any other act for any such injury, abatement, removal
or planting.

the external appearance of buildings already constructed, it being provided
that no buildings or structures, fences, detached buildings, outbuildings,
accessory buildings, satellite dishes, antennas, swimming pools, tennis court
or other structures may be erected or structurally altered on any of said lots
unless there shall be first had the written approval of a majority of the
Trustees to the plans and specifications therefore and to the grade proposed

fail to approve or disapprove within thirty (30) days after building plans or
other specifications for fences, swimming pools or tennis courts, accessory
buildings, satellite dishes and other outbuildings have been submitted to them
hereunder, approval will not be required and the related restrictions shall be
deemed to have been fully complied with.

governed by the terms and provisions of this Paragraph and Paragraph 3 of
Article VI as same pertain to the main residential building and related
buildings and structures initially constructed by First Party and the First

variance and (2) additional installation cost to comply is not a good cause for
variance.
In exercising the powers
herein granted for approval or disapproval, the Trustees shall consider, among
other things, the aesthetics of any proposed construction and its impact on the
overall appearance of Bee Tree Estates Addition.
The Trustees shall have
the power to grant such variances to the above restrictions as they deem

V
ASSESSMENTS
The Trustees and their
successors in office are hereby authorized, empowered and granted the right to
make assessments upon and against lots in Bee Tree Estates Addition for the
purposes herein stated and at the rate hereinafter provided, and in the manner
and subject to the provisions of this instrument.
1. (a) Annual Assessments. The Trustees and their successors in office
are authorized to make uniform annual assessments in an amount not to exceed
Four Hundred Dollars ($400.00) per lot in each calendar year upon and against
each lot in any plat of Bee Tree Estates Addition upon which a residence has
been constructed, for the purpose of carrying out any and all of the general
duties and powers of the Trustees hereunder and for the further purpose of
enabling the Trustees to defend and enforce restrictions adequately, to
maintain streets, if required, common land, utilities, parking spaces, street
lights, cul-de-sacs, detention areas, entrance gates and markers, and trees,
and all other non-public items and to dispose of garbage or rubbish, to perform
or execute any powers or duties provided for in this instrument, or otherwise
properly to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of
Bee Tree Estates Addition.
Commencing with the sixth
annual assessment to be made hereunder, and each five years thereafter, the
fixed annual assessment per lot shall not exceed the greater of (i) Four
Hundred Dollars ($400.00) or (ii) the number of dollars equivalent to the
purchasing power of Four Hundred Dollars ($400.00) for the month in which this
Indenture is recorded. Such number of dollars
shall be determined by dividing Four Hundred Dollars ($400.00) by the index for
said month of recording as computed in the Consumers Price Index made by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for St.
Louis Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, and then multiplying the
quotient by the similar index number for the month in which the sixth annual
assessment (and each succeeding sixth annual assessment thereafter)
commences. If the Bureau of Labor
Statistics shall change the base period in effect during the month in which
this Indenture is recorded, the new index figure applicable as a divisor and
multiplier shall be correspondingly changed.
In the event such statistics shall no longer be available the most
nearly similar statistics showing the purchasing power of United States Dollars
shall be used instead, and the table to be used shall be designated by the
Trustees.
Lots not improved with a
residence five (5) years from the date of recording of the plat creating said
lots shall be annually assessed at the same rate a lot improved with a
residence is assessed; provided, however, the assessment provisions of this
Indenture shall not apply to any vacant lot owned by First Party, nor to any
lot having thereon a building which lot and building are offered for sale by
First Party, but if a residence retained by First Party is occupied, it shall
be subject to the assessment provisions hereof.
The initial annual
assessment against a lot shall begin on the first day of the month beginning
after the date the original home purchaser took title from First Party or in
the event of a residence retained by First Party on the date the residence was
first occupied and the initial amount of assessment due shall be an amount
equal to the fraction of the year remaining times the annual assessment for
that calendar year. Thereafter the total
annual assessment shall be due against the lot regardless of whether or not the
residence is occupied.
1. (b) Special Assignments. If at any time the Trustees consider it
necessary to make any expenditure requiring an assessment additional to the
annual assessment, they shall submit a written outline of the contemplated
project and the amount of the assessment required, to the owners of each lot in
the subdivision. This additional
assessment including an increase in the annual assessment from that time
forward must then be approved in writing by fifty-five percent (55%) of the
record owners of the lots in the subdivision.
The approval may be obtained by the Trustees by securing the signatures
of not less than fifty-five percent (55%) of the owners of the lots in the
subdivision to an agreement authorizing the additional assessment or by the
affirmative vote of at least fifty-five percent (55%) of the owners of the lots
in the subdivision at a meeting called for such purpose. Notice of such additional assessment shall be
given with such assessment becoming delinquent thirty (30) days after the date
of such notice.
1. (c) Storm Water Sewers. The Trustees are hereby authorized and
directed to make and collect a separate annual assessment for storm water
sewers and facilities, until such time that all said storm water sewers and
facilities are dedicated to and accepted by the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer
District or its successors or assigns; such assessment amount shall be
Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) annually.
2. Delinquent Interest. All assessments shall bear interest at the
rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date of delinquency and such
assessments, together with interest shall constitute a lien (if not paid within
60 days after written notification) upon a dwelling until against which it is
assessed until the amount, together with interest and charges, is fully paid. As an assessment becomes delinquent, the
Trustees may execute and acknowledge an instrument reciting the levy of the
assessment and cause the same to be recorded in the Recorders Office of St.
Louis County, Missouri. Such assessment
may be enforced in the same manner as is provided by law for the enforcement of
special tax liens against real estate, except that such assessment shall not
have priority over existing mortgages, or deeds of trust. Should an owner pay an assessment after the
recording of a notice thereof, as herein provided, the Trustees shall release
said lien (as shown by recorded instrument) by executing, acknowledging and
recording (at the expense of the owner of the property attached) a release of
such assessment with respect to any lot or lots affected, and the Trustees
shall cause to be noted from time to time in the minutes of their proceedings,
the payments made on account of assessments.
In the event that the Trustees are required to incur attorneys’ fees in
order to collect any delinquent assessments, said Trustee shall have the right
to collect such attorneys’ fees from the lot owner and such fees, if not paid
within 60 days after written notification, shall be a lien on the lot until
paid.
3. Depository. The Trustees shall deposit the funds coming
into their hands as Trustees in a bank protected by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or at an administrative services agency such as
4. Budget. All assessments, made by the Trustees for the
purposes hereinabove enumerated, shall be made in the manner and subject to the
following procedure, to-wit:
(a) The Trustees shall annually prepare a budget
in which the anticipated revenue and anticipated expenditures for the ensuing
calendar year are set forth. The
Trustees shall attempt to limit the anticipated expenditures so that the same
do not exceed the anticipated revenues.
(b) Notice of all assessments may be given by
mail addressed to the last known or usual post office address of the holder of
a fee simple estate and deposited in the United States mail with postage
prepaid, or may be given by posting a brief notice of assessment upon the lot
or dwelling unit itself.
