Barn Use Guidelines
The policy regarding use the Barn is as follows: (1) To use the Barn and adjacent tennis and sport court facilities, homeowners must be current with Homeowners Association dues and assessments. (2) The homeowner must be present at and involvedin the activity for which the Barn was reserved. (3) The Barn is to be primarily used for recreational and social purposes: commercial and profit motivated activities are discouraged, as is repetitive use of the facilities (e.g. regular meetings or reserving the Barn for a number of days in a row).
This set of criteria may be used for determining the appropriate use of the facilities falling outside the standard guidelines.
What is the impact to the neighborhood? I.e.: Noise, traffic or other inconveniences for homeowners.
By permitting a use that falls outside the standard policy does it set a precedent for future facility usage?
Consideration must also be given to how other homeowners view the appropriate use of the facility.
