Maintenance of Buildings and Lots

Owners of each lot must maintain all portions of his/her lot and the portion of the right of way along which the lot is located in good order and repair and in a neat, attractive condition. All additions and repairs must be done using materials having properties and qualities equal to or better than the original materials. Grass and weeds on lawn areas must not be allowed to grow more than 10 inches tall. Vegetation (trees, bushes, etc) must be maintained so they do not pose a danger and be trimmed to a height of eight feet above paths and sidewalks. If owner fails to trim branches overhanging sidewalks/paths, the Association can contract to have this work done with the cost being paid by the owner.

Covenant Complaint Procedure

Only the restrictions in the Declaration of Covenants and the rules established by the Board of Directors will be enforced by the HOA. All complaints must be submitted in writing (printed or emailed) to the Board of Directors. The complaint will be discussed in a closed meeting and if a determination that a violation does exist, the Board will notify the violator in writing.
