RULES, REGULATIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION

1 RULES, REGULATIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION REVISED: APRIL

2 Foreword Palm-Aire Country Club Association #2 Inc., generally known as Condominium Association #2, is not a resort condominium. It is a privately owned group of ten condominium buildings, consisting of individually owned apartments, all operating under the umbrella management of Condominium Association #2. Operations are conducted strictly in accordance with laws established by Florida Statutes (Chapter 718, etc.) and according to the original Declaration of Condominium which includes the submission statement, Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, copies of which you received when you purchased your condominium parcel. Over the years, amendments have been made, which are recorded in the County Court House at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Accordingly, this Book of Rules, Regulations, and General Information, based on experience over the years, has been developed to aid you, your neighbors, and the entire Palm-Aire Community through your Board of Directors in maintaining basic objectives of gracious living and preserving the values of our respective property. Remember that although you purchased your living unit, you also share, with all others, ownership of all the condominium properties, such as the buildings, grounds, parking areas, recreation areas, and the landscaped areas which surround and are part of the property comprising Condominium Association #2. Therefore, as owners of a residential community, where many of us are permanent residents, it is everyone's duty to see that we do not become that transient hotel operation that many lessees, guests, and others have been led to believe it is. Remember also that you, the unit owner, assist the Board of Directors to properly direct and administer the business affairs of your Association, so that all of us can participate in the comforts and enjoyment that condominium living was designed to afford.
