Summerfield Update for Architectural Standards and Assessment Collection Policy
Please see (Summerfield-HOA-Architectural-Standards_2019-07 redline) for a revision to the current architectural standards document. We ask you read it over and share any feedback with the board.
This is a ‘redline’ markup showing the additions and deletions. We will post an updated version after collecting comments for 30 days.
Summary of changes:
- Update to match current California Civil Code concerning enforcement of governing documents and dispute resolution.
- Renaming ‘Solar Units’ as ‘Solar Energy Systems’.
- Changes to comply with California Open Meetings requirements.
- Clarification that an officially declared drought overrides the requirement for watering lawns.
- Update from mentions of ‘CC&Rs’ to ‘governing documents’ to conform usage to current Civil Code 4150.
- Addition: Broken, ripped, and/or damaged window coverings need to be replaced.
- Clarification that the Board is responsible for decisions concerning violation notifications and fines.
- Clarification that owners are responsible for their guests, invitee, tenants and/or agents actions.
- Revision of enforcement procedures to invite an owner to a violation meeting prior to imposing any fines; to allow for suspension of voting rights or use of recreational facilities as a potential penalty; removal of violation appeals section (since the violation meetings with the Board will have already taken place).
Additionally, please see (SHOA Assessment Collection Policy 2019-07-15) for a revision to the Assessment Collection Policy. It has been extensively revised by counsel to match current California Civil Code requirements.
