*Remember to trim the hanging branches of the maple trees along your sidewalks. The suggested height is 7 foot to allow easy passage along the walk ways. A number of homeowners have not properly maintained these trees to this specification. Trees that continue to encumber sidewalk use or are not properly maintained by the homeowner will be professionally trimmed and billed to the homeowner.
*As a courtesy to those walking, please don’t park you vehicle across the sidewalks.
*No homeowner is to be in the pool area prior to opening time of 11am, unless your child is receiving swim lessons.
*As a courtesy to your neighbors, please be sure to monitor your pets as well as monitor dog barking that can be disruptive to your neighbors. Also, please remember to clean up after your dog when walking through the neighborhood.
* When vendors provide services to homeowners and ask to place an advertisement sign in your yard, our policy states the sign can be displayed for a period of two weeks. At the conclusion of that time period the sign must be removed.
*Please remember to slow down while driving through the neighborhood and make a complete stop at all the signs. This is also the time of year we want to watch out for any suspicious activity throughout the neighborhood. Please call the police immediately if you see anything suspicious and also report any incidents to The Barn so we can notify other homeowners.
*Please notify the barn office if leaving your car in the parking lot. Also, the City has rules regarding overnight street parking. We understand several homeowners have been warned or ticketed. Please make sure you and your guest’s cars are in driveways if parking overnight.
* Realtors are to post their signs at the entrances on the Thursday before a Sunday open house. Signs that are placed at the entrances before Thursday will be removed. Realtor signs can be posted on street corners during this time frame as well. Realtor signs that are posted on street corners before Thursday will also be removed. If you are currently trying to sell your home or may plan to do so in the future, please let your realtor know of these policy changes. Signs that are not in compliance and are removed will be placed in the barn office for a period of 2 weeks. Those left unclaimed will be disposed of. You can also post your listing on the Monticello website at
www.monticello-hoa.com.
* Per our Restrictions, all trash, garbage and/or other waste must be kept in a covered and sanitary container such as a trash can, garbage can and/or waste/refuse container. Each container must be kept inside the garage of a residence; provided, however, that the container may be deposited at the public street for collection in advance thereof. We have received a number of homeowner complaints that there are regular violations to this rule. Be advised that the HOA will begin charging fines for violations.
