Being a good neighbor…
Living in a subdivision has many positive benefits. As always, when dealing with people, confrontations and issues can arise. Two main points of being a good neighbor are to know your neighbors and to be considerate.

The first step in fostering good relationships with your neighbors is getting to know them. Make an effort to introduce yourself to your neighbors. It will be much easier to solve any problems that may arise later if you and your neighbors are acquainted and feel comfortable approaching each other.

Your opinions and ideas and that of your neighbors may differ considerably. The make up of a subdivision will vary. Look around at your neighborhood and try to adapt to the customs and traditions of its residents. Practice being a good neighbor. Being patient, courteous and helpful even when others are not, creates a happy atmosphere and a peaceful life

Thanks to all of you who work so diligently in being good neighbors and in keeping our neighborhood such special place to live.

About the Homeowners Association (HOA)
The purpose of the Homeowners Association (HOA) is for enhancing and protecting the value, attractiveness, and desirability of the subdivision. It is then the responsibility of the HOA to enforce the Covenants and Restrictions, which are designed to ensure that the neighborhood is kept in an attractive and safe manner for you and your neighbors. The HOA also maintains all easement areas and green spaces within the subdivision. This includes mowing, planting flowers, trees, shrubs, and maintenance to parks.

In addition, the HOA approves all house plans, landscape plans, fences and outbuildings. Yearly assessments (homeowner fees) are billed and collected by the HOA. The HOA keeps a running budget of money spent that is available to every home owner and is distributed annually.

It is the overall goal of the HOA to create and foster excellence in community, environment and quality of life. We desire to show good stewardship of our assets and provide a safe and secure living environment for each neighborhood.

Outbuilding and Detached Structure Subdivision Policy & Checklist
Please find attached a copy of the Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions for Stoney Crest and refer specifically to Sections 4.1.14 and 4.1.20 addressing Garden Structures and Sheds.

1. No garden structure (arbors, gazebos, pergolas, stombrellas) or outbuilding shall be permitted unless the design, height, materials, location, and other features of the structures are reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee prior to construction.

2. The outbuilding must be no larger than one hundred and twenty (120) square feet of floor area.

3. The outbuilding shall be constructed of wood or vinyl material and painted to match the existing primary structure. The roofing material must also be consistent in material and color to match the existing primary structure.
