Garbage:
- Trash, rubbish, stored materials or other unsightly items are not to be kept on the homeowner’s lot. Additionally, the storage of your trash cans are to be stored out of sight from the street.

Yard Maintenance:
- Home exteriors and lots are to be maintained. This includes keeping the grass cut and the landscaping maintained. This includes seeding, weeding, bush and tree trimming, and any yard debris.
Parking:
- Parking on the street regularly is prohibited. Our streets are narrow, and emergency vehicles must have access to homes in case of emergencies. Street parking also makes it difficult for neighbors to get in and out of their driveway.
- If you need occasional overflow parking, the pool parking lot is available. Please keep in mind during these hot summer months, many neighbors are enjoying the pool and there are limited parking spots available there as well.
Animals:
- Your dog must be leashed while off of your property. If you’re walking your dog, please remove waste appropriately.
What if you have a concern with a neighbor’s covenant violation?
As always, we encourage you to talk with your neighbor. This is generally the best and most effective way to resolve a concern.
If violations still occur, complaints can be submitted through the form on the website. Please complete the website form which includes information about the violation, the address that is in violation, the date, and your name and address. If the violation is parking related, we also ask for the date and time the car was parked, address where the car was parked, information about the car such as make, color and license number.
What happens when the HOA Board receives a complaint?
When the HOA Board receives a complaint, we will inform the homeowner that a complaint has been received and request that they resolve the issue. We strive to mail the complaint to the homeowner within 24 hours of receiving the complaint.
Please note: If a homeowner receives complaints on 2 separate days in a calendar month, a fine of $50 will be added to the homeowner’s HOA dues. Each violation after the second complaint over the next 90 days will result in an additional $50 fine.
