We have received complaints about several CC&R violations that we plan to more proactively address moving forward.
Yards
Section 12.6 (a) of the CC&Rs states that “the front yard of each Lot shall be landscaped within a period of one (1) year following completion or occupancy of the Living Unit” and that “side and rear yards shall be landscaped within a period of two (2) years following completion or occupancy of each Living Unit.” These one- and two-year deadlines do not reset with a change of homeowner. Also, the obligation to landscape ones yard does not cease to exist if a previous homeowner failed to complete the landscaping within the specified timeline. Therefore, all homeowners in our neighborhood should already have landscaped their entire yard by now (i.e. there are no homes that have not been completed/inhabited for less than two years). If your yard has not yet been landscaped, please begin making plans now to get this done as soon as possible.
Fences
Section 11.3 (h) of the CC&Rs states that “each Owner of a Lot shall be required to install, within two (2) years of the purchase of a Lot, and shall thereafter maintain at his own expense, a fence along the rear boundary and side yards of his Lot behind the face of his Living Unit, provided, however that when such Lot abuts another Lot located within the Project the cost of such fence shall be divided equally between the Owners of the adjacent Lots based upon the cost of such fencing per linear foot.” The CC&Rs also state that fences constructed “shall be six (6) feet in height and shall be white vinyl privacy fences.” Once again, this two-year deadline does not reset with a change of homeowner, nor does the obligation to put in a fence cease to exist if a previous homeowner failed to put the fence in within the specified timeline. Therefore, all homeowners in our neighborhood should already have fenced-in their entire back and side yards by now. If your back and/or side yards are not already fenced-in, please begin making plans now to get this done as soon as possible.
Driveways
Section 11.3 (i) of the CC&Rs states that “driveway and other flat paved areas may be concrete, exposed aggregate concrete, stamped concrete, quarry tile, brick or paving blocks. Gravel areas and asphalt are not permitted.” If you have extended your driveway using gravel, it needs to be paved using one of the aforementioned materials. Please begin making plans now to get this done as soon as possible.
Trailers
Section 11.5 of the CC&Rs states that “no boats, trailers, large trucks or commercial vehicles belonging to Owners or other residents of the Property shall be parked on any side, rear, or front yard of any Lot or upon the public streets within the Development, except temporary parking upon public streets not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours.” If you have a boat, trailer, RV, etc. that you are currently parking in your driveway or on the street, please begin making plans to park it elsewhere.
If you are in violation of one or more the above, please begin to make plans now to remedy these violations over the course of summer months. If you have questions or concerns, please contact a member of the HOA board.
