RULES AND REGULATIONS
VICKERY HILLS CONDOMINIUM
These Rules and Regulations are adopted for the benefit of Owners
of Units at VICKERY HILLS CONDOMINIUM (the "Condominium"). They are
also intended to protect and enhance the value of all property at the
Condominium. They are designed to not unduly interfere with,
restrict, or burden the use of property.
All
residents and guests are expected to abide by these rules. They are
meant to supplement and/or clarify the provisions of the Master Deed and the
Declaration of Trust for the Condominium, and as such, they will not merely
duplicate the wording of the applicable sections of the Master Deed or the
Declaration of Trust.
As a
reminder, the following provisions of the master deed are conditions of our
zoning approval and are not subject to change by the association.
1. GENERAL
a. Nothing shall be done or kept in any
Unit, Limited Common Area or Common Area, which will increase the rate of insurance
of the Condominium. No Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept
which will result in the cancellation of insurance on the Condominium, or which
would be in violation of any law. No use shall be made of the Common Areas,
Limited Common Areas or Common Facilities other than the uses permitted in the
Master Deed, the Declaration of Trust, these Rules and Regulations, or by the
Trustees.
b. Each Unit Owner shall be responsible for
the proper maintenance, repair and replacement of his/her Unit (including
garage), and the Limited Common Areas appurtenant thereto. See
Declaration of Trust ¤5.3 and Master Deed ¤4 (iv). This includes,
but is not limited to, windows, exterior doors and their glass, screens, frames
and trims.
2. CHANGES TO AND DECORATION
OF THE BUILDINGS
a. Structural Integrity
Nothing shall be done in any Common Areas or Facilities which will
impair the structural integrity or fire rating of any building or component,
nor shall anything be done in or on said areas which would structurally change
any building without the prior issuance of a building permit and written
permission on each occasion by the Trustees.
b. Exteriors
1. Changes or fixtures
affecting the appearance of the exterior of any Building, such as, without
limitation, skylights, chimneys, decorations, awnings, signs, sun shades, air
conditioning equipment, antennas, satellite dishes, fans, screens, fences and
enclosures shall be made only with the written consent of the Trustees.
2. No part of the Common Areas, Limited
Common Areas and Facilities of the Condominium shall be decorated or
furnished in any manner, nor shall the exterior surface of any entrance
door to a Unit be painted, except with the prior approval of the Trustees. This provision includes,
but is not limited to outdoor statuary, decorations and lighting along pathways
or in planted areas.
3. Statues and animal
facsimiles of a non-religious nature are allowed in the Limited Common Area
bordering each Unit only with the approval of the Trustees. If
religious figures are placed outdoors with the approval of the Trustees,
they must be positioned so that they are visible only to the
individual Unit occupants. The Trustees have the right
to require any objectionable items to be removed promptly.
4. United States flags
are allowed on appropriate occasions. These are to be
hung from poles supported by approved brackets and in specific
locations, as communicated by the Trustees to Unit Owners.
5. Bird feeders may be
positioned in the Limited Common Areas bordering each Unit but may not be
attached to the exterior of the building. Freestanding poles and feeders
cantilevered off decks are allowed. It is the responsibility of the
Unit occupants to clean up any mess that may be created by these
feeders. Important note of caution: When windy conditions prevail,
it is prudent to take the feeders down so they donÕt become
airborne projectiles in a storm.
c. Interiors
1. No modification adversely
affecting the structural integrity or the fire rating of a Building or Unit
shall be made.
2. Unit
Owners desiring to modify his/her Unit by removing, installing or modifying
non–bearing walls lying wholly within the Unit, or by improving and/or
finishing all or any part of the basement level, or create a new room in any
part of the Unit, shall first submit to the Trustees a plan depicting the
improvements. In addition, the Unit Owner shall submit, together with such
plan, an affidavit certifying that the space to be modified and/or improved
will not create and will not be utilized as an additional bedroom within the
Unit. Such modification, with the approval of the Trustees, also has
to be approved by the Building Department of the Town of
Southborough. In addition, a certified, Òas builtÓ plan and any
Amendment to the Master Deed shall be recorded with the Registry of
Deeds. The Unit Owner shall provide the Board of Trustees with a
copy of the Building Permit issued by the Town of Southborough prior to
initiation of construction. Upon receipt of the plan, affidavit and
copy of the Building Permit, providing all are in compliance with the
provisions hereof, the Board of Trustees shall issue to the Unit Owner a
statement suitable for recording with the Registry of Deeds, indicating that
the Unit Owner has complied with the provisions of this section.
3. LANDSCAPING
Unit Owners are allowed to add plants in the Limited Common Areas
bordering their Units as indicated in the sections below. In all

government law, regulation, rule, or any provision of the Master Insurance
Policy.

The Trustees are authorized, in their sole discretion, to impose
monetary fines or penalties for violation of these Rules and Regulations.

As such, the Trustees as empowered by the Declaration of Trust
have, effective November 3,
2011 approved the assessment of fines for each and every

and Regulations. For the first
infraction, a written warning will be issued. For the second
and
each subsequent offense, the
Trustees may impose a fine of $50.00.
Violations must be corrected within a reasonable time as
determined by the Trustees. In the
case of multiple infractions of
the Rules and Regulations, or infractions which continue beyond
a reasonable time as
determined by the Trustees, each occurrence and/or each day that the
infraction continues beyond the
reasonable time for correction, shall be considered a separate
violation and shall give rise
to a separate fine. The Trustees may, at their discretion,
delegate
collection authority to the
management company.
All fees and costs assessed pursuant to a violation of the Rules
and Regulations shall be subject
to collection in the same
manner as common charges, and shall be subject to costs of collection
as set forth in the

the unit pursuant to
the provisions of the Declaration
of Trust.

receipt of the written request for hearing and shall be conducted in a closed
