WHEREAS, the Declarations contain the following provision in Section 4.5 Concealment: “4.501 All of the following, if kept on any lot, must be concealed, or screened, or otherwise rendered unobtrusive and inoffensive when viewed from neighboring lots or streets.”
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Declarations, the Association’s Board of Directors wishes to adopt a policy establishing objective standards or methods of concealment to guide the Association’s decisions whether certain categories of items subject to Section 4.5 of the Declarations comply with the requirements of said Section.
Categories of items subject to this policy. According to Section 4.5 of the Declarations, the following categories of items must be concealed, or screened, or otherwise rendered unobtrusive and inoffensive when viewed from neighboring lots or streets:
A. Tanks for the storage of gas, fuel oil, gasoline or oil;
B. Clothes lines, garbage cans, service yards, equipment, wood piles and storage piles;
C. Commercial vehicles, unless used for daily transportation and ¾ ton or less;
D. Construction or similar equipment;
E. Mobile or stationary trailers, boats, campers and motor homes;
F. Utility items, such as evaporative or refrigerative coolers; swimming pool filters, pumps, and heaters; gas, electric and water meters.
Concealment Policy: The homeowner must make a conscientious effort to render the item unobtrusive or inoffensive when viewed from neighboring lots or streets by a reasonable, uninvested person.
Approved Methods.
A. For each of the categories of items above, Placement on the lot must be no closer than 30’ from any front lot line.
B. Given the distinctive nature of our properties, and in addition to the above requirement (section A), the following considerations will serve as guidelines for approval:
i Placement on a lot behind a wall or a fence, in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Declarations.
ii Placement on a side lot, or in a rear yard
iii Placement that maximizes the distance from neighboring lots
iv Placement behind the front fascia of your residence
v Utilizing color schemes to blend in with the environment (paint, or covering)
It is not mandatory for homeowners to meet all of these criteria, and it cannot be guaranteed that selecting only one of these considerations will automatically meet the standard. Rather, this list serves as a framework to demonstrate that the homeowner has undertaken one or more of these Approved Methods to address concealment concerns, making a conscientious effort to render their item inconspicuous and inoffensive to a reasonable uninvolved party.
