Spring finally arrived and so have the weeds.  We request that everyone take a good look around and remove any weeds that have grown on their property.  It is a requirement of the CC&Rs that properties be maintained free of weeds. The Board is aware of several problems with weeds detracting from the appearance of the neighborhood and, therefore, request that anyone who has a weed problem take whatever action is necessary to correct this problem. 

 

The CC&Rs provide that:

 

4.2.2. Each Owner is responsible for landscaping and maintaining the appearance of his/her Lot. This maintenance responsibility includes (but is not limited to) trees, shrubs, grass, driveways, and walks. Owners shall be responsible throughout the calendar year for the control of weeds on their Lots, including fountain grass and desert broom, to prevent an unsightly appearance and the dissemination by wind or water of weed seeds to other parts of the Association or neighboring subdivisions. No shrubs, trees or obstructions of any kind shall be placed in such places as to cause a traffic hazard.

 

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our subdivision one of the best around.

 

 

The HOA Board would like to remind it’s residents that according to our CCR’s all homeowners are responsible for making sure that their outside light pole / futures must remain in proper working order to maintain safety for our neighborhood.  There are currently several lights that are not in working order.  Please take a few minutes this evening to check yours and replace any burned out bulbs or make any repairs needed to insure that all of our residents can feel safe in our neighborhood.

 

COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS FOR GREEN VALLEY DESERT HILLS NO. 3 section reads as follows:

 

4.2.4. Additionally, Owners are required to maintain the outside lighting fixture situated nearest the Street and mailboxes.

 

A. Lights must be operational throughout the year, equipped with an auto (photocell) on/off design and monitored for burned out bulbs. This means that all Owners, including part-time resident Owners and absentee Owners must provide for electric power flow to remain uninterrupted to the Dwelling Unit or other intermediate point so the outside lighting fixture will always be operating during hours of darkness. Furthermore, all Owners must make arrangements for defective bulbs and faulty on-off sensors to be replaced as necessary whether or not the Owner is occupying the Dwelling Unit.

 

B. Those with mailboxes and lamp posts are required 1 to maintain them and repair and replace as needed.

 

C. If an Owner fails to replace burned out or defective components of their outside street lighting fixture, he/she hereby grants an easement for access and repair of such fixture by the Architectural Committee. Any costs incurred shall be reimbursed by the Owner. An invoice for the cost of such maintenance and repair shall be sent to the Owner, and if not paid within 30 days from the date of the invoice, the amount due shall be collectible as part of the Assessment to which the Lot is subject, meaning that the Association may file a lien against the Lot for the amount of said expense in the same manner as the Association may file liens against Lots for the failure of the Owner to pay Assessments and take personal action against the Owner for collection of the amount due.
