SCANNED FROM

in person or by proxy, provided a quorum is present at the beginning
of the meeting.
Section 3.3.
Place of Meetings. Meetings shall be at the
Condominium or other suitable location within a three-mile radius of
the Condominium, as determined by the Board of Directors and at a time
set by the Board.
Section 3.4.
Notice of Meetings. It shall be the duty of the
president or secretary of the Board to send by first class mail or
cause to be hand delivered a notice of each annual or regularly
scheduled meeting of the Association, unless otherwise specified or
allowed by the Act, at least twenty-one (21) but not more than sixty
(60) days prior~ to such meeting, and of each special meeting of the
Association at least seven (7) days prior to such meeting, but not
more than sixty (60) days, stating the purpose thereof, and the time
and place where it is to be held, to each unit owner of record, at the
address each unit owner shall have designated by notice in writing to
the Board of Directors or its designee. If hand delivered, as long as
so required by the Act, the officer must certify in writing that such
notice was delivered to the person of the unit owner. The mailing of a
notice of meeting in the manner provided in this Section shall be
considered service of notice.
Section 3.5.
Waiver of Notice. Waiver of notice of meeting of
the Association shall be deemed the equivalent of proper notice. Any
unit owner may file with the Board of Directors a written waiver of
notice of any meeting of the unit owners, either before or after such
meeting. Attendance at a meeting by a unit owner, whether in person or
by proxy, shall be deemed waiver by such unit owner of notice of the
time, date and place thereof unless the unit owner specifically
objects to lack of proper notice at the time the meeting is called to
order. Attendance at a special meeting shall also be deemed waiver of
notice of all business transacted unless objection to lack of notice
is raised before the business, of which proper notice was not given,
is put to a vote.
Section 3.6.
Quorum. Except as otherwise provided in the Act
or the Condominium Instruments, the representation in person or by
proxy of those unit owners holding twenty-five percent (25%) of the
eligible votes of the Condominium shall constitute a quorum. If,
however, a quorum shall not be present at any meeting, the unit owners
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have
power to adjourn the meeting to a time not less than forty-eight (48)
hours after the originally scheduled time.

!5

SCANNED FROM
ORIGINAL
Section 3.7.
Adjournment. Any meeting of the unit owners may
be adjourned from time to time for periods not less than forty-eight
(48) hours by vote of the unit owners holding the majority of the
eligible votes represented at such meeting, regardless of whether a
quorum is present. Any business which could be transacted properly at
the original session of the meeting may be transacted at an adjourned
session provided that a quorum is obtained. No additional notice of
such adjourned session shall be required.
Section 3.8.

Voting.

(a) Each unit shall be entitled to the vote appertaining


thereto which may be cast by the unit owner or by lawful proxy, as
provided below. Each unit is hereby allocated a vote in accordance
with the percentage set forth in Article 12 of the Declaration. At
every meeting of the members, each member shall have the right to cast
the vote appurtenant to each unit owned. The vote of the members
constituting the majority of the eligible votes represented at such
meetings, in person or by proxy, shall decide any question brought
before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express
provision of statute, the Declaration or these Bylaws, a different
vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern
and control. No votes assigned to Condominium units owned by the
Association shall be cast pursuant to Section 55-79.77 (f) of the Act,
unless the Act is amended to allow such votes to be cast.
(b) When more than one person owns a unit, the vote for
such unit shall be exercised as they between or among themselves
determine, but in no event shall more than the allocated vote be cast
with respect to any unit. If any one of multiple owners purports to
cast the vote appertaining to a unit, the consent of any other owners
shall be conclusively presumed unless a protest is made forthwith to
the person presiding over the meeting. In the event of disagreement
among multiple owners and an attempt by two or more of them to cast
such vote or votes, such persons shall not be recognized and such vote
or votes shall not be counted.
(c) A chairperson and inspectors of the election shall be
appointed by the Board of Directors to count votes and their
appointment shall be ratified by the unit owners at the meeting of the
Association.
(d) No unit owner or Board member shall be eligible to
vote, either in person or by proxy, or be elected to the Board of
Directors, if (i) that unit owner is more than sixty (60) days
delinquent in any payment due the Association or if a lien has been

!6

SCANNED FROM
ORIGINAL
filed in accordance with the Act and the amount necessary to release
the lien has not been paid by the time of the meeting; (ii) the owner
has not supplied the information required under Article 3, Section
3.11, of these Bylaws, or (iii) if the owners voting rights have been
suspended under the provisions of the Act, these Bylaws or the rules
and regulations.
(e)

There shall be no cumulative voting.

Section 3.9.
Proxies. The votes appertaining to any unit may
be cast pursuant to a proxy executed by or on behalf of the unit
owner, or, in cases where the unit owner is more than one person, by
or on behalf of all such persons, provided the unit owners are
entitled to vote. A proxy need not be a unit owner. An owner, person
or a Board member may vote more than one (1) proxy. No proxy shall be
revocable except by actual notice to the person presiding over the
meeting by the unit owner(s) that the proxy is revoked. To be valid,
a proxy must be in writing and filed with the Secretary prior to the
first vote at the meeting for which it is to be used. Any proxy shall
be void if it is not dated, if it purports to be revocable without
notice as aforesaid, or if the signatures of any of those executing
the same has not been witnessed by a person who shall sign his full
name and address. A person designated as a proxy may be appointed to
vote either as directed by a unit owner or to vote without specific
direction on any matters of business that properly come before the
Association. Presence of the owner at the meeting for which a proxy
is given shall be deemed actual notice and shall automatically revoke
the proxy. Any proxy shall terminate automatically upon the final
adjournment and conclusion of the meeting for which it was issued
unless specifically written and issued for a longer period of time.
Section 3.10.
Consents. Any action which may be taken by a
vote of the unit owners may also be taken without a meeting by
written consent of those unit owners who hold the requisite
percentage of votes necessary to decide an issue pursuant to these
Bylaws.
Section 3.11.
Roster of Unit Owners. The Association or its
delegate shall maintain a current roster of names and addresses of
each unit owner to which notice of meetings of the Association shall
be sent. Each unit owner shall, within ten (10) days after moving or
after acquiring title to the unit, furnish the Association or its
delegate with his name and current mailing address. No unit owner may
vote at meetings of the Association until this information is
furnished.

Bylaws, rulings of the president or other rules hereafter adopted by
the Board or the Association for the conduct of meetings. Provided,

requirements set forth in the Declaration and Bylaws. Nothing in these
documents shall be construed to afford a priority to any unit owner
with respect to the distribution of proceeds to any unit.
The procedure for repair and reconstruction shall be:
(a) Cost Estimates. Immediately after a fire or other
casualty causing damage to the Condominium, the Board of Directors
shall obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the cost of repairing
and restoring the structures (including any damaged unit and excluding
floor and wall coverings, furniture, furnishings, fixtures or
equipment installed by the unit owners) to a condition as good as that
existing before such casualty, if permitted by appropriate
governmental authority. Such costs may also include professional fees

necessary.
(b) Source and Allocation of Proceeds. If the proceeds of
insurance are not sufficient to defray the estimated costs of
reconstruction and repair as determined by the Board of Directors, or
if at any time during the reconstruction and repair or upon completion
of reconstruction and repair, the funds for the payment of the costs
thereof are insufficient, such excess shall be assessed against and
paid by all unit owners in proportion to their percentage interests.
Insurance proceeds shall first be allocated to the cost of repairing
the common elements and the balance to the cost of repairing the
units. If after repair and reconstruction is completed there is a
surplus of funds, such funds shall be placed back into operating funds
for that fiscal year.

!22

SCANNED FROM
ORIGINAL
(c) Encroachments. Encroachments upon or in favor of
units which may be created as a result of such reconstruction or
repair shall not constitute a claim or basis for any proceeding or
action by the unit owner upon whose property such encroachment exists,
provided that such reconstruction was substantially in accordance with
the architectural plans under which the Condominium was originally
constructed. Such encroachments shall be allowed to continue in
existence for so long as the reconstructed building shall stand.
(d) Construction Fund. The net proceeds of the insurance
collected on account of a casualty and the funds collected by the
Association from assessments against unit owners on account of such
casualty shall constitute a construction fund which shall be disbursed
in payment of the cost of reconstruction and repair in the manner set
forth in this Section and as in the Declaration, in appropriate
progress payments to contractors, suppliers, professional fees and
bond premiums as the Board of Directors determines to be necessary.
(e) Insurance Deductibles. If repair or replacement is
required as a result of an insured loss, the amount of the deductible
shall be treated as if it were a maintenance or replacement expense
and shall be paid by the person(s) who would be responsible for such
repair or replacement in the absence of insurance. If the maintenance
responsibility cannot be determined by the Board and if the loss
affects more than one unit or a unit and the common elements, the cost
of the deductible may be apportioned equitably by the Board among the
parties suffering loss in accordance with the total cost of repair or
replacement. Provided, however, if the damage is caused by act,
neglect or carelessness of a party, that party shall bear the full
cost of the deductible.
Section 6.5.

event the Condominium is damaged to the extent of two-thirds of its
then replacement cost or if two-thirds (2/3) or more of the units are

be made in accordance with the Act, and the Declaration if eighty
percent (80*) of the unit owners vote not to proceed with repair and
reconstruction or, if any unit owner brings an action for partition
within a period of sixty (60) days after the date of the damage. If
partition is ordered, any insurance proceeds received on account of
such damage shall be distributed among all unit owners in proportion
to their respective percentage interests, the Condominium shall be
terminated pursuant to Section 55-79.72 of the Condominium Act, and
the net assets of the Condominium together with the net proceeds of
insurance policies, if any, shall be divided by the Board of Directors
and any Insurance Trustee among all unit owners in proportion to their

!23

respective percentage interests, after first paying out of the share
of each unit, to the extent sufficient therefor, the amount of any
unpaid liens on the units in the order of priority of such liens. If
less than two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of units are damaged or
destroyed, it shall be mandatory that the units be repaired and
restored.

reasonable written notice to the unit owner of the Condominium unit
proposed to be maintained, which notice states the Associations
intent to provide such necessary maintenance, repair, or replacement,
at the unit owners sole cost and expense, and setting forth with
reasonable particularity the maintenance, repairs, or replacement

replacement. If any unit owner does not comply with the provisions
hereof, the Association may provide any such maintenance, repair, or
replacement at the unit owners sole cost and expense, and the cost
thereof shall be assessed against the Condominium unit on which such
maintenance or repair is performed and the amount shall become an
assessment due and payable and a continuing lien and obligation of
said unit owner in all respects as provided in Article 8 of these
Bylaws.
(h) Any amount necessary to discharge any lien or
encumbrance levied against the project, or any portion thereof, which

unit owner of an individual Condominium unit.
(i) The cost of all material and labor incident to the
maintenance and/or repair of all exterior paint and/or stain, roof,
exterior doors, gutters and downspouts, and other items of exterior

any bona fide emergency involving manifest danger or damage to
property, illness or potential danger to life, such right of entry
shall be immediate, whether the unit owner is present at the time or
not, at any hour considered to be reasonable under the circumstances
and any damage caused thereby shall be repaired at the expense of the
Association. Provided, however, if such entry is made to perform any
obligation f or which an owner is responsible, such entry and all work
done shall be at the risk and expense of such owner. Each owner shall

Section 8.2.

Creation of the Lien, Personal Obligation


for Assessments and Default.

(a) Each unit owner of any unit, by acceptance of a


deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed,
is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (1) annual
assessments or charges payable as provided in Article 4, Section
4.15(b) and herein, (2) special assessments to be established and
collected as hereinafter provided, and (3) specific assessments
against any particular unit which are established pursuant to the
terms of these Bylaws. Any assessment levied pursuant to these Bylaws,
or any installment thereof, which is not paid within ten (10) days
after it is due shall bear interest at twelve percent (12%) or at the
maximum rate allowed by law if greater. All such assessments together
with administrative costs or charges, interest, late charges, court
costs and reasonable attorneys fees, in the maximum amount permitted
by law, but in no event less than twentyfive percent (25%) of the
unpaid assessment, shall be a charge on the unit and shall be a
continuing lien upon the unit against which each such assessment is
made. Such amounts shall also be the personal obligation of the person
who was the unit owner of such unit at the time when the assessment
fell due. Each unit owner shall be liable for his portion of each
assessment coming due while he is the unit owner of a unit and his
grantee shall be jointly and severally liable for such portion thereof
as may be due and payable at the time of conveyance. However, if a
mortgagee of a first mortgage of record obtains title to the unit as a
result of foreclosure of a first mortgage or through the enforcement
of any other remedies provided f or in its mortgage, such mortgagee,
its successors, and assigns shall not be liable for, and the unit
shall not be subject to, a lien f or the payment of common expenses
due prior to the date of foreclosure or acquisition of title to the
unit by the mortgagee or purchaser pursuant to the foreclosure sale.
Such unpaid share of common expenses due prior to the date of
foreclosure or acquisition of title to the unit by the mortgagee or
purchaser pursuant to the foreclosure sale shall be collectible from
all unit owners, including the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, in
proportion to their units respective percentage interest.
(b) Late charges for unpaid assessments in an amount
determined by the Board shall be imposed for each monthly assessment
in arrears or for such other assessments as the Board may fix. Late
charges may be imposed if the delinquency has continued for at least
ten (10) days. If no amount is otherwise determined by the Board, the
late charge shall be Ten Dollars ($10.00).

!29

SCANNED FROM

(c) Each unit owner is allocated a liability for
common expenses in an amount proportionate to the percentage set out
in Article 12 of the Declaration.
(d) Upon written request to the Board by a unit owner
or prospective purchaser, the Board or its designated agent shall
furnish, within a reasonable time as prescribed by the Act, a
recordable statement setting forth the amount of unpaid assessments
levied against the unit. The Board may impose a reasonable fee as
allowed by the Act for each such statement, and payment shall be a
prerequisite to the issuance of any statement.
(e) Any first mortgagee, at its request, is entitled
to written notification from the Board of Directors of the Association
of any default by the mortgagor of such unit in the performance of the
mortgagors obligations under the Condominium documents which is not
cured within sixty (60) days.
(f) The Association shall have full and complete lien
rights as provided or permitted by the Act.
(g) The lien for unpaid assessments may be foreclosed
in the manner provided by the Act or by suit brought in the name of
the Association or the Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the
Association. During the pendency of such suit, the unit owner shall be
required to pay a reasonable rental for the unit for any period prior
to sale pursuant to any judgment or order of any court having
jurisdiction over such sale. The plaintiff in such proceeding shall
have the right to the appointment of a receiver, if available under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
(h) Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid
assessments shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the
lien securing the same, and foreclosure shall be maintainable
notwithstanding the pendency of any suit to recover a money judgment.
Section 8.3.
Acceleration. If a unit owner shall be in
default of two payments which need not be consecutive, of an
installment of an assessment, not limited to the monthly installments
based on the annual budget, the Board may demand payment of and
accelerate the remaining installments of the annual and special
assessment coming due within that fiscal year which shall constitute a
lien on the unit as provided in this Article 8.

Section 8.4.
Computation of Operating Budget and Assessment.
It shall be the duty of the Board to annually prepare and adopt a
categorized budget, in accordance with the Act, covering the estimated
costs of operating the Condominium during the next fiscal year and
including but not limited to: income, administration, maintenance,
utilities, general expenses, reserves and capital items. The Board
shall cause the proposed budget to be delivered or mailed to each
member at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the new
budget. Provided, however, the Board shall notify each unit owner by
mail or hand delivery of any increase in assessments at least thirty
(30) days in advance of the date the assessment is due. Each unit
owner shall be obligated to pay the Association such assessments
against his unit as are established on the basis of the adopted
budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event the Board
fails for any reason to determine the budget for the succeeding year,
then and until such time as a budget shall have been determined, as
provided herein, the budget and assessments in effect for the current
year shall continue for the succeeding year. Assessments shall be paid
in a manner and on such dates as may be fixed by the Board of
Directors; unless otherwise provided, the assessments shall be paid in
monthly installments due on the first of each month.
Section 8.5.
Special Assessments. If the budgeted assessment
proves inadequate for any year, the Board may, without a membership
vote, at any time levy a special assessment against all unit owners in
accordance with the percentage interest assigned to each unit;
provided, however, except in the event of an emergency where further
damage to the Condominium or a safety and health hazard would result,
if such special assessment is for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of a capital addition, alteration or improvement
necessitating an expenditure of more than ten percent (10%) of the
annual budget in any one fiscal year, any such special assessment
shall be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of those
present, in person or by proxy, at a special or annual meeting of the
members, notice of which shall specify that purpose. Special
assessments shall be payable as determined by the Board provided that
unit owners shall be given at least fourteen (14) days notice before
such assessments are due.
Section 8.6.
Specific Assessments. The Board may levy
specific assessments against any particular unit payable as set forth
in Section 8.2 and as set forth in these Bylaws, including but not
limited to, assessments for failure to comply with maintenance
responsibilities, violation of rules and regulations, damage caused to
the common elements and insurance deductibles.

major repairs and shall annually prepare a capital reserve budget
which shall take into account the number and nature of replaceable
assets, the expected life of each asset, and the expected repair or
replacement cost. The Board shall, within its discretion, set the
required capital contribution, if any, in an amount sufficient to
permit meeting the projected capital needs of the Association, as

foreclosure of the lien f or assessments; suspension of voting or
other rights; assessment of charges; or any other remedy available at
law or in equity, including administrative and court costs and
reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, all of which may be

units and the common elements, provided that copies of all such rules
and regulations shall be furnished to all unit owners who have
furnished the Association with their name and mailing address.
(a) Abating Violations. The violation of any of the
regulations adopted by the Board of Directors, breach of any provision
of the Declaration, Bylaws or the Condominium Act shall give the Board

the Board shall have the power to impose reasonable charges as allowed
by Section 55-79.80(b2) of the Act, as amended, which shall constitute
a lien upon the unit. Each day of a continuing violation may be
considered a separate violation. The Board shall have the discretion
to delegate such powers to a committee established by the Board.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to limit the Associations right to any other
remedies at law or equity available to it to enforce the Declaration,
the Bylaws, resolutions or the rules and regulations of the
Association. The remedies contained herein shall be construed as
cumulative of the Associations other rights of enforcement at law or
in equity or any other remedies available to the Association.

failure of the Association to enforce a provision of this Section, the
Declaration, Bylaws, the Act or any rules on any occasion is not a
waiver of the right to enforce the provision on any other occasion.

Hearing Procedure. As long as required by the
Act, the Board or its committee shall follow the requirements of
Section 55-79.8O(b2) of the Act before imposition of a charge for

execute any deed, lease, mortgage, or instrument conveying or
mortgaging the title to his unit without including therein the
undivided interest of such unit in the common

!39

SCANNED FROM
ORIGINAL
elements, it being the intention hereof to prevent any severance of
such combined ownership. Any such deed, lease, mortgage, or other
instrument purporting to affect one or more of such interests, without
including all such interests, shall be deemed and taken to include the
interest or interests so omitted, even though the latter shall not be
expressly mentioned or described therein. No part of the interests in
the common elements of any unit may be sold, leased, transferred,
given, devised, or otherwise disposed of, except as part of a sale,
lease, transfer, gift, devise, or other disposition of the unit to
which such interests are appurtenant, or as part of the sale, lease,
transfer, gift, devise, or other disposition of such part of the
interests in the common elements of all units.
Section 10.2.
Leases. Units may be rented only in their
entirety; no fraction or portion may be rented. No transient tenants
may be accommodated therein. All leases and lessees are subject to the
provisions of these Bylaws, and shall contain the following provisions
or if the lease does not, shall by this covenant on the property, be
deemed to contain the following provisions. The Board may require use
of a standard form lease or a standard form lease addendum by all
owners who lease their units if so adopted as a rule.
(a) All provisions of the Condominium Instruments
(Declaration, Bylaws, and rules and regulations) for Heritage Knoll
Condominium, which govern the conduct of unit owners and which provide
for sanctions against unit owners also shall apply to each tenant.
Tenants shall abide by and comply with all provisions of the
Condominium Instruments. Owners shall cause all occupants of their
units to comply with the Condominium Instruments, and are responsible
for all violations and losses caused by such occupants,
notwithstanding the fact that such occupants of the unit may be liable
and may be sanctioned for any violation of the Condominium Instruments
in the same manner as a unit owner. In the event that the tenant, or a
person living with the tenant, violates the Condominium Instruments
and a charge is imposed, such charge shall be assessed against the
tenant; provided, however, if the charge is not paid by the tenant
within the time period set by the Board of Directors or its committee,
the unit owner shall pay the charge upon notice from the Association
of the tenants failure to pay the charge. Unpaid charges constitute a
lien against the unit. Any tenant charged with a violation of the
Condominium Instruments is entitled to the same procedure and subject
to the same sanctions to which a unit owner is entitled or subject,
including, but not limited to, civil suit, assessment of charges, and
loss of privileges.

!40

SCANNED FROM
ORIGINAL
(b) Any violation of the Condominium Instruments is
deemed to be a violation of the terms of the lease and authorizes the
unit owner to terminate the lease without liability and to evict the
tenant in accordance with Virginia law. The unit owner hereby
delegates and assigns to the Association, acting through the Board,
the power and authority of enforcement against the tenant for breaches
resulting from violation of the Condominium Instruments, including the
power and authority to evict the tenant on behalf and for the benefit
of the unit owner, in accordance with the terms hereof in the event
the Association acting through the Board elects to exercise this
right. In the event the Association proceeds to evict the tenant, any
costs, including attorneys fees and court costs, associated with the
eviction shall be specifically assessed against the unit and the unit
owner thereof, such being deemed hereby as an expense which benefits
the leased unit and the unit owner thereof.
(c) All rentals must be for an initial term of no
less than six (6) months. Any unit owner who leases his or her unit
must, no later than ten (10) business days after the signing of the
lease, give written notice of such lease, supply a copy of the
executed lease to the Board and provide the Board with such general
information about the lessee as the Board may reasonably require. The
unit owner shall provide to the tenant copies of the Condominium
Instruments, including the Declaration, Bylaws, rules and regulations
and handbook, if any, which shall be available from the management
agent at a reasonable charge.
(d) Leases in effect upon the effective date of this
Amendment which are in compliance with the terms of the original
Bylaws may continue until the expiration of the lease. Any assignment,
extension, renewal, or modification of any rental agreement,
including, but not limited to, changes in the terms or duration of
occupancy shall be considered a new rental agreement which must comply
with the standards and procedures herein set forth.
Section 10.3.
Application. The foregoing provision of Section
10.2 of this Article 10 shall not apply to a mortgagee in possession
of a unit as a result of a foreclosure or other judicial sale or as a
result of a proceeding, arrangement or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure.

proceeding.
Section 11.2.
When Repair and Reconstruction Required. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 11.3 of this Article ii, in the event
of a taking in condemnation of a part of the Condominium, the Board of
Directors shall arrange for and supervise the prompt repair and
restoration of the property in the same manner as set forth in Article
6. The provisions of Section 6.4 of Article 6 shall apply to the
repair and restoration of the Condominium in the same manner as if the
property had been damaged by fire or other casualty. The award made
for the taking shall be payable to the Board of Directors and shall be
disbursed in the same manner as insurance proceeds.
Section 11.3. When Reconstruction Not Required. If (i) sixtysix and twothirds percent (66 2/3%) or more of the entire project
shall be rendered untenantable by a taking, and (ii) members
representing sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) or more of
the total value of the project shall fail to vote in favor of
reconstruction and repair at a meeting called within sixty (60) days
after the taking, then, with the approval in writing within such
sixty (60) day period by the mortgagee or mortgagees holding
mortgages constituting first liens on sixty-six and two-thirds
percent (66 2/3%) of the units subject to mortgages, the Condominium
shall be subject to an action for partition at the suit of any unit
owner or the mortgagee of any unit, as if the Condominium were owned
as tenants in common, in which event the net proceeds of sale shall
be added to the award and the total shall be considered as one fund
which shall be distributed by the Board of Directors among all unit
owners in proportion to the respective percentage interests of their
units, after first paying out of the share of each unit owner, to the
extent sufficient for this purpose, the amount of any unpaid liens on
his unit, in the order of the priority of such liens.
Section 11.4. Effect on Percentage Interests of Units. If
there is a taking in condemnation of part of the Condominium, if the
Condominium is restored pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.2 of
this Article, and if, as a result of the taking, the condemnor is not
obligated to pay assessments for common expenses attributable to the
unit(s), or part(s) thereof so taken, then, effective as of the date

!42

SCANNED FROM

of the taking, the percentage interests of all units remaining after
the taking shall be adjusted in the following manner:
(a) If the taking involves all of one or more units,
the percentage interests of those units shall be reallocated among the
remaining units not taken in proportion to the respective percentage
interests of such units immediately prior to the taking.
(b) If the taking involves a part, but not all, of
one or more units, (i) the percentage interests of each unit which is
involved in the taking shall be reduced to a percentage which bears
the same ratio to the percentage interest of the unit immediately
prior to the taking as the ratio which the square footage of the unit
immediately after the taking bears to the square footage of the unit
immediately prior to the taking, and (ii) the aggregate reduction in
the percentage interest(s) of the unit(s) referred to in clause (i)
shall be reallocated among the remaining units not taken (including
the unit(s) referred to in clause (i)) in proportion to the
respective percentage interests of such units immediately prior to
the taking, except that in the case of the unit(s) referred to in
clause (i), the percentage interest used in this computation shall be
the percentage interest of the unit adjusted in the manner provided
in clause (i). Promptly after the adjustments required by this
Section have been determined, an amendment to the Declaration
reflecting the adjustments shall be executed and acknowledged (in the
manner required by law for the execution and acknowledgment of deeds)
by the President and the Secretary and shall be recorded among the
Land Records of the County of Fairfax, Virginia.
