CC&R ARTICLE H: Amendment of Covenants
|
Section 1. By Declarant. Declarant may unilaterally amend this instrument if such amendment is necessary (a) to bring any provision into compliance with any applicable governmental statute, rule, regulation, or judicial determination; (b) to enable any reputable title insurance company to issue title insurance coverage on the Lots; (c) to enable any institutional or governmental lender, purchaser, insurer or guarantor of mortgage loans, including, for example, the Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, to make, purchase, insure or guarantee mortgage loans on the Lots; or (d) to satisfy the requirements of any local, state or federal governmental agency.
Section 2. By Members. Except as otherwise specifically provided above, this instrument may be amended and changed from time to time by the written consent of the Owners of not less than 67% of all of the Lots in all of the Subdivision, and Declarant's consent, so long as Declarant owns any property subject to this instrument. For the purpose of amendment, consent to an amendment by an Owner shall be binding and irrevocable upon the Owner of a Lot and any successors to the Owner for a period of six months after it is given for the purpose of calculating the percentage required for adoption of the consent. Consents required under this Section shall be delivered to the Community Organization which shall tabulate them. Its determination of the sufficiency of the consent shall be conclusive, and an amendment to this instrument shall be effective when a written Notice of Amendment signed and acknowledged by the president and secretary of the Community Organization is recorded in King County, Washington, stating that the requisite consent has been obtained and setting forth the amendment in its entirety. This right of amendment is in addition to the right of amendment provided in Paragraph 1, Section 1 of Article A and Section 1 of Article H.
