No person other than a fee simple Owner of a Lot may be a Member of the Association, and a membership in the Association may not be transferred except by the transfer of title to a Lot. 4.02 Voting. The Association shall have two (2) classes of voting membership. The votes aggregated from both voting memberships shall constitute the total outstanding votes available for voting purposes in determining the action of the Association on any matter to be approved by vote (herein "Outstanding Votes"). (a) Class "A". So long as there is Class B membership, "Class A Members" shall be all Owners except the Declarant. The number of votes appurtenant to a Lot owned by a Class A Member shall be computed as follows: The total number of square feet in land area of the Owner's Lot shall be added to the total number of square feet of any Building or Structure measured from the outside walls located upon the Member's Lot to obtain a total gross square footage. The number obtained by dividing such total gross square footage by 1,000 and rounding to the nearest whole number shall be the total number of votes appurtenant to the Owner's Lot (i.e., there shall be no fractional votes). Upon termination of the Class B membership, Class A Members shall be all Owners, including the Declarant (assuming Declarant remains an Owner). If only one of a number of co -owners of a Lot is present at a meeting of the Association, the co-owner who is present shall be entitled to cast all the votes allocated to that Lot. If more than one of the co -owners is present, the votes allocated to that Lot may be cast only in accordance with the agreement of a majority -in -Interest of the co -owners. Majority agreement is conclusively presumed if any one of the co -owners casts the votes allocated to that Lot without protest being made to the person presiding over the meeting by any of the other co -owners of the Lot. (b) Class "B". The "Class B Member" shall be the Declarant. The Class B Member may appoint and remove the members of the Board during the Class B Control Period (as defined herein). During the Class B Control Period, the number of votes allocated to the Class B Member shall be entitled to cast in Association matters shall be determined as follows: The total number of square feet in land area of the portions of the Property and the Additional Property owned by Declarant shall be added to the total number of square feet of any Budding or Structure measured from the outside walls located upon such real property to obtain the Declarant's total gross square footage. The number obtained by (i) dividing the Declarant's total gross square footage by 1,000, (ii) rounding to the nearest whole number (i.e., there shall be no fractional votes) and (in) multiplying such whole number by 3 shall be the total number of votes the Class B Member shall be entitled to cast in Association matters. The Class B membership shall cease to exist and shall automatically be converted to Class A membership upon the termination of the Class B Control Period. For purposes of this Declaration, the "Class B Control Period" shall mean the period beginning on the date of this Declaration and terminating upon the earliest to occur of the following events- (i) the voluntary relinquishment by the Declarant of its right to Class B membership by an instrument recorded in the Registry; 40808v3 IMI: 8 173882 Book 1813Page: 792 (if) the date on which the Declarant no longer owns any portion of the Property or the Additional Property; or (iii) December 31, 2041. (c) The total Outstanding Votes in the Association may vary from time to time depending upon the number of Lots sold by Declarant. A quorum consisting of ten percent (10%) of the Outstanding Votes represented by Members in attendance or by proxy will be necessary to vote on all decisions to be made by the Association pursuant to the terms of its Articles and Bylaws, with a simple majority of the Outstanding Votes then present or represented by proxy being necessary for approval or disapproval of an action of the Association (unless a greater percentage is required by this Declaration or the Articles or Bylaws for any specific action) (d) The Bylaws shall establish reasonable procedures whereby the Association shall, prior to each meeting of the Members, prepare a voting list setting forth the Members entitled to vote together with the number of votes which may be exercised by each Member and the basis upon which the votes were calculated. If requested in writing by a Member, the Association will deliver to such Member annually a copy of the current voting list. 4.03 Executive Board The Board shall be established and maintained in accordance with the Articles, this Declaration and the Bylaws. (a) The number of Directors constituting the initial Board shall be three (3) and the persons who are to serve as the initial Directors shall be appointed by the Declarant and shall be set forth in the initial Articles. (b) The number of Directors shall be not less than three (3) nor more than five (5), as may be fixed or may be changed from time to time at any annual meeting, within the minimum and maximum, by the Members or by the Directors. Each Director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification. (c) Directors shall be elected by a majority vote at any annual meeting of the Members or at a special meeting of the Members of which notice of the purpose to elect one or more Directors has been duly given. The election of Directors shall be a part of the order of business of each annual meeting of the Members. (d) A Director may resign at any time by giving notice of his resignation in writing addressed to the President or Secretary of the Association, or by presenting his written resignation in person at an annual or special meeting of Directors. (e) Directors may be removed from office at any time with or without cause by the Members by the vote that would be required to elect a Director to the Board; provided, however, a Director may not be removed by the Members at a meeting unless the notice of meeting states as a purpose the removal of a Director. If a Director is removed, a new Director may be elected to fill the vacancy at the same meeting. (f) A vacancy occurring in the Board shall be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors (but not less than two) at any regular meeting or special meeting of the Board. 4.04 Inspection of Books and Records. The Board shall establish reasonable procedures whereby the Members are permitted to inspect the books and records of the Association during convenient hours on business days.

The provisions of this Declaration are amplified by the Association's Articles and Bylaws, but no such amplification shall alter or amend substantially any of the rights or obligations of the Owners set forth in this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration on the one hand, and the Articles and Bylaws on the other, shall be interpreted, construed, and applied to avoid inconsistencies or conflicting results. If such conflict necessarily results, however, the provisions of this Declaration shall control anything in the Articles or Bylaws to the contrary. ARTICLE 5— RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION 5.01 The Common Areas Subject to the rights of Owners and Declarant as set forth in this Declaration and excepting the maintenance responsibility for certain stormwater retention facilities described in Section 24.01 hereinafter, the Association has exclusive management and control of the Common Areas and all improvements thereon and all furnishings, equipment and other personal property relating thereto.

The Association also may provide other services, such as, but not limited to, security services as the Association deems appropriate. (b) In the event that the need for maintenance upon or replacement of the Common Areas is caused (i) by construction activities on a Lot by an Owner or its agents or contractors, or (ii) by the willful or negligent acts of any Owner or its agents or contractors, then the cost of such maintenance, replacement or repairs shall be bome exclusively by such Owner, shall be added to and become a part of the assessments to the Lot or Lots of such Owner, and shall constitute a Specific Assessment. (c) To insure continuity and to protect property values, Declarant may in the exercise of its discretion, require that all landscaping be done and performed by the same entity on all Common Areas and all Lots within the property.

It's up to the offsite permits to keep up with. Since the BUA impacted is associated with Lot 3, the permit for Lot 3 really should be the one getting revised. If you can have Mr. Exum and the corporation associated with Lot 3 sign off on the plan revision form, and revise all the documents to reflect Lot 3, 1 can have the plan revision switched to the proper permit number. I've included a pdf of the permit for Lot 3 in case that helps.

All the additional impervious will go to Lot 3. What is the best way to move this forward without holding up the Cape Fear Seafood? Couple ideas: 1) We revise our Waterford Way submittal to only say Lot #3 on the Master Permit plan revision currently under review. 2) We revise our plan to be an exhibit that you can slip into the Lot 3 file showing the minor change in parking. If the Lot 3 owner ever wants to revise or claim the impervious, they can do that in a future submittal and they'll have our exhibit as a reference for the square footage of the new parking island.

In comparing the submittal with the plans approved for SW8 030120 (Waterford Way), SW8 160109 (Lot 2), and SW8 160110 (Lot 3), it looks like there is a discrepancy between the lot lines. Your plans has the improvements impacting both Lots 2 and Lots 3. However, in looking at these approved plans and Brunswick County GIS website, it appears that lot 3 stretches across the entire boundary with the Cape Fear Seafood site. Can you confirm the extent of lot 2 and 3? Also, if these improvements are impacting Lot 3, then the plan revision really should be for the offsite permit for lot 3, SW8 160110, not for the master permit. I can switch which permit is being revised, but I would need updated documents. Other than these larger, overreaching issues, the concept looks fine. I'm also going to try to run out to inspect the site tomorrow afternoon to confirm everything looks good in the field.
