2.2 Private areas. Restrictions on and rules and regulations governing the use of private areas shall be set forth in the Salishan Hills declaration used to create the private area. By accepting a deed to a private area, the grantee will be deemed to have covenanted that he will use and permit the use of the property only in accordance with, and that he will abide by and cause all those who come upon his premises to abide by the restrictions covenants and conditions contained in the Plan of Salishan Hills, that he will pay to the Administrator of Salishan Hills all amounts provided for in the Plan of Salishan Hills and that his property will be subject to a lien or liens as provided in such instrument.

By granting the right to residents of Salishan Hills and others to use private ways, Developer does not intend to dedicate private ways to the public but rather intends to preserve the private character of such ways.

Limitation as to the height of improvements will be accomplished through the provisions contained in Section 3.3. The Design Committee shall have the responsibility for determining what trees or other vegetation on a unit unreasonably interfere with the view of other unit owners.

If within 30 days of receipt of such notice the unit owner of the unit to which notice has been addressed has not caused the trees or other vegetation to be pruned or removed to the extent required by the Design Committee, the Administrator of Salishan Hills may direct the work to be done at the expense of the unit owner who has requested the pruning or removal of such trees or other vegetation.

At least three-month assessment must be paid on or before July 1 and the remaining nine months assessment must be paid on a quarterly basis on or before April 1 of the year due.

Therefore, the Administrator of Salishan Hills may impose penalties for the violation of the Salishan Hills Rules and Regulations within the following limits.
(a) The Administrator may impose a fine upon the resident of Salishan Hills who has violated or whose guest has violated a rule or regulation in an amount not to exceed:

(ii) For all other violations including motor vehicle and traffic rules and regulations that have no counterpart in state law, the maximum sum of $100 for any one violation.
If such fine is not paid by the person upon whom it is imposed, it shall be paid by the unit owner who by virtue of his ownership of a unit caused the person upon whom the fine was imposed to be a guest or resident of Salishan Hills.
(b) The Administrator may provide that a person who has violated a rule or regulation shall be deprived of his right to use the common areas for a period of not to exceed one year on account of any one violation. Such penalty shall become effective ten days after delivery by the Administrator of notice thereof to the person upon whom it is imposed.
9.2 Violation of Salishan Hills Declaration by nonqualifying improvement or condition. In the event any unit owner constructs or permits to be constructed on his unit an improvement contrary to the provisions of the Salishan Hills Design Committee Rules or any Salishan Hills Declaration or in the event that a unit owner maintains or permits any improvement, condition or other thing on his unit contrary to the provisions of the Salishan Hills Design Committee Rules or any Salishan Hills Declaration, the Administrator of Salishan Hills may no sooner than 60days after delivery to such unit owner of written notice of the violation, obtain an appropriate court order and enter upon the offending unit and remove the cause of such violation or alter, repair or change the item which is in violation of such Rule in such manner as to make it conform thereto. The Administrator may charge such unit owner for the entire cost of the work done by it pursuant to this section. Such amount shall become payable upon delivery by the Administrator to the unit owner of notice of the amount due, and shall be paid into the maintenance fund to the extent that the costs being reimbursed were paid out of the maintenance fund.
9.3 Violation of Salishan Hills Declaration relating to landscaping. In the event that any unit owner fails to comply with the provisions of the Salishan Hills Design Committee Rules limiting the removal of trees and shrubs, the Administrator of Salishan Hills may impose on such unit owner a fine in an amount not to exceed $25 for each shrub removed in violation of such rule and not to exceed $25 per inch of the diameter of the stump of each tree removed in violation of such Rule. The Administrator may also restore the original landscaping insofar as is reasonably possible and charge the unit owner for the entire cost involved in such restoration. Such costs shall become payable upon delivery by the Administrator to the unit owner of notice of the amount thereof and shall be paid into the maintenance fund to the extent that amounts being reimbursed were paid out of the maintenance fund.
9.4 Violation of Salishan Hills Rules or Declaration by prohibited activity. In the event that any unit owner shall violate a provision of the Salishan Hills Rules and Regulations or any Salishan Hills Declaration relating to the activities which may be conducted on his unit or if any person on the unit with the permission of the unit owner shall violate such a provision the Administrator of Salishan Hills may impose a fine upon such unit owner in an amount not to exceed $100 for any one violation.
9.5 Payment of fines. Each fine imposed pursuant to Sections 9.1, 9.3 or 9.4 shall become payable by the person upon whom it is imposed ten days after delivery by the Administrator of notice thereof to the person by whom it is payable. Each notice of fine shall refer to the rule, regulation or provision which has been violated and set forth a succinct statement of the conduct which the Administrator claims has violated such rule, regulation or restriction. All fines shall be paid into the maintenance fund.
9.6 Appeal. Any person upon whom a fine or penalty has been imposed pursuant to Sections 9.1, 9.3 or 9.4 who deems that such fine or penalty was unfairly imposed, either because he did not violate a rule, regulation or provision as charged or because the fine or penalty is unduly severe, may appeal from the imposition of the fine or penalty by filing a statement to that effect with the Administrator at any time before the fine becomes payable or the penalty effective. All appeals shall be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with such rules of procedure as such Board may adopt from time to time. The Board shall render its decisions on appeals determined by it in writing and notice thereof shall be given to the person upon whom the fine or penalty was imposed. Pending a decision on appeal, collection of a fine or imposition of penalty shall be stayed. The decision of the Board shall be binding.
9.7 Interest. Any amount not paid to the Administrator of Salishan Hills when due in accordance with the Plan of Salishan Hills shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate of 10 percent per annum to be billed on a monthly basis. Amounts due to the Administrator considered paid as of the date of the postmark on the envelope containing the payment, or the date of receipt when received by other means of delivery.
9.8 Default in payment of maintenance assessments, fines and charges. Each maintenance assessment, fine or charge levied or imposed pursuant to the Plan of Salishan Hills, together with interest thereon, shall be a separate, distinct and personal debt and obligation of the unit owner or resident of Salishan Hills against whom the maintenance assessment, fine or charge is levied or imposed or from whom the amount is due. If a unit owner fails to pay any such fine, assessment or charge or any installment thereof when due, the owner shall be in default and the amount of the fine, assessment or charge not paid, together with interest, costs and attorneys’ fees as elsewhere provided for herein shall become a lien upon the unit or units owned by the person from whom the fine, assessment or charge is due upon the filing by the Administrator of Salishan Hill in the records of mortgages of Lincoln County, Oregon, of a notice of lien setting forth the amount due and a description of the units against which the lien is imposed. Such lien shall not take effect until notice thereof has been so filed. Thus, such lien shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage upon any unit, which is accepted in good faith, and for value and which was recorded prior to the filing of the notice of lien. The Administrator of Salishan Hills may commence proceedings to foreclose any such lien at any time within three years following the date of such filing.
9.9 Expenses and attorney’s fees. In the event that the Administrator of Salishan Hills shall bring any suit or action to enforce any provision contained in the Plan of Salishan Hills to collect any money due to it thereunder or to foreclose a lien, the defendant in such suit or action shall pay to the Administrator all costs and expenses which the Administrator shall incur in connection with such suit or action, including a foreclosure title report, and such amount as the court may determine to be reasonable as attorney’s fees therein, including attorney’s fees incurred in connection with any appeal from a decision of the trial court or an intermediate appellate court.
9.10 Nonexclusivenss and accumulation of remedies. Election by the Administrator of Salishan Hills to pursue any remedy provided for the violation of any provision of the Plan of Salishan Hills shall not prevent concurrent or subsequent exercise of another remedy permitted thereunder or which is permitted by law. The remedies provided in the Plan of Salishan Hills are not intended to be exclusive, but shall be in addition to all other remedies, including actions for damage or suits for injunctions or for specific performance available under applicable law.
9.11 Right of entry. The Administrator of Salishan Hills or any member of the Design Committee authorized by the Administrator may at any reasonable time, and from time to time at reasonable intervals, enter upon any unit within Salishan Hills for the purpose of determining whether or not the use of such unit or improvement thereon is then in compliance with the Plan of Salishan Hills. No such entry shall be deemed to constitute a trespass or otherwise to create any right of action by the unit owner or occupant of such parcel. The Administrator may at its discretion obtain a court order to enforce this right of entry.
A. One sign per home or lot is allowed. The sign shall be erected as close as feasible to the center line of the property.
