LANCASTER COUNTY
Certain property situate in Manor Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is subject to a certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Wood's Edge (ResidentialTownhouse and Multi-Family). This Declaration has been recorded on September 30, 1987, in the Recorder of Deeds Office at Lancaster, Pennsylvania in Book 2239, Page 223, et. seq., and has heretofore been amended by a First Amendment which has been recorded on May 2, 1990, in the Recorder of Deeds Office at Lancaster, Pennsylvania in Book 2892, Page 363, et. seq., and a Second Amendment which has been recorded on March 1, 1991, in the Recorder of Deeds Office at Lancaster, Pennsylvania in Book 3094, Page 213, et. seq. [ NOTE: Info on Third Amendment missing.]
Pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Third Amendment, the Declaration may be amended during the first thirty year period (until September 30, 2017) by an instrument signed by not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Owners of all Lots. As Owners of more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Lots which are subject to the Declaration, the undersigned owners are entitled to amend said Declaration.
[NOTE: The Declaration of 1987 and 1991 called for an instrument signed by not less than ninety percent (90%) of Owners in order to Amend the Declaration. It is almost unheard of to get 90% of any group of people to vote for anything.]
