Board Meeting Highlights Continued from front...
CC&R Article 6.10
Trash Containers and Collection. No garbage or trash shall be placed or kept on any property except in covered containers
of a type, size and style which are approved by the ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE. In no event shall such containers be maintained
so as to be VISIBLE FROM NEIGHBORING PROPERTY except to make the same available for collection and then, only for the shortest
time reasonably necessary to effect such collection. The BOARD shall have the right to require all OWNERS to place their
garbage or trash containers at a specific location for collection or to require all OWNERS to subscribe to a trash collection
service. All rubbish, trash and garbage shall be removed from the LOTS and shall not be allowed to accumulate thereon. No
incinerators shall be kept or maintained on any LOT. No garbage or trash containers shall be kept or placed on any grass
or other landscaped area.
The Board has been letting this issue slide while correcting some other violations. However, a homeowner has told the Board
he will file suit against the HOA if the Board does not enforce this violation. If you receive three notices in a six month
period you will be invited to attend a Board meeting. This is a violation which the Board will send to the attorney to enforce.
The minimum cost for attorneys fees is $76.00. Any violation over the third will receive a notice informing the homeowner
that the violation has been sent to the attorney. So let's all work together to keep our community as attractive as we can.
This is something which costs nothing and takes only a few minutes a week to do.
