Summer heat will soon be here and making changes to your watering times and schedules for the rest of the season or until things cool off not only helps with the appearance of your lawn and landscaping, but can save your investment. Covenants require homeowners to maintain watered lawns. If you see a geyser sprinkler head, brown spots, or other maintenance problems on HOA property, email Jerry Lowe with a description of the problem and the location.
Fix-up, Paint-up, Roof-up, Remodel and Landscaping: Exterior painting, re-roofing, landscaping, fencing, patio modifications, additions, or changes must be pre-approved by the AECC (Architectural and Environmental Control Committee) and done within established guidelines and controls. Before you start, contact the AECC Committee to ensure that you’re on the right path. You can contact Riverside Management, Craig Fenwick, Janelle Curtis, or Doyle Allen. Please copy all three members of the AECC Committee with your request or questions just in case one or more might be unavailable. That will help get your project started on time.
Need a copy of the AECC Guidelines? Contact Riverside Management at our dedicated line. There is a small charge. Once we are up and running with a website, HOA information will be available online.
I Paid My Dues, But I Got Another Notice! Sometimes checks, invoices, and notices cross in the mail. With as many sub-associations as we have in Plantation, single checks for multiple payments can complicate the process. With over 250 homeowners, sooner or later there will be a minor glitch. If you have questions, contact Riverside Management using the information above and let them know there is a problem. If you indicate on the check what the payment is for, it does help.
Are Homeowner Association Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) Really Enforceable? Yes! In the many cases that have come before it, the Idaho Supreme Court says “yes”. In Plantation’s case, the Master Declaration of the Plantation Master Association, Inc. was recorded in 1978. The deeds to the lots in the subdivision were recorded later, and are all subject to the provisions of the CC&Rs. The Master Declaration contains some regulations that apply to all homeowners in the subdivision. Additionally, pursuant to the authority given in the Declaration, the AECC has also issued regulations that are binding on all homeowners in the subdivision. The Idaho Supreme Court has upheld the authority of the Board of Directors and the Architectural Control Committee contained in the CC&Rs in the many cases that have come before it including regulations that control building and remodeling homes, fences and landscaping, restrictions on unattached buildings and the screening of trailers and recreational vehicles. The AECC Committee performs a valuable service for all of us by consulting and adhering to the regulations that make the Plantation Subdivision a great place to live. Presently, the AECC is discussing slight modifications to several regulations regarding restrictions pertaining to trailers and RV’s parked temporarily on streets to prevent abuses that inconvenience surrounding homeowners.
