Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
- When must I submit an application? Before any work begins (landscaping, painting, fences, hardscape). Starting without approval is a violation and may result in fines or forced removal.
- Do I need approval to repaint the same color? Yes. You must verify the color is still on the approved list and compatible with the neighborhood, as paint fades and standards change. The Exception: Applications are not required for routine 'touch-up' maintenance (e.g., repairing scuffs on shutters, trim, or doors), provided the exact original color is used.
- What if my application is denied? You may appeal to the Board of Directors within 30 days of the denial notice. Common reasons for denial include incomplete applications, aesthetic mismatch, or unauthorized materials.
- Why was my neighbor approved but I wasn't? Applications are reviewed case-by-case based on specific lot conditions and current rules. Existing improvements elsewhere do not grant automatic approval.Specific Rules & Restrictions
- What DOESN'T need approval? Interior alterations (unless ADU/JADU), general maintenance like tree trimming, stucco patches, or touching up trim with the exact same color.
- Can I replace my front lawn with rocks? Yes, but hardscape (rocks/concrete) generally cannot exceed 30% of the front yard area. No colored rock patterns (animals/flowers).
- Can I install white vinyl fencing? No. Fencing must be earth tone and meet wood fencing criteria.
- Can I hide my RV/Boat behind a fence? No. RVs and boats must be stored in a fully enclosed garage with the door closed.
- Basketball Hoops: Must be stored next to the home behind the rear yard gate when not in use. Never leave them on the street or sidewalk
