I. GENERAL
INFORMATION REGARDING CONDOMINIUMS
We hope following information will assist
you in understanding the condominium concept. The condominium lifestyle is
different in many ways from single family housing. A condominium is a
corporation that is closely regulated by Florida State Law, Section 718.
Each condominium and its Association (owners) are governed by this Law, and
the individual condominiums legal documents which include a Declaration of
Condominium, Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and Rules and Regulations.
The operation of a condominium is administered by a board of directors
elected by the owners.
It is suggested that all owners become
familiar with the above documents. Current copies of the law and related
documents are maintained in the Association Office and are available to
owners for reference.
II. CONDMINIUM DOCUMENTS –
(available in the condo office)
A. DECLARATION OF
CONDOMINIUM
The Declaration establishes the basic
principles by which a particular condominium is created and developed. It
also contains certain rules of conduct for the Association and its members.
The Riverhouse Declaration cannot be changed without consent of the owners
and mortgage holders. In Riverhouse, a vote of 150 owners and 100% of the
mortgage holders is needed for changes to be made to this document.
B. ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION
The Articles establish the legal existence
of the condominium corporation.
C. BY-LAWS
The By-Laws detail the requirements and
regulations needed to operate the condominium.
D. RULES AND
REGULATIONS
The Rules and Regulations document contains
a listing of various rules, regulations, policies and procedures that have
been established by the Board of Directors to ensure that Daytona Beach
Riverhouse remains a beautiful and harmonious living experience.
E. OTHER REQUIRED
DOCUMENTS
Frequently Asked Questions, Unit Owner’s
Voting Certificate, Unit Owner/Resident Roster, Board and Member meeting
minutes are all kept in the condo office.
III - OWNERSHIP
The term "condominium" refers to a form of
property ownership in use for many years in Europe which became popular and
widespread in the United States in the 1960's
A. THE OWNER'S UNIT
Briefly described, the condominium unit
owner is the sole owner of his home, holding title in fee simple. You own
the space between the unfinished walls of your unit and certain rights to
the common areas of the condominium.
B. COMMON ELEMENTS
The owner holds an ownership interest in
the land upon which the condominium is developed, the building structure,
the parking facilities, swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis courts and docks,
as well as operating equipment. The properties owned in common are called
common elements, and each unit owner’s share of ownership is set forth in
the Declaration of Condominium. The ownership of an undivided interest in
the common elements, called a percentage interest, also gives the unit owner
the right to participate in the control of the Association. The obligation
to pay a defined Share of common expenses for operating and maintaining all
of the common elements is also according to the percentage interests.
C. LIMITED COMMON ELEMENTS
Certain common elements are designated as
limited common elements. A limited common element is a portion of the common
elements set aside for use by less than all of the unit owners. In most
cases a specific limited common element (balcony) is for the use and
enjoyment of single unit owner and occupants of the unit. The owner of a
unit to which a limited common element is assigned has a specific right to
use this limited common element and some restrictions are set forth in the
condominium documents.
D. LESSEE’S RIGHTS
As shown in Florida Statutes 718.106 (4).
"When a unit is leased, a tenant shall have all use rights in the
association property and those common elements otherwise readily available
for use generally by unit owners and the unit owner shall not have such
rights except as a guest, unless such rights are waived in writing by the
tenant. Nothing in this subsection shall interfere with the access rights of
the unit owner as a landlord ..."
GOVERNMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION
E. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Condominium, referred to herein as
the Association, is administered by a Board of Directors who act as
trustees for each unit owner's interest in the common elements. The Board
oversees the operations of the Association including, but not limited to:
finances, approval of prospective owners
and tenants, insurance, staff, contractors and committees. Under the
provisions of this Association’s documents, the Board of Directors consists
of seven unit owners. No director may serve more than three consecutive
years.
F. FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
Each year the Association compiles an
annual budget which contains the estimated expenses which will have to be
met in the coming calendar year, based on the services and programs offered
at Riverhouse. The Board of Directors must also include in the budget
adequate sums for reserves to cover known estimated future expenses called
replacement reserves, major repairs or replacements of common elements.
G. ASSESSMENTS
The monthly assessment is the common
expense multiplied by the percentage interest of each unit. It is 1/12 of
the annual assessment, but is assessed on a monthly basis in accordance with
the ownership documents. Each payment is due on the first day of each month
without further notice. If not paid within 30 days, interest equal to 10
percent per annum will be charged as per the articles of incorporation.
In the event that an unforeseen expense
arises for which insufficient funds have been budgeted for any calendar
year, the Board of Directors may levy an additional assessment to make up
the deficit. This assessment will be payable by unit owners either in a
lump sum or in installments as determined by the Board. Although normal
common expenses are apportioned among all unit owners, certain expenses are
payable in their entirety by individual owners. If the Association must
make a repair on behalf of an owner in an emergency, the charge for that
repair must by borne by the owner.
H. RESERVES
Reserves are a way of setting aside money
for future repair and replacement of major components of the common elements
of the Condominium. They protect unit owners against some special
assessments arising from unplanned expenditures incurred by the Association.
It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to determine what
accounts must be established in addition to those specifically named by
law. Reserves are calculated by means of a formula using the estimated life
and replacement cost of each asset. We currently maintain reserve accounts
for the following: Roofing, Painting, Paving, Building & Grounds,
Clubhouse, Pool, Docks & Seawall, Elevator, Tennis Court, Irrigation System
and Misc. (fence, lights, sheds ect.) Under Florida State Law, the
requirement for reserves may be waived annually by the Association by a
majority vote of owners at annual meeting. Such a waiver is effective for
only one annual budget and the vote must be taken annually to continue to
waive the statutory requirements.

responsibility of such owner.
8. Enforcement of Maintenance. In the
event owners of a unit fail to maintain it as required herein or make any
structural addition or alteration without the required written consent, the
Corporation or any owner with an interest in any unit shall have the right
to proceed in a court of equity to seek compliance with the provisions
hereof. The Corporation shall have the right to levy at any time a special
assessment against the owners of the unit for the necessary sums to
put the improvements within the unit in good condition and repair or to
remove any unauthorized structural addition or alteration. After making
such assessment, the Corporation shall have the right to have its employees
and agents enter the unit at any time to do such work as deemed necessary by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation to enforce compliance with the
provisions hereof.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation
may enter into a contract with any firm, person or corporation for the

G. BOAT DOCKS
1. Assignment of Slips
Use of docks and beach
is restricted to vessels wholly owned by residents, except as provided below
for vessels of visitors. The Manager and the Dockmaster assign dock and
beach space. The dock and beach assignments may be changed only by their
mutual permission, or by the Board of Directors.
When dock and
beach space becomes available, notice will be forwarded to the next person
on the list, at their currently recorded mailing address. If the Manager
and Dockmaster are not contacted by said person within 14 days of the
mailing, the next person on the list will be contacted. The non-responding
person will remain at the head of the list until they either notify the
Manager and Dockmaster that they are no longer interested, or they do not
respond to two mailed notices.
Assignment is
made on a first come-first assigned basis, and is subject to forfeit if
unoccupied for more than thirty (30) days. An extension may be granted if a
valid reason is presented to the Dockmaster in writing prior to the end of
the 30 day period. Maintenance shall be considered the valid reason and
such absence shall be limited to a maximum of 90 days. Written notice of a
vessel’s removal for maintenance, and its expected date of return shall be
provided to the Dockmaster within forty-eight (48) hours of its removal.
Absence of more than thirty (30) days for maintenance shall require written
proof of the validity of such maintenance. Any non-maintenance absence of
more than thirty (30) days, or ninety (90) days for valid maintenance, shall
result in the dock space being reassigned to the next available person on
the waiting list.
If owner of absent
vessel agrees, the Dockmaster may reassign the vacant space to another
vessel on a short term, temporary basis. Such reassignment shall expire
when the original vessel is ready for return to the dock. Owner of the
returning vessel shall provide the Dockmaster with notice of intended return
date at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to return. The reassigned
vessel shall, upon notice to its owner from the Dockmaster, be removed
within twenty-four (24) hours of notice.
The owner(s)
of any vessel receiving dockage, on the water or beach, must sign and date a
Daytona Riverhouse Dockage Agreement prior to receiving dock/beach space.
The Dockage Agreement shall include a copy of the dock rules, a copy of the
owner’s vessel insurance policy with proof of liability insurance in the
minimum amount of $100,000.00, proof of ownership, and proof of valid
Florida registration for current year (if vessel requires registration).
This Dockage Agreement shall be kept on file in the Association office and
must be kept current. Failure to comply with the requirements of the
Dockage Agreement shall be valid basis for reassignment of dock space. All
vessels at the docks, and on the beach, shall at all times display in plain
sight a valid Riverhouse boat sticker for owner identification purposes.
When a unit
owner rents his unit, he relinquishes his right as an owner to the use of
the recreational facilities of Riverhouse, except as the guest of the
renter. Therefore he loses his preferential treatment as an owner, and all
dockage previously assigned on the basis of being an owner must be
immediately vacated. Renter may make application to be placed on the dock
space assignment list, but such placement follows the first come-first
assigned basis. It shall be noted that dockage is part of the common
elements of the complex, and no dockage is specifically assigned to or the
specific right of any unit except as complies with these rules of
assignment.
2. Rules of Enforcement
These Rules and
Regulations will be enforced in accordance with the By-Laws of the
Association, and may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
3. Maintenance of
Vessels
It is the responsibility
of each vessel owner to maintain his vessel in all respects ready for the
sea. An owner may at any time be required by the Dockmaster to demonstrate
that his vessel is in operating condition. Under the Dock master’s
observation, the vessel must travel to the Halifax River channel and back
yearly. Owners whose engines are inoperable must notify the Dockmaster
immediately, and advise of remedial actions being taken.
4. Emergencies
In the event of an
emergency and the absence of the owner, the Dockmaster has the right, but
not the obligation, to take prudent action to safeguard all vessels and
property of the Riverhouse. The Dockmaster shall not be liable for any
actions taken in an emergency situation. Owners must reimburse Riverhouse
for any and all actions taken and costs incurred in emergency situations on
behalf of owners.
5. Dangerous Conditions
Use of any open flame
equipment on the docks is prohibited. Owners shall correct dangerous
conditions of any kind immediately. Vessels must be properly secured to the
dock, and the Dockmaster may require Owners to use more or larger lines if
it appears advisable. The Owner shall be responsible for any damage caused
to the dock or seawall by any of his, or his guest’s actions.
6. Noise
The rules of conduct
applicable to all other areas of Riverhouse apply to the dock areas and
vessels thereat. Equipment such as TV sets, radios, VCRs or loud hailers
shall not be allowed to create a nuisance by being played at too high a
volume. Rigging must be secured to prevent slapping and chattering.
7. Garbage and Waste
Garbage, refuse, or
waste shall not be thrown overboard or otherwise disposed of into the
harbor’s waters or onto piers. There shall be no discharge of oil, fuel,
solvents, flammable liquids, poisons, or other pollutants.
8. Visiting Vessels
These may be
accommodated on a space available basis. Residents must obtain prior
written permission from the Dockmaster for visiting vessels. The resident
is responsible for the conduct of his visitors. Visits are limited to two
weeks, and visitors must provide written proof of compliance with all
requirements of the Dockage Package prior to occupying the dock or beach
space.
9. Dock Improvements
Owners may add fender boards, dock boards, or mooring
whips to improve the docks and protect their boats with the approval of the
Dockmaster.
10. Advertising
Advertising is not
permitted at the docks or on vessels.
11. Commercial Use
Business entertaining is
allowed so long as it conforms to the rules and regulations of Riverhouse.
