PLANTING ON ASSOCIATION PROPERTY – HOA rules were reviewed and reiterated regarding restriction on planting beyond 15 feet from the property wall in front and back of villas, which is within HOA property lines. Further action will be decided by the January Board Meeting to determine how prior resident tree plantings will be handled in Garden Patio Villas common grounds.
COMMON ELEMENTS – Landscape maintenance & occasional trimming of trees and shrubs was discussed.
Members who wish to prevent trimming of certain plants within the 15 feet of their property line can “tag” or place a flag or “do not touch” sign on landscape maintenance days.
Adherence to submitting the Common Elements Approval form was reinforced. Members may then consult the Board on colors for driveway paint, exterior paint or roofing materials. The form is located on our website at Common Elements Form.
