HOME SITE MAINTENANCE POLICY

Revised April 20, 2005
Approved April 26, 2005

 

Maintenance of Undeveloped Home Sites:

As set forth in the Covenants of Cypress Landing, all undeveloped home sites will be mowed at least once per year at the end of the plant growth period during September through November. This mowing will be arranged by the Community Association Manager (CAM) and the owners of the undeveloped home sites will be billed the cost of such mowing. A waiver of this requirement may be granted by the CAM if the home site in question is to be cleared for development by no later than April 1 of the following year.

Additionally, on some undeveloped home sites trees downed by storms and disease create unsightly conditions and diseased and damaged tree impose dangerous conditions. Owners of such home sites are required to remove/ have removed all downed trees or trees that impose a safety hazard prior to September of each year to permit the safe and efficient mowing of the home sites.

Annually, by no later than June 1 of each year, the CAM, with the assistance of the Building and Grounds Committee, will identify the undeveloped home sites with downed trees and will provide notice to home site owner that the downed trees must be removed by September 1. As part of the notice the CAM will identify local contractors who may be used by the home site owner to accomplish the tree removal. The CAM may grant a waiver of this requirement (except for the removal of trees that impose a safety hazard) if the home site in question is to be cleared for development by no later than April 1 of the following year.

If the tree removal is not accomplished by September 1 and a waiver has not been granted to the home site owner, the CLMHOA Board will take action to have the lot cleared and will bill the home site owner for the costs incurred.

Maintenance of Developed Home Sites with Natural Areas Facing the Street.

To ensure a uniform appearance throughout the community, the owners of developed home sites with natural areas facing the street shall have such natural areas mowed and cleared of any downed trees or trees that impose a safety hazard at least once per year in September or October. When the mowing of the natural areas is to be accomplished, the home site owner may identify specific young trees and shrubs to be retained. This maintenance will produce an end result similar to the final appearance of undeveloped home sites following the annual mowing.

Annually, by no later than August 1, the CAM, with the assistance of the Building and Grounds Committee, will identify the developed home sites that require maintenance and will so inform the owner of the site.

The home site owner may accomplish this annual maintenance or may arrange to the maintenance contracted through the CAM. If the latter option is chosen, the CAM will bill the home site owner for the contracted cost.
