The Directors of the Association may, after affording the Member an opportunity to be heard, suspend any person from Membership in the Association during any period of time when there exists a violation of any of the provisions of the Deed of Subdivision (including, but not limited to, the failure to make any payment to the Association when due and payable under the terms of the Deed of Subdivision) with respect to the lot he/she owns or when he/she is in violation of any rule or regulation adopted by the Association with respect to the Property.
(B) Each Member of the Association, by becoming such, agrees that he/she shall be personally responsible for the payment of the charges created under the Deed of Subdivision with respect to the lot he/she owns and for compliance by himself/herself, his/her family, guests, and invitees, with the provisions of the said Deed and the rules and regulations adopted by the Association with respect to the Property, including the prohibition set forth in Article XI of these Bylaws on providing Short Term Lodging, as that term is defined in Article 20 of Chapter 112 (Zoning) of the 1976 Code of the County of Fairfax.
The qualifications set forth herein for Membership in the Association shall be the only qualifications for such Membership.
Section 2. Voting Rights. The Members of the Association shall have the right to vote for the election of Directors. Each Member of the Association shall have one vote, except that:
(A) Any person owning more than one lot shall have the number of votes equal to the number of lots owned.
(B) When any lot is owned of record in joint tenancy or tenancy-in-common, or in any other manner of joint or common ownership, such owners shall collectively be entitled to only that number of votes to which one person would be entitled were he/she the owner of such lot.
