Disposition of Infractions of the Rules and Regulation

9.l Any infraction of these Rules and Regulations reported to any member of the current Board of Directors of the Quail Hollow Homeowners Association, or to the property manager who will report it to a member of the Board, will be cause for the formation of an ad hoc committee to review the infractions. This committee will consist of the member to whom the infraction was reported and two (2) other Board members, and this committee will meet within seventy-two (72) hours of the report. If this committee finds the infraction is not serious enough to warrant the attentions of the Board of Directors, it will respond to the person bringing the complaint, either in writing or verbally, of its decision, and may, or may not, notify the person charged with the infraction of the report, cautioning them about future behavior.

Otherwise, this committee will request a special meeting of the Board of Directors, to be seated within seven (7) days of the committee meeting, for the purpose of reviewing the reported infraction and determining what action, if any, should be taken. If the Board decides to take action against the person, or persons, charged with the infraction, in the form of suspension of privileges for a period commensurate with the severity of the infraction, the person, or persons, will be notified, in writing, of the Board's decision, stating the reported infraction and the Article of the Declaration, or the Article of Rules and Regulations, which was violated, said suspension to begin seven (7) days from the date of the mailing of the notice.

Architectural Committee Process:

ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE

The Chairman of the Architectural Committee is appointed by the Board at it's Organizational Meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors June 1st of each year.

At the July meeting of the Board, the Chairman of the Architectural Committee will present the names of members of his committee (ideally two members From the single family homes, and two representatives from each of the three condominium associations) for Board approval.

The procedure for the homeowner is:

1. Provide four (4) (3 for SFH) copies of blueprints or drawings that show views and elevations, specifications as to materials, colors, etc., and probable effects on neighbors and common grounds.

2. Obtain written approval of immediate neighbors.

3. Submit blueprints and neighbors approvals to Condominium Board of Directors for approval.

4. Submit the above for approval of the Architectural Committee.

The Architectural Committee will:

1. Call a meeting within a reasonable amount of time to consider the application.

2. Physically visit the site (if necessary), examine the materials and view the colors (if available).

3. Retain one copy and return three copies of the approved proposal, one for the owner, one for the Condominium Board and one for QHHA management office for filing.

Owner should submit, if necessary, one copy of the approved proposal to the City of Charlotte to obtain a building permit.

If either the neighbors, the Condominium Association or the Architectural Committee reject the proposal, rejections should be made with suggestions for changes and revisions that would be approved.

(Selling or leasing a unit.)

More often than not, problems occur when a unit is sold or leased primarily due to lack of communication. The most frequent problem areas are as follows:

  1. Confusion about associations—condominium residents must comply with the documents and rules of two associations, i.e. Quail Hollow Homeowners and that of the individual condominium to which you belong. Each has very separate areas of responsibility. An existing owner must insure that potential buyers or lessees are aware of all documents and the obligation to each association. Single-family homeowners need only be concerned about Quail Hollow Homeowners documents and rules.
  2. Occupancy—units can be occupied by a single family only.
  3. Leasing—the term of a lease cannot be for less than one (1) year; subletting the premises or any portion thereof is not allowed.
  4. Parking—each condominium is provided with two (2) spaces only, with limited space available for guest parking; no one should use space assigned to another without obtaining permission first; no provision is made for a third vehicle; only passenger type vehicles are allowed unless the vehicle can be garaged so as to be completely out of sight; no commercial vehicles may be parked on the property except by tradesmen engaged for work, or making deliveries; all vehicles must be currently licensed and inspected.
  5. Pets—each condominium has specific rules regarding pets as to number, size, weight; all pets must be leashed when outside the unit; all pet leavings must be promptly cleaned up and properly disposed of.
  6. Information forms—each condominium has information forms, which must be completed prior to the consummation of any sale or lease and submitted to the Board or management.
