of the nature and extent of the discrepancy. Written clarification must be supplied by Owner to the ARC within ten (10) working days of receipt of such notification. If clarification by the Owner is not forthcoming or is determined to be inadequate by the ARC, the ARC may, at its sole discretion, retain a private consultant for the purpose of obtaining an outside opinion. All reasonable professional fees and expenses associated with this procedure may be assessed by the ARC against and collected from the Owner.
(i) Limitation of Liability. Neither the Declarant, the Association, the ARC, nor any of the members, partners, officers, directors or agents thereof, shall be liable in damages or otherwise to anyone submitting plans and specifications for approval or to any Owner affected by this Declaration by reason of mistake of judgment, negligence or nonfeasance arising out of or in connection with the approval or disapproval or failure to approve or to disapprove any plans and specifications or requests for Variance or for any damage or injury to property or other damage or loss arising out of the acts or omissions of the ARC, Declarant or Association.

The Association will have the power to subordinate the aforesaid Assessment lien to any other lien. Such power will be entirely discretionary with the Board, and such subordination may be signed by an officer of the Association. The Association may, at its option and without prejudice to the priority or enforceability of the Assessment lien granted hereunder, prepare a written notice of Assessment lien setting forth the amount of the unpaid indebtedness, the name of the Owner of the Lot covered by such lien and a description of the Lot. Such notice may be signed by one of the officers of the Association and will be recorded in the Official Public Records of Bexar County, Texas.
Each Owner, by accepting a deed or ownership interest to a Lot subject to this Declaration will be
ficers of the Association and will be recorded in the Official Public Records of Bexar County, Texas.

Foreclosure of the Association’s Assessment lien, and all prerequisite procedures, must comply with at least the minimum requirements of Applicable Law for foreclosures in general and for foreclosures by property owners associations in particular. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Assessment lien may be foreclosed by judicial or nonjudicial methods.

Upon the written request of any Mortgagee, the Association will report to said Mortgagee any unpaid Assessments remaining unpaid for longer than thirty (30) days after the same are due. The lien hereunder will not be affected by the sale or transfer of any portion of any Lot, except, however, that in the event of foreclosure of any first-lien Mortgage securing indebtedness incurred to acquire such Lot, the lien for any Assessments that were due and payable before the foreclosure sale will be extinguished, provided that past-due Assessments will be paid out of the proceeds of such foreclosure sale only to the extent that funds are available after the satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by the first lien Mortgage. The provisions of the preceding sentence will not, however, relieve any subsequent Owner (including any Mortgagee or other purchaser at a foreclosure sale) from paying Assessments becoming due and payable after the foreclosure sale. Upon payment of all sums secured by a lien of the type described in this Section, the Association will upon the request of the Owner execute a release of lien relating to any lien for which written notice has been filed as provided above, except in circumstances in which the Association has already foreclosed such lien.

The Manager will have authority to send notices to alleged violators, informing them of their violations and asking them to comply with the rules and/or informing them of potential or probable fines or damage assessments. The Board may from time to time adopt a schedule of fines.
The payment of each fine and/or damage charge levied by the Board against the Owner of a Lot is, together with interest as provided in Section 6(h) herein and all costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees as provided herein, secured by the lien granted to the Association pursuant to Section 6(a)(2) of this Declaration.
