Rules and Regulations
  1. RESIDENCES, PATIOS AND BALCONIES.

    1. RESIDENCES (Units)

      1. All Residents must comply with the CC&R’s, Section 8.05 regarding inside and outside installations.

      2. It is vital for each resident to have the appropriate insurance policy. The HOA master policy does not cover individual units, and it is the resident’s responsibility to have a separate homeowner’s insurance policy. Residents that are Renters should also carry “renter’s insurance” to cover their possessions and emergency housing.

      3. Remodeling or anything that changes the exterior of the unit is controlled by the Architectural Committee. (Guidelines are updated and published every year). Residents are required to contact the Committee before undertaking any remodeling projects. See Architectural Guidelines (September 2024)

      4. All Residents are required to always keep their units and balconies/patios in a good state of cleanliness and repair.

        1. Sweeping or washing debris over the edge of balconies is not permitted unless you have permission from the units below.

        2. All exposed windows and sliding glass doors must have appropriate coverings and be in good shape.

        3. Sheets, blankets, newspaper, or foil are not allowed as window coverings.

        4. Tinted windows are allowed.

        5. Please keep plants, shoes, packages and excessive clutter to a minimum around the front door. This is a safety issue and trip hazard in emergencies.

      5. Each Homeowner should ensure their plumbing is in good working condition, including replacing original “Mixet” shower valves and replacing them with pressure balance shower valves.

      6. Fireplaces: The original fireplaces use artificial logs and gas; however, they are rated to burn wood. Use only dried wood and never use flammable liquids to start a fire. Dispose of cold ashes in a covered metal container. Never leave a fire unattended. When burning, keep the damper open, flammable materials away, and the glass door/screen closed.

      7. NO offices, bedrooms, exercise room or any other kind of living space may be built in the attic of the second floor of three-bedroom units without the permission of the Architectural Committee (see Architectural Guidelines).

    2. PATIOS AND BALCONIES
