New Development Standard Enforcement. In December 2016, the Board approved a new Development Standard regarding the height of shrubs located near a driveway within close proximity to the sidewalk which could possibly block line of sight if someone is exiting a driveway.
No shrub or planting which significantly obstructs sight lines of persons exiting a driveway in an automobile, golf car or the like, shall be allowed. Such shrubs must be pruned to a height of 42" or less to allow a safe exit. Development Standard Section 2.17.c.vii.
In order to give residents ample time to inspect their front landscaping for this situation and trim the shrubs, no violation will be sent for three months on this matter. Beginning May 1, the 42" height rule will be enforced.
Please check your shrubs so that the line of sight is not obscured by the height of your bushes and take action to prune them.
Renter Policy Change - Effective immediately, all homeowners who rent their property are required to submit the paperwork for the renters three business days prior to their renter's arrival in SCOV. The three forms are on our website. There will be a $100 fine imposed beginning in March for noncompliance.
Hands-Free Ordinance: We've all heard about the new Oro Valley ordinance requiring 100% Hands Free for Driving. So what are the particulars of this new ordinance? Is it in effect now? How big are the fines? Does it apply if I'm stopped at a traffic light? How can we equip our cars for using our mobile phones with this new ordinance, both now and in the future, especially if we don't have or use Bluetooth? What is Bluetooth? Elijah Wood from the Oro Valley Police Department will answer these questions and more. Don't risk a citation or an accident; come and learn at this informative presentation. Monday, February 27, 1 PM in the Auditorium. Sponsored by the Government Affairs Committee.
Interesting tidbit: In 2015 over 68 million or 21.1% of Americans lived in a common-interest community like an HOA. In that same year, Arizona was estimated to have 9,400 HOA's with 1,891,000 residents. Ranked 10th in the nation for the number of associations. While final 2016 data is not yet available, Community Associations Institute (CAI) estimates the 2016 year ended with between 342,000 and 344,000 home owner associations nationally. Value of homes in Associations is estimated to be $5.28 trillion.
