SUNLAND OWNERS
ASSOCIATION
RULES AND REGULATIONS
SECTION I
Purpose
These SunLand Rules and Regulations (R&Rs)
have been carefully developed from the SLOA Bylaws, Board of Director
policies, and experience of many years; and are an extension of the
Covenants. This revision supersedes any previous R&Rs.
The R&Rs represent the minimums essential
to the good order and quiet enjoyment we all sought in choosing to live in
SunLand.
The Covenants give the Board of Directors
the authority to enforce and grant exceptions to these R&Rs and to
establish appropriate procedures for adjudication and the fixing of
penalties should they ever become necessary.
SECTION II
The Rules and
Regulations
1. Parking -
Boats, trailers, campers, vans equipped for overnight use, RV motor homes,
vans or pick-ups with boats on top, other RVs and any commercial vehicle
shall be housed in the owner’s garage or in the SunLand RV park. These
types of vehicles may not be parked outside of any SunLand residence
except to load, unload or service, for a maximum of 72 hours. Overnight
parking, except as noted, is limited to garages, driveways and specially
prepared gravel or paved areas in front of a residence adjacent to the
street. All such parking areas must be approved by the SLOA Architectural
Committee. All vehicles parked on these approved areas must be completely
off the paved street. Regardless of the space available, the number of
approved vehicles that may be parked overnight in front of any SunLand
residence is four (4). No overnight parking on streets is permitted nor is
overnight parking of any vehicle in paved, public parking areas except by
permit obtainable through the Board of Directors. No vehicle storage
(covered vehicle) is allowed in driveways or prepared parking areas.
Semi-truck tractors and trailers must be parked outside of the SunLand
development. (Rev 3/21/06)
1. A) Use of the R.V. Storage Facility. (Rev 8/19/08)
a.
Only property owners are eligible to rent
space in the R.V. Storage area. After January 1, 2009 home renters with a
valid rental agreement as of December 31, 2008 will be allowed to stay
until their contract is no longer valid when moving from SunLand. From
that date forward, only home owners will be permitted rental access to the
R.V. Storage area.
b.
Under no circumstances will sub-letting of
R.V. space by owners to non-residents or renters be permitted. A fine of
$500.00 will be enforced for each occurrence.
c.
Parking will be limited to assigned space
within the boundary lines of the space itself. Infringing on the space to
either side of your assigned space will result in a $25.00 per day fine
from the date of official notification.
d.
Any damage done to the common area of the
storage facility (i.e. wash rack, fencing, electrical outlets, etc.) will
be the financial responsibility of the responsible party. Any unresolved
damage expenses could result in a blanket increase in fees.
e.
KEYS-Each owner receiving a key upon
renting a space will be required to pay a $25.00 deposit. Upon giving up
the space when no longer needed, the deposit and any unused rent will be
refunded upon returning the key to the SLOA office. For keys not returned
within 30 days of giving up the space the renter will be assessed an
additional $75.00 penalty and the refund will be forfeited.
f.
Each owner will be responsible for
notifying the office of vehicle description and license number for the
vehicle in the assigned space. If you purchase a different vehicle or have

will be dealt with on an individual basis and could involve financial
penalty.

outside burning, barbecuing excepted.
3. Pets/Animals - Dogs must be

All Lots - Vegetation growing/hanging over
the adjacent property line must be removed. Exceptions: limbs or branches
of trees may extend over the adjacent property line except where the owner
of said property objects. Any trees which are deemed by SLOA to create a
hazard to an adjacent residence must be removed by the owner.
11. Chimney and Air Pollution -
Members will conform to published standards in use of fireplaces,
wood-burning stoves, and barbecues.
12. Greenbelts - Greenbelts
are among the common areas maintained for use, benefit, and enjoyment of
SLOA members and their guests. Uses other than recreation and enjoyment
are not permitted.

cedar, hemlock or fir trees. The Architectural Committee will not approve
the removal, topping or windowing of healthy trees unless there are
special circumstances. Approval from the Architectural Committee is

on properties that border the golf course that allows golfers to retrieve
balls. (Rev 7/15/08)
21. Signs: The
purpose of having rules about signs is to maintain the residential beauty
of our SunLand neighborhoods. Permitted signs must be no larger than 18”X
24.” Signs must be on the owner’s property and placed so they do not
restrict visibility of traffic, and no more than one sign per subject.
(Rev 5/19/09)
The CC&Rs permit the
following:
- Real Estate. One
professionally made real estate sign may be displayed per property.
- Contractor sign.
One sign may be displayed during the process of construction or
landscaping and will be removed immediately upon completion of work.
- Home Security.
Home Security signs are allowed providing they meet number and size
criteria.
- Political Signs.
Political signs may be displayed on owner’s property no earlier than 30
days prior to an election and be removed no later than the day after the
election. A maximum of two political signs may be displayed at any one
time but only one per subject.
A homeowner may request an exception to
the signs criteria by making such a request in writing to the SLOA Board
for their consideration. A request for a permit or a temporary sign may be
made in the same manner.
22. Members in good
standing may request copies of the books, records, and papers of SLOA.
These requests may be made in writing or in person at the Business Office.
Such requests will be processed in a timely manner, not to exceed five (5)
workdays. There will be a charge of $.25 per page for each page provided.
Those requesting copies of the SLOA mailing list will need to sign a
statement that the list will not be used for any commercial purposes and
that it will not be sold or transferred to any other party. In no case
will email addresses, phone numbers, or renter information be disclosed.
SECTION III (SLOA
COVENANTS)
