Granada Villas Rules and Regulations ______________________ GRANADA VILLAS RULES AND REGULATIONS The following Rules and Regulations are summaries of restrictions found in the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Granada Villas "Declaration" and are intended to maintain the quality of our community. All property owners are to be aware of these rules and are responsible for notifying occupants of their property about these Rules and Regulations. The homeowner as well as the occupant will be held responsible for any violations incurred by an occupant or guest. All questions or clarifications should be addressed to the management company. 1. ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS: The Architectural Review Committee will hereafter be referred to as the ARC. No landscaping, building, fence, wall or other structure shall be commenced, erected, installed, removed or modified upon any lot or dwelling unit without prior ARC approval. A written application requesting approval shall be delivered to the ARC, according to requirements of Article VII of the Declaration, together with all pertinent plans, specifications, drawings and other data. Approval/Disapproval by the ARC will be judged as to harmony of design and location based upon the original Granada Villas designs. The results will be returned to the homeowner in written form. Any rejections may be forwarded to the Board of Directors, Granada Villas Homeowners Association, hereinafter referred to GVHOA, for review and final determination. 2. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE OF HOMES: All homeowners must maintain the exterior appearance of their dwellings and walls to conform to the harmony and appearance originally designed and built as Granada Villas. Article VIII, Section 18, of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions titled Exterior Maintenance, provides that maintenance of dwelling units or lots is the responsibility of the homeowner. Any dwelling units or lots damaged or unsightly as a result of a homeowner's failure to maintain the property as determined by the Board of Directors must be repaired within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Board of Directors. The Declaration provides that if, after 30 days notice to repair, the repair has not been completed, the Association shall have the right to make reasonable repairs and are entitled to levy a special assessment and lien against the responsible homeowner(s) for the costs incurred. Paint must be maintained and kept to the original colors. Painting must have prior approval of the ARC. The colors are: GRANADA BUFF with BUTTERNUT BROWN trim or NAVAJO WHITE with CHOCOLATE BROWN trim. Color Wheel maintains the color specifications for The Granada Villas. All outside air conditioning equipment must be maintained in an enclosure replicating the original enclosure provided by the builder, keeping within the harmony and design of Granada Villas. The enclosure shall be maintained and painted to the trim color assigned to each dwelling. Owners of homes located along the perimeter walls are responsible for painting the interior surface of the perimeter walls. ARC approval is required before painting or replacement. The owner(s) of a residence(s) adjoining a party wall (defined as common between homeowners) and/or a common driveway must maintain all party walls and common driveways. Either adjoining owner shall have an equal right to use of a party wall and a common driveway for access to each lot or dwelling served thereby. This right is subject, however, to payment by the owner seeking to tie into the party wall of any costs involved in tying into the party wall and payment of any damage(s) occasioned therefrom. If a party wall or common driveway should be damaged by an owner, resident, tenant, or guest of the owner, whether negligent, intentional, unintentional, or otherwise, the owner committing the damage is responsible for the repair of any damages to the property and to any adjoining property as well as for any injuries caused to any person(s) as a result of such damage, or to the GVHOA for any expenses incurred by the Association as a result of such damage, as applicable. 3. IRRIGATION: No owner shall modify, change or perform any activity, including maintenance, to the irrigation system provided by the Association. Any and all maintenance to the irrigation system shall be performed and directed by the Board of Directors and designated maintenance personnel. Any damage to the irrigation system, other than ordinary wear and tear, shall be the responsibility of the owner of that property and the Association has the right to impose a special assessment against that owner for such extraordinary costs. Repair costs incurred during the construction of ARC approved modifications to the lot or dwelling unit (walls, pools, patios, screen enclosures, additions, landscaping, etc.) shall be the sole responsibility of the owner. Should you have a problem with the irrigation system or need repair, please call the Irrigation Hotline. The telephone number for the Hotline is listed in the Granada Newsletter. Your call will be logged and a Work Order will be written. For emergencies call the number listed in the Newsletter. 4. GARAGE DOORS: Garage doors should remain closed to maintain your safety and the aesthetics of the community. Garage doors must conform to the original design and the ARC must approve replacement or repair. 5. MAILBOXES: Mailboxes must conform to U.S. Postal regulations and must have the approval of the ARC before replacement. Mailboxes must be kept in good repair, and must display the house number at the top of the mounting post and replicate the original design. 6. SIGNS: No commercial signs, including "For Sale", "For Rent" or other similar signs shall be erected, placed, or maintained on any lot EXCEPT with the written permission of the Board of Directors. If such permission is granted, the Board of Directors shall have the right to restrict size, color, and content of such signs. For safety, all dwelling units should display the assigned street number in a prominent location and are subject to ARC approval as detailed in Article VII and VIII of the Declaration. 7. LOT USE/VEHICLE PARKING: No lot or dwelling unit shall be used for any purpose except residential. No objects such as trailers, house trailers, sheds, mobile homes, campers, boats, boat trailers or other similar objects shall be stored or parked on any lot or right of way overnight or for a continuous period of time in excess of four (4) consecutive hours. This storage/parking restriction applies to all part(s) of the common area. All vehicles must be parked on driveways or in garages. See Article VIII, Sections 3 through 5, of the Declaration for details. Street parking is allowed for a maximum of 4 hours. Do not block driveways or right-of-ways. Parking is not permitted on non-paved areas. Parking on grass damages the turf and the irrigation system (i.e., sprinkler heads). Commercial vehicles, boats and trailers must be garaged if on the property more than 4 hours. Please inform your guests of the parking rules. It is advised that all residents have a Granada Villas sticker on their car. Parking stickers are required for use of the recreation area and are available from the management company and at town hall meetings. 8. LANDSCAPE AND LAWN SERVICE: Lawn service at Granada Villas consists of mowing, edging, blowing, fertilizing, weed/insect control, and irrigation. The Association will not maintain any enclosed area of your yard. Any problems or questions about services should be directed to the Management Company. Lawn ornaments are not allowed as they interfere with irrigation and lawn maintenance. Lawn care does not include weeding of planter boxes or landscaped areas. Homeowners are responsible for insuring that planter boxes and landscaped areas are kept clear of weeds and are not allowed to become overgrown. Do not plant in common areas. Any homeowner who has an enclosed yard that abuts the perimeter wall is responsible for maintaining the landscaping so that it does not encroach or extend over the perimeter wall to the GVHOA common area side. It is the homeowners' responsibility to keep hoses or other gardening tools off the lawn when not in use. Any planned landscaping changes, etc. must have prior approval of the ARC. 9.

Containers may be placed out after 6:00 p.m. on the day prior to the scheduled pickup but no later than 6:00 a.m. on the day of pickup Due to the wildlife in the area, it is advisable to use a tightly sealed trash container or garbage can for your garbage/trash and residents are responsible for promptly cleaning up all trash that is scattered during pickup.
