LEXINGTON HILLS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

VIOLATION POLICY

Effective February 15,2001

In accordance with RCW 64.38.020 paragraph (11), a $50 fine may be imposed upon Lexington Hills Homcowners Association Members where a continued violation of the Association's governing documents occurs. For uncoirected violations, the initial $50 fine will be imposed at a hearing as described b the Violation Procedures. Following the initial fine, if the violation is not corrected or recurs within 14 calendar days, a "continuing violation" fine of $50 may be imposed. Additional $50 fines may also be imposed for each 14-day period, or portion thereof; that the violation is not corrected or recurs. The $50 fine schedule for Lexington Hills Homcowners Association includes, but is not limited to, violations of paragraphs defined in Article III of the Declaration Of Protective Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Lexington Hills (Covenants). The Board of Directors has the right to impose fines for violations not listed herein provided the Violation Procedure is followed. Fines for violations that directly affect the health and safety of Lexington Hills Homeowners are not subject to the same time and notice requirements. Any fines assessed do not in any way reduce the power of the Board of Directors or any individual Association Member to enforce the Covenants through other legal means.

1. Board member or ACC member is notified of a potential violation of the protective covenants.

2. Within 30 days of notice, any one Board or ACC member will investigate the alleged violation and document their findings as appropriate.

3. If in agreement, they will ensure that the violating member is notified in writing of the specific violation, the potential fine, the current Violation Policy, and the date and time of the scheduled hearing. If we are aware that the home is rented, a copy of the notice will be sent to the current resident. The notice will request that the violation be corrected by the scheduled hearing date. The hearing date will be no earlier than 17 calendar days after delivery of the notice. Delivery shall be defined as mailing of the notice via U.S. Mail certified with return receipt requested and/or hand delivery to the member. A courtesy phone call may also be made.

4. A hearing is scheduled (usually part of the regular monthly Board or ACC meeting) where the member has an opportunity to be beard by the Board and/or the ACC. The Board will vote on the following based on the evidence presented at the hearing: 1. Did a violation of the covenants occur? Yes or No. 2. Has the violation been corrected? Yes or No. 3. Should the $50 fine be assessed? Yes or No. All decisions of the Board regarding fines are final.

5. If a fine is assessed, the member will be sent a written notice of the Boards decision within 5 business days of the hearing with a request for payment of the initial fine, demand to correct the violation, and outline the continuing violation schedule. A copy of the notice will be sent to the Treasurer to record the assessment.

6. If the Board or ACC is notified that the violation has not been corrected within 14 days or recurs, and the initial fine has been assessed, they will investigate the continuing violation and document their findings as appropriate within a reasonable period of time. Findings will be presented at the next scheduled board meeting.

7. If in agreement, the association member will be sent a request for payment of the continuing violation fine, demand to correct the violation, and the continuing violation schedule. A copy of the notice will be sent to the Treasurer to record the assessment.
