CC&R Defined

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R) define areas such as property rights, association organization, maintenance, management agreements, assessments and enforcement. The purpose of CC&R is to preserve so far as possible the natural beauty of property, to avoid harsh contrast between structures and landscape, to guard against the erection of designed or proportioned structures and use of unsuitable materials, to encourage and secure the attractive improvements which are harmonious with their sites, and to enhance the environmental quality and economic value of the property.

The CC&R committee is composed of volunteers from the neighborhood who assist the JSHOA manager and Board of Directors in administering CC&R relating to home and property condition and appearance in keeping with the neighborhood and up to prevailing JSHOA standards. The JSHOA Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility and authority to define and enforce CC&R.

The Jackson School Homeowners’ Association is required under the Association’s CC&Rs to enforce the covenants, conditions and rules that pertain to property located within the Association. Consistency requires that all homeowners (“owner”) comply with these standards. The following set of rules shall be applied in the event a violation of the CC&Rs occurs:

Upon recognition of a possible violation of the CC&Rs the Association Manager will give written notice of the violation.

If, within fourteen days of the initial notice, the owner does not correct the violation or does not submit to the Association Manager a plan for correction acceptable to the Association Manager, a second written notice will be sent reminding the owner of the violation. With this notice will be a notification that the matter has been referred for Board action and that the owner has the opportunity to be heard and contest either the violation or the fine, at the next scheduled Board meeting. The notice of opportunity to be heard, will set forth the date of the next Board meeting.

Once a Second Notice has been sent, the possible violation shall be placed upon the Board agenda, for the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. At that time, the Board shall consider the matter. If the possible violation has been resolved, the Board shall review and either adopt or modify the Association Manger’s determination in that regard. If the matter has not been resolved, the Board shall consider the possible violation and impose a fine, consistent with the most current fining schedule adopted by the Board, for the violation. Continuing violations shall result in continuing, daily fines. If the owner is present, the owner shall have the right to be represented by legal counsel and to have a reasonable amount of time to produce any statement, evidence and witness on his or her behalf. The Board shall then determine the matter and impose a reasonable fine.

The owner will be notified that the fine will be imposed beginning the second Monday following that Board meeting. Once the daily fine is imposed, the fine shall not be suspended for the reason the owner has later submitted a plan for correction. Imposition of the fine will be terminated once the owner corrects the violation and notifies the Association Manager. The fine imposed shall be added to the owner’s account with the Association, which account shall reflect the fines and related costs imposed, payments received and the account balance. All fines imposed, no matter when imposed, shall be an assessment against the property. A minimum $10 fine per day can be imposed for violations. Fines may double for repeat offenses, not to exceed $40.00 per day.

All fines shall be collected in the same fashion as any other assessment imposed by the Association.
