2.06.03 conformity and harmony of the external design, color, type and appearance of exterior
surfaces and landscaping, if applicable;
2.06.04 drainage impacts and solutions;
2.06.05 the observance of and compliance with applicable setback lines and Easements and
the enhancement of aesthetic views and visual corriddrs to and from the Common Areas and Trails; and
2.06.06 the other standards set forth within this Declaration (and any amendments hereto),
guidelines and bulletins issued by the ACC, or matters in which the ACC has been vested with the authority
to render a final interpretation and decision.
The ACC is authorized and empowered to consider and review any and all aspects of construction,
location and landscaping, which may, in the reasonable opinion of the ACC, adversely affect the living
enjoyment of one or more Owner(s) or the general value of the Property. The ACC may consider
technological advances and changes in design and materials and such comparable or alternative techniques,
methods or materials that may or may not be permitted, in accordance with sole discretion of the ACC.
The following is a general outline of the steps likely to be involved in the review of plans and specifications:
(a) Submit preliminary plans and specifications to the ACC in accordance with Section 2.09.01;
(b) Submit final plans and specifications to the ACC in accordance with Section 2.09.02; and
(c) Submit copy of building permit to the ACC.
The ACC may require as a condition precedent to any approval of the final plans and specifications,
that the applicant obtain and produce an appropriate building permit from the City of College Station, Texas
and any other permits required by a governmental unit having jurisdiction over the proposed project. The ACC
is also authorized to coordinate with the City of College Station in connection with the applicant's observance
and compliance of the construction standards set forth in this Declaration. However, the mere fact that the
City of College Station issues a building permit with respect to a proposed structure does not automatically
mean that the ACC is obliged to unconditionally approve the plans and specifications. Similarly, the ACC's
approval of any plans and specifications does not mean that all applicable building requirements of the City
of College Station have been satisfied.
Each and every Owner and applicant shall use their respective best efforts to commence construction
of all improvements approved by the ACC and the City of College Station, Texas (and any and all other
applicable governmental agencies) within sixty (60) days after obtaining all necessary governmental approvals
therefor and thereafter diligently pursue the project through to completion.
2.07 Adoption of Architectural Guidelines and Rules by the ACC.
2.07.01 The ACC may from time to time publish and promulgate architectural standards
bulletins or guidelines and/or lot information sheets that shall carry forward the spirit and intention of this
Declaration. Such bulletins and lot information sheets shall supplement this Declaration and are incorporated
herein by reference. EACH OWNER SHALL SEEK AND OBTAIN AND BECOME THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR
WITH ANY AND ALL ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS BULLETINS OR GUIDELINES AND LOT
INFORMATION SHEETS PRIOR TO ACQUISITION OF, AND CONSTRUCTION ON, ANY LOT WITHIN THE
SUBDIVISION. The ACC shall have the right, power and authority to establish and prescribe architectural
standards bulletins and guidelines pertaining to such items and topics as (but not necessarily limited to):

* *PRIOR TO ACQUIRING ANY INTEREST IN A LOT, EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER, TRANSFEREE,
MORTGAGEE AND OWNER OF ANY LOT IN THE SUBDIVISION IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO
CONTACT SMD, THE ASSOCIATION OR THE ACC TO OBTAIN AND REVIEW THE MOST RECENT
ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES WHICH WILL CONTROL THE DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION AND
USE OF THE LOT.**
2.07.02 The ACC may adopt such procedural and substantive rules, not in conflict with this
Declaration, as it deems necessary or proper for the performance of its duties, including but not limited to rules
governing the submission and approval process for the construction of Structures and Improvements on a Lot,
building codes, fire codes, housing codes, and other similar codes.
2.08 Review of Proposed Construction. Whenever in this Declaration the approval of the ACC is
required, the ACC shall have the right to consider all of the construction plans and specifications, renderings,
elevation sketches, surveys and any other information requested by or supplied to the ACC for the Structure,
Improvement or proposal in question (collectively "Plans and Specifications ") and all other facts that, in its sole
discretion, are relevant. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the commencement of
construction of any Structure or Improvement on the Property or any portion thereof, the Plans and
Specifications therefor shall be submitted to the ACC in accordance with Section 2.09 and any rules adopted
by the ACC. Construction may not commence unless and until the ACC has approved in writing such Plans
and Specifications in accordance with Section 2.09. The ACC shall have the express authority to perform fact -

be vague, indefinite, uncertain or capable of more than one construction. The ACC may, in its review of Plans
and Specifications and such other information as it deems proper, consider whether any proposed Structure
or Improvement upon a Lot would unreasonably obstruct the view from other portions of the Property. The
ACC may, but shall not be required to, disapprove any Structure or Improvement upon any Lot that would
unreasonably obstruct the view from any other portion of the Property. No Structure or Improvement shall be
allowed on any Lot which is of such size or architectural design or involves the use of such landscaping, color
schemes, exterior finishes and materials and similar features as to be incompatible with residential
development within the Property and the surrounding area. The ACC shall have the authority to disapprove
any proposed Structure or Improvement based upon the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence. The
ACC shall not be responsible for reviewing any proposed Structure or Improvement, nor shall its approval of
any Plans and Specifications be deemed an endorsement, from the standpoint of structural safety, engineering
soundness, or conformance with building or other codes not of its authorship.
2.09 Preliminary and Final Plan Submission and Approval Process. All submissions of Plans and
Specifications to the ACC should meet the requirements of this Section 2.09 and be made in accordance with
the rules promulgated by the ACC for the submission and approval process. All submissions shall boldly state
by cover letter and on the plans whether they are a submission of preliminary or final plans. A Lot Owner is
not required to make a preliminary plan submission, but is encouraged to do so to avoid increased
architectural and engineering fees. All submissions must be delivered to the ACC by certified mail, return
receipt requested, hand delivery or such other manner authorized by rule of the ACC.
2.09.01 Preliminary Plan Submission and Approval. The ACC is authorized to consider and
comment on preliminary plans on an informal basis to assist Owners, developers, homebuilders and
prospective purchasers of the Lots in complying with this Declaration and any Architectural Guidelines and
to assist in the completion of any feasibility studies undertaken by such persons or entities. The ACC shall
have the right, however, to prescribe reasonable limitations concerning the time, effort and expense likely to
be involved in handling such matters on an informal basis. The ACC may require an Owner to attend a

FUNDS AND ASSESSMENTS
7.01 Assessments. The Association may from time to time levy Assessments against each Lot
whether or not improved. The level of Assessments shall be equal and uniform among all Lots, provided,
however, that no Assessments hereunder shall be levied against SMD. Where the obligation to pay an
Assessment first arises after the commencement of the year or other period for which the Assessment was
levied, the Assessment shall be prorated as of the date when said obligation first arose in proportion to the
amount of the Assessment year or other period remaining after said date. Each unpaid Assessment together
with such interest thereon and costs of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, shall be the personal
obligation of the Owner of the Lot against which the Assessment falls due, and shall become a lien against
each such Lot and all improvements thereon. The Association may enforce payment of such Assessments
in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
7.02 Maintenance Fund. The Board shall establish a maintenance fund into which shall be
deposited all monies paid to the Association and from which disbursements shall be made in performing the
functions of the Association under this Declaration. The funds of the Association must be used solely for
purposes authorized by this Declaration, as it may from time to time be amended.
7.03 Regular Annual Assessments. Prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, the Board shall
estimate the expenses to be incurred by the Association during such year in performing its functions under
this Declaration, including but not limited to the cost of all Common Area, right -of -way, Trails and Lake
maintenance, the cost of enforcing this Declaration, and a reasonable provision for contingencies and
appropriate replacement reserves, less any expected income and any surplus from the prior year's fund.
Assessments sufficient to pay such estimated net expenses shall then be levied as herein provided, and the
level of Assessments set by the Board shall be final and binding so long as it is made in good faith. If the sums
collected prove inadequate for any reason, including nonpayment of any individual Assessment, the
Association may at any time, and from time to time, levy further Assessments in the same manner as
aforesaid. All such regular Assessments shall be due and payable annually in advance to the Association at
the beginning of the fiscal year or during the fiscal year in equal monthly installments on or before the first day
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions,
Reservations and Restrictions
of Villages of Indian Lakes

00818093 OR 5375 63
of each month, or in such other manner as the Board may designate in its sole and absolute discretion.
Assessments or installments of assessments not paid as provided herein are delinquent.
7.04 Special Assessments. In addition to the regular annual Assessments provided for above, the
Board may levy Special Assessments whenever in the Board's opinion such Special Assessments are
necessary to enable the Board to carry out the functions of the Association under this Declaration. The amount
and due date of any Special Assessments shall be at the reasonable discretion of the Board.
7.05 Owner's Personal Obligation for Payment of Assessments; Late Fees. The regular and special
Assessments provided for herein shall be the personal and individual debt of the Owner of the Lot covered
by such Assessments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01 hereof, no Owner may exempt himself
from liability for such Assessments. In the event of default in the payment of any such Assessment, the Owner
of the Lot shall be obligated to pay interest on the delinquent Assessment at the highest rate allowed by
applicable usury laws then in effect on the amount of the Assessment from due date thereof (or if there is no
such highest rate, then at the rate of 1 -1/2% per month), together with all costs and expenses of collection,
including reasonable attorney's fees. Additionally, if an Assessment or installment of an Assessment is not
paid when due, an additional amount of five percent (5 %) of such Assessment or installment (the "Late Fee ")
shall be immediately due and payable, provided the Late Fee may be reduced or waived by the Association
for good cause. The Late Fee is assessed to compensate for the administrative costs and expenses of
collection of the Assessments.
7.06 Assessment Lien and Foreclosure. All sums assessed in the manner provided in this Article
but unpaid, shall, together with interest as provided in Section 7.05 hereof and the cost of collection, including
attorney's fees as herein provided, thereupon become a continuing lien and charge on the Lot covered by such
Assessment, which shall bind such Lot in the hands of the Owner, and such Owner's heirs, devisees, personal
representatives, successors or assigns. The aforesaid lien shall be superior to all other liens and charges
against the said Lot, except only for tax liens and all sums unpaid on a first mortgage lien or first deed of trust
filed of record, securing in either instance sums borrowed for the acquisition or improvement of the Lot in
question. The Association shall have the power to subordinate the aforesaid Assessment lien to any other lien.
Such power shall be entirely discretionary with the Board and such subordination shall be effectuated by an
officer of the Association, duly authorized by the Board. To evidence an Assessment lien, the Association may,
prepare a written notice of Assessment lien setting forth the amount of the unpaid indebtedness, the name
of the owner of the Lot covered by such lien, and a description of the Lot. Such notice shall be signed by an
officer of the Association, duly authorized by the Board, and shall be recorded in the office of the County Clerk
of Brazos County, Texas. Such lien for payment of Assessments shall attach with the priority above set forth,
from the date that much payment becomes delinquent, and, subject to the requirements of the Code (as
