3.    Procedure for Changing the Covenants (added 9/12/2022)

To change the covenants, written votes of at least 67% of all owners supporting the covenant change are needed.  These votes must be notarized, and will be recorded with the Summit County Clerk.  This means that votes are not anonymous. 

An abstention or failure to vote is the same as a vote against the amendment.

4.    Restated Covenants as a starting point for discussion (added 9/12/2022)

As a starting point the discussion of amendments to be made, a restated document is attached here.  This document takes the 1983 restatement as the starting point and makes additional changes to reflect the 1989 and 2000 amendments.  For information purposes, the parts of the document that are in the 1983 restatement, but not in the 1979/81 document or the 1983 vote (i.e. the changes that should have been approved in 1982 but may not have been) are highlighted in yellow.

5.    Restated Covenants with obviously obsolete portions marked in red.  (added 9/15/2022)

Yellow marking from 4 retained so you can start here if you have not already looked through 4. 

6.    Covenants relating to commercial/business and rental uses. (added 9/15/2022)
