Should any owner fail to comply with the restriction imposed by this provision, the Association may recover from such owner the cost of restoring or replacing any such vegetation. No changes, alterations, additions to or removal of any portion of the Condominium Common Area shall be undertaken except by the Association.”

• All watercraft will be stored by WMC near the Dollar House for the winter. Homeowners need to contact WMC to set the date for their watercraft to be returned to the beach when the buoy field is re-installed in the spring. Homeowners are responsible for relocking their watercraft.
• The Homeowner will be charged a $50 fee for this service, handled in the same manner as is currently done for the buoy rentals.
• If the watercraft does not have a valid sticker, it will not be returned to the beach in the spring until a sticker is obtained and applied to the watercraft. The Homeowner will then pay for the past season of storage.
