I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose - The Eco-Guidelines set forth herein have been enacted and will be
amended from time to time to accomplish the highest standard of
self-sustainability that can be reached for the environment and healthy
continuance of Long Caye. The goal is to create practices for sustainable
development and dwellings that minimally affect the environment. The parcel
owners are individuals who share Pleasure Island Limited’s appreciation of
nature and our concerns to maintain these important natural habitats. To ensure
the lowest possible impact on the existing plant and animal life, boardwalks will
be strategically located on the Island to elevate the human travel path as
necessary. When pathways are created for access purposes, culverts will be
installed to maintain the water flow. All dwellings are to be unobtrusive,
site-adaptive in design and must be of stilt construction to further ensure that the
water flow of the Caye is minimally disturbed and to accommodate water lens
(water table) and tidal changes. Virtually all lakes, ponds, lagoons, creeks and
other wetlands on Long Caye are to remain. Creeks and lagoons swell and the
water lens (water table) of Long Caye rises creating new habitats. The diverse
flora and fauna of the Caye is dependent upon the essential replenishment of the
fresh water supply provided by the seasonal rainfall. These Eco-Guidelines have
been established to provide policies and procedures so we can co-exist with and
have minimal impact on the natural habitats. These Eco-Guidelines will maintain
the natural condition and value of Long Caye properties and make the
community a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing Preserve.
B. Authority of Pleasure Island Limited’s Board of Directors - The Board of Directors
of Pleasure Island Limited, a Belize Corporation after having received approval
from the Government of Belize, Department of the Environment (hereinafter
referred to as the D.O.E.), shall promulgate and enact such covenants,
conditions, restrictions, rules, regulations and agreements as it deems necessary
and proper, setting forth guidelines, procedures and requirements to be followed
and complied with by parcel owners at Long Caye.
