Because the Association (and thus all owners collectively) and not individual owners are responsible for the cost of electricity use in detached garages and, due to the Board's belief that the detached garages were not wired for use of equipment with high energy requirements, the Board is proposing to adopt limits on the use of equipment with high electrical needs in the detached garages. The proposed rule prohibits the use in the detached garages of large appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers, and other heavy electrical devices as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Association from time to time.

As an alternative to relocating such equipment, a homeowner could elect, after obtaining the Board's written approval and at the homeowner's sole expense, to have the detached garage in question rewired in such a way that the homeowner would be solely responsible for the metered electricity used and would be solely responsible for any damages resulting from such rewiring and usage. The homeowner would be responsible for indemnifying the Association from any damages suffered as a result of such rewiring and/or usage.
