INFORMATION ABOUT LMCADOCUMENTS
When purchasing a unit in Lakeside Manor Condominium, the
purchaser should become very familiar with the Association’s
Official Documents. The covenants of the Documents govern
many aspects of the way we live in this private community.
The Documents contain the Articles of Incorporation, the Declaration
of Condominium, the By-Laws and several more incidental but
important sections. The Documents authorize the Board of Directors
to make and enforce certain Rules & Regulations. These
R's & R's also govern some aspects of our living at LMC.
The following paragraphs provide some insight to the duties
and responsibilities of the Board of Directors and LMC residents.
The By-Laws on Page 3, Section 5 Powers reads as follows:
“The property and business of the Association shall
be managed by the Board of Administration, which may exercise
all corporate powers not specifically prohibited by statute.
The Articles of Incorporation, or the Declaration. The powers
of the Board of Administration shall specifically include,
but not be limited to the following: Sub-paragraph H. To make
reasonable rules and regulations for the occupancy of the
units and the use of the common elements.”
Declaration of Condominium, Page 6, paragraph (4) The Association
through the Board of Directors has, “The power to adopt
reasonable rules and regulations for the maintenance and conservation
of the condominium property, and for the health, comfort,
safety and welfare of the unit owners, all of whom shall be
subject to such rules and regulations.”
The By-Laws of LMCA, Section 3, on page 13 reads as follows:
“VIOLATIONS. In the event of a violation of the provisions
of the Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws,
which violation is not corrected within ten (10) days after
the notice from the Association to the unit owner to correct
said violation, the Association may take such action as it
may deem appropriate, including the institution of legal action,
to correct the violation. Nothing contained in this Article
shall be construed to require that the Association furnish
notice to any unit owner of his failure to pay any assessment,
sum or other charge due the Association. In the event such
legal action is brought against a unit owner and results in
a judgment for the plaintiff, the defendant shall pay the
plaintiff’s reasonable attorney’s fees and court
costs.”

Reminder - all documents must be legible and full size.
The Declaration of Condominium for LMCA, Article 17, page
10, reads:
REMEDIES FOR VIOLATION, Each unit owner shall be governed
by and conform to this Declaration, the Articles and the By-Laws.
Failure to do so shall entitle the Association or any other
unit owner to recover damages or obtain injunctive relief
or both, but such relief shall not be exclusive of other remedies
provided by law.”
The issuing of the Rules & Regulations to each owner and
resident constitutes a formal notice from the Association
that each owner and each resident is obligated to become familiar
with and comply with the Condominium Documents and the Rules
& Regulations. It is each owner’s responsibility
to inform their residents that they (their residents) are
also required to comply with the covenants of the Condominium
Documents and the Rules & Regulations. Failure to comply
will not relieve the owner or the resident of the responsibility
and will result in a notice to appear before the Fine Review
Committee and a possible fine levied against the unit owner.
All prospective owners and residents are cautioned to read
the R's & R's and all Condominium Documents prior to signing
and binding agreements concerning ownerships of a condo unit
and/or leasing a unit in order to assure the Association that
they can and will abide by the covenants of the Association’s
documents and the Rules & Regulations.
The Rules & Regulations are subject to change by the Association’s
Board of Directors. All residents will be notified of such
changes.

NOISE VIOLATIONS & DOMESTIC VIOLATION
The Association’s Documents require a quiet time during
the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. All residents and their
guests are required to comply with quiet time rule.
Every resident of LMC is entitled to live in peace and quiet
during the night hours. Those who violate the quiet time are
subject to being fined by the Board of Directors.
Here is what you may choose to do when a violation occurs:
1. First remember that it is not always safe to approach a
person who is excited or aggravated over some issue, especially
at night. Don’t try to be the judge and jury and settle
the matter between these persons. Exercise extreme caution
if you do decide to speak with the offenders. They may be
violent when angry.
2. You may choose to make a written report to the management
company giving time, date, unit number and the type of violation.
This will create an official record of the offence. The management
company may write a letter to the offender. This would become
the first notice to the resident of the violation of quiet
time. The letter may notify the resident that the next violation
of quiet time will result in the resident being requested
to appear before the Fine Review Committee.
3. If the situation is severe, call the Winter Park Police
Department immediately to report the incident. When the officer
appears on site, advise him/her of the offense and ask that
a police report be made. Ask the officer to give you his/her
business card with the date and case number written on it.
If you wish to make an anonymous complaint, advise the dispatcher
when you call. The officer will not come to your door.
Don’t wait until things have quieted down. That may
be too late for the officer to make a report. Call immediately!
Winter Park Police Department Non-emergency complaint number
