Community News -- June 2009

Summer is here! As many are out enjoying the beautiful weather, please be sure to watch for kids and pets as you drive through the community. If you see any landscaping concerns or issues, please contact your Community Manager.

Window air-conditioners are not allowed. Window air-conditioning units and window fans are not allowed according to the CC&Rs, Section 6.24.

Keep trash cans and recycle bins out of view. Please remember that trash and recycle containers should only be placed out on the regularly scheduled trash pick-up day.

Adhere to “No Parking” signs. Parking is not permitted where signs are posted, and parking in excess of 24 hours of boats, trailers, motorcycles, mobile homes, campers or other RV equipment, is not allowed on any part of the Property or on public streets within the community.

Parking and garages. Remember that garages are to be used for vehicle parking, and only secondarily for storage. As more homeowners move into the community, it is essential that everyone respect their neighbors, and park only in approved areas. Garage doors must be open only for entering or exiting. For homes with rear-entrance garages, remember: there is no parking allowed in the alleyways.

Dogs and More! If you walk your dog in the community, please remember to pick up afterward. Please be respectful of your neighbors and don’t leave dog waste on any lot or in the common areas. Not only is it a health hazard, but animal waste ruins the landscaping.

Thinking of making some exterior improvements? Remember, any changes or additions to the exterior of your property must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC form may be found on the Northwest Community Management website. When you apply to the ARC for any changes (before starting any structural or landscape improvement), be sure to include the plans and specifications showing (if applicable) the nature, shape, heights, materials, colors, and proposed location of the improvement. Remember that you must have your project approved in writing by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before beginning work. Note that an ARC application must also be submitted if you want to install a satellite dish.
