The following rules have been established for the benefit and protection of all members and guests. They are established by the EXETER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION and are approved by the EXETER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION Board of Directors. These rules are designed to ensure proper operation of the facility and to provide wholesome recreation for members and their guests.

ENFORCEMENT OF RULES
1. Lifeguards will enforce the rules of the EXETER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION swimming pool (“pool”). All members and guests are required to abide by these rules. Parents are instructed to caution their children to observe all rules and obey the instructions of the Pool Manager and the lifeguards. Parents are responsible for the conduct of their children and members are responsible for their guests at the pool.

2. Noncompliance with the rules of the pool may result in the suspension of pool privilege(s).

3. Situations arising that are not specifically covered by the established rules shall be handled by the pool manager who will also notify the Association’s Managing Agent.

IDENTIFICATION

1. Membership to the pool is open to all homeowners of the Exeter Homeowners Association and the owners in Fox Chase Condominiums (246) in good standing and who possess a valid pool pass. Optional membership will be offered to the owners of homes in Exeter I HOA (49 homes) annually during an enrollment period set by the EXETER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION Board of Directors. Owners of Exeter I who have purchased an optional membership and possess a valid pool pass are also identified as members.

2. Membership to the pool will be established by submitting a completed application form to Property Management People, Inc. (Managing Agent), which is located at 741 Miller Drive, Suite K-1, Leesburg, VA 20175.

3. Nonresident owners who desire pool privileges may obtain passes and thereby deny access to the pool for their tenant(s). The owner who wishes to transfer his/her pool privileges to a tenant should sign the application as instructed and forward to the tenant so the tenant can register for a pool membership.

4. Upon receipt of a completed application form, membership eligibility will be verified as to the status of assessments and architectural or covenant violations. Pool passes will then be issued to each individual living in the household (a household will consist of all persons living in a unit for more than six (6) months of the year), and unmarried children who are students and/or from previous marriage and who will be residing with the owner for the summer. Other summer house guests are not eligible for passes. They may, however, use the pool as a guest of the owner.

5. The pool pass will include the individual’s name and address. Passes will be inspected by a lifeguard or an attendant at the entrance of the pool. Photo ID passes will be issued to all persons sixteen (16) years of age and older. Children ages nine (9) to three (3) years of age will be issued passes without a photo. Children ages ten (10) thru fifteen (15) will be issued a pass with a photo only after a swim test is passed (see Dependants #2). No one else will be admitted to the pool without a valid pass.

6. Passes are the responsibility of the individual members. Neither the Association nor the pool staff is responsible for lost passes or passes left overnight. A $5 fee will be charged for each replacement pass.

7. Pool passes will not be issued and admittance will be denied to homeowners (or their tenants) who are delinquent in the payment of assessments, including interest, late fees and legal charges. Pool passes will not be issued and admittance will be denied to homeowners (and their tenants) with outstanding covenants violations or who have been cited for a failure to request approval by the Architectural Review Board (ARB) for an improvement (such as a fence or deck) already constructed or in the process of being constructed. Once an architectural change request is denied by the ARB, the Association may revoke the pool pass if a reasonable effort is not being made by the homeowner (or the tenant) to comply with the ruling of the ARB.

8. MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN DENIED ADMITTANCE TO THE POOL MAY NOT BE ADMITTED AS THE GUEST OF ANOTHER MEMBER.
