Dear Owners of the Arabian Ranches 1 Community:

Given that:

1. We have not seen any Master Community Declaration by ECM with regards to the Arabian Ranches (1) community, as required under Law 6 of 2019, Art 21, to be approved by RERA, setting out rights of home owners, including contractually with Emaar.

2. Given the increasing cost pressures on the community, and the need to ensure the right priorities are being pursued and the most value-adding investments are being undertaken for the betterment of the community, the value of the AR1 development and the enhancement of the quality of life of residents.

3. A registered HOA with RERA will allow the AR1 owners to interface with Emaar, per Law 6 of 2019 Art 22 (b), which states that Cat 1 developments are allowed to have an HOA. A committee will be approved by RERA Art 18 (a), which provisions that a Major Project will have an Owners Committee (“HOC”) constituted of members approved by RERA.

4. In order for owners to file this request with RERA, per Art 22 (b), to constitute an HOC upon the registration of at least 10% of unit owners on the DLD Property Register upon which the HOC will select from its members a Chair who will represent it before the ECM and RERA.

5. Per Art 24, the HOC is granted (1) rights to verify the O&M and repair of common parts, (2) review and provide recommendations on the annual budgets and to request financial reports. The HOC can also (3) discuss difficulties related to the management operation and repair of the common parts and submit recommendations to ECM OR RERA as the case may be. 24 (4) notify complaints and suggestions of Owners to RERA if ECM fails within 14 days of notice.

This petition is being filed to showcase that at least 10% of the unit holders within the Arabian Ranches 1 (Wadi Al Safa 6) community would like to set up a Home Owners Association along the following high level vision:

A - to uphold the value and integrity of the community,

B - to interface with ECM and RERA and the UAE courts when required,

C - to ensure ECM provides value added services to the community and a safe secure quality environment for the community,

D - to ensure that service charges and fees are charged fairly, economically, and in the best interests of the community and in accordance with UAE and Dubai laws.

The Arabian Ranches 1 HOC will need to additionally further build out the required governance, along the following high level guiding principles:

i- A 9 member committee including key skill sets, such as: (i) accountancy/auditing (ii) tech (iii) architecture (iv) MEP engineer (v) Landscape engineer (vi) legal (vii) general management, and/or other key skills TBD, all able to support the community, not to mention the required time commitment.

ii- Review the mechanism for changes in committee members, holding meetings quorum, general assemblies, etc

iii- Review representation quotas of all communities within AR1

iv- Define authorized spokespersons, signatories etc

v- appointment of professionals/consultants/ sub committees

vi- manage and oversee costs and expenses of HOC if any.
