What is the purpose of the Home Owner’s Association?
The Home Owner’s Association is in place to ensure that value of property/homes in Spring Meadow stays high. This is done by adhering to both the By-Laws and the CC&R’s. These rules cover everything from the assessment procedures to what kinds of structures can be placed on your property. The Board of Directors is in place to interpret those documents to the best of their ability and enforce the rules when necessary.

What is the Architectural Control Committee (ACC)?
The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) has been established based on the requirements of the Bylaws and CC&Rs. As outlined in the CC&Rs, the ACC consists of 5 Association members that are appointed by the Board of Directors. The ACC’s role is to insure that the neighborhood is created and maintained in a manner in which structures, landscaping, and property are in harmony with one another and do not infringe on the rights of other property owners. The ACC performs this role by interpreting and enforcing the rules outlined in the CC&Rs.
There are many violations on my street, what are you doing to fix this?
The Board of Directors is not actively searching for violations in the neighborhood. The Board and the ACC has provided a process for members to report violations via a Complaint form. If you would like to report a violation, please use the form.
