Let’s Have Fewer Violations

Published: March 21, 2018

The most frequent violations in the community are trash cans and lawn maintenance or weeds. The majority of Mustang Park homeowners show pride in ownership and follow the CC&R’s.

All landscaping must be maintained in a neat condition to include watering, mowing, edging, pruning, removal of and replacement of dead or dying plants, and the removal of weeds and trash. Weeds not only create an eyesore but left unattended, can spread to the yards of your surrounding neighbors.

Trash pickup is Tuesday. Trash can go out 24 hours before pickup and should be removed 12 hours after pickup. There should be no trash cans visible on Wednesday.

Last Wednesday, we had 13% of HOA members in violation of the CC&R for trash cans. It’s turning towards spring, so keeping up with landscaping is important. I did spot numerous weeds on various lawns. If everyone does their part, the community will save money by not having to send out violations.

The CC&R references below for trash cans 2.19 and landscape 2.28.

2.19 Garbage and Garbage Containers. No Lot shall be used or maintained as a dumping ground for rubbish, trash or garbage. All garbage shall be kept in City-approved containers. All rubbish, trash and garbage shall regularly be removed from the Lot and shall not be allowed to accumulate. Garbage containers may be placed at the curbside or other location designated by the City for pickup, not more than twenty- four (24) hours prior to the pickup time and garbage containers must be removed within twelve (12) hours after pickup. All garbage containers shall be kept in a location screened so as to be concealed from view of adjacent Lots, streets and common properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials incident to construction of improvements may be stored on Lots during construction by Declarant or any approved homebuilder in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, regulations or other requirements.

2.28 Exterior Maintenance; Weeds. Each Owner shall maintain the exterior appearance of the Residence and Structures on such Owner's Lot, shall keep all landscaping and sprinkler systems on such Owner's Lot in a neat, orderly and well-maintained condition and shall keep the sidewalk on such Owner's Lot in good condition and repair. If, at any time, and from time to time, an Owner shall fail to control weeds, grass or unsightly growth exceeding eight inches (8") in height, Declarant shall have the authority and right, and after Declarant no longer owns a Lot, the Association shall have the right, to go onto such Lot, or direct a third party service to go onto such Lot, for the purpose of mowing and cleaning such Lot, and shall have the authority and right to assess and collect from the Owner of such Lot the reasonable costs incurred in connection with such mowing or cleaning. Any such amounts assessed and chargeable against a Lot hereunder will be secured by the liens reserved in this Declaration for assessments and may be collected by any means provided in this Declaration for the collection of assessments, including, but not limited to, foreclosure of such liens against the Owner's Lot(s).
