Voting. Unless a greater than simple majority of the membership is specified as being required in the Articles or unless any decision is specified in the Bylaws or this Master Declaration as requiring the approvals of a particular class of members, any provision requiring the vote or approval of the Members shall require the approval of a simple majority of all Member votes present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Members at which a quorum is present. In the event any provision of this Master.Declaration or the Articles or Bylaws require the approval of a particular class of membership of the Master Association shall be deemed to require a simple majority of all votes of the class present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Members at which a quorum of the class is present.
Notice and Quorum.

Assessments. The Master Association shall have the right to levy and collect Common Assessments, Specific Assessments, Special Assessments and Capital Improvement Assessments as provided in this Section.
1. Purpose of Common Assessments. The Common Assessments levied by the Master Association shall be used to promote the common health, safety, benefit, recreation and welfare of the Owners, to meet any obligations imposed on, incurred or assumed by the Master Association, to cover costs, including overhead and administrative costs, for the operation of the Association and the operation, management, maintenance; repair, and replacement of the Common Elements, and to establish impound accounts as may be required by any governmental entity, including, without limitation, the impound account required by that certain Maintenance Agreement among Declarant, the Master Association and Wasatch County recorded contemporaneously with this Master Declaration. The Common Assessments may also be used to establish adequate Reserves for maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Common Elements. Common Assessments shall be levied against each Lot and the Owner thereof, to each then existing platted Super Pad Parcel and to each then existing Unit Neighborhood Association and shall be payable in such manner and at such times, including monthly or quarterly installments, as the Board may determine.
  1. Basis of Common Assessments. The total Common Assessments shall be based upon advance estimates of cash requirements by the Master Association to provide for payment of all estimated expenses growing out of or connected with the operation of the Association and the operation, management, maintenance, and repair of the Common Elements, which estimates may include, among other things, expenses of snow removal, taxes, special assessments, premiums for all insurance which the Master Association is required or permitted to maintain pursuant hereto, repairs and maintenance, wages for Master Association employees; compensation of a manager; legal and accounting fees, the creation of reasonable Reserves, surplus and/or sinking funds for the replacement of capital items and other purposes, and any other expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Master Association for the benefit of the Owners. Common Assessments shall be made on a calendar year basis. The amount of the Common Assessments shall beinitially proposed by the Board, and presented to a meeting of the Owners for approval. Notice of the proposed assessment for the ensuing year shall accompany the notice of the meeting, and shall be mailed to each Owner not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date set for said meeting. Said notice shall also set forth the estimated Assessment Percentage of each Owner for the calendar year covered by said assessments, determined as provided in Section 3.24. Common Assessments representing particular cost items may, but shall not be required to, be allocated to particular Lots or Unit Neighborhood Associations, depending on the extent of benefit received by the particular Lots or Unit Neighborhood Associations in question (as determined by the Board in the exercise of its discretion), and therefore, Common Assessments may not be the same for all Lots or all Units.
  2. Reserves. Common Assessments may include reasonable amounts as determined by the Board collected as Reserves for the future periodic maintenance, repair and replacement of all or a portion of the Common Elements, or for any other purpose as determined by the Board. All amounts collected as Reserves, whether pursuant to this Section or otherwise, shall be deposited by the Board in a separate bank account to be held in trust for the purposes for which they are collected. Said amounts shall be segregated from and not commingled with any other funds of the Master Association. Such Reserves shall be deemed a contribution to the capital account of the Master Association by the Members.
2. Purpose of Specific Assessments. Specific Assessments levied by the Master Association shall be levied against a particular Lot and the Owner thereof, or specific Unit Neighborhood Association to cover costs, including overhead and administrative costs, for:
  1. Providing particular services, items, or benefits to a Lot or Unit Neighborhood Association at the request of the Owner thereof pursuant to a list of special services which the Board may authorize from time to time including, without limitation, snow removal, landscape maintenance, and handyman services, and which assessments may be levied in advance of providing such special services.
  2. Enforcing any provision of the Articles, Bylaws, this Master Declaration, any Neighborhood Declaration, the Master Rules, or the Design Guidelines against any Owner, or of bringing any Lot or Unit into compliance with such requirements.
  3. Maintenance, repairs, or replacements of or within the Common Elements arising out of or caused by the willful or negligent act or omission of an Owner or the Owner's Guests.
3. Purpose of Special Assessments. Special Assessments shall be levied from time to time to cover unbudgeted expenses or expenses in excess of those budgeted. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles, Bylaws, or in this Master Declaration, a Special Assessment shall require the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of Members. Special Assessments shall be levied against each Lot and the Owner thereof, to each then existing platted Super Pad Parcel and to each then existing Unit Neighborhood Association and shall be payable in such manner and at such times, including installments over time, as the Board may determine.
4. Purpose of Capital Improvement Assessments: A Capital Improvement Assessment may be levied from time to time for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement of or upon the Common Elements, including fixtures and personal property, related thereto; provided, however, that any such assessment in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) shall require the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of Members. Capital Improvement Assessments shall be levied against each Lot and the Owner thereof, to each then existing platted Super Pad Parcel and, to each then existing. Unit Neighborhood Association and shall be payable in such manner and at such times, including installments over time, as the Board may determine.
Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments. Declarant, for each Lot and platted Super Pad Parcel owned by it, hereby covenants and agrees, and each Owner of any Lot or platted Super Pad Parcel 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 Master Association all Common Assessments, Specific Assessments, Special Assessments, and Capital Improvement Assessments levied as provided herein, and each such assessment together with interest, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees for the collection thereof, shall be a charge on the Lot or platted Super Pad Parcel and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot or platted Super Pad Parcel against which such assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with interest, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Lot or platted Super Pad Parcel at the time when the assessment fell due.
Adjustment of Assessments. The Master Association may phase-in its budget for assessment purposes during the first three years after the commencement of assessments under Section 3.25 with approximately equal monthly additions so that the amount of the budget (determined based on assumed full operation) collected in the first month will be one-thirty sixth (1/36) of the normal monthly assessment under the full budget, the amount collected will be two-thirty sixths (2/36) of the normal monthly assessment in the second month, and so on, until the full normal monthly amount is collected in thirty-sixth month. The Master Association shall reduce its expenditures to not exceed its collections in these phase-in months. Further, in the event that a Plat is recorded, or any Additional Property is made subject to this Master Declaration, the Board shall have the power to make equitable and reasonable adjustments in the amounts of assessments (or installments thereof) so as to take into account the following:
1. any increases in assessments payable to the Master Association resulting from the inclusion of new Lots, a Unit Neighborhood Association, or platted Super Pad Parcel, or the annexation of the Additional Property, and
2. any increases in Common Expenses resulting from the inclusion of new Lots, Unit Neighborhood Association or platted Super Pad Parcels and the annexation of the Additional Property.
No Offsets. All assessments shall be payable in the amount specified by the assessment and no offsets against such amount shall be permitted for any reason, including, without limitation, a claim that:
1. the Master Association is not properly exercising its duties and powers as provided in this Master Declaration, or
2. an Owner has made or elects to make no use of the Common Elements.
Homestead Waiver. Each Owner, to the extent permitted by law, does hereby waive, to the extent of any liens created pursuant to this Master Declaration, whether such liens are now in existence or are created at anytime in the future, the benefit of any homestead or exemption laws of the State of Utah now in effect from time to time hereafter.
Limitations on Certain Increases in Common and Special Assessments. Any provision of this Master Declaration to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board shall not in any fiscal year of the Master Association, without the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of all Member votes, levy a Common Assessment per Lot which is more than twenty percent (20%) greater than the Common Assessment per Lot for the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Master Association. Any provision of this Master Declaration to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board shall not in any fiscal year of the Master Association, without the affirmative vote or the written consent of a majority of all Member votes, levy a Special Assessment against each Lot which, when aggregated as to all Lots, exceeds five percent (5%) of the Common Expenses of the Master Association for such fiscal year. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board may increase Common Assessments and Special Assessments which are subject to the foregoing limitations in an "emergency situation" which is defined as any one of the following:
1. an, extraordinary expenditure or the increase of an impound account balance required by order of court or any governmental entity with jurisdiction on any portion of the Deer Crest Project;
2. an extraordinary expenditure necessary to operate, repair or maintain the Common Elements or any other property for which the Master Association is responsible where a threat to personal safety on the Common Elements or on such other property is discovered or where the expenditure is required as a condition to the confirmation of insurance on any portion of the Deer Crest Project or required by a governmental entity or an agreement with a governmental entity (including without limitation the operation and maintenance of traffic controls and gates); and
3. an extraordinary expenditure necessary to repair or maintain the Common Elements or any other property for which the Master Association is responsible that could not have been reasonably foreseen by the Board in preparing its budget (however, prior to the imposition and collection of an assessment under this Subsection (iii), the Board shall pass a resolution containing written findings as to the necessity of the extraordinary expense involved and why the expense was not or could not have been reasonably foreseen in the budgeting process, and the resolution shall be distributed to the Members with the notice of the assessment).
Multiple Assessments Levied Against Lot Resulting from Merger or Combination. Whenever two or more adjacent Lots of an Owner are combined, then the resulting combined new Lot shall be considered a single Lot for all purposes except voting and assessments and shall be assessed as two Lots and shall have two Class A Memberships appurtenant to the combined Lot.
Assessment Percentage. All Common Assessments, Special Assessments, and Capital Improvement. Assessments of the Master Association payable during a calendar year shall be prorated among the Lots, any Super Pad Parcels in existence by recorded Plat at the beginning of the calendar year and any then existing Unit Neighborhood. Associations on the following basis (herein designated the "Assessment Percentages"):
1. For purposes of this, allocation of all Assessments, the Roosevelt Gap Neighborhood Association shall be deemed to have forty-two (42) Association Assessment Units, the Deer Hollow Village Neighborhood shall be deemed to have thirty-three and two-tenths(33.2) Association Assessment Units, the Snow Park Neighborhood shall be deemed to have two and one-half (2.5) Association Assessment Units and the Jordanelle Village .Neighborhood shall be deemed to have sixteen and six-tenths (16.6) Association Assessment Units.

3. The Assessment Percentage attributable to each Lot shall be calculated by (i) dividing the Assessment Unit for the subject Lot under subparagraph (b) by the "Denominator" equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate number of Assessment Units for Lots, which initially is one hundred forty-two (142) before including Lots on any of the Additional Properties, and (y) five percent (0.05) of the aggregate number of Association Assessment Units, as determined in subparagraph (a) above, within recorded. Super Pad Parcels that are outside of existing Unit Neighborhood Associations, and (z) the total number of Association Assessment Units of the Unit Neighborhood Associations then in existence as determined in subparagraph (a) above, and (ii) multiplying the result by one hundred (100).
4. The Assessment Percentage attributable to each Super Pad Parcel shall be equal to five percent (0.05) of the aggregate number of Association Assessment Units within" as determined in subparagraph (a) above, the recorded Super. Pad Parcel that are outside of existing Unit Neighborhood Association and included in the "Denominator," and divided by the "Denominator" in subparagraph (c) and multiplied by 100.
5. The Assessment Percentage attributable to each Unit Neighborhood Association then in existence shall be equal to the Association Assessment Units for such Neighborhood Association, as determined in subparagraph (a) above, divided by the "Denominator" in subparagraph (c) and multiplied by 100.
6. The Board may deduct from the total of Common Assessments the amount of costs reasonably allocable to the particular Lots or Unit Neighborhood Associations based on the extent of benefit of those Lots or Unit Neighborhood Associations as provided in Section 3.17(a)(i).
7. Each Owner shall be obligated to pay that portion of each assessment determined by multiplying the total assessment by the Assessment Percentage of said Owner and plus an equitable percentage of the particular items of benefit to the Lot or Unit Neighborhood Associations in question as provided in Section 3.17(a)(i).

Assessments or may abate collection of Common Assessments as it deems appropriate. Nothing in this Section shall require the Board either to abate or reduce the amount of Common Assessments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither an abatement nor a reduction in the amount of Common Assessments shall be permitted so long as Declarant is possessed with or controls a majority of the total voting power of the Master Association and of the Board, and (ii) when Declarant no longer is possessed with or controls a majority of the total voting power of the Master Association or the Board, an abatement or reduction in Common Assessments shall only be permitted during a particular fiscal year if the same does not result in a quantity or quality of services to the Master Association which are diminished from those contemplated by the Common Expenses budget for that particular fiscal year.
