(May 7, 2020) The Ocean Pines Board of Directors approved amendments to three resolutions tied to the Architectural Review Committee and another related to the Golf Advisory Committee during its virtual meeting on Saturday.

With nary a word, on May 2 the board unanimously approved changes to Resolutions M-01, M-04 and C-02 that concern lot maintenance and C-11 to revamp Golf Advisory Committee membership.

Resolution M-01 outlines ARC procedures to document aesthetic violations. Under the guidelines, if a homeowner fails to address violations not granted an extension or variance ARC notifies the responsible party and OPA General Manager John Viola, with the revised language now including a new reporting form for violations.

Resolution M-04 was revised to eliminate language permitting the Board of Directors to vote to authorize entry onto private lots to address refuse and debris.

The third resolution concerning ARC procedures was C-02 that was revised to eliminate the term “when appropriate” for referring violations noted by the Compliance, Permitting and Inspection to the OPA General Manager.

Lastly, the board also revised resolution C-11 outlining membership for the Golf Advisory Committee, which will now include one representative from the Ocean Pines Ladies Golf Association, Ocean Pines Men’s Golf Association and the Ocean Pines Golf Course Members Council.
