Community Appearance & Nuisances

To maintain the quality and appearance of the community:

• Operating a business from a residence/lot is not permitted - it violates HOA covenants.

• Broken or fogged windows should not be visible from the street. Replace damaged blinds or unsightly window coverings visible from the street to avoid community nuisance.

• Broken or severely cracked driveways should be repaired promptly to uphold community standards.

• Remove dead plants, trees, and excessive yard décor - violations are nuisance or standards.

• Repair or replace broken exterior light fixtures to uphold community standards and values.

• Window A/C units should not be visible from the street - this is nuisance and affects home values.

• Central A/C units visible from the street should be screened or appropriately covered.

• Exterior painting requires written approval from the ACC*.

• Seasonal decorations, including holiday lights, should be removed within two weeks after the holiday - this creates community nuisance.
