• Adding a paragraph to The Master Transfer Agreement, which states the Developer’s pledge not to allocate any money from selling plots (Zawaya) of the units in Riffa Views to carry out any development projects that benefit the Developer, provided that the remaining funds from selling plots (Zawaya) shall be transferred to the reserve account of the Riffa Views Owners Association.
• Adding a paragraph to the Master Transfer Agreement which stipulates the Developer transferring his ownership of one of the lands in Riffa Views to the Association and making it the headquarters of the Association.
• Adding a paragraph to the Master Transport Agreement, which stipulates that in the event of the development of the land located to the left of the gate entrance (1) in Oasis estate, the Developer shall allocate it for purposes that benefit the Association, in coordination with the Board of Directors.

3- A proposal to install shades in public parking in the Riffa Views Estates

The Board reviewed the report prepared by the Board Member Mrs. Reem Akbari regarding the proposal to install shades in public parking in the Riffa Views Estates, which was submitted by a number of homeowners, and after discussing the report in detail and reviewing all its sections, the Board decided not to approve this proposal because of the effects and disadvantages it causes as follows:

• A change in the general appearance of Riffa Views, which will harm the aesthetic and picturesque aspects.
• Blocking the horizontal view of gardens and green areas, which causes harm to the homeowners and residents who are currently enjoying these aesthetic views.
• The construction cost and periodic maintenance expenses for the implementation of this proposal, which will increase the financial burdens that will be on the Association’s budget.
