Countryside Lake Association

RULES AND REGULATIONS

COOPERATION BY ALL MEMBERS IS IMPORTANT TOWARD MAINTAINING A HEALTHY, FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE IN THE USE AND ENJOYMENT OF THE LAKE, BEACH, PICNIC, AND OTHER RECREATION AREAS. SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES TO THE RULES SHOULD BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COUNTRYSIDE LAKE ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT ANY OF ITS MEETINGS.

The property deed Agreement Creating Countryside Lake Association and the By-Laws of the Countryside Lake Association (hereafter referred to as CLA) describe privileges and restrictions that are available to and govern property owners within the association. Under the authority of the CLA Board of Directors, however, it is necessary to adopt more specific regulations to clarify what is expected of the members and their guests.

The following list of rules is not all inclusive. Situations may arise that require the enactment of additional rules. It is therefore recommended that any questionable activity be brought to the CLA Board of Directors for its approval. It will be the board’s position to make any new rule retroactive to the action/situation that required the creation of the rule.

I. MEMBERS’ PRIVILEGES

Members who are not delinquent in the payment of annual dues and other assessments are entitled to the use of the lake, beach, picnic, tennis court, boat docks and racks, trail easements, and other recreational areas. These privileges are extended to members of the immediate family who live in the same household. Immediate family members who no longer reside at home must carry a Guest Pass with them or display the Guest Pass on the dashboard of their vehicle parked on CLA property.

II. AUTOMOBILES

Each year, upon payment of annual dues, members are supplied with dated and numbered windshield stickers for each member-owned vehicle. Each sticker is assigned to a specific vehicle and must be affixed to the lower-left corner of the driver’s-side windshield. Guest cars are identified by placement of the Guest Pass face up on the dashboard of the car.

1. Cars on CLA property either failing to display a CLA sticker affixed to the windshield or cars failing to display a Guest Pass on the dashboard are subject to being towed from the Countryside Lake area at the owner’s expense.

2. No automobiles are permitted on the frozen lake.

III. BOATS

Only boats owned by a member in good standing are allowed on the lake. Guest boats of any type are not permitted on the lake.

A. Registration

1. Boats must carry a CLA registration number and two (2) Countryside Lake decals supplied by the Boats and Docks Committee. The decals should be displayed on each side of the prow of the boat along with the CL number.

2. Unidentified boats will be removed from the lake and shore area.

3. Boats on Countryside Lake must also display State of Illinois decals and registration numbers.

B. Boat Types and Motors

1. Boat types allowed are pontoon boats (i.e., those having two pontoons, not a “V”-shaped deck boat); the Escape “Cruz” electric-motor pontoon of 13’2” length; rowboats; canoes; paddleboats; inflatable boats; and sail boats. Any other type of craft may not be registered or put on, under, or over the water without prior CLA Board of Directors approval.

2. Rowboats and canoes may be equipped with one motor per boat not exceeding 7 ½ horsepower.

3. Inflatable boats may be equipped with a 12-volt electric motor only.

4. Pontoon boats between 18 feet and 24 feet (maximum length) may be equipped with a motor not exceeding 15 horsepower. Pontoon boats smaller than 18 feet may have a motor not exceeding 10 horsepower.

5. Modification of oversized engines with governors or other devices to curtail the horsepower is not permitted. Modifications and performance tuning with governors or other devices to increase the horsepower is not permitted.

C. Boat Use Restrictions

1. All boats must be equipped with life vests that are age suitable for each individual on the boat.

2. All boats must comply with all applicable state registration and safety requirements.

3. All boats must be operated in a safe and responsible manner.

4. Boating is not permitted within 25 feet of the swimming area.

5. Boats are not to be beached or operated in the swimming or sand beach areas.

6. The two (2) docks on each side of the sand beach are for temporary mooring in order to load and unload only.

7. Jet skis, wave-runners and other like motorized personal watercraft are not allowed on the lake.

8. Three association areas are designated for non-lakeshore members’ small-boat storage. These are the boat racks in the beach area, the boat racks at the tennis court, and sailboat spaces at the beach. Only boats with an assigned rack space (for canoes, rowboats, and paddleboats) or assigned sail boat storage will be permitted to remain on CLA property. All other boats are required to be removed daily.

IV. ZEBRA MUSSELS

Any boats, boat engines, boat anchors and lines, boat trailers, bait buckets, beach toys, or anything that has been in another lake or contains water from another body of water (especially Lake Michigan) must be inspected and cleaned by owners before insertion into or placement nearCountryside Lake. Each owner must flush thoroughly all boat hulls, engines (including cooling systems), boat anchors and lines, boat trailer frames and lights, boat bilges, anchor compartments, bait wells, bait buckets, compartments, coolers, toys, or anything that came in contact with the water of another lake, with hot water of 135 to 145 degrees F. or, alternatively, flush all of the above with a salt solution (1/2 cup of salt per gallon of hot water) followed by a fresh water flush to prevent corrosion from the salt residue. Note: Boat owners must inform their launch service companies of these requirements to insure boat trailers are properly cleaned before use at Countryside Lake.

V. BOAT DOCKS AND BOAT RACKS

A. Privately-Owned Docks

1. Members are required to obtain prior written permission from the CLA Board of Directors to construct boat docks on the lake and shore area.

2. Docks must be of the portable removable type extending no further than 24 feet from the shoreline.

B. Association-Owned Docks and Boat Storage

1. Only one boat per member family is allowed to be stored on CLA property.

2. The right to utilize the CLA pontoon boat piers, small-boat storage racks, and beach sailboat storage area is provided only to non-lakeshore members. If a non-lakeshore member currently has a rental rack, dock, or beach sailboat assignment and acquires a lakefront lot, the right to utilize CLA-owned boat facilities is immediately lost. A waiting list will be kept and any member on the waiting list for a pontoon pier, small-boat storage rack, or beach sailboat assignment who acquires lakefront property will have his/her name removed from the waiting list.

3. The annual rental is available only to members in good standing. The Board of Directors may elect to revoke or refuse to renew the rental space to a member for non-payment of dues, rental fee, or violations of any of the CLA Rules and Regulations.

4. Boat rental piers, racks, and beach sailboat storage area are owned and maintained by CLA and the space assigned to any individual is non-transferable. Under no circumstances may the pier renter, rack renter, or beach sailboat storage renter lease, assign, or loan the pier, rack, or beach assignment to anyone else.

5. A CLA member who rents/leases his home may not transfer CLA dock, rack, or beach sailboat space to the renter of the home. Home renters will not be permitted to have their names on the CLA waiting list for a boat pier, rack, or beach sailboat assignment. Home renters may utilize the member’s boat with the member’s permission by using the Guest Pass.

6. All boats must be moored or stored in the space assigned.

7. There is an annual Boat Storage Rack fee, a Sailboat Beach Storage fee, and a Pontoon Boat Rental Pier fee that are payable on or before February 1^st of each year. The amounts of such fees are established by the CLA Board of Directors.

8. A Waiver of Claims and Hold Harmless Agreement is to be signed each year by each member holding a Pontoon Boat Rental Pier assignment. This waiver must be included with the pontoon pier rental fee payment.

9. Pontoon boats at CLA rental piers must be in good condition and seaworthy, must be properly secured, and either covered or cleaned of all debris. Deteriorating conditions, i.e., dry-rot of tie-downs, disrepair, loose trash, and otherwise unsightly conditions will lead to loss of assigned pier space.

10. Failure to moor a pontoon boat in the assigned Pontoon Boat Rental Pier space by July 1 of any year will result in the loss of the rental pier space, except for the first year of a new renter’s assignment.

11. No more than three (3) sail boats are allowed at the beach location. A waiting list will be kept and any member on the waiting list who acquires lakefront property will have his/her name removed from the waiting list.

12. Storage and Mooring Seasonal Restrictions

a. Boats on CLA boat racks are permitted year-round storage.

b. Pontoon boats at CLA rental piers are permitted mooring from May 1 to November 1 and must be moored only at the pier assigned.

c. Sail boats are allowed to be stored on CLA property at the designated beach location from May 15 to November 1 upon approval of the Boats and Docks Committee and payment of an annual storage fee.

C. Pontoon Boat Dock Waiting List

1. There is a waiting list for Pontoon Boat Rental Piers. Any CLA member in good standing who is a non-lakeshore owner may request addition to the waiting list by writing to the CLA Boats and Docks Committee Chairperson. An acknowledgement will be sent to the member to confirm inclusion on the waiting list.

2. The CLA reserves the right to place itself at the top of the Pontoon Boat Rental Pier waiting list.

3. When a member has been offered a Pontoon Boat Rental Pier space and accepts such space, he has until the following July 1 to obtain and moor a pontoon boat at the assigned pier.

4. Shared Interest Regulations

If the renter of a Pontoon Boat Rental Pier, or an individual on the waiting list, shares ownership with another CLA member in a boat to be stored at a CLA Pontoon Boat Rental Pier, the following Shared Interest Regulations will apply.

It is not the intent of the CLA Board of Directors or the CLA Boats and Docks Committee to manage or monitor shared ownership interest in pontoon boats as it relates to CLA Pontoon Boat Rental Piers. Shared boat ownership does not assign any Pontoon Boat Rental Pier rights to someone other than the member to whom that pier was initially assigned by CLA.

The member to whom a pier was assigned by CLA is the pier holder of record. However, the CLA Board would consider a written request for an exception when there is a shared interest in boat ownership under the following sequential conditions:

a. The pier holder of record (primary member) has a shared boat ownership with another CLA member (secondary member).

b. The secondary member has placed his/her name on the CLA Pontoon Boat Rental Pier waiting list.

c. The secondary member becomes next in line to be offered a Pontoon Boat Rental Pier of his/her own.

d. At the time of offer the secondary member has the following options:

· Accept a pier of his/her own and dock a boat of his/her own at that pier, or

· Decline a pier of his/her own and have his/her name rotated to the bottom of the Pontoon Boat Rental Pier waiting list, or

· Decline a pier of his/her own because he/she prefers to continue with an existing shared boat ownership arrangement and request in writing to the CLA Board for a “Shared Limited Right” in the primary member’s pier assignment.

In the event the CLA Board of Directors grants a Shared Limited Right as requested in C.4.d. above:

· The secondary member’s name would be rotated to the bottom of the Pontoon Boat Rental Pier waiting list.

· The initial holder of the pier continues to be the primary member to whom the pier is assigned. The member requesting the Shared Limited Right becomes the secondary holder of the pier.

· If the primary holder of the pier subsequently moves, sells, or otherwise relinquishes the pier, then the secondary member with the Shared Limited Right becomes the primary pier renter and his name is removed from the Pontoon Boat Rental Pier waiting list.

No other actions will be considered.

The secondary member who is granted the Shared Limited Right recognizes that he/she is at risk of losing this right if there is a conflict between parties. In such an event, the primary member retains all rights to the Pontoon Boat Rental Pier and the secondary member retains his/her current position on the Pontoon Boat Rental Pier waiting list.

VI. GUEST PRIVILEGES

Upon payment of annual dues and other assessments, each member receives a Guest Pass dated for the current year, which may be used to extend the member’s privileges to a guest.

1. Use of CLA facilities by a non-member without a Guest Pass is prohibited.

2. A non-member not carrying a Guest Pass or not displaying a Guest Pass on his vehicle will be evicted from CLA property.

VII. RECREATIONAL HOURS

3. The lifeguard will not perform “child care” or other personal tasks for members and guests.

4. Safeguarding lives in the water is the lifeguard’s primary duty. The authority to evict persons from the beach area goes with this responsibility. Those failing to obey the guard will lose their beach privileges.

5. The lifeguard and/or CLA Security has the authority to close the beach and to order all persons from the water due to adverse or threatening weather, overcrowding, temporary absence of the lifeguard, or other reasons.

B. Picnics

1. Picnics are permitted in the designated areas only and are not allowed on the sand beach.

XVII. AIRCRAFT

No aircraft may land or take off within CLA boundaries.

XVIII. TV SATELLITE DISHES

1. Satellite dishes larger than 24” in diameter may not be placed without prior CLA Board of Directors approval and never within 100 feet of the shoreline or within 100 feet of any road easement.

2. A building permit must be obtained from the Lake County Building Department.

3. The area surrounding the satellite dish must be landscaped so as to minimize or totally restrict its view from surrounding members and passing vehicles.

XIX. FERTILIZER USE

Lawn and garden fertilizer used by members of CLA must have 0% phosphorus content.

XX. SHORE AREA

Section 3 of the Agreement Creating Countryside Lake Association gives CLA the “right, privilege and easement to ... (6) establish and enforce through the Board of Directors, rules and regulations relating to erosion control, drainage, and other activities relating to the Lake and to control the use and enjoyment of the Lake Area and Shore Area ...”

The CLA Board recognizes the desire of lakefront property owners to landscape their properties including the Shore Area (100’ easement). The CLA Board also recognizes the need to maintain a healthy lake and to support wildlife habitat within the Shore Area.

The primary purpose of this policy is to stop shoreline erosion and to maintain and improve the health of our lake.

A. Landscaping within the Shore Area

1. No landscaping project of any kind is allowed in the Shore Area without prior written CLA Board approval.

2. A “natural look” (see note*) including naturally occurring growth and retention of as many of the existing trees and shrubs as possible is required.

“No matter what its size or where it is located, a natural landscape requires an understanding of the unique environmental conditions of its site and the environmental requirements of the plants that are indigenous to that area. These two elements are keys to natural landscaping. Unless it stems directly from the ecological characteristics of the site, and unless it uses native plants, a landscape isn’t natural.” – Carol A. Smyser, Nature’s Designs – A Practical Guide to Natural Landscaping.

3. Fertilizer used by members of CLA must have 0% phosphorus content.

4. The use of turf grass as ground cover in more than 25% of the Shore Area which borders the shoreline is strongly discouraged. Maintenance of turf grass requires the use of fertilizers that can pollute the lake and stimulate lake weed growth. Alternatives to turf grass include broadleaf ground covers, wildflower meadows, and native prairie plants.

5. No live trees 6” in diameter or larger may be removed without the prior written approval of the CLA Board.

6. No water may be taken or diverted from the lake for any reason including use for lawn or garden watering.

7. Manure and/or compost piles may not be located on a lakefront lot so as to allow runoff from them to flow across the Shore Area into the lake.

8. Nothing should be done that would prevent an unencumbered walkable pathway through the Shore Area.

9. Silt fencing must be erected prior to beginning work on a landscape project within the Shore Area in a location that will protect the lake from soil runoff.

B. Shoreline

The CLA Board of Directors has adopted policy and procedure requiring homeowners to use bio-engineered erosion and pollution controls on the shoreline. Bio-engineering combines structural design with the use of vegetation for shoreline stabilization and erosion control. There are several common bio-engineering methods available. Choosing among them is not an either/or proposition: more often than not a combination of two or more methods is more appropriate than any single method. The primary purpose of an engineered shoreline should be first and foremost to prevent erosion of the shoreline.

1. No shoreline project or construction of any kind is allowed without prior written CLA Board approval.

2. The CLA Board requires:

a. The use of native aquatic and terrestrial plantings.

b. The use of strategically placed outcroppings of rock.

c. The use of woody riparian brush or shrubs.

3. Vertical walls constructed of steel, concrete, timber, plastic, brick, flat stone, or any other materials are prohibited. Such walls reflect wave action back into the lake where sediment from the lake bottom (which contains phosphorous) is stirred up and inspires weed growth.

C. Shore Area Procedures

1. Present to the CLA Board of Directors a plan for a landscape project and/or a shoreline protection or restoration project.

a. For shoreline projects:

· Contact the Army Corps of Engineers for permit authorization of preliminary design plans.

· Obtain permits from the Lake County Department of Zoning.

· Present a final plan to the CLA Board for written approval.

2. Upon the CLA Board’s approval, inform the Board of the project’s start date.

3. Ongoing inspection of work by the CLA Board or its representative.

The Board asks that plans be submitted well in advance of an anticipated start date. While turnaround time will be a priority of the Board, the exchange of all necessary information between homeowners and the CLA Board can be time consuming. Timely submission of preliminary plans by the owner will support an expedited process.

Failure to abide by these rules and these procedures subjects the property owner to loss of membership rights and any cost of correction of the violation as directed by the Board, provided a reasonable time has been given the member to appeal the CLA Board’s ruling. The CLA Board reserves the right to take all necessary corrective action if a shoreline is altered or constructed without prior written approval of the CLA Board.

D. Continuing Violations

Members who have continuing violations and/or unpaid fines will be subject to revocation of membership rights for as long as such violations and/or unpaid fines continue. Upon written notice to the member, use of CLA facilities thereafter may constitute illegal trespass and the CLA Board of Directors may pursue such charges with the appropriate authorities.

E. Other Remedies

In the event of any violation of the covenants in the Agreement Creating the Countryside Lake Association, CLA By-Laws, and/or these Rules and Regulations, the CLA Board of Directors reserves the right to pursue any and all remedies, both legal and equitable, to compel enforcement. For violations involving motor vehicles and/or boats on CLA property, towing or removal from CLA property is a remedy available to the CLA Board. All repair, replacement, or maintenance costs incurred by CLA, as a result of a violation by a member or member’s guest, shall be assessed to the offending member at the time the cost of such repair, replacement, or maintenance is incurred. Any and all costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the association for enforcement proceedings and collection of unpaid fines shall be charged to the offending member.
