A. No animal may be housed or boarded anywhere within
Royale Sands Beach Club without prior written consent of the Board of
Directors. Residents whose visitors wish to bring their pets to the
development are subject to the same requirement of obtaining the written
consent of the Board of Directors for the "visiting" pet(s).
Written consent is obtained by completing a "Request for Household Pet
Occupancy" form, submitting it to the Board of Directors for review at
their next regularly scheduled monthly meeting and receiving back a copy of
the approved form. Without that written consent, residents are prohibited
from allowing visitors to bring their pets on the grounds. Failure to obtain
prior written consent of the Board of Directors shall be cause for a fine in
the amount of $10.00 per day or a maximum of $1,500 to be levied upon the
owner of the unit in violation. Pets shall be limited to a maximum weight of
30 pounds, fully-grown. This weight limitation shall be equally applicable
to "visiting" pets. Pets shall be limited to no more than a total
of 1 dog or 2 cats and such caged pets that do not require being outside of
an enclosed habitat.
Tenant occuped units may have
2 indoor cats only. No other pets are allowed. Visitor pets are not allowed
in tenant occupied units.

Royale Sands Beach Club. Such ordinances may be enforced by local
authorities including the Animal Control Officer, without regard to the
Royale Sands Beach Club Household Pet Rules.
C. Application for written permission to house a pet
within a condominium unit shall be made in writing to the Board of Directors
only by the Owner of a unit, using the form Request for Household Pet
Occupancy. No such application shall be accepted by the Board unless the
Unit Owner is current in all fees, fines and assessments. The application
will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the
Board of Directors.

Household Pet Occupancy, shall issue its permission in writing.

can be removed by majority vote of the Board following a hearing with the
pet owner.

costs should an animal have to be removed from Royale Sands Beach Club by
direction of the Board. Costs incurred shall include all legal fees incurred
by the Association. All costs incurred shall be assessed to the Unit.

will be the full responsibility of the Unit Owner to whom the pet is
registered; the Unit Owner is responsible to the Association for paying all
expenses to restore the area.
J. Unit Owners who allow guests to bring animals onto
Royale Sands Beach Club property shall be fully responsible for the actions
of such animal and ensuring compliance with the Association Pet Rules. Any
visiting animal that is viewed to be vicious or intimidating must be removed
from the property immediately upon verbal request of any Unit Owner or
occupant.
K. All incidents and violations of pet rules must be
reported to the Board in writing and signed by the complainant. Prior to the
Board taking action, the owner of the pet involved shall be notified by the
Board to appear for a hearing on the matter. The decision of the Board will
be final.
L. All pets will be kept inside the units at all times
except when held on a leash no more than six (6) feet in length. Under no
circumstances will any pet be allowed to roam freely on the Common Areas of
the property and must be under complete control of the handler at all times.
M. Only the unit-owner pets described on each Request for
Household Pet Occupancy form will be permitted to be permanently housed on
the premises. No permanent additional or different pet is authorized without
an additional request.
N. All pets will be kept duly licensed and maintained in
accordance with local and state regulations including all immunization
records.
O. No animal may be leashed to any stationary object of
any unit or upon the Common Areas or be left unattended on Limited Common
Areas (such as unit balconies, front steps, or patios).
P. All pets may be outside the registered unit when they
are leashed and properly supervised. The handler of the pet must have a
plastic bag or pooper scooper in their possession whenever the pet is
outside. The handler of the pet must remove waste excreted by any animal
under their control immediately and properly dispose of it.
