VII. Annexation and Withdrawal of Property

7.1. Annexation Without Approval of Membership

Until all property described on Exhibit “B” has been subjected to this Declaration or ten years after the Recording of this Declaration, whichever is earlier, Declarant may from time to time unilaterally subject to the provisions of this Declaration all or any portion of the real property described in Exhibit “B.” Declarant may transfer or assign the right to annex property, provided that such transfer is memorialized in a written, Recorded instrument executed by Declarant.

Annexation shall be accomplished by Recording a Supplemental Declaration describing the property being annexed. A Supplemental Declaration shall not require the consent of Members, but shall require the consent of the owner of such property, if other than the Declarant. Any such annexation shall be effective upon the filing for Record of such Supplemental Declaration unless otherwise provided therein. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to require Declarant to annex or develop any of the property set forth in Exhibit “B”

7.2. Annexation With Approval of Membership

The Association may annex any real property to the provisions of this Declaration with the consent of the owner of such property, the affirmative vote of Members representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total votes in the Association present in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for such purpose, and the consent of the Declarant so long as the Declarant owns property subject to this Declaration or which may become subject to this Declaration in accordance with Section 7.1 above. Such annexation shall be accomplished by Recording a Supplemental Declaration describing the property being annexed. Any such Supplemental Declaration shall be signed by the President and the Secretary of the Association, and by the owner of the annexed property, and by the Declarant, if the Declarant’s consent is required. Any such annexation shall be effective upon Recordation unless otherwise provided therein.

7.3. Withdrawal of Property

Declarant reserves the right to amend this Declaration so long as it has a right to annex additional property pursuant to Section 7.1, for the purpose of removing any portion of the Community from the coverage of this Declaration, provided such withdrawal is not unequivocally contrary to the overall, uniform scheme of development for the Community. Such amendment shall not require the consent of any Person other than the Owner of the property to be withdrawn, if not Declarant.

7.4. Additional Covenants and Easements

Declarant may subject any portion of the Community to additional covenants and easements by Recording a Supplemental Declaration, concurrent with or after the annexation of the subject property, setting forth such additional covenants and easements. Any such Supplemental Declaration shall require the written consent of the owner(s) of the subject property, if other than Declarant. Any such Supplemental Declaration may supplement, create exceptions to, or otherwise modify the terms of this Declaration as it applies to the subject property in order to reflect the different character and intended use of such property.
