RULES (general) |
Kelly Park Homeowners Association RULES AND REGULATIONS One of the primary purposes of a homeowners association it to protect both the quality of the living environment and the value of homes in the association by maintaining architectural standards and setting several rules of conduct. General standards are specified in the official Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. The following paragraphs outline specific applications of those standards. While the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions may not change without approval of 75 percent of the owners, many of the specific rules and regulations may be modified from time to time by vote of the board of directors, or by changes in city, state, or federal law. The exterior of each individual dwelling and the front yard is under the jurisdiction of the KELLY PARK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. Therefore: Each homeowner is responsible to maintain the front landscaping so as to achieve an over-all, well-manicured look at Kelly Park. This will include: Mow, edge, water, weed, fertilize and apply insect spray as required to maintain a thick, healthy green lawn. Before making any change to the exterior of any residence, or to any part of the yard that is visible from the street, the owner must file an application with the Homeowner's association.
