With primary elections coming up soon the board wanted to address the placement of yard signs.
As a general rule yard signs are prohibited by the Covenants of the HOA. The only exceptions granted by the Covenants are for entry signs or lot/home sale signs. You can read the relevant portion in section 5-D by following this link.
With that said, the board is granted the ability to create exceptions to this rule. We have voted to allow election signs up to the primary. In the future we may limit the time span.
To be specific, the types of signs we will allow are those provided through official campaign channels that only state the candidates name and position they are running for. We will not permit signs advocating particular issues, attack other candidates, or anything else that could upset neighbors. We will also limit signs to one per candidate in each yard. Please place signs so that they do no obstruct passage on the sidewalk or reduce sight lines while driving. Signs must also be of the standard 18×24 size.
With any decision like this we do reserve the right to reverse it. If necessary we will address any signs that we deem to create a nuisance, especially those that are brought to our attention by neighbors.
We ask that all homeowners respect their fellow neighbors right to express their political views, do not remove or damage other’s signs. We will not make any decisions to remove signs based on the political viewpoints of a neighbor or our own.
We hope this decision pleases all and encourages everyone to get out and vote!
