As you might be aware, during our May 2023 annual HOC meeting a motion was passed to allow for retaining a lawyer to draft changes to our protective covenants; specifically prohibiting short-term rentals in the areas of the HOC zoned RSS (Residential Small Lot Single-Family).’ The HOC board has engaged lawyers from Hartsfield & Egbert, PLLC and has finalized the language for the amendment to our protective covenants to prohibit short-term rentals. The proposed amendment recommended by the HOC board is attached herewith along with a document that provides more details about the language and the procedure that allows members of the HOC to vote on the amendment.
As per our existing protective covenants: “these Covenants may be amended only by the affirmative vote or written consent, or any combination thereof, of Members representing a majority of the total votes.” To provide everyone ample opportunity to cast their votes either by written consent (via a ballot) or in person at a general body meeting. Hence, we are also calling a special meeting to be held on October 15, 2023.
Additional information about the proposed amendment is available in the following document.
And the actual ballot is also attached here.
