2.2 The Association - The Association is incorporated through the Articles of Incorporation filed
with the Ohio’s Secretary of State as a Not for Profit corporation under the provisions of Chapter
1702 of the Revised Code of Ohio. In a Not for Profit corporation, under and pursuant to the laws of
Ohio, members are and will be all of the owners of a fee simple interest in a lot or lots within the
Association

As an association we have a homeowner elected volunteer board to oversee neighborhood association affairs.

2.1 Board of Trustees - The Code of Regulations (By-laws) and Ohio law delegate the Board of
Trustees with the responsibility for the operation and management of the common elements of the
community and the Association affairs. The Board has the ultimate authority to make decisions and
develop and approve rules and regulations in an effort to create a harmonious living environment and
help to maintain property value.
