| A WORD FROM THE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN |
| Most violation complaints notices are generated by a complaint from a neighbor and their identity remains anonymous. Contrary to popular belief, we don't have people searching the neighborhood looking for violators. However, as our neighborhood gets older, some homeowners are forgetting that they signed a legal document binding them to the restrictions within our covenants. It is the obligation of the community to report violations and the committees to reasonably enforce the bylaws in order protect our property values and community aesthetics. If you are given a violation, please make every effort to promptly comply. The Committee has established the following notification procedure: First Notice - The homeowner is served a notice indicating the type of violation, the suggested corrective action and a date that it needs to be corrected. This date is usually two weeks, with three weekends allowing sufficient corrective time to have the homeowner resolve the violation. Second Notice - The homeowner is served another notice the day after the corrective date has passed when the homeowner is still in violation. This is a reminder that it needs to be corrected. You need to contact the Committee Chairman if you have questions or run into difficulties resolving your violation. Final Notice - The recalcitrant homeowner is served a notice indicating that they have five days to prepare a written request for a hearing in front of the BOD prior to the Board beginning to fine the property owner up to $25 per day for each violation per day in which the violation continues. Fines will be collected on a monthly basis through our attorney in the same manner as our yearly dues assessment. Unpaid assessments and legal fees will result in a lien being placed on your home, in accordance with Homeowners Association lien rights, Article XIII, Section 13.06 (d). |
And remember: BOATS, TRAILERS, COMMERCIAL, JUNK OR UNREGISTERED VEHICLES, TRASH, BULK MATERIALS, CHILDREN'S PLAY TOYS, EQUIPMENT OR MACHINERY STORED IN FRONT OF ANY HOME IS INCONSIDERATE OF NEIGHBORS AND IN VIOLATION OF OUR COVENANTS. TO AVOID COSTLY CHANGES AFTER THE FACT, ALWAYS OBTAIN WRITTEN APPROVAL FOR ANY OUTDOOR MODIFICATION TO YOUR HOME BY PROCESSING AN ARCHITECTURAL CHANGE REQUEST. |
