The first phase will be subject to this Declaration upon recording.  All dwelling units within Inner Harbor Village Condominium are hereby declared to be expressly subject to the Master Declaration recorded by Declarant, which Master Declaration is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein.

    The Master Declaration and this Declaration are declared to be in furtherance of a general plan for the overall improvement of the various development components of Inner Harbor Village and are established for the purpose of enhancing and perfecting the value, desirability and attractiveness of Inner Harbor Village and every portion thereof. The Master Declaration and this Declaration, as either may be hereafter modified or amended, shall run with the Inner Harbor Village Condominium property described in Exhibit A, and any other property subjected to this Declaration by Declarant, and shall be binding and inure to the benefit of Declarant, the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association, and all Owners, Residents and Occupants, their successors and assigns, in Inner Harbor Village Condominium. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to prevent Declarant from dedicating or conveying portions of Inner Harbor Village Condominium, including, but not limited to, condominium common areas, streets, roadways and easements to any governmental entity or other individual or entity for other uses or purposes.
  2. Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association Bound Upon issuance of a Certificate of Incorporation by the State of Washington, the Covenants contained in the Master Declaration and this Declaration, as may be hereafter modified or amended, shall be binding upon and shall benefit the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association.
  3. Superseded Declaration With the exception of the Master Declaration, this Declaration supersedes and is made in full substitution for any prior covenants, conditions or restrictions which may have been imposed on Inner Harbor Village Condominium by Declarant or any of its predecessors in interest. 

ARTICLE 3 - DEVELOPMENT IN PHASES

  1. Additional Phases It is intended that this condominium be developed in phases. Declarant expects to complete several additional phases, but is not required to do so.  Initially, phase 1 will be included in the Inner Harbor Village Condominium.  For each subsequent phase following Phase 1, the Declarant shall execute and record an amendment to this Declaration stating that said subsequent phase (including the subsequent phase land, and all dwelling units, buildings and other improvements thereon) is included within the Inner Harbor Village Condominium.   If all addition phases do not in fact occur, then the first phase, and any additional phases completed and subject to this Declaration, as amended, shall constitute a complete and fully operational condominium.  All or any part of the property set forth in any Exhibits as additional phases, which are not actually developed or subjected to this Declaration, as amended, may be used for any lawful purpose by the Declarant.  As additional phases do occur, and are subjected to this Declaration, as amended, then all completed phases combined shall constitute one complete fully operational condominium.  Owners in a prior phase will utilize the condominium common areas and facilities for the subsequent phases and also share in the overall expense of the entire Inner Harbor Village Condominium.

    Declarant shall complete subsequent phases in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared from time to time by Declarant's architect.  Improvements within subsequent phases will be reasonably consistent with improvements in prior phases in terms of quality of construction.
  2. Joint Use of Common Areas When additional phases are completed and subjected to this Declaration, as amended, then the condominium common areas as defined in Article 6 shall include those in all phases completed and subject to this Declaration, as amended, and the definition of condominium limited common areas, as set forth in Article 7., shall include those in all completed phases.
  3. Phase Percentages The percentage of undivided ownership in the condominium common area is set forth in Exhibit B for all dwelling units initially subject to this Declaration. This percentage is computed by taking as a basis the value of the dwelling unit in relation to the value of the "Property" as defined in RCW 64.32.010(14). As set forth in Exhibit B, the same formula shall be utilized to recompute the percentage of undivided ownership in the condominium common area in the event that additional dwelling units and property are added to the condominium as contemplated.  Upon completion  of additional dwelling units, and inclusion in the condominium development, the percentage of each dwelling unit within the condominium development will be recomputed in accordance with the above formula.  The Amended Declaration adding additional dwelling units shall set forth the recomputed percentage for each dwelling unit within the Inner Harbor Village Condominium.
  4. Assessments Based On Percentage For Phasing All Assessments provided for in Article 16, or otherwise provided for in this Declaration, shall initially be based upon the percentage of ownership shown in Exhibit B for Phase 1.  Assessments after the inclusion of additional dwelling units shall be based upon the schedule of percentage of ownership as set forth in  Exhibit B for the total number of dwelling units then included within Inner Harbor Village Condominium.  The Declarant or Board of Directors may upon inclusion of any additional dwelling units to the condominium recompute the budget and the assessments, and impose the revised assessments
  5. Easements And Restrictions for Benefit of Additional Phases There is hereby reserved to the Declarant, its employees, agents, representatives and assigns, an easement for access, construction, placement, maintenance and improvement of utilities and drainage over, under and across any portion of Inner Harbor Village Condominium, as described in Exhibit A, which is subject to this Declaration; as amended, together with easements in roadways and utility lines specified or established within Inner Harbor Village Condominium, along with the right to connect thereto for the purpose of completing any additional phase. The Declarant shall bear the cost of tie‑ins to said utilities, drainage and roads, and will not connect in any manner that impairs or significantly reduces the quality of the existing services to any completed phases.
  6. Phased Amendment It is specifically covenated and agreed that Declarant, upon Declarant's sole signature, and as attorney-in-fact for all dwelling unit Owners with an irrevocable power coupled with an interest, may file an amendment to the Declaration (and to the Survey Map and Plans, if necessary), as provided herein, said amendment to contain and  depict such information and data as is necessary to establish a  subsequent phase as a part of the Inner Harbor Condominium.  Such amendment will not require the consent of any other owner other than the Declarant so long as the percentage of undivided ownership in the condominium common areas remains consistent for the additional dwelling units with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The proposed location and configuration of the dwelling units and buildings may be changed.

    The amended declaration shall declare the number of buildings and dwelling units in the additional phase and shall declare that the additional phase is subject to all provisions of the Governing Documents.  In addition, the amended Declaration shall show the percentage of ownership in condominium common areas for the combination of all phases.  Upon recording the amended declaration, survey map and plan, if necessary, the dwelling units and condominium common areas of the additional phase being added shall be integrated into and combined with all combined with all other completed phases and shall be a single condominium to the same effect as though they had been initially established as a single phase condominium.
  7. Protection Against Liens Prior to recording amendments to the Declaration for addition of phases, the Declarant shall ensure that no lien, mortgage or other encumbrance arising out of the development of the additional phase shall be or remain a charge against the property, including the condominium common areas, in said phase. Moreover, no lien, mortgage, or encumbrance arising out of development of any additional phase shall, under any circumstances, become a charge against the dwelling unit, condominium limited common areas, or condominium common areas of any part of a previously completed phase.

The Annual and Special Assessments, together with interest, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be joint and several personal debts and obligations of the Owner(s) and contract purchasers of dwelling units for which the same are assessed as of the time the Assessment is made and shall be collectible as such. The amount of any Annual or Special Assessment assessed to any dwelling unit and the Owner and/or purchaser thereof, plus interest and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a lien upon such dwelling unit, the appurtenant limited common areas and the exclusive use thereof. The lien for payment of said Assessments shall have priority over all other liens and encumbrances, recorded or unrecorded, except as may be otherwise limited by Washington State law.  Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid Assessments shall be maintainable without foreclosure or waiving the lien securing the same.

Annual Assessments In order to provide for the operation and maintenance of the Inner Harbor Village Condo­minium Association, including the establishment of replacement and maintenance reserves, the Board of Directors in each year, commencing in 1990, shall assess an Annual Assessment against each dwelling unit where there has been issued an Occupancy Permit for sixty (60) days or more.  Each dwelling unit shall be responsible for paying the Annual Assessment or a pro rata share thereof, based upon the number of months remaining in the Association's fiscal year. The amount of the Annual Assessment shall be established by the Board of Directors, but shall be determined with the objective of fulfilling the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association's obligations under this Declaration.  If the amount assessed hereunder as an Annual Assessment in any year should be determined insufficient by the Board of Directors to meet the requirements of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association, then, subject to the maximum limitations for Assessments herein, the Board of Directors may levy a Supplemental Annual Assessment assessed to the Owners in like proportions as the Annual Assessment for the sole purpose of meeting the anticipated deficiency.
  3. Uniform Rate of Assessment The amount of any Annual or Special Assessment shall be determined for each dwelling unit based upon the percentage of undivided ownership in the condominium common areas.  Annual Assessments shall be collected in advance on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Special Assessments may be collected as specified by the Board of Directors unless otherwise determined by resolution of the Members of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association approving the Special Assessment at the meeting approving the Special Assessment.
  4. Maximum Annual Assessment The initial Annual Assessment year shall commence on the sixtieth (60th) day following the issuance of the first Occupancy Permit for a dwelling unit within Inner Harbor Village Condominium, and each subsequent Annual Assessment year shall correspond with the fiscal year of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association. The Annual Assessment to be established by the Board of Directors may not exceed a certain amount (the "Maximum Annual Assessment") determined in accordance with the following provisions:
    1. During the initial Annual Assessment year, the Maximum Annual Assessment against each dwelling unit shall be $1,464.00 per year ($122.00/month).
    2. Effective with commencement of the first full fiscal year (which is the fiscal year commencing after the initial Assessment) and continuing through the fifth (5th) full fiscal year, the Maximum Annual Assessment may be increased by the Board of Directors without a vote of this Membership by a maximum of twenty percent (20%) over the previous year's Annual Assessment. Any such increase shall be effective at the beginning of each fiscal year. Beginning with the sixth (6th) full fiscal year, and each subsequent fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Annual Assessment may be increased by the Board of Directors without a vote of the Membership by a maximum amount equal to the greater of either (1) five percent (5%) over the previous year's Annual Assessment, or (2) the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, Seattle/Everett Metro­politan Area (or such other closest geographic area available), published by the Department of Labor, Washington, D.C., or successor governmental agency, between the first day of the previous full fiscal year and the first day of the current full fiscal year. Any such increase shall be effective at the beginning of each fiscal year.
    3. The Maximum Annual Assessment may only be increased above the amount set forth in Subsection 16.4.2 above, if there is a prior consent of a majority of the outstanding votes of the Membership who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose.
  5. Special Assessments Capital Improvements and Extraordinary Expenses The Inner Harbor Village Condo­minium Association may levy a Special Assessment for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon any condominium common areas, buildings, structures, fixtures or other improvements within Inner Harbor Village Condominium, or for the purpose of defraying other extraordinary expenses, including increased maintenance expenses; providing, that in any fiscal year the Board of Directors may not, without the vote or written consent of a majority of the outstanding votes of the Membership, levy Special Assessments for that year which in the aggregate exceed five percent (5%) of the budgeted gross expenses of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association for that fiscal year. Nothing herein shall preclude the Inner Harbor Village Condo­minium Association from levying Special Assessments that extend over more than one fiscal year. The provisions of this Subsection are not intended to preclude or limit the assessment, collection or use of Annual Assessments for the aforestated purposes.

Notice and Quorum Written notice of any meeting called for the purpose of taking any action under Section 16.4 and 16.5 of this Article shall be sent to all Members not less than thirty (30) days or more than sixty (60) days in advance of the meeting. At any such meeting called, the presence of Members or of proxies entitled to cast twenty five percent (25%) of all the votes (exclusive of suspended voting rights) of the Membership shall constitute a quorum.

  8. Billing and Collection Procedures The Board of Directors shall have the right to adopt procedures consistent herewith for the purpose of levying and collecting Annual and Special Assessments.

Such notice may be given at any time prior to or after delinquency of such payment. The Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association shall be under no duty to refund any payments received by it even though a dwelling unit is sold during an Assessment Period; successor Owners shall be given credit for prepayments. on a prorated basis, made by prior Owners.

Any delinquent installment of Annual or Special Assessment shall bear interest from thirty (30) days after the due date until paid at a uniform rate established by the Board of Directors, which rate shall not exceed the maximum interest rate legally allowed by Washington State. The Member shall be liable for all collection costs, including attorneys' fees incurred by the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association. The Board of Directors may also record a Notice of Delinquent Assessment against any dwelling unit as to which an Annual or Special Assessment is delinquent and constitutes a lien, and may further establish a fixed fee to reimburse the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association for its costs associated with recording such notice of lien, processing the delinquency and recording a notice of payment, which fixed fee shall be treated as a collection cost of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association secured by the Assessment lien.
  10. Evidence of Payment of Annual and Special Assessments Upon receipt of a written request by a Member or any other person, the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association shall, within fifteen (15) days, issue a written certificate stating (a) that all Annual and Special Assessments (including interest costs and attorneys' fees) have been paid with respect to any specified dwelling unit, as of the date of such certificate, or (b) if all Annual and Special Assessments have not been paid, the amount of such Annual and/or Special Assessments (including interest, costs and attorneys' fees, if any) due and payable as of such date. The Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association may make a reasonable charge for the issuance of such certificates. Any such certificate, when duly issued as herein provided, shall be conclusive and binding with respect to any matter therein stated as against any bona fide purchaser of, or lender on, the dwelling unit in question.
  11. Declarant Subsidy For the first two (2) years following recording of this Declaration, Declarant shall subsidize the financial operations of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association in the event all Annual Assessments and every other revenue source (income) received by the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association fails to equal or exceed the actual expenses incurred during the fiscal year. The terms and conditions of the subsidy shall be established by written agreement between Declarant and the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association.  Declarant shall have no obligation for any such short fall resulting from the levying of any Annual Assessment in an amount less than the maximum authorized, unless the same has been previously approved in writing by Declarant. The subsidy contemplated herein shall automatically terminate at the second anniversary of the recording of this Declaration, unless terminated prior thereto due to the self-sufficient financial condition of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association.
  12. Omission of Assessments The omission by the Declarant or Board of Directors of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association before the expiration of any fiscal year to fix the Annual Assessment hereunder for the next year, shall not be deemed a waiver or modification in any respect of the provisions of this Declaration, or a release of the Owner from the obligation to pay the Annual Assessment, or any installment thereof for that or any subsequent year, but the Annual Assessment fixed for the preceding year shall continue until a new Annual Assessment is fixed.

ARTICLE 17 - ENFORCEMENT OF PAYMENT OF ANNUAL AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND OF ASSESSMENT LIEN

  1. Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association As Enforcing Body The Inner Harbor Village Condominium Asso­ciation shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Declaration.  However, if the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association shall fail or refuse to enforce this Declaration or any provision hereof for any unreasonable period of time, after written request to do so, then any Member may enforce them on behalf of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association, but not at the expense of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association, by any appropriate action whether in law or in equity.
  2. Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association Remedies to Enforce Payment of Annual and Special Assessments The Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association may enforce payment of any delinquent Annual or Special Assessments, together with all interest, collection costs, and attorneys' fees, by, among other things, taking the following actions, concurrently or separately:

    2. Foreclose the Assessment Lien against the dwelling unit in accordance with the then prevailing Washington law relating to either judicial or non-judicial foreclosure; The remedies provided herein are cumulative and the Board of Directors may pursue them, and any other remedies that may be available now or in the future under Washington law.

The Assess­ment Liens of the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association shall be subordinate in all cases to any Assessment Liens of the Master Association established by the Master Declaration.
  4. First Mortgage The Assessment Lien provided for herein shall be subordinate to any First Mortgage lien and any liens for taxes and other public charges which by applicable law are expressly made superior.

  6. Rentals From the time of commencement of an action to foreclose a lien for non-payment of delinquent assessments against a dwelling unit that is not occupied by the Owner thereof, the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver, which receiver shall collect from the lessee thereof the rent for the dwelling unit as and when due.  If the rental is not paid, the receiver may obtain possession of the dwelling unit, refurbish it for rental up to a reasonable standard for rental units in this type of condo­minium, rent the dwelling unit or permit its rental to others, and apply the rents first to the cost of the receivership and attorneys' fees thereof, then to the cost of refurbishing the dwelling unit, then to applicable charges, then to costs, fees, and charges of the foreclosure action, and then to the payment of the delinquent Assessments.
  7. Suspension of Membership In addition to the remedies set forth herein, and not to the exclusion or prejudice thereof, the Board of Directors may also suspend a Member from the inner Harbor Village Condominium Association and the privileges of Membership for non-payment of Assessments.

ARTICLE 22 - EASEMENTS

  1. General Easement It is intended that in addition to rights set forth in the Horizontal Property Regimes Act and/or Washington Condominium Act, the Owner of each dwelling unit has an easement in and through each other dwelling unit and the condominium common areas and condominium limited common areas for all support elements and utilities, including, but not limited to, wiring, heat, service and plumbing and for reasonable access thereto, as required to effectuate and continue proper operation and maintenance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each dwelling unit and all condominium common and condominium limited common areas are specifically subject to an easement for the benefit of each of the other dwelling units in the buildings for all duct work for the dwelling units, for fireplaces, and all flues or chimneys.  In addition, each dwelling unit and all condominium common areas and condominium limited common areas are specifically subject to easements as required for electrical wiring and plumbing, for any air conditioning lines and equipment, for each dwelling unit, and for any master antenna cable system. Also, each dwelling unit as it is constructed, is granted an easement to which each other dwelling unit, condominium common area or condominium limited common area is subject to an easement for the location and maintenance of all original equipment, facilities and utilities for such dwelling unit. The specific mention or reservation of any easement in this Declaration does not limit or negate the general easement for all common facilities reserved by law.
  2. Maintenance Easement An easement is reserved and granted to the Declarant and the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association, its Officers, Directors, agents, employees, representatives and assigns, upon, across, over, in, and under the condominium common areas, condominium limited common areas, and dwelling units to enable the Declarant and/or the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association to perform the duties and functions which it is obligated or permitted to perform pursuant to this Declaration.
  3. Future Utility Easements Commencing at the termination of the Development Period, or such earlier time that Declarant terminates its interest in the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association, the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association shall have the right to grant easements, licenses and permits upon, across, over and under the condominium common areas and condominium limited common areas for drainage and for the installation, replacement, repair and maintenance of utilities, including, but not limited to, water, sewer, gas, telephone, electricity and cable television systems; providing said easements, licenses and permits shall be (1) consistent with the intended use of said properties; (2) reasonably necessary or desirable for the proper use, maintenance and operation of said properties; and (3) substantially without adverse effect on the enjoyment of said properties by the Members.
  4. Rights of Declarant Incident to Construction An easement is reserved by and granted to Declarant, its successors and assigns, for use, placement of materials, access, ingress and egress over, upon, under and across the condominium common areas and condominium. limited common areas, including, but not limited to, the right to store materials thereon and to make such other use thereof as may be reasonably necessary or incidental to Declarant's construction and sales activities within Inner Harbor Village Condominium; provided, however, that no such rights or  easements shall be exercised by Declarant in such a manner as to unreasonably interfere with the occupancy, use, enjoyment, or access by any Owner, Resident, or Occupant to the condominium common areas or condominium  limited common areas, except on a temporary basis. The easement created pursuant to this subsection shall automatically cease at the termination of the Development Period or upon the sale of the last dwelling unit in Inner Harbor Village Condo­minium by Declarant, whichever is later.
  5. Easements Deemed Created All conveyances of dwelling units hereafter made, whether by the Declarant or otherwise, shall be construed to grant and reserve the easements contained herein, even though no specific reference to such easements or to this Article 22 appears in the instrument of such conveyance.

ARTICLE 24 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION; RECONSTRUCTION

  1. Initial Board Determinations In the event of damage or destruction to any part of Inner Harbor Village Condominium, the Board of Directors shall promptly, and in all events within sixty (60) days after the date of damage or destruction, make the following determination with respect thereto employing such advice as the Board of Directors deems advisable:
    1. The nature and extent of the damage or destruction, together with an inventory of the improvements and property directly affected thereby.
    2. A reasonably reliable estimate of the cost to repair and restore the damage and destruction, which estimate shall, if reasonably practicable, be based upon two or more firm bids obtained from responsible contractors.
    3. The anticipated insurance proceeds, if any, to be available from insurance covering the loss based on the amount paid or initially offered by the insurer.
    4. The amount, if any, that the estimated cost of repair and restoration exceeds the anticipated insurance proceeds therefor and the amount of assessment to each dwelling unit if such excess was paid as a maintenance expense and specially assessed against all the dwelling units in proportion to their percentage of interest in the common areas.
    5. The Board of Directors' recommendation as to whether such damage or destruction should be repaired or restored.
  2. Notice of Damage or Destruction The Board of Directors shall promptly, and in all events within ninety (90) days after the date of damage or destruction, provide each dwelling unit Owner with a written notice summarizing the initial Board of Directors determination made under Section 24.1.  If the Board of Directors fails to do so within said ninety (90) days, then any dwelling unit Owner may make the determinations required under Section 24.1 and give the notice required under Section 24.2.
  3. Definitions: Restoration; Emergency Work
    1. As used in this Article 24, the words "repair", "reconstruct", "rebuild" or "restore" shall mean the improvements to substantially the same condition in which they existed prior to the damage or destruction, with each dwelling unit and the condominium common and limited common areas having substantially the same vertical and horizontal boundaries as before.  Modifications to conform to then applicable governmental rules and regulations or available means of construction may be made.
    2. As used in this Article 24, the term "emergency work" shall mean that work which the Board of Directors deems reasonably necessary to avoid further damage, destruction or substantial diminution in value to the improvements and to reasonably protect the Owners from liability from the condition of the site.
  4. Restoration By Board of Directors
    1. Unless prior to the commencement of repair and restoration work (other than emergency work referred to in subsection 24.3.2) the dwelling unit Owners shall have decided not to repair and reconstruct, in accordance with the provisions of either subsection 24.5.3 or 24.6.3, the Board of Directors shall promptly repair and restore the damage and destruction, use the available insurance proceeds therefor, and pay for the actual cost of repair and restoration in excess of insurance proceeds secured as a common expense which shall be specially assessed against all dwelling units in proportion to their percentages of interest in the condominium common areas.
    2. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to employ architects and attorneys, advertise for bids, let contracts to contractors and others, and to take such other action as is reasonably necessary to effectuate the repair and restoration.  Contracts for such repair and restoration shall be awarded when the Board of Directors, by means of insurance proceeds and sufficient assessments, has provision for the cost thereof.  The Board of Directors may further authorize the insurance carrier to proceed with repair and restoration upon satisfaction of the Board of Directors that such work will be appropriately carried out.
    3. The Board of Directors may enter into a written agreement in recordable form with a reputable financial institution or trust or escrow company that such firm or institution shall act as an insurance trustee to adjust and settle any claim for such loss in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), or for such firm or institution to collect the insurance proceeds and carry out the provisions of this Article.
  5. Limited Damage; Assessment Under $3,500 If the amount of the estimated assessment determined under subsection 24.1.4 does not exceed Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500) for any one dwelling unit, then the provisions of this Section 24.5 shall apply:
    1. The Board of Directors may, but shall not be required to, call a special Owners' meeting to consider such repair and restoration work, which notice shall be given simultaneously with the notice required to be given by the Board of Directors under Section 24.2 above.  If the Board of Directors shall fail to call such meeting, then the requisite number of dwelling unit Owners, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice given by the Board of Directors under Section 24.2 above, or the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, whichever is less, may call such special Owners' meeting to consider such repair and restoration work.  Any meeting called for under this Section 24.5.1 shall be convened not less than ten (10) nor more than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice of meeting.
    2. Except for emergency work, no repair and restoration work shall be commenced until after the expiration of the notice period set forth in Section 24.5.1 and until after the conclusion of said special meeting if such meeting is called within said requisite period.
    3. A unanimous written decision of the dwelling unit Owners will be required to avoid the provisions of subsection 24.4.1 and to determine not to repair and restore the damage and destruction in accordance with the original plans, as amended by subsequent amendments, if any; provided, that the failure of the Board of Directors or the requisite number of dwelling unit Owners to call for a special meeting at the time or in the manner set forth in Section 24.5 shall be deemed a unanimous decision to undertake such work.
  6. Major Damage; Assessment over $3,500 If the amount of estimated assessment determined under subsection 24.1.4 exceeds Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500) for any one dwelling unit, then the provisions of this Section 24.6 shall apply:
    1. The Board of Directors shall promptly, and in all events within ninety (90) days after the date of damage or destruction, provide written notice of a special Owners' meeting to consider repair and restoration of such damage or destruction, which notice shall be delivered with the notice required to be provided under Section 24.2 above.  If the Board of Directors fails to do so within said ninety (90) day period, then notwithstanding the provisions of any Governing Documents with respect to calling special meetings, any Owner may within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the ninety (90) day period, or receipt of the notice required to be provided by the Board of Directors under Section 24.2 above, whichever is less, call a special meeting of the Owners to consider repair and restoration of such damage or destruction by providing written notice of such meeting to all Owners.  Any meeting held pursuant to this Section 24.6 shall be called by written notice and shall be convened not less than ten (10) nor more than twenty (20) days from the date of such notice of meeting.
    2. Except for emergency work, no repair and restoration work shall be commenced until the conclusion of the special Owners' meeting required under subsection 24.6.1.
    3. A concurrence in writing of more than eighty percent (80%) of the Owners of the individual dwelling units will be required to avoid the provisions of Section 24.4 and to determine not to repair and restore the damage and destruction; provided, however, that the failure to obtain said eighty percent (80%) concurrence in writing shall be deemed a decision to rebuild and restore the damage and destruction in accordance with the original plans, as amended by subsequent amendments, if any; provided, further, that the failure of the Board of Directors or Owners to convene the special meeting required under Section 24.6.1 within the time period herein, be deemed a unanimous decision not to undertake such repair and restoration work.
  7. Decision Not to Restore; Disposition In the event of a decision under either subsections 24.5.3 or 24.6.3 not to repair and restore damage and destruction, the Board of Directors may nevertheless extend such of the insurance proceeds and common funds as the Board of Directors deems reasonably necessary for emergency work (which emergency work may include, but is not necessarily limited to, removal of the damaged or destroyed buildings and clearing, if any), and the property shall thereafter be held and distributed as follows:
    1. The property shall be owned in common by the Owners and shall not longer be subject to this Declaration or to condominium ownership;
    2. The undivided interest in the property owned in common which appertains to each dwelling unit shall be the percentage of undivided interest previously owned by such Owner in the common areas and facilities;
    3. Any mortgages or liens affecting any of the dwelling units shall be deemed transferred in accordance with the existing priorities to the percentage of the undivided interest of the Owner in the property as provided herein; and
    4. The property shall be subject to an action for partition at the suit of any Owner, in which event the net proceeds of sale, together with the net proceeds of the insurance of the property, if any, shall be considered as one fund; such fund shall be divided into separate shares one for each Owner in a percentage equal to the percentage of undivided interest owned by each such Owner in the property; then, after first paying out of the respective share of each Owner, to the extent sufficient for the purpose, all mortgages and liens on the undivided interest in the property owned by such Owner, the balance remaining in each share shall then be distributed to each Owner respectively.
  8. Miscellaneous The provisions of this Article 24 shall constitute the procedure by which a determination is made by the Owners to repair, restore, reconstruct or rebuild.  By the act of accepting an interest in the property, each Owner and party claiming by, through or under such Owner hereby consents and agrees to the provisions hereof.  In the even that any provision of this Article 24 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Declaration.  The purpose of this Article 24 shall be to provide a fair and equitable method of allocating the costs of repair and restoration and making a determination for repair and restoration if all or a portion of the improvements are damaged or destroyed.  The provisions of this Article 24 shall be liberally construed to accomplish such purpose.  By unanimous vote of the Owners, which vote shall be taken within one hundred (100) days after the damage or destruction the Owners may determine to do otherwise than provided in this Article 24.

ARTICLE 25 - CONDEMNATION

  1. Consequences of Condemnation. If at any time or times during the continuance of the condominium owner­ship pursuant to this Declaration, all or any part of the property shall be taken or condemned by any public authority or sold or otherwise disposed of in lieu of or in advance thereof, the provisions of this Article 25 shall apply.
  2. Proceeds All compensation, damages, or other proceeds therefrom, the sum of which is hereinafter called the "Condemnation Award", shall be payable to the Inner Harbor Village Condominium Association.
  3. Complete Taking In the event that the entire property is taken or condemned, or sold or otherwise disposed of in lieu of or in avoidance thereof, the condominium ownership pursuant thereto shall terminate. The Condemnation Award shall be apportioned among the Owners in proportion to the respective undivided, interest in the condominium common area; provided, that if a standard different from the value of the property as a whole is employed to measure the Condemnation Award in the negotiation, judicial decree, or otherwise, then in determining such shares the same standard shall be employed to the extent it is relevant and applicable. On the basis of the foregoing principal, the Board of Directors shall as soon as practicable determine the share of the Condemnation Award to which each Owner is entitled.  After first paying out of the respective share of each Owner, to the extent sufficient for the purpose, all mortgages, and liens on the interest of such Owner, the balance remaining in each share shall then be distributed to each Owner respectively.
  4. Partial Taking In the event that less than the entire property is taken or condemned, or sold or otherwise disposed of in lieu of or in avoidance thereof, the condominium ownership hereunder shall not terminate. Each Owner shall be entitled to a share of the Condemnation Award to be determined in the following manner:
    1. As soon as practicable the Board of Directors shall, reasonably and in good faith, allocate the Condemnation Award between compensation, damages, or other proceeds.
    2. The Board of Directors shall apportion the amounts so allocated to taking of or injury to the condominium common areas or condominium limited common areas which in turn shall be apportioned among Owners in proportion to their respective undivided interests in the condominium common areas.
    3. The total amount allocated to severance damages shall be apportioned to those dwelling units which were not taken or condemned.
    4. The respective amounts allocated to the taking or injury to a particular dwelling unit and/or improvements an Owner had made within his own dwelling unit shall be apportioned to the particular dwelling unit involved.
    5. The amount allocated to consequential damages and any other takings or injuries shall be apportioned as the Board of Directors determines to be equitable in the circumstances.
    6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an allocation of the Condemnation Award is already established in negotiation, judicial decree, or other­wise, then in allocating the Condemnation Award the Board of Directors shall employ such allocation to the extent it is relevant and applicable.

ARTICLE 26 - PROCEDURES FOR SUBDIVIDING OR COMBINING

    2.

    3. The changes in the Declaration, Plans and Survey Map, if any, shall be placed of record as amendments, with the Owner proposing the changes to incur the expenses associated therewith.
