The placement and installation of underwater lights, like the addition of other improvements on the island, is governed by the deed restrictions of Key Allegro.

What this means is that anyone wishing to install underwater lights must apply for a permit from the Architectural Control Committee.  Failure to do so may mean that the lighting in question may be required to be removed, at the owner's expense.  These lights may also expose the owner to serious personal liabilities, as described below.

It should be kept in mind that if there are injuries to persons or property caused by lighting that is not installed in accordance with the applicable codes,  the owner of the lighting may be liable for any  damages caused  by his or her lights, and in the case of personal injuries, the damages may be quite large.  So, the Board encourages all homeowners to apply for, and obtain a permit before installing any underwater lighting.

Also, if you should have purchased a home with such lighting, you are advised to check to insure that the lighting has been installed pursuant to a valid permit, and applicable codes.  If not, it is requested that that you immediately contact the ACC and request a permit, whereupon the committee will help you to insure that the lights are, in fact, in full compliance.
