SMOKING
At a meeting that we had several years ago someone requested that people do not smoke in the common areas.
After much discussion it was decided to have the Board invoke the use of the Declaration of Condominiums
Article 6, Section 6-2, 4th paragraph - which states " No unit owner or authorized occupant shall permit or
suffer anything to be done .... or which will obstruct or interfere with the rights of other occupants or annoy
them by unreasonable noises or otherwise".
It was felt that this Article was broad enough that the Board would have the right to limit smoking if it
annoyed anyone. Last night via vote we just made that issue more definitive as a new Rule and
Regulation. It was felt that this Article was broad enough that the Board would have the right to limit
smoking if it annoyed anyone.
SMOKING/MARIJUANA: A motion was made to address Marijuana but we already have in place a rule
covering that issue. [MINUTES JUNE 29, 2017]
SMOKING: A vote was taken and passed to amend the current by-law from 25 feet from the building to
making our properties smoke free smoking anywhere. [MINUTES AUGUST 17, 2018] [MINUTES
AUGUST 6, 2012]
Effective immediately smoking material of any kind is banned from the common areas, porches and
individual units. There is to be no smoking unless it is in a designated smoking area. The area of
designation was left to the board. The board has decided the designated smoking area will be behind the
unit of the owners building. Smoking is not to be done within 25 feet of any building or common area and
must not drift into the windows or porch of any unit. All smoking debris needs to be disposed of in a
proper manner and is not to be left on the grounds. Kim Clifton will look into purchasing some signs to go
on the unit entry ways declaring our tobacco free status. [MINUTES AUGUST 17, 2018]
SMOKING: A vote was taken to make Fontaine Oaks a completely free environment. No smoking anywhere
in the building or grounds. This includes visitors and workmen. [MINUTES JUNE 3, 2021]
