11.1 Establishment; Implementation; Variances.

(a) The Master Condominium. The Master Condominium Assembly may establish covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements and may modify same in order to improve the management, operation and maintenance of the Master Condominium. Administrators must implement said covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements subject and pursuant to the Master Rules, the Master Condominium Declarations, the Administrators Rules, the Design Guidelines, and all other applicable rules, regulations, standards, resolutions, or guidelines issued by the Master Condominium Assembly, and the Law, and all Owners must abide by such covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements, which must be set forth as required in the rules and regulations of the Master Condominium. All Owners, Occupants, and their Guests must be familiar with the covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements of both the Master Condominium and the applicable Sub-Condominium. Administrators may, in extenuating circumstances, grant temporary variances from covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements in the Master Condominium, if Administrators reasonably determine (i) that a covenant, condition, or restriction creates a substantial hardship or burden on an Owner or Occupant and (ii) that such temporary variance will not have any substantial adverse effect on other Owners or Occupants of the Master Condominium. Such temporary variance may be granted only until the matter can be decided at the next regular Master Condominium Assembly and affected Ordinary Sub- Condominium Assembly.

(b) Sub-Condominiums. The Ordinary Sub-Condominium Assembly may also establish covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements and may modify same in order to improve the managements, operation, and maintenance of the Sub-Condominium. Such covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements must be set forth in the Sub- Condominium Rules or the Sub-Condominium Administrators Rules. Sub-Condominium Administrators may, in extenuating circumstances, grant temporary variances from covenants, conditions, and restrictions if Sub-Condominium Administrators reasonably determine (i) that a covenant, condition, or restriction creates a substantial hardship or burden on an Owner or Occupant and (ii) that such temporary variance will not have any substantial adverse effect on other Owners or Occupants of the Sub-Condominium. Such temporary variance may be granted only until the matter can be decided at the next regular Ordinary Sub-Condominium Assembly. Any covenant, condition, restriction, or reservation of easement approved by the Ordinary Sub- Condominium Assembly must be consistent with, but may be stricter than, the covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements of the Master Condominium. All Owners must be familiar with the covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of easements of both the Master Condominium and the Sub-Condominium.
