At the November 2004 Board meeting, we voted to establish a separate Architectural Committee to review applications.  The committee members are shown below.  Your first contact should be with our management company for information.  The rules, guidelines and procedure on how to submit an application for either landscape or architectural change (new or remodel) is contained in Architectural Rules, Procedures & Guidelines.pdf

Architectural Committee Members (7/05):  

There is a lot of new construction going on, and we hope to update this news area periodically to show what's happening. 

First of all though, you all should be aware of the rules for contractors and subcontractors working in our neighborhood.  This information has just been updated and was distributed to homeowners in late December 2003 and will be effective in late January 2004.  It is published in our new Architectural and Landscape Rules, Guidelines and Procedures, which was approved by the Board of Directors on Dec 3, 2003.  

These rules are to be posted at the job site at all times and are to be given to all contractors, sub-contactors and workers on the job.  Failure to keep posted and to distribute these rules and to notify all personnel as indicated will result in a fine of $250.  Each failure to adhere to these rules will also result in a fine of $250. 

1.            Contractors, subcontractors, and any workers on the job site are not permitted to bring pets into the Association. 

2.            Hours of construction are limited to 8:00 a. m  – 6:00 p. m. on weekdays, 9:00 a. m.  – 5:00 p. m. on Saturdays.   No construction is permitted on Sunday and the following holidays:  New Years Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, 4^th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.   Construction is defined as workers being present on site whether working or not. 

3.            The use of alcohol and drugs is strictly prohibited.

4.            Loud construction operations, shouting and loud music audible at the edge of the lot or beyond is prohibited at all times. 

5.            No worker is permitted to spend the night at the site.

6.            All cars must be parked off private roads and on the construction lot or in indicated parking areas.  No equipment or materials may impede local traffic.

7.            The use of swearing or abusive language is strictly forbidden.

8.            All workers must display courtesy to all association members at all times.

9.            Property owners are required to keep the Property Manager informed of who the contractor is on their lots and who can be contacted on site, by phone, and by letter when construction problems arise.

10.       Property owner is required to keep posted at all times at the job site a phone number at which he/she can be reached about any problem at the work site. 

11.       The established speed limit within RHEN is 25 miles per hour.  Construction zones are 15 mph.

12.       There will be no washing of any equipment or materials on the streets.  Any concrete delivery truck washed out must be on the construction site and no wash out material may enter the storm drainage facilities.  Special wash out stations are required to contain the concrete washouts and prevent entrance into drainage facilities.  The ground shall be properly and effectively wetted to prevent dust.  Operations in inclement weather shall not introduce mud or debris onto Association lands or roads.

13.       Operators of vehicles are required to see that they do not spill any damaging materials while within the community.  If spillage of a load occurs, operators are responsible for clean up.  Operators must insure that no damage caused by vehicles is incurred to Association roads or Common Areas.

14.       All personnel working in the community are to keep areas in which they work free of discarded materials such as lunch bags, soda containers, and odd materials.  Objects must not be thrown out of cars and trucks.  Stockpiling of any materials on adjacent lots is not allowed, unless special permission is granted by both the Association and the lot owner.  Contractors are required to keep their job sites as neat and clean as possible.  Trash and discarded materials shall be removed daily.  All trash stockpiled for removal shall be located in the rear of the residence or as much out of sight as possible until removed.  There will be no stockpiling or dumping on adjacent lots or streets.  Trash or debris not promptly removed will be removed by the Association and billed to the responsible owner. 

15.       Attention is called to the fact that certain areas in the Association exist as natural open space and are to remain as such.  Therefore, the following restrictions apply to all construction operations performed in these existing natural environments:

a.           Flora and fauna are to remain untouched and unharmed.  

b.           No construction activities are to take place in these designated areas unless approved by the Association.

c.            All earth removed from excavations must be placed where designated on the grading plan and shall not be placed on Association lands or roads.

d.           The dumping of trash, lumber, concrete, mortar, changing of oil etc. in these areas is prohibited.   

e.           Storage of any construction materials on Association lands or roads is prohibited.

Violations of these rules should be reported to Community Care Property Management.
