Villa Owners' Quick Reference
G u i d e l i n e s a n d R e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s
• Driveway and Sidewalk: Residents are responsible for power
washing of driveway, walkways and sidewalks. Any resulting
debris from power washing must not be left in street gutters.
• Mailboxes: Residents are responsible for complete mailbox
maintenance. (cleaning, painting, repair, replace) You can buy
paint at Home Depot. Silverthorn colors on fi le.
• Landscape: We are allowed to replace bushes - plantings
without ARC approval as long as we do not change the original
footprint. A lot of our bushes & plantings are getting old &
woody and need replaced. Th is is of course at owner's expense.
If you would like to retain the services of Mike Rado's company
or any other landscape company you must contact them as an
individual. It is not part of the contract.
• Lawns: We are all responsible for our own lawns. If your lawn
has dead areas, you must replace with plugs or sod. If you have
a weed problem, please fi ll out a Maintenance Request Form at
the Community Center.
• Irrigation: If you have a sprinkler problem or you see a neighbor's
broken sprinkler, please fi ll out a form so Sunshine can come
out and fi x. Sunshine does provide monthly inspection.
• Lawn and Garden Ornamentation (ARC approval required
for all): One fountain per lot, 3 additional statues or objects
including pots are allowed. Th e combined height, added
together, of all such items must be less than 5ft .
• Trees: Responsibility of owner. Raking and bagging of leaves in
yard: please do not blow leaves or debris into street or down
storm drains. Pruning and thinning of plantings above 8ft . Th e
oak trees were put on our property as small trees. Th ey are now
getting larger and causing damage to driveways, sidewalks,
irrigation, etc. Th e community realizes this. If your tree is a
concern please fi ll out an ARC Form in the Community Center
to have the tree cut down at owner's expense. Th ere is also a list of
vendors available.
• Pets: All pets should be on a leash when outside and are not
allowed to be on other's private property. If you own a dog, the
preferred place where it should do its business is on your own
property. If nature calls while they are being exercised around the
neighborhood, please curb your pet and do not allow them to soil
lampposts, mailboxes, car tires or trash bins. Always pick-up aft er
them. Put waste bags in your own receptacle. Dog waste should
not be deposited in receptacles on the golf course or anywhere
else, including storm drains. Let's all be responsible pet owners.
• Garbage: We should use garbage cans with lids. Th e crows &
animals are tearing open bags and garbage being scattered. If you
need to use bags, please do not leave them out overnight.
• Parking: Th ere is no parking in street overnight and commercial
vehicles must be garaged. We should not block sidewalks at any
time. Citations will be issued.
• Absentee Owners: If you are going to be absent from your Villa
for an extended period, please fi ll out an Away Form at the
Community Center.
When we purchased our Villas, we were given a Resident Handbook
of rules & regulations. Th is quick reference handout is not intended
to replace the HOA Docs - please refer to them for details. Th ey are
in place for a reason, which is to help maintain the beauty and value
of our community. We all need to take pride in our community
and abide by the covenants. Any questions or concerns, please
contact your Villa Rep. We are doing this because we care about our
community. We are coming up with a list of vendors that we think
are reliable and reasonable.
