LAKE PASS PICKUP & DCCR AMENDMENT CONSENT

Dear Spring Lakes Subdivision Homeowner,

The Spring Lakes Board will be at the dam on Saturday, July 18, handing out lake passes and gathering signatures for the DCCR amendment. Stop by anytime between 10 AM and 1 PM.

If you can’t make it, passes will also be available at the Board meeting on Tuesday, July 21, at the Wright City Library during the Board meeting. The meeting starts at 6 PM.

The Board will provide additional dates in the future. Please refer to the website for updates. ( www.slhoawc.com )

If you would like to pick up your lake passes, your assessment must be paid and current. The 2026 annual assessment is $500. The assessment may be paid in two installments of $250 each installment:

·        $250 due July 1, 2026

·        $250 due January 1, 2027

If you have not paid your assessment, or if you did not receive your 2026 assessment notice, please contact AMC, our current management company, for assistance.

The DCCR Amendment was developed after multiple meetings with homeowners to establish a balanced compromise between those opposed to rentals and those in favor of rentals. The agreed‑upon items were then provided to our attorney, who created the formal amendment language. You may review the language here:

DCCR Amendment Topics

1. Electronic Voting

   • Electronic voting is already permitted under our Bylaws.

   • This amendment would extend that allowance to future DCCR amendments.

   • It does not change the required approval threshold, which remains 2/3 of all lot owners.

   • It does not change the current required quorum. Any change to the quorum requirement would need to be stated explicitly in the amendment. The amendment would need to clearly identify the specific quorum amount being changed and state that it is being amended. If the intent is to remove the quorum requirement entirely, the amendment must explicitly state the existing quorum provision is being redacted.

2. Rentals

   • The amendment includes updated language addressing rental use within the subdivision.

3. Sex Offender Restrictions

   • There is existing case law on this topic in Illinois. Source: https://ilhoalaw.com/2024/02/08/court-rules-that-restrictive-covenant-banning-sex-offenders-is-enforceable/

   • Some confusion has been expressed that we would be the first HOA in Missouri to include such restrictions in the DCCRs. This cannot be verified, as no one has access to every HOA’s governing documents.

   • No court case has yet been tried specifically on HOA‑based sex offender restrictions within Missouri.

There has been another misunderstanding that the Bylaws require all separate issues to be voted on individually. This is correct. However, this requirement applies to substantively different matters—meaning you cannot combine unrelated actions into a single vote. For example, you cannot combine a vote on an assessment increase with a vote on approving Bylaw changes or a DCCR Amendment. Each must be presented and voted on as its own, separate item.

Example of an Incorrect Combined Vote

Do you approve amending the following Bylaw language: “No HOA meetings shall be held on an observed holiday,” and decline the approval of the assessment increase to $1,000,000?

A. Approve the Bylaw Amendment and Decline the Assessment Increase

B. Decline the Bylaw Amendment and Approve the Assessment Increase

Why must these items be voted on separately? Because combining unrelated issues forces homeowners into an either‑or choice. It effectively says that if you do not approve the amendment, then you must accept the increase.

A DCCR amendment can be voted on as a single item because it is one unified amendment package. In contrast, the example above combines two unrelated matters—an assessment increase and a Bylaw amendment—which must always be voted on independently.

As always, we encourage homeowners to review the documents provided and ask questions. The Board’s goal is never to self‑serve or be manipulative. Our goal is to work with the community to find solutions, which is why we held several meetings before collecting signatures—to develop an approach and a compromise that best serves the community.

We can only provide the information and hope that homeowners read it in its entirety and attend meetings to ask questions and share their opinions. For those unable to attend, our email has been shared multiple times on Facebook, included in flyers, and posted on our website. Please feel free to reach out to us. ( slhoawc@gmail.com )

Sincerely,

Your Spring Lakes Subdivision Board of Directors
