5.2 Zero Lot-Line Provisions:
A) The dividing walls which straddle the boundary line between the lots and which stands partly upon one lot and partly upon another and all walls which serve two dwelling units shall at all times be considered party walls, and each of the owners of lots upon which any such party wall shall stand, shall have the right to use said party wall below and above the surface of ground and along the whole length of any part of the length thereof for the support of said dwelling unit and for the support of any building or structures constructed to replace the same, and shall have the right to maintain or replace in order to replace in or on said wall any pipes, ducts, or conduits originally located thereon, subject to the restrictions herein contained, to-wit:
(1) No owner nor any successor in interest shall have the right to extend said party wall in any manner, either in length, height, or thickness.
(2) In the event of damage or destruction by fire or other casualty of any party wall, including the foundation thereof, the owner of any dwelling unit which abuts on such party wall shall have the right to repair or rebuild such wall and the owner of each dwelling unit which abuts on such party wall shall pay his aliquot portion of the cost of such repair or rebuilding. All such repair or rebuilding shall be done within a reasonable time in a workmanlike manner, with materials comparable to those used in the original wall, and shall conform in all respects to the laws or ordinances regulating the construction of buildings in force at the time of such repair or reconstruction. Whenever any such wall or any portion thereof shall be rebuilt, it shall be erected in the same location and on the same line and be of the same size as the original wall.
(3) The foregoing provisions of this article notwithstanding, the owner of any dwelling unit or other interested party, shall retain the right to receive a larger contribution from another or others under any rule of law regarding liability for negligent or willful acts or omissions.
(4) In the event of damage or destruction by fire or other casualty of any dwelling unit or any portion thereof, the owner or owners from time to time of any such dwelling unit covenant to and shall, within a reasonable time after such damage or destruction, repair or rebuild the same in a workmanlike manner with materials comparable to those used in the original structure and in strict conformity with all laws or ordinances regulating the construction of buildings in force at the time of repair or reconstruction. The exterior of such dwelling unit, when rebuilt, shall be substantially similar to and of architectural design in conformity with the exterior of the dwelling unit(s) which remain standing as a part of such dwelling structure and are not required to be rebuilt. In the event of the total or substantial destruction of all the dwelling units in a dwelling structure, the architectural design of the exterior of the building structures to be rebuilt and the materials to be used shall be substantially similar in architectural design to the original building structures in Prairie Winds Subdivision and shall be constructed of comparable materials.
(5) In the event that any owner shall fail, after a reasonable time after the damage or destruction referred to in Subparagraph 5.2 (A)(4) to perform the necessary repair or rebuilding, the owner(s) of the remainder of the dwelling structure shall, in the manner described in Section 5.2(G) of these covenants be permitted to cause such repair or rebuilding to be done by such firm, laborers, or materialmen as may be chosen by such owner(s). Such owner(s) shall have and are hereby given a continuing lien on that dwelling unit on which any such repairs or rebuilding are caused to be made or done in the aggregate amount of:
a. The cost of such repairs or rebuilding;
b. Interest at the prime rate as shown under “Money Rates” in The Wall Street Journal in effect from time to time from the date of payment of such costs; and
c. Reasonable attorneys fees and any court costs or other expenses or charges incurred in connection therewith, which lien shall bind the owner of the repaired or rebuilt unit, his heirs, devices, personal representatives, grantees and assignees. Further, in the event such owner does not make prompt payment in the full amount of such claim, the owner(s) so repairing or rebuilding shall have the right to foreclose such lien as permitted by Illinois Law. The lien of such owner(s) described in this subsection shall be subordinate to the lien of any prior trust deed, mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the dwelling parcel prior to such repair or rebuilding.
(B) Together the unit owners in a building structure shall mutually purchase and maintain in effect a single insurance policy insuring the building structure for the full insurable replacement cost thereof against loss by fire or other casualty. All of the owners and their respective mortgagees shall be named as insured under the policy. Each unit owner shall pay his pro-rata share of the insurance premium cost as the allocated billing from the insurance company based upon the relative value of each unit. In the event of the failure or refusal of any unit owner to pay his share of such cost, the owner(s) of the remaining dwelling unit(s) in such dwelling structure may pay the same and shall have a lien and cause of action against such defaulting party together with interest costs and expenses as provided in the preceding subparagraph 4.2(A)(5).
In the event a single insurance policy is not available each owner shall at all times keep his respective dwelling unit fully insured for the full insurable replacement cost thereof with coverage as provided above and shall name the other unit owners of the building structure as additional insured under the policy for the purpose of providing funds in those cases in which the owner(s) neglects or refuses to rebuild or repair subsequent to a fire or casualty loss. Each owner shall upon request from another owner in the same structure deliver to said other owner a certificate evidencing such insurance coverage and evidence of premium payment and that the policy remains in full force and effect.
Each lot owner shall procure his own liability and contents insurance coverage. Nothing shall be done or kept in any dwelling unit which will increase the premium rate of insurance on the dwelling structure applicable for residential use. No lot owner shall permit anything to be done or kept upon his premises which will result in the cancellation of insurance on the building structure or any part thereof, or which would be in violation of law.
(C) Collectively the owners of each multi-unit dwelling structure shall be responsible for the maintenance, painting, repair or replacement of all exterior walls, including the foundations thereof, roofs, gutters, downspouts and common sanitary sewers, as is made necessary and desirable as a result of the natural and ordinary wear and/or deterioration thereof. The responsibility for such maintenance work shall be borne in accordance with the following procedures:
(1) PAINTING- Upon a decision being made by the majority of the dwelling unit owners that a particular dwelling structure needs repainting, bids shall be secured for the specified painting and the bidders shall be required to allocate to each separate unit the portion of the painting expense allocable to such dwelling unit. The owner of each dwelling unit shall pay his share of the lowest accepted bid for such painting work, including labor and materials. The owner or a particular dwelling unit may perform his own painting work provided it is in conformity with the repainting plan adopted by the majority and provided further that he do such work at the same time as the work is being performed upon the remainder of the dwelling structure and that he perform such work in a reasonable and workmanlike manner. The cost allocation is made in this manner due to the circumstance of each unit varying in size from other units and all units having different areas of exterior surface requiring painting.
(2) ROOF MAINTENANCE- Each owner shall be responsible for keeping the roof over his dwelling unit in good condition for the benefit of all dwelling units. In the event a decision is made, as provided hereunder, for the installation of a new roof, each dwelling unit owner shall contribute to the cost thereof in the proportion of his total roof area to the total roof area of the dwelling structure.
(3) GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS- Each dwelling unit owner shall contribute equally to defray the cost of any necessary maintenance, repair, or replacement of all gutters or downspouts of each building structure.
(4) EXTERIOR WALLS AND FOUNDATIONS- Each dwelling unit owner shall be responsible for maintaining in a good condition all exterior walls and foundations located upon the portion of his dwelling structure.
(5) COMMON SANITARY SEWERS- As applicable, maintenance of the Common Sanitary Sewer is the collective responsibility of all unit owners in each “attached” dwelling structure and each dwelling unit owner shall contribute equally to defray the cost of any necessary maintenance repair or replacement of the Common Sanitary Sewer. This provision shall not apply to required maintenance of the extension of said Sanitary Sewer line from the common line to the individual unit which latter maintenance shall be the sole responsibility of each unit owner.
It is recognized that good maintenance of the entire building structure is necessary for the enjoyment of each dwelling unit therein and, accordingly, each owner is expressly given the right to enforce the above obligations as herein provided in these covenants.
(D) The owner of each dwelling unit shall be responsible for the maintenance and/or repair of all of his or her dwelling unit that is not specifically designated as a collective responsibility of the owners of the building structure. By way of example, and not limitation, all interior maintenance shall be the sole responsibility of the dwelling unit owner.
The owner of an individual dwelling unit shall not change the exterior appearance of his unit except with the prior approval of the majority of the dwelling unit owners in his particular dwelling structure. It is the purpose and intent of this covenant to enhance the overall appearance of the dwelling structure in accordance with the desires of owners holding a majority interest herein.
(E) For the purpose of making decisions with respect to collective exterior maintenance of each dwelling structure, repair, rebuilding, insurance coverage, common sanitary sewer maintenance, etc., as provided herein, the owner or owners of each dwelling parcel/lot upon which a portion of such dwelling structure is located shall have one vote in making such determination. In the event the owners cannot agree, such owners shall mutually select a third person to act in making such determination. In the event they cannot mutually agree upon such third person, the developer shall act as such third person unless he is the owner of one of the units involved. If the developer refuses, is disqualified, or is not available, any Champaign County Circuit or Associate Judge shall be qualified to name such third person.
All decisions shall, therefore, be by majority vote of such persons as such decisions shall be binding upon all owners of such building structure. In the event that a lot is owned by a corporation, partnership, trust, or other legal entity, other than a natural person or persons, then the person so designated by such entity shall be eligible to exercise such voting rights. In the event there is more than one owner of a single dwelling unit, the vote shall be accordingly split.
In the event there is a plugging or other stoppage or obstruction of the common sanitary sewer line, any unit owner advised of such circumstances shall, if reasonably possible, notify other unit owners in the same dwelling structure, but in the event immediate corrective action is necessary any unit owner shall have the authority to proceed immediately to engage the necessary services to remove such plugging or stoppage in the common sanitary sewer line; in such event, each unit owner of the dwelling structure so served shall contribute equally to the cost of such service. This procedural Covenant shall also apply even if a unit owner refuses to vote in favor of the corrective action if such action is reasonably required to remove a serious hazard.
(F) Provision for annual assessments, including the provision of a reserve for anticipated maintenance expenditures, or special assessments for emergency repairs or maintenance shall be determined by a vote of the respective owners of each dwelling structure. The purpose of such assessment, the amount thereof, and the method of payment shall be determined by a majority vote and shall be reduced to writing. Upon the request of any contract purchaser of a dwelling unit, the owner(s) of remaining units in such building structure agree to execute a written statement or certificate to such purchaser as to the status of assessments, if any, due for such dwelling unit.
(G) In the event that a dwelling unit owner has failed to perform any obligations hereunder, the remaining unit owner(s) in the same dwelling structure may take action to enforce such obligation in the following manner:
(1) Written notice shall be given to such alleged defaulting unit owner, setting forth the alleged default.
(2) If the alleged defaulting owner has not taken steps to correct such default of if such unit owner has failed to make any response thereto setting forth valid reasons for his action or omission to act, then and in such event, the remaining dwelling unit owner(s) in such dwelling structure may take action to remedy such alleged defaults and recover the costs thereof as provided elsewhere in these covenants. If the alleged default is of a nature to require more prompt action, the notice period may be shortened to not less than five (5) days, provided the notice is personally delivered and the time so specified.
