All sidewalks are intended for pedestrian traffic, shall be kept in good condition, and accessible

owners shall be required to be a member of the POA. Dues assessments, required for the
maintenance of the open space areas and other POA activities, shall be mandatory.
The POA shall be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the open space within the
development. The expenses required to maintain the common areas at a quality level shall be
estimated annually by the POA Board, and dues shall be determined and assessed on each
property owner in an equitable fashion at such a rate as necessary to maintain such a level of
quality. Authority to enforce these requirements, and to place a lien on the property if such
dues are not paid, shall be in the form of written Deed Restrictions and Covenants, agreed to by

take corrective action, including the provision of extended maintenance. The costs of such
maintenance may be charged to the POA or individual property owners that make up the POA,
and may include administrative costs and penalties which shall become a lien on all property in
the development.
