Also, Covenants, Article IV, Section 2 and 2A (pg.5)– “Right of Enjoyment – Each owner shall have a non-exclusive right and easement of enjoyment in and to the Common Area … subject to the following provision: "The right of the Association to pass reasonable rules, with respect to the Common Area, for the health, comfort, safety and welfare of persons using same;" and Section 3 – Delegation of Enjoyment "...except that the Board of Directors may forbid or regulate use of recreational facilities by non-residents."

Each Stonepine household will be allowed up to 3 accompanied guests per day(1), plus any immediate family, (2) on park areas containing the tennis courts, playground equipment, and picnic gazebo. The members themselves must be responsible for opening and locking the court gates. The codes will not be given out to non-members.

Stonepine Overall Association Court Usage Agreement
I am a resident, in good standing, of Stonepine Overall Association.
I understand that anyone wanting the code for the tennis courts must be a Stonepine resident and sign this usage agreement.
I will not give the Stonepine tennis court lock code to anyone, including other residents.
I understand that any guests I allow on the tennis courts must be accompanied by me at all times, and I must make sure the locks are secure when I leave the court. I also understand that I am responsible to take measures to prevent my guests from determining the code by examination of the lock when it is in an open position.
Any other use of the courts by non-residents is considered trespassing and a liability to all Stonepine residents.
Non-compliance with this policy will result in losing rights to use of the courts for 60 days.
Stonepine Overall Board reserves the right to change the lock code as is necessary, and without prior notice, to protect the interests of all Stonepine residents.
I understand that these measures are due to Stonepine Overall Association Board attempting to limit insurance liability, and to efforts to protect the residents of Stonepine.
