b. To conform the Bylaws to changes in controlling law applicable to any topic addressed in these Bylaws.

c. To change the name of the Association.

During the Development & Declarant Control Periods, Appendix C of the Declaration has priority over these Bylaws.

13.1.3. Amendments by Members. All other amendments of these Bylaws must be approved by the members according to the terms of this Article.

13.2. AMENDMENTS BY MEMBERS.

13.2.1. Proposal. The Association will provide or make available to an owner of each lot a description, if not exact wording, of any proposed amendment. The proposed amendment, description of the proposed amendment, or instructions for obtaining a copy of the proposed amendment at no cost will be included in the notice of any annual or special meeting of the Association at which the proposed amendment is to be considered.

In other words, if a quorum is present (in person or by proxy) at an Association meeting, the owners of a majority of the lots represented at the meeting (in person or by proxy) -- even if less than a majority of the total lots -- may approve an amendment to these Bylaws. This Section, however, may not be amended without the approval of owners representing at least a majority of the total lots in the Property.

13.3. EFFECTIVE. To be effective, an amendment must be in the form of a written instrument (1) referencing the name of the Property, the name of the Association, and the recording data of these Bylaws and any amendments hereto; (2) signed and acknowledged by at least one officer of the Association, certifying the requisite authority and/or approvals; and (3) recorded in the Real Property Records of Dallas County, Texas.

ARTICLE 14 GENERAL PROVISIONS 14.1. DRAFTER'S INTENT. Because Declarant intends these Bylaws to serve the Association for many years beyond the initial development, construction, and marketing of the Property, Declarant During the Development & Declarant Control Periods, Appendix € of the Declaration has priority over these Bylaws.

SHERIDAN PARC OWNERS ASSOCIATION Page 23 purposefully did not draft these Bylaws from its own perspective. Instead, as a courtesy to future users of these Bylaws, Declarant compiled most of the Declarant-related provisions in Appendix C of the Declaration. Although Declarant is initially an owner and a member of the Association, Declarant is intentionally exempt from a number of obligations that apply to other owners, and has a number of rights that other owners do not have. These Bylaws are to be construed liberally to give effect to the drafter's intent of favorable and preferential treatment of Declarant.

DRAFTER’S DICTUM Users of this document should periodically review statutes and court rulings that may modify or nullify provisions of this document or its enforcement, or may create rights or duties not anticipated by this document.

14.2. CONFLICTING PROVISIONS. If any provision of these Bylaws conflicts with any provision of the applicable laws of the State of Texas, the conflicting Bylaws provision is null and void, but all other provisions of these Bylaws remains in full force and effect. If a provision of the Association's certificate of formation or Articles of Association conflicts with these Bylaws, the certificate of formation or Articles controls. In the case of any conflict between the Declaration and these Bylaws, the Declaration controls.

14.3. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of these Bylaws will be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid. Invalidation of any provision of these Bylaws, by judgment or court order, does not affect any other provision which remains in full force and effect.

rpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid. Invalidation of any provision of these Bylaws, by judgment or court order, does not affect any other provision which remains in full force and effect.

14.4. CONSTRUCTION. The effect of a general statement is not limited by the enumerations of specific matters similar to the general. The captions of articles and sections are inserted only for convenience and are in no way to be construed as defining or modifying the text to which they refer.

The singular is construed to mean the plural, when applicable, and the use of masculine or neuter pronouns includes the feminine.

14.5, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS. These Bylaws are drafted in an era of expanding and distracting modes of communication - written, voice, visual, and electronic - with emerging security and screening technologies that impede some transmissions without the sender's knowledge. In such an era, the burden may be on the sender (1) to bring important pieces of information to the attention of the recipient in a manner that helps the recipient recognize the importance and purpose of the communication, and (2) to confirm that the message was received and its importance recognized. For example, a change of address that is buried in the fifth paragraph of an owner's letter about a potpourri of issues may be overlooked by the Association. Similarly, a notice of assessment increase that is buried in a chatty Association newsletter or website may be overiooked by the owner. Aithough there is no way to guaranty what will be noticed by another person, each sender should try to communicate effectively. If the Association specifies a mode of communications for a certain purpose, it benefits the - owner to use the specified mode. for. the intended purpose. ; .

er should try to communicate effectively. If the Association specifies a mode of communications for a certain purpose, it benefits the - owner to use the specified mode. for. the intended purpose. ; .

14.6. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Association will be set by resolution of the board, and is subject to change from time to time as the board determines. In the absence of a resolution by the board, the fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30 of each year.

14.7. WAIVER. No restriction, condition, obligation, or covenant contained in these Bylaws may be deemed to have been abrogated or waived by reason of failure to enforce the same, irrespective of the number of violations or breaches thereof which may occur.

During the Development & Declarant Control Periods, Appendix C of the Declaration has priority over these Bylaws.

Sheridan Parc is a planned community, the development and marketing of which may extend over several years, even decades. Declarant has reserved for itself the right to control the Association until Sheridan Parc is fully phased, substantially complete, and close to being "sold out" and closed to homebuyers.

2. Because the Declarant Control Period is a short span of time in the potentially perpetual life of the Property and the Association, Declarant intentionally adopted Governing Documents designed

2. Because the Declarant Control Period is a short span of time in the potentially perpetual life of the Property and the Association, Declarant intentionally adopted Governing Documents designed for the long era in which homeowners will control the Association, instead of tailoring the Governing Documents for the relatively brief Declarant Control Period.

3. Written for a homeowner-controlled Association, some provisions in these Bylaws are inapplicable or inappropriate for the Declarant Control Period. For example, Association directors appointed by Declarant are likely to be Declarant's employees or officers, who make decisions for the Association in the ordinary course of their daily work - without formality of called meetings, notices, and minutes.

4. Because neither State law nor the Governing Documents require incorporation of the Association, Declarant may or may not incorporate the Association during the Declarant Control Period.

PURCHASER'S COVENANTS 1. Purchaser has read and understands the significance of this Exhibit to the Bylaws, and Appendix C of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions for Sheridan Parc, both of which contain important information about how the Association will be governed during the Declarant Control Period.

2. Purchaser understands that a provision in Appendix C of the Declaration controls over a provision in these Bylaws that addresses the same topic.

3. Purchaser understands that the Association may not be incorporated, and that it may operate as a unincorporated nonprofit association pursuant to the Texas Uniform Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act of the Business Organizations Code.

4. Purchaser understands that owners will not have a voice in the operation and governance of the

(B) Governmental bodies that do not have in-house programming capabilities shall comply with requests in accordance with §552.231 of the Texas Government Code.

Pages 69–70

es shall be charged at this hourly rate.

(B) Governmental bodies that do not have in-house programming capabilities shall comply with requests in accordance with §552.231 of the Texas Government Code.

(C) If the charge for providing a copy of public information includes costs of labor, a governmental body shall comply with the requirements of §552.261(b) of the Texas Government Code.

3. Labor charge for locating, compiling, manipulating data, and reproducing public information.

(A) The charge for labor costs incurred in processing a request for public information is $15 an hour. The labor charge includes the actual time to locate, compile, manipulate data, and reproduce the requested information.

(B) A labor charge shall not be billed in connection with complying with requests that are for 50 or fewer pages of paper records, unless the documents to be copied are located in: (i) Two or more separate buildings that are not physically connected with each other; or (ii) A remote storage facility.

Records Production and Copying Policy (C) A labor charge shall not be recovered for any time spent by an attorney, legal assistant, or any other person who reviews the requested information: (i) To determine whether the governmental body will raise any exceptions to disclosure of the requested information under the Texas Government Code, Subchapter C, Chapter 552; or (ii) To research or prepare a request for a ruling by the attorney general's office pursuant to $552.301 of the Texas Government Code.

Pages 70–71

ry exception of the Act is mixed with public information in the same page, a labor charge may be recovered for time spent to redact, blackout, or otherwise obscure confidential information in order to release the public information. A labor charge shall not be made for redacting confidential information for requests of 50 or fewer pages, unless the request also qualifies for a labor charge pursuant to Texas Government Code, §552.261(a)(1) or (2).

(E) If the charge for providing a copy of public information includes costs of labor, a governmental body shall comply with the requirements of Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, §552.261(b).

(F) For purposes of paragraph (2)(A) of this subsection, two buildings connected by a covered or open sidewalk, an elevated or underground passageway, or a similar facility, are not considered to be separate buildings.

4. Overhead charge.

(A) Whenever any labor charge is applicable to a request, a governmental body may include in the charges direct and indirect costs, in addition to the specific labor charge. This overhead charge would cover such costs as depreciation of capital assets, rent, maintenance and repair, utilities, and administrative overhead. Ifa governmental body chooses to recover such costs, a charge shall be made in accordance with the methodology described in paragraph(3) of this subsection. Although an exact calculation of costs will vary, the use of a standard charge will avoid complication in calculating such costs and will provide uniformity for charges made statewide.

Records Production and Copying Policy (B) An overhead charge shall not be made for requests for copies of 50 or fewer pages of standard paper records unless the request also qualifies for a labor charge pursuant to Texas Government

Policy (B) An overhead charge shall not be made for requests for copies of 50 or fewer pages of standard paper records unless the request also qualifies for a labor charge pursuant to Texas Government Code, §552.261(a)(1) or (2).

(C) The overhead charge shall be computed at 20% of the charge made to cover any labor costs associated with a particular request.

Example: if one hour of labor is used for a particular request, the formula would be as follows: Labor charge for locating, compiling, and reproducing, $15.00 x .20 = $3.00; or Programming labor charge, $28.50 x .20 = $5.70. Ifa request requires one hour of labor charge for locating, compiling, and reproducing information ($15.00 per hour); and one hour of programming labor charge($28.50 per hour), the combined 5. Microfiche and microfilm charge.

(A) Ifa governmental body already has information that exists on microfiche or microfilm and has copies available for sale or distribution, the charge for a copy must not exceed the cost of its reproduction. If no copies of the requested microfiche or microfilm are available and the information on the microfiche or microfilm can be released in its entirety, the governmental body should make a copy of the microfiche or microfilm. The charge for a copy shall not exceed the cost of its reproduction. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission has the capacity to reproduce microfiche and microfilm for governmental bodies. Governmental bodies that do not have in-house capability to reproduce microfiche or microfilm are encouraged to contact the Texas State Library before having the reproduction made commercially.

(B) If only a master copy of information in microfilm is

Page 72

bility to reproduce microfiche or microfilm are encouraged to contact the Texas State Library before having the reproduction made commercially.

(B) If only a master copy of information in microfilm is maintained, the charge is $.10 per page for standard size paper copies, plus any applicable labor and overhead charge for more than 50 copies.

6. Remote document retrieval charge.

(A) Due to limited on-site capacity of storage documents, it is frequently necessary to store information that is not in current use in remote storage locations. Every effort should be made by governmental bodies to store current records on-site. State agencies are encouraged to store inactive or non-current records with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. To the extent that the retrieval of documents results in a charge to comply Records Production and Copying Policy with a request, it is permissible to recover costs of such services for requests that qualify for labor charges under current law.

(B) If a governmental body has a contract with a commercial records storage company, whereby the private company charges a fee to locate, retrieve, deliver, and return to storage the needed record(s), no additional labor charge shall be factored in for time spent locating documents at the storage location by the private company's personnel. If after delivery to the governmental body, the boxes must still be searched for records that are responsive to the request, a labor charge is allowed according to subsection (da) (1) of this section.

7. Computer resource charge.

(A) The computer resource charge is a utilization charge for computers based on the amortized cost of acquisition, lease, operation, and maintenance of computer resources, which might

resource charge.

(A) The computer resource charge is a utilization charge for computers based on the amortized cost of acquisition, lease, operation, and maintenance of computer resources, which might include, but is not limited to, some or all of the following: central processing units (CPUs), servers, disk drives, local area networks (LANs), printers, tape drives, other peripheral devices, communications devices, software, and system utilities.

(B) These computer resource charges are not intended to substitute for cost recovery methodologies or charges made for purposes other than responding to public information requests.

(C) The charges in this subsection are averages based on a survey of governmental bodies with a broad range of computer capabilities. Each governmental body using this cost recovery charge shall determine which category(ies) of computer system(s) used to fulfill the public information request most closely fits its existing system(s), and set its charge accordingly. Type of System-Rate: mainframe--$10 per CPU minute; Midsize--$1.50 per CPU minute; Client/Server--$2.20 per clock hour; PC or LAN--$1.00 per clock hour.

(D) The charge made to recover the computer utilization cost is the actual time the computer takes to execute a particular program times the applicable rate. The CPU charge is not meant to apply to programming or printing time; rather it is solely to recover costs associated with the actual time required by the computer to execute a program. This time, called CPU time, can be read directly from the CPU clock, and most frequently will be a matter of seconds. If programming is required to comply with a particular Records Production and Copying Policy request, the appropriate charge that may be recovered for

and most frequently will be a matter of seconds. If programming is required to comply with a particular Records Production and Copying Policy request, the appropriate charge that may be recovered for programming time is set forth in subsection (d) of this section. No charge should be made for computer print-out time. Example: If a mainframe computer is used, and the processing time is 20 seconds, the charges would be as follows: $10/ 3 = $3.33; (E) A governmental body that does not have in-house computer capabilities shall comply with requests in accordance with the $552.231 of the Texas Government Code.

8. Miscellaneous supplies. The actual cost of miscellaneous supplies, such as labels, boxes, and other supplies used to produce the requested information, may be added to the total charge for public information.

9. Postal and shipping charges. Governmental bodies may add any related postal or shipping expenses which are necessary to transmit the reproduced information to the requesting party.

10. Sales tax. Pursuant to Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts' rules sales tax shall not be added on charges for public information (34 TAC, Part 1, Chapter 3, Subchapter O, §3.341 and $3.342).

11. Miscellaneous charges: A governmental body that accepts payment by credit card for copies of public information and that is charged a "transaction fee" by the credit card company may recover that fee.

B. Any requesting owner must provide advance payment of the costs of compilation, production, and reproduction for the requested information, as estimated by the Association. If the estimated costs are lesser or greater than the actual costs, the Association shall submit a final invoice to the owner on or before the 30" business

If the estimated costs are lesser or greater than the actual costs, the Association shall submit a final invoice to the owner on or before the 30" business day after the date the information is delivered. If the final invoice includes additional amounts due from the owner, the additional amounts, if not reimbursed to the Association before the 30" business day after the date the invoice is sent to the owner, may be added to the owner’s account as an assessment.

When is a pond not a pond?

Water detention areas, by design, are sometimes water-filled and mostly bone-dry.

2.6. WATER DETENTION AREA. The common areas of the Property include a water detention area required by the City for the management of surface water runoff. A water detention area is designed to detain surface water for short periods during heavy rainfalls and to be a "dry pond" the rest of the time. It is not engineered to be a lake or to hold water on a regular basis. It can be challenging to permanently landscape a terrain that purposefully rotates between being a water pond and a dry pond. The water detention area must be maintained by the Association, and may require periodic de-

ing to permanently landscape a terrain that purposefully rotates between being a water pond and a dry pond. The water detention area must be maintained by the Association, and may require periodic desilting to remove silt that accumulates during wet periods. Without the City's approval, a water detention area may not be used for any purpose that interferes with its role in surface water management. This explanation is for persons who wonder why those areas are not more extensively improved, landscaped, or used.

2.7. STREETS WITHIN PROPERTY. Because streets and cul de sacs within the Property are capable of being converted from publicly dedicated to privately owned, and vice versa, this Section addresses both conditions. Private streets, if any, are part of the common area which is governed by the Association. Public streets are part of the common area only to the extent a governmental body, such as the or county, authorizes or delegates to the Association.

3.4. OWNER'S INGRESS/EGRESS EASEMENT. Every owner is granted a perpetual easement over the Property's streets, as may be reasonably required, for vehicular ingress to and egress from his lot.

3.5. OWNER'S RIGHT TO BUILD. That a house lot remains vacant and unimproved for a period of years, even decades, does not diminish the right of the lot owner to construct improvements on the lot. Nor does a vacant lot enlarge the rights of owners of neighboring lots, who may have become so accustomed to the open space that they expect it to remain unimproved forever.

3.6. RIGHTS OF CITY. The City, including its agents and employees, has the right of immediate access to the common areas at all times if necessary for the welfare or protection of the public, to enforce City ordinances, or for the preservation of public property.

To fund the City's cost of maintaining the common areas, the City may levy an assessment against every lot in the same manner as if the Association levied a special assessment against the lots. The rights of the City under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies provided by law. The Association hereby indemnifies the City against expenses, including attorney's fees, reasonably incurred by or imposed on the City in connection with an action, suit, or proceeding to which the City is a party by reason of having exercised its rights under this Section or under Ordinance No. 1576-04, adopted by the City of DeSoto on March 16, 2004.

3.10. NOTICE OF LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. The development of the Property occurs during a period when many local governments are trying to be absolved of liability for flood damage to private property. Asa condition of plat approval, a governmental entity may require a plat note that not only disavows the entity's liability for flood damage, but affirmatively assigns the liability to the Association.

Declarant does not intend or desire to impose such absolute liability on the nonprofit association of lot owners. Notwithstanding plat notes or public codes or ordinances now in existence or hereafter created, the Association cannot and should not be liable for acts of God or for property damage that is not the result of the Association's negligence or wilful misconduct.

The Declarant may install, construct, or authorize certain improvements on common areas in connection with the initial development of the Property, and the cost thereof is not a common — expense of the Association. Thereafter, all costs attributable to common areas, including maintenance, property taxes, insurance, and enhancements, are automatically the responsibility of the Association, regardless of the nature of title to the common areas, unless this Declaration elsewhere provides for a different allocation for a specific common area.

6.1. VARIANCE. The use of the Property is subject to the restrictions contained in this Article, and subject to rules adopted pursuant to this Article. The board or the Architectural Reviewer, as the case may be, may grant a variance or waiver of a restriction or rule on a case-by-case basis when unique circumstances dictate, and may limit or condition its grant. To be effective, a variance must be in writing. The grant of a variance does not effect a waiver or estoppel of the Association's right to deny a variance in other circumstances. Approval of a variance or waiver may not be deemed, implied, or presumed under any circumstance.

6.2. CONSTRUCTION RESTRICTIONS. Without the Architectural Reviewer's prior written approval for a variance, improvements constructed on every lot must have the characteristics described in Appendix B, which may be treated as the minimum requirements for improving and using a lot.

Documents as a whole do not try to anticipate and address every creative interpretation of the restrictions. For example, an owner's right to have a sign advertising the home for sale or lease is not the right to mount the sign on the chimney and illuminate it with pulsating neon lights. The right of access to a home is not the right to land helicopters on the lot. The rights granted by this Article and the Documents are at all times subject to the board's determination that a particular interpretation and exercise of a right is significantly inappropriate, unattractive, or otherwise unsuitable for the neighborhood, and thus constitutes a violation of the Documents. In other words, the exercise of a right or restriction must comply with the spirit of the restriction as well as with the letter of the restriction.

Any co-owner of a lot may vote by ballot or proxy, and may register protest to the casting of a vote by ballot or proxy by the other co-owners.
