Association and HomeownerRules and Regulations& Guidelines for Occupants and Contractors SECTION II - Structural Modification SECTION III - Tradesmen and Contractor Instructions REVISED May 2, 2003 SECTION I Rules and RegulationsI. HOMEOWNERS AND OCCUPANTS: WELCOME TO LA PERLA TOWERS. La Perla is the seventh of ten high rise condominiums built in the Coronado Shores complex. We are a building of 121 privately owned units, many of which are occupied as the permanent residences of their owners. An elected Board of Directors governs the affairs of the building. Their rules and regulations are implemented and enforced by the Building Manager and staff. Because of the high occupancy of the building, standards of excellence in appearance and atmosphere must be maintained. DEFINITION of a CONDOMINIUM: “Unit” shall mean and refer to the elements of a Condominium which are not owned in common with other owners. The boundaries of a Unit shall be the interior surfaces of the perimeter walls, floors, ceilings, windows and doors of each Unit, where they exist, and otherwise to the vertical or horizontal planes at the limits of the dimensions as shown on the condominium plan, that has been filed, pursuant to Section 1351 of the California Civil Code, in the office of the Country Recorder of San Diego County. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Is comprised of five homeowners who are elected at the annual meeting of the homeowners in December of each year. The Board sets policy, which is implemented and enforced by the Building Manager and the Staff. Board meetings are scheduled at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Homeowners are encouraged to attend. Notice will be posted in the lobby and elevators at least three days prior to a scheduled Board meeting stating location, time and date. LANDSCAPING and RECREATIONAL COMMITTEE: The common area facilities on the Shores campus are managed by the Landscaping and Recreational Committee. Homeowners and Residents are encouraged to attend the regular monthly meetings of this committee. These are held in the Roeder Pavilion and are announced at least ten days before the date of the meeting by notices posted in all Towers. The agenda for these meetings as well as the minutes of the meetings are posted on the La Perla bulletin board. DOORPERSON: (Telephone 437-4303) Doorperson services are provided 24 hours per day. The emphasis of their service is security and greeting of all residents. Please respect inquires in assisting you. Also, in as much as they may provide direction to other Towers, pools, tennis courts, and general information about the area, do not hesitate to ask for assistance in these matters. MANAGER: (Telephone 437-4545 – Facsimile 437-1225) The Manager is available during normal business hours (7AM-4PM) Monday through Friday and can be contacted by the Doorperson during off-duty hours when needed. On Saturdays during the summer months from June 1st through September 30th, the Manager is also available inside of the office. The emphasis of the Manager’s services is the management of Association employees, Association funds, and building maintenance. OTHER REFERENCES: Homeowners are advised that the La Perla Tower, known as CSCA Building #7 is governed by its Articles of Incorporation, CC&R’s and Bylaws. Homeowners are encouraged to be in possession of these documents. In case of any conflict between these Rules and Regulations and those documents, the requirements of the most senior document will prevail. ACCESS to the CORONADO SHORES SITE: Access to the Coronado Shores site is governed by the Rules and Regulations of the Coronado Shores Landscaping and Recreational (L&R) Committee. The Homeowner, Resident and Tradesman are encouraged to obtain a copy of those Rules and Regulations from the L&R Office which is located down the stairs on the north side of the Las Palmas Tower. Homeowners and Residents must advise the La Perla Doorperson when they are expecting visitors. The La Perla Doorperson, in turn, advises L&R Security at the entry kiosk to prepare a visitors vehicle pass; it is only necessary for the Homeowner or Resident to have the La Perla Doorperson advise L&R Security to admit that vehicle the first time that the individual is requesting permission to visit the unit. AUTHORIZED ENTRY to the BUILDING: Building security benefits all residents. To be effective, a good security system requires that all visitors be admitted to the building only upon authorization from the resident whom they are visiting. Residents must insist that visitors stop at the Doorperson’s desk to be announced before admission. The Manager or Doorperson should be informed immediately as to the presence of any unauthorized person in the building. It is the owner’s responsibility to inform the Manager and Doorperson who might enter their unit to perform maintenance or facility repair. SECURITY SYSTEM RULES: Magnetic card readers are installed on all entry control arms and recreational facility doors or gates. Coded magnetic card keys operate these locks and gate arm controls. Each person must have in their possession a valid card-key or guest pass to use any of the recreational facilities on the Coronado Shores Complex. There are two distinct types of card keys, one with a photo identification and one without a photo. Both have a magnetic strip that will activate the magnetic card-readers to unlock the gates. The photo card key is for homeowners and immediate family members and authorized tenants and their family members residing in a unit longer than the minimum time length prescribed by Coronado City Ordinance (30 days). The card key without photo identification is for houseguests residing in a unit for 15 days or less. This type of card key is subject to a $20 refundable CHECK deposit. Cash deposits are not accepted from the La Perla staff. Houseguests exceeding a 15 day visit must apply for new a card key. A paper guest pass is available for your authorized visitors and is valid for a three day period or less. The holder of these passes must be accompanied by a card key sponsor to have access to the recreational facilities. The issuance of card keys and daily guest passes can only be authorized by the Building Manager as directed by the Board of Directors. The use of “genies” (Electronic Gate Openers) is restricted to residents only. CABLE SYSTEM UTILITIES: La Perla Tower maintains three cable facilities. a.

Extending the service to other rooms in the unit is the responsibility of and done at the expense of the Homeowner.

WINDOW and BALCONY CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS
Prior to September 2000, condominium owners received approval from La Perla Board of Directors and the city of Coronado to lower the horizontal bar height of windows from 35 inches to 26 inches. Upon installation, the windows were equipped with devices that restrict the window openings to no more than four inches (4”) per panel. Owners of these condominiums have been given written instructions by the Board of Directors that these devices MUST REMAIN IN PLACE to insure that no personal injury might occur. Any injury resulting from these restricting devices having been removed will be the sole responsibility of the homeowner.
Building Instructions concerning the horizontal bar height of windows: a. Maintain the existing 35 inch horizontal window bar height requirement as established for glass manufacturers. b. Require that owners replace window with full tempered glass that attains a heavy commercial rating of HC-40 as established by the American National Standards Institute. This will satisfy the maximum wind load requirement for the penthouse level, where the standards are the highest. EXTENDING ROOMS INTO BALCONY SPACE 10. As of February 2003 forty three percent (43%) of La Perla condominiums have extended their interior walls into the area formerly occupied by balconies. In original property documentation, ownership and maintenance of balconies was that of the association. Homeowners who have expanded their rooms into balcony space secured authorization from the Board of Directors and the City of Coronado building engineers. When authorization was granted, it was assumed that homeowners would thereafter be responsible for future repairs (including chipping, cracking or spall of the concrete) that might become necessary in the area that had been enclosed. To prevent misunderstanding of this responsibility, the Board of Directors secured legal counsel to prepare an agreement between homeowner and the Association that clarifies the understanding and indemnifies the Association from the cost of interior maintenance. The condominium owner shall be responsible for costs associated with installing, maintaining and/or repairing the expansion including, but not limited to any and all chipping, cracking or spalling of Unit’s concrete surfaces within the expanded area. Homeowners who have already expanded their condominiums into former balcony space have executed a document expressing the understanding of paragraph 12. Those homeowners wishing to expand into balcony space should secure a copy of this agreement from the building Manager before starting their expansion planning. This document must be executed before expansion authority will be requested of the Board and City of Coronado.
SECTION III Tradesman & Contractor Instructions
III. TRADESMEN AND CONTRACTOR INSTRUCTIONS ADVANCE INSTRUCTION FOR CONTRACTOR AND TRADESMEN:
a. Any proposed structural modification or alteration within a unit will require plans to be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Plan submittals must meet City of Coronado building code requirements before approval can be provided. A start and completion date must accompany this plan. b. Where applicable, a building permit from the City of Coronado must be placed on file with the Association. c. Required licenses, permits and insurance to work in the building must be provided for Association files. d. A deposit of US$500 fee (of which $300 is refundable) is required before work can begin.

If damage is greater than the $500 deposit, the Contractor must pay for such expense. The contractor remains responsible to clean hallways each day. e. Agree to observe parking requirements for La Perla Tower. These requirements permit the use of two (2) parking stalls (indicated by signs in front of the building) to unload and load equipment and materials, but not more than one hour per use. Vehicles thereafter must be parked in the public beach parking area immediately south of the building. Out of consideration for occupants of adjacent condominiums, working hours shall be from 8AM to 6PM Monday through Friday. Tradesmen will not initiate loud construction noise prior to 9AM and discontinue such noise by 5PM. Tradesmen will not work in La Perla Tower on Saturday, Sunday, or any holiday (except for emergencies) without prior approval of the Building Manager. Please see the doorperson for instructions.
a. Permits for work to be performed must be placed on file with the City and the Association. The Board must approve the work before it is to begin. b. Low cross-bar windows may not be installed. Floor to ceiling window walls are not permitted. c. Owners must replace windows with full tempered glass and attain a heavy commercial rating of HC-40 as established by the American National Standards Institute. This will satisfy the maximum wind load requirement for the Penthouse level where the safety standards are the highest.
