*The Covenants are the documents that specify the deed restrictions to which the owner agrees at closing time. The Guidelines relate to the exterior appearance of the property including (but not limited to) fences, walls, driveways, street parking, landscaping, roofs, utility connections, garages, pools, set backs, ancillary structures, lighting, doors, windows and mailboxes.
All exterior changes (painting, landscaping, additions, etc.) must follow the Guidelines and may be made only after approval of a request to the Architectural Control Committee. (See committees for more information).
**Common Property means all of the Property, except the homeowner lots and those portions of the Property that are dedicated to the public, together with any improvements thereon and all personal property intended for the common use and enjoyment of the owners . This includes rights of way of any publicly dedicated roads, signs, fencing, landscaped entry features, any landscaping not located within a lot, parks, open areas, easements, conservation areas and nature preserves.
Common property includes all conservation areas as well as lakes, ponds, waterways etc. These are nature preserves, providing shelter and forage to our wildlife. They should never be used as dumpsites, even for landscape trash. Residents are urged to contact the Property Manager should they become aware of our neighborhood being abused. Action will be taken against offenders. All complaints are absolutely confidential.
Remember, this is our neighborhood and it is up to each of us to be responsible to protect and preserve it. The POA is here to help, but can only do as good a job as the members support.
