| II. GENERAL CONDITIONS GOVERNING USE OF THE WLIC PROPERTY (Penalty Category - Administrative/Safety, unless noted otherwise) |
WLIC holds title to the WLIC Property in trust for the benefit of the Members. It has been granted the authority by the
courts of the State of Missouri to make, promulgate, administer and enforce Rules and Regulations for the use of this
Property. The Rules and Regulations are for the benefit of the Members and their immediate family members and guests, and
have as their purpose the promotion and enhancement of the Members use and enjoyment of the Property. Each person
exercising the privilege of using WLIC Property shall carefully observe all of the Rules and Regulations, as this is essential for
the safety and welfare of Members and is necessary to maintain Weatherby Lake as an enjoyable and safe recreational area
and place to live.
Members shall insure that their immediate family members and guests comply with all Rules and Regulations. Violation of the
Rules and Regulations by an immediate family member or guest shall be regarded as a violation by a Member and shall
subject the Member to the fines and suspensions provided in these Rules and Regulations.
To ensure against use and/or abuse of WLIC Property by trespassers or other unauthorized users, Member tags are issued
to Members in Good Standing when assessments and fees are paid. These (black) tags are attached to an elastic wrist band
and carry a year and family number for identification. Red independent user tags are for non resident relatives. Red tags, two
per household maximum are available upon request for use by a Members immediate family not residing with the Member.
Proper use of independent user tags permit the relative to utilize the lake and access areas without being physically
supervised by the Member. Non resident permits are for the use of non resident Property Owners only. Responsibility for all
tags rests with the Member to whom they are issued. Tags must not be loaned or given to others. Member and independent
user tags are to be available for display upon request when the Member and/or family members are using WLIC Property.
Loss of any of the tags should be immediately reported to the WLIC office.
The privilege of using WLIC Property is personal and is terminated when the Member ceases to be a Member in Good
Standing.
Each Member, immediate family member and guest enjoying Use Privileges will, while in the exercise of such privileges,
assume the risk of all injuries or damage he may suffer therefrom, and shall hold harmless the WLIC, its Board of Directors,
officers, employees and agents and its Members. The WLIC does not assume any risks or liability, and does not warrant
Weatherby Lake or other WLIC Property to be safe for any such purpose or Use Privileges. On the contrary, the WLIC
warns each and every person who may wish to enjoy such privileges that the greatest care is necessary for their safety and
protection.
Any personal property found on Weatherby Lake or other WLIC Property which is abandoned or whose owner cannot be
identified shall be disposed of by the WLIC without notice. No trash or debris, including, but not limited to, grass, leaves or
brush, shall be deposited into the Lake or upon WLIC Property.
No Member shall use, or permit another person to use, Weatherby Lake or WLIC Property for commercial purposes,
including, but not limited, to training or instruction of Members or non-Members, unless approved in writing by the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors may prohibit such activities if, in its opinion, such use interferes with the use of WLIC by
other Members; poses any threat to health, safety or environment; exposes WLIC to any risk of liability; or, is not conducive
to the general use and enjoyment of WLIC Property by Members. The Board of Directors may establish uniform fees for
commercial use of WLIC Property by Members or impose such other conditions as it deems necessary.
Volunteer Mowers/Landscapers:
The WLIC grants its permission to the members who wish to mow and/or otherwise help maintain the property owned by
the WLIC, whether the property is adjacent to the member’s property, or not. Further, any member who adds landscaping
or attempts other ‘improvements’ to WLIC property does so as a proffer of a gift to the WLIC. The WLIC may accept or
reject such proffer to make a gift, and upon rejection the ‘improvement’ shall be removed and the property returned to its
original condition by the member, at the member’s expense. In the case where a member fails to remove the improvement
and/or return the property to its prior condition, then after notice by the WLIC, the member shall reimburse the WLIC for
any expense incurred by the WLIC to return the property to its prior condition. Only a Resolution by the Board of
Directors shall be construed as acceptance of any such proffer of a gift.

A. GENERAL: The Space and Dock Committee appointed pursuant to WLIC By-Laws is charged with responsibility for
administering Rules and Regulations respecting access areas and lakefront Structures. The Board of Directors may allocate
part of the lake shore line in access areas for the placement of Structures or the mooring of boats. Assignment of a space
does not entitle a Member to exclusive right to a specific amount of shore line. The Space and Dock Committee has the
authority to relocate, reassign, move or adjust a Member's space assignment based on the needs of the WLIC.
Individual Structures or facilities at such sites or spaces are the Member’s private property and the rights of Members must
be respected. Sites or spaces are assigned and controlled by the Space and Dock Committee. Spaces shall not exceed 12 ft
along the shoreline unless adjusted by the Space and Dock Committee to accommodate approved Structures and
watercraft. The starting and ending boundary will be established by the Space and Dock Committee. The Space and Dock
Committee is committed that every eligible WLIC member who desires an access area space will be offered an open space,
if available, within 30 days of making application for an access area space.
B. ACCESS AREA SPACE ASSIGNMENTS:
A Member in Good Standing owning other than lakefront property may apply for and obtain assignment of a shoreline space
suitable for placing a Structure and/or a watercraft upon the water adjacent to an access area. All watercraft in WLIC
improved access areas must be moored to a Structure. This requirement is at the discretion of the Space and Dock
Committee in unimproved access areas. No member may have assigned more than two (2) assigned access area spaces at
any given point in time. Structures placed upon assigned spaces shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with
standard designs approved from time to time by the Board of Directors and published by the Space and Dock Committee.
(See Appendix C). All walkways installed at improved access areas on or after January 1, 1995 shall be 4’ wide and no
more than 10’ in length. As access areas are upgraded with improved seawalls, this requirement will be extended to such
additional areas. Existing walkways not in compliance with these regulations will not be permitted. Variances of the above
rules may be granted at the discretion of the Space and Dock Committee pursuant to Section XI of those rules. Variances
for walkways over ten (10) feet shall only be granted to the extent that a compelling need exists for the variance.
Members are allowed to swap like type spaces if approved by the Chairman of the Space and Dock Committee.
Provisions with respect to certain docks:
1. Lease Docks: The Annual Lease Dock fee is for the calendar year, and is not refundable. The annual lease
terminates the day another access area assignment is accepted or the qualifying property is sold.
2. “T” and Plastic Docks: "T" docks are acceptable for use where an improved seawall does not exist. Those previously
approved “T” docks that exist in improved access areas may remain as long as the current owner retains the dock. The “T”
docks may not be moved or sold to a member for use in an improved access area location. Plastic docks currently on the
lake are permitted for the life of the existing Structure and may not be transferred to any other Member. Once any
component of a plastic dock, to include the wooden walkway, fails, then the entire dock must be removed from WLIC
property and can only be replaced with an approved Structure as outlined in Appendix C.
3. Double Access Spaces: Those Members with double access spaces may choose to permanently relinquish without
remuneration one of their assigned spaces to another Member in Good Standing of their choosing. The change must be
recorded with the WLIC office.
C. NEW SPACE APPLICATIONS PROCEDURE: Application forms for new access area spaces are available at the
WLIC office. Upon application, a Member in Good Standing will be provided a list of available sites to choose from. If
spaces are not available, or not available in a particularly desired access area, a Member may be placed on a maximum of
two access area waiting lists. Priority will be established by the date and hour at which the application is received at the
WLICoffice. A Member offered an access area space has three (3) days to accept after which time the space will be
offered to the next member on the waiting list. Notification of an offer will be made by first class letter and/or by telephone
and shall be deemed to have occurred on the day telephone or personal contact was made. Applications for Lease Dock
spaces count as one access area application.
D. CHANGE IN SPACE LOCATIONS: A Member with an assigned space may request only one space location in the
same or another access area. Priority used will be the date and hour the space application is received at the WLIC office.
E. SPACE FEE AND RENEWALS: An annual permit fee will be levied for each space. (See appendix B for present fee
schedule.) Members are not required to pay the fee until they accept a space. Space renewal applications accompanied by
the annual space fee are due January 1 and delinquent if not received by March 31. All renewals received after this date are
delinquent and will require a penalty payment. Failure to make payment by March 31 may result in loss of space and space
priority date. Renewal application forms are mailed to all property owners with the WLIC annual assessment notice. Space
assignments will be made and permits will be issued only to Members as defined in the By-Laws. A space assignment will
not be made to, nor will a new space application, renewal or fee be accepted from a Member not in Good Standing.
F. SITE AREA MAINTENANCE: The space and adjacent access area shall be kept free of trash, rubbish, cans, etc. by
the Member to whom the space is assigned. No picnic tables, ovens, or furniture are to be stored upon the site except as
installed by the WLIC. Boats, pontoons, automobiles, trailers and other personal property shall not be stored on access
areas except as designated by the WLIC.
G. SPACE TERMINATION: The Board of Directors may terminate a space assignment for the following reasons:
1. Failure to comply with any part of these Rules and Regulations governing Use Privileges. Decision of the Board on these
matters will be final.
2. Failure to pay fees as required in these Rules and Regulations.
3. When a space is required for a purpose that will benefit the majority of the Members. Members displaced in this case will
be given priority for space reassignment.
H. SPACES ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE: Access area spaces are not assignable or transferable with the sale, transfer
or lease (rental) of real property to an owner or occupant. Such a change in ownership or occupancy requires that the prior
owner or occupant vacate the previously assigned space and remove all personal property from same.
NOTE: SALE OR LEASE (RENTAL) OF A HOUSE OR LOT DOES NOT TRANSFER DOCK FACILITY
SPACE FROM SELLER TO BUYER OR LESSEE (RENTER)
I. LAKE FRONT OWNERS: Members owning and/or occupying any lake front property may not obtain or retain an
access area space assignment, provided, however, that an access area space may be assigned if a Member owns, but does
not occupy, such lakefront property; such lakefront property is rented to persons who have lake privileges in accordance
with Article I, Subsection G; and, the Member owns and/or occupies other non-lakefront Property which would otherwise
qualify such Member for an access area space assignment.
J. MULTIPLE MEMBER SPACE: Access area spaces may be assigned to more than one Member when it is
determined that boat or dock facilities are co-owned, are subject to the following:
1. All co-owners must be Members in Good Standing.
2. All co-owners must be listed with the WLIC as co-owners of the specific facility and one individual must be designated to
act as agent for other owner(s) in matters pertaining to the facility.
3. A space priority or “retention date” will be established for each of the owners and this date will be used to determine
space retention privileges. The space retention date will be established in the following ways:
a. The date the original owner (or owners if two or more were listed on original application) applied for a space will be the
original owner(s) retention date.
b. If a co-owner is on an access area waiting list, the date of his application will be his retention date.
c. If co-owner is not on waiting list, the date written notification is received by the WLIC office that the individual has
purchased a portion of the facility will establish the retention date.
4. In the event one of the owners sells or transfers his portion of the facility, the earliest retention date of the remaining
owners will apply. If the date is later than the date of application for a dock space by someone on the applicable access area
waiting list, the dock space will be reassigned to the Member on the top of the waiting list. In this situation, the facility must
be moved to an available vacant space or be removed from the lake. The remaining owners will not be permitted to
dislocate any other individual currently assigned a dock space. Displaced owner(s) will be given the option of having their
application integrated into the waiting list for the area in which the facility was located using the earliest retention date to
determine their priority on the list or being added to the bottom of the waiting list for another access area.
K. PETS (Penalty Category - Administrative/Safety): Absolutely no pets shall be permitted in designated swim areas,
marked areas adjacent thereto or any other area marked “No Pets”. Pets shall be kept on leash or under immediate and
effective physical control at all times in all other access areas or other WLIC Property. Property Owners or persons

Structures (docks,dock ramps, boatlifts, amusement items, stairs), seawalls, ramps and sidewalks in all access
areas.
administering Rules and Regulations respecting access areas and lakefront Structures. The Board of Directors may allocate
part of the lake shore line in access areas for the placement of Structures or the mooring of boats. Assignment of a space
does not entitle a Member to exclusive right to a specific amount of shore line. The Space and Dock Committee has the
authority to relocate, reassign, move or adjust a Member's space assignment based on the needs of the WLIC.
Individual Structures or facilities at such sites or spaces are the Member’s private property and the rights of Members must
be respected. Sites or spaces are assigned and controlled by the Space and Dock Committee. Spaces shall not exceed 12 ft
along the shoreline unless adjusted by the Space and Dock Committee to accommodate approved Structures and
watercraft. The starting and ending boundary will be established by the Space and Dock Committee. The Space and Dock
Committee is committed that every eligible WLIC member who desires an access area space will be offered an open space,
if available, within 30 days of making application for an access area space.
B. ACCESS AREA SPACE ASSIGNMENTS:
A Member in Good Standing owning other than lakefront property may apply for and obtain assignment of a shoreline space
suitable for placing a Structure and/or a watercraft upon the water adjacent to an access area. All watercraft in WLIC
improved access areas must be moored to a Structure. This requirement is at the discretion of the Space and Dock
Committee in unimproved access areas. No member may have assigned more than two (2) assigned access area spaces at
any given point in time. Structures placed upon assigned spaces shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with
standard designs approved from time to time by the Board of Directors and published by the Space and Dock Committee.
(See Appendix C). All walkways installed at improved access areas on or after January 1, 1995 shall be 4’ wide and no
more than 10’ in length. As access areas are upgraded with improved seawalls, this requirement will be extended to such
additional areas. Existing walkways not in compliance with these regulations will not be permitted. Variances of the above
rules may be granted at the discretion of the Space and Dock Committee pursuant to Section XI of those rules. Variances
for walkways over ten (10) feet shall only be granted to the extent that a compelling need exists for the variance.
Members are allowed to swap like type spaces if approved by the Chairman of the Space and Dock Committee.
Provisions with respect to certain docks:
1. Lease Docks: The Annual Lease Dock fee is for the calendar year, and is not refundable. The annual lease
terminates the day another access area assignment is accepted or the qualifying property is sold.
2. “T” and Plastic Docks: "T" docks are acceptable for use where an improved seawall does not exist. Those previously
approved “T” docks that exist in improved access areas may remain as long as the current owner retains the dock. The “T”
docks may not be moved or sold to a member for use in an improved access area location. Plastic docks currently on the
lake are permitted for the life of the existing Structure and may not be transferred to any other Member. Once any
component of a plastic dock, to include the wooden walkway, fails, then the entire dock must be removed from WLIC
property and can only be replaced with an approved Structure as outlined in Appendix C.
3. Double Access Spaces: Those Members with double access spaces may choose to permanently relinquish without
remuneration one of their assigned spaces to another Member in Good Standing of their choosing. The change must be
recorded with the WLIC office.
C. NEW SPACE APPLICATIONS PROCEDURE: Application forms for new access area spaces are available at the
WLIC office. Upon application, a Member in Good Standing will be provided a list of available sites to choose from. If
spaces are not available, or not available in a particularly desired access area, a Member may be placed on a maximum of
two access area waiting lists. Priority will be established by the date and hour at which the application is received at the
WLICoffice. A Member offered an access area space has three (3) days to accept after which time the space will be
offered to the next member on the waiting list. Notification of an offer will be made by first class letter and/or by telephone
and shall be deemed to have occurred on the day telephone or personal contact was made. Applications for Lease Dock
spaces count as one access area application.
D. CHANGE IN SPACE LOCATIONS: A Member with an assigned space may request only one space location in the
same or another access area. Priority used will be the date and hour the space application is received at the WLIC office.
E. SPACE FEE AND RENEWALS: An annual permit fee will be levied for each space. (See appendix B for present fee
schedule.) Members are not required to pay the fee until they accept a space. Space renewal applications accompanied by
the annual space fee are due January 1 and delinquent if not received by March 31. All renewals received after this date are
delinquent and will require a penalty payment. Failure to make payment by March 31 may result in loss of space and space
priority date. Renewal application forms are mailed to all property owners with the WLIC annual assessment notice. Space
assignments will be made and permits will be issued only to Members as defined in the By-Laws. A space assignment will
not be made to, nor will a new space application, renewal or fee be accepted from a Member not in Good Standing.
F. SITE AREA MAINTENANCE: The space and adjacent access area shall be kept free of trash, rubbish, cans, etc. by
the Member to whom the space is assigned. No picnic tables, ovens, or furniture are to be stored upon the site except as
installed by the WLIC. Boats, pontoons, automobiles, trailers and other personal property shall not be stored on access
areas except as designated by the WLIC.
G. SPACE TERMINATION: The Board of Directors may terminate a space assignment for the following reasons:
1. Failure to comply with any part of these Rules and Regulations governing Use Privileges. Decision of the Board on these
matters will be final.
2. Failure to pay fees as required in these Rules and Regulations.
3. When a space is required for a purpose that will benefit the majority of the Members. Members displaced in this case will
be given priority for space reassignment.
H. SPACES ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE: Access area spaces are not assignable or transferable with the sale, transfer
or lease (rental) of real property to an owner or occupant. Such a change in ownership or occupancy requires that the prior
owner or occupant vacate the previously assigned space and remove all personal property from same.
NOTE: SALE OR LEASE (RENTAL) OF A HOUSE OR LOT DOES NOT TRANSFER DOCK FACILITY
SPACE FROM SELLER TO BUYER OR LESSEE (RENTER)
I. LAKE FRONT OWNERS: Members owning and/or occupying any lake front property may not obtain or retain an
access area space assignment, provided, however, that an access area space may be assigned if a Member owns, but does
not occupy, such lakefront property; such lakefront property is rented to persons who have lake privileges in accordance
with Article I, Subsection G; and, the Member owns and/or occupies other non-lakefront Property which would otherwise
qualify such Member for an access area space assignment.
J. MULTIPLE MEMBER SPACE: Access area spaces may be assigned to more than one Member when it is
determined that boat or dock facilities are co-owned, are subject to the following:
1. All co-owners must be Members in Good Standing.
2. All co-owners must be listed with the WLIC as co-owners of the specific facility and one individual must be designated to
act as agent for other owner(s) in matters pertaining to the facility.
3. A space priority or “retention date” will be established for each of the owners and this date will be used to determine
space retention privileges. The space retention date will be established in the following ways:
a. The date the original owner (or owners if two or more were listed on original application) applied for a space will be the
original owner(s) retention date.
b. If a co-owner is on an access area waiting list, the date of his application will be his retention date.
c. If co-owner is not on waiting list, the date written notification is received by the WLIC office that the individual has
purchased a portion of the facility will establish the retention date.
4. In the event one of the owners sells or transfers his portion of the facility, the earliest retention date of the remaining
owners will apply. If the date is later than the date of application for a dock space by someone on the applicable access area
waiting list, the dock space will be reassigned to the Member on the top of the waiting list. In this situation, the facility must
be moved to an available vacant space or be removed from the lake. The remaining owners will not be permitted to
dislocate any other individual currently assigned a dock space. Displaced owner(s) will be given the option of having their
application integrated into the waiting list for the area in which the facility was located using the earliest retention date to
determine their priority on the list or being added to the bottom of the waiting list for another access area.
K. PETS (Penalty Category - Administrative/Safety): Absolutely no pets shall be permitted in designated swim areas,
marked areas adjacent thereto or any other area marked “No Pets”. Pets shall be kept on leash or under immediate and
effective physical control at all times in all other access areas or other WLIC Property. Property Owners or persons
otherwise responsible for pets shall be responsible for cleanup of feces or other debris caused or left by such animals in all
areas or on other WLIC Property.
PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES: Bicycling, skating, skate boarding and rollerblading are prohibited on all
Structures (docks,dock ramps, boatlifts, amusement items, stairs), seawalls, ramps and sidewalks in all access
areas.

B. NEW STRUCTURE (docks, dock ramps, boatlifts, amusement items, stairs) APPLICATIONS: Members who
desire to construct a new Structure shall submit their plans along with permit application and fee to the WLIC office. The
plans will provide information and/or drawings as may be reasonably required to enable a member(s) of the Space and
Dock Committee to determine if the proposed Structure will comply with these regulations. Written approval of the plans
must be obtained before beginning construction. Upon completion of construction but before placement on the lake, the
Structure must be inspected for compliance with the approved plans and dock regulations. Permits will not be issued for
docks not in compliance. An annual dock permit will be issued following a successful inspection.
C. SALES OR TRANSFERS OF EXISTING DOCKS. Permits will not be issued with respect to docks sold or
otherwise transferred from one Property Owner to another unless the dock conforms to the requirements and specifications
existing at the time of the sale or transfer for the use intended. New Property Owners will be issued permits only upon
demonstrating to a member(s) of the Space and Dock Committee that the dock conforms to the applicable specifications for
the use intended and the appropriate fees are paid. Floats on an existing dock purchased or transferred in a given calendar
year must be encapsulated by May 1 of the following year. If the dock floats are not encapsulated after May 1 of the
following year, the Property Owner shall be fined $1,000 and the Property Owner's lake Use Privileges shall be suspended.
The WLIC reserves the right to remove the dock and anything attached to the dock to the owner's Property. All costs
associated with any collection process and/or removal of the dock, et al., shall be incurred by the Property Owner.
D. PERMIT RENEWAL: Dock permits are issued on a calendar year basis. Renewal applications accompanied by the
dock permit fee shall be received in the WLIC office by March 31. All renewal applications received after this date are

forms are mailed with the annual assessment notice to all Property Owners. Applications may also be obtained at the WLIC
office.
E. PERMIT FEE: Docks adjacent to lakefront properties will be charged an annual dock permit fee. Docks adjacent to
WLIC access areas will be charged an annual access area space fee. Dock or space fees are as shown in the Schedule of
Fees in Appendix B. All privately owned docks will be issued an annual permit decal to reflect that the dock or space fee
has been paid. Where two or more WLIC members share a dock in an access area they will each pay a space fee and
each will be issued a decal and all decals will be displayed on the dock. Permits will be issued only to Members who have
paid all WLIC assessments and fees due.
Permits are issued on a calendar year basis and are transferable to a replacement dock, but can NOT be
transferred to a new owner. Permit Fees are not refundable.
F. BLOCK AND LOT IDENTIFICATION AND PERMIT INSTALLATION: All previous years permits shall be
removed. The block and lot number of the dock owner’s property shall be lettered (3 in. high) on the lake side on all docks.
Docks located in WLIC access area sites must also have such identification shown on the shore side. The dock permit shall
be installed adjacent to the block and lot number on the lake side.
Current dock permits must be installed by May 1 of the year for which they are issued.
If a boat or an attached dock structure (i.e. ladder) obstructs the view of the Permit sticker and/or Block and Lot Number,
then these identifying markers shall be moved to a location on the dock that can be easily viewed from the lake.
G. LOCATION: Except with respect to Kings Cove, the NS-1, NS-2 10 ft strips, and any property with less than 50 ft of
shoreline, a dock and/or boat must be located not less than 10 feet from the side lot line of private lake front property as
extended outward into the lake and at the exact assigned space location in access areas as extended outward into the lake
on a line perpendicular to the shoreline. Docks and/or boats shall be located so as not to interfere with the use of properly
located adjacent Structures or watercraft.
H. MAINTENANCE: Structures on WLIC property must be maintained in first class condition for personal safety and to
maintain a presentable, cared-for appearance essential to preservation of property values. In particular, floatation must be
replaced where necessary for safety and to maintain a level Structure. Only encapsulated floatation may be added. Rotted
wood must be replaced. Peeling or otherwise disfigured paint or other decorations must be scraped and repainted or

A. GENERAL: The Space and Dock Committee (the S&D Committee) may in unusual or compelling circumstances grant
variances of the rules respecting the size, placement, number, and construction of Structures by following the procedures set
forth below. All variances are subject to periodic review, and may be terminated at will by the Board of Directors.
B. VARIANCE PROCEDURE:
1. Any Member desiring a rule variance for a Structure shall apply by submitting a Variance Request Form available at www.
wlic.org or the WLIC office, together with a $50 non-refundable processing fee, to the WLIC office. Such requests shall
clearly describe and justify the variance requested. Photographs and/or drawings should be attached.
2. The Board of Directors will decide by majority vote whether or not to direct the WLIC office to publicize the request. If
so directed, the request will be posted on www.wlic.org, emailed to all Members on the WLIC list server, and mailed by
first class mail to every Member who owns property or who has an assigned access space in the relevant access area, and
to any immediately adjoining property owners. If the requested variance location is not in an access area, in addition to
posting the variance on the WLIC website, and emailing the variance to the WLIC membership list server, a copy of the
request will be sent by first class mail to at least five lake front property Members on either side of the variance location, as
well as to all access area assigned space Members located within that boundary.
3. The S&D Committee shall consider the request at its next meeting, which shall be held within 31 days of the variance
request posting. The WLIC Office will notify the requesting Member(s) of the date and time of the S&D Committee
meeting that will consider the request. Any Member may express his or her support or objection to the request at the
meeting. The S&D Committee shall determine by majority vote whether to grant or deny the requested variance. The S&D
Committee shall determine whether the variance is in the best interests of the Membership as a whole taking into account all
relevant competing considerations, including without limitation, the consequences of setting variance precedents that may
cause additional problems if broadly granted. The S&D Committee shall thereupon advise in writing the variance applicant

variances of the rules respecting the size, placement, number, and construction of Structures by following the procedures set
forth below. All variances are subject to periodic review, and may be terminated at will by the Board of Directors.
B. VARIANCE PROCEDURE:
1. Any Member desiring a rule variance for a Structure shall apply by submitting a Variance Request Form available at www.
wlic.org or the WLIC office, together with a $50 non-refundable processing fee, to the WLIC office. Such requests shall
clearly describe and justify the variance requested. Photographs and/or drawings should be attached.
2. The Board of Directors will decide by majority vote whether or not to direct the WLIC office to publicize the request. If
so directed, the request will be posted on www.wlic.org, emailed to all Members on the WLIC list server, and mailed by
first class mail to every Member who owns property or who has an assigned access space in the relevant access area, and
to any immediately adjoining property owners. If the requested variance location is not in an access area, in addition to
posting the variance on the WLIC website, and emailing the variance to the WLIC membership list server, a copy of the
request will be sent by first class mail to at least five lake front property Members on either side of the variance location, as
well as to all access area assigned space Members located within that boundary.
3. The S&D Committee shall consider the request at its next meeting, which shall be held within 31 days of the variance
request posting. The WLIC Office will notify the requesting Member(s) of the date and time of the S&D Committee
meeting that will consider the request. Any Member may express his or her support or objection to the request at the
meeting. The S&D Committee shall determine by majority vote whether to grant or deny the requested variance. The S&D
Committee shall determine whether the variance is in the best interests of the Membership as a whole taking into account all
relevant competing considerations, including without limitation, the consequences of setting variance precedents that may
cause additional problems if broadly granted. The S&D Committee shall thereupon advise in writing the variance applicant
of its decision. If the S&D Committee elects to approve a variance request, the letter to the applicant must specifically
delineate the terms and conditions of the approved variance.
4. Any Member may appeal a decision of the S&D Committee to the Board of Directors. The appeal procedure shall be
conducted as specified in Section XV, Subsection B, APPEALS. The Board’s decision shall be final.
All of the water surface of Weatherby Lake measured at full spillway level is the property of WLIC. Full spillway level is
defined as 897.5’ above mean Sea Level. WLIC shall be provided with plans and a survey prior to any construction or
alteration of the shoreline on private property. No seawalls or alteration of the shoreline shall be allowed to be undertaken
until a copy of a survey identifying the shoreline and lot corners marked with permanent stakes is submitted to and approved
by the WLIC. Plans for new seawalls or repair of existing seawalls must be submitted to the WLIC for approval prior to
construction or execution of such repairs. Construction materials other than concrete or stone must be approved in advance
by the Board. Plans for repair of existing seawalls must also be submitted to the WLIC for approval prior to execution of
such repairs. No seawall alteration may encroach upon existing water lines. No sand beaches allowed. (Note: Sand beaches
