CONDOMINIUM AND OTHER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS

13.1  In General.  The Association may determine, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or appropriate to have a portion of the Properties administered by a condominium or non-condominium homeowners association which is separate and apart from the Association hereunder.  An example of a situation where the Association may create a separate homeowners association to administer a portion of the Properties is where the homes which are made part of the Properties will require services which are quantitatively or qualitatively different than those which will be furnished by the Association hereunder with respect to the Common Area.  For purposes hereof, any separate declaration which is recorded against a portion of the Properties shall be referred to herein as a “Local Area Declaration” and the association which administers the real estate which is subject to the Local Area Declaration shall be referred to herein as a “Local Area Association”.

13.2  Relationship of the Association and the Local Area Associations.  It is intended that each Local Area Association shall operate independent of the Association hereunder.  Thus, to the extent that a Local Area Association is granted the power and authority to maintain Dwelling Units or portions of the Properties which serve Dwelling Units, the Association hereunder shall not be obligated to maintain such areas or furnish such services.  However, nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict or limit the right of the Association or the MC to approve Regulated Work as provided in Article XIII.
