BOARD RESOLUTION: Windchimes


Village Two Condominiums Homeowners’ Association
Board Resolution Regarding CC&R Article XVII, Section 17 Use and Occupancy Restrictions
Windbells, Windchimes & Similar Devices

To:         All Village Two Homeowners
Date:     August 1, 2012
From:    Village Two Board of Directors

Rationale:   Contained within the Declaration of Horizontal Property Regime and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Village Two, Article XVII, Section 17, at the bottom of page 37, is the following statement.  “No windbells, windchimes, or similar devices shall be permitted on the property.”  It has come to the board’s attention that there are numerous “windbells, windchimes, and similar devices hanging from patios and  balconies, many of which have been hanging for several years.  Furthermore, there have been no recorded homeowner complaints relating to these “windbells, windchimes and similar devices.”  Finally, the last sentence of Article XVII, Section 17 states the following: “The Association may modify or waive the foregoing restrictions or otherwise restrict and regulate the use and occupancy of the Property and the Units by reasonable rules and regulations of general application adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time.“  Therefore the Board is modifying  Article XVII, Section 17, by adopting the following RESOLUTION.
1.       The Board believes that “windbells, windchimes, and similar devices” are not a problem at Village Two.
2.       The Board believes that the number of “windbells, windchimes and similar devices” currently hanging on Village Two patios and balconies indicates a general desire of homeowners to have such devices. 
3.       Therefore, the Board is modifying Article XVII, Section 17, to allow windbells, windchimes and similar devices or objects to be hung on rear balconies and patios provided that no part of the device or object protrudes beyond the outside wall of the balcony or patio. No object may be attached to, or draped on, parts of the buildings considered common property.  Any device or object which protrudes beyond the outside wall of a balcony or patio or is attached to, or draped on, common property is subject to removal after the unit owner has been notified and has failed to take action. 
4.       Should the noise from any windbell, windchime or similar device be the source of a complaint to neighbors, reasonable accommodation should be made by the homeowner to resolve the issue.  If Board input is required to resolve the issue, the decision of the Board is binding and final.
5.       Holiday decorations must be removed in a timely manner, no more than fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the holiday.
6.       Homeowners who violate this resolution will be billed for reimbursement of all costs incurred by Village Two HOA in the removal of the offending device, pursuant to Section 24 of the CC&Rs Please note that this is a direct reimbursement of costs incurred.
