Effective July 26th, 2022

Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.5 of the Pinetop Community Association Amended and Restated Bylaws 2013, the Board of Directors adopts the following Rules:

1.1 Firewise Maintenance/Fire Prevention

Firewise maintenance*, as indicated below, shall be performed on each lot at least one time per year for developed lots and undeveloped lots. Firewise maintenance shall require the following:

  1. Remove all dead or dying vegetation.
  2. Trim tree canopies regularly to keep their branches a minimum of ten (10) feet above any roof or other structure.
  3. Remove leaf litter, dry leaves, pine cones and needles from yards, roofs and rain gutters.
  4. Relocate woodpiles or other combustible materials to thirty (30) feet from any structure in Units 3,4 and 5, and ten (10) feet in Units 1, 2 and 22.
  5. Remove combustible material and vegetation from around and under decks. Consider enclosing ground level deck with lattice and/or small meshscreening.
  6. Remove or prune vegetation near windows.
  7. Remove “ladder fuels” (low-level vegetation, dead trees/leaning trees, closely spaced and small diameter trees, and fallen branches that allow the fire to spread from the ground to the tree canopy).
  8. Remove and destroy all infested, diseased and dead trees.
  9. Provide adequate hydration.
  10. Develop and maintain a “defensible space” relative to structures and the adjacent forest area. This is a cooperative effort on the part of adjacent property owners and thereby extends throughout our Association and the community. “Defensible space” is the required space between a structure and the wild land area that, under normal conditions, creates a sufficient buffer to slow or halt the spread of wildfire to a structure. It protects the home from igniting due to direct flame or radiant heat. Defensible space is essential for structure survivability during wildfire conditions. The defensible space extends beyond property lines.

*If an owner fails to perform Firewise maintenance after receiving written notice by the Association to do so, the Association may perform such maintenance at the owner's expense.

1.2 Single-family Dwellings

All lots are restricted to a single-family dwelling for residential use only.

1.2A Quiet Hour Rule

Pursuant to the CC&R’s, which prohibit any use of property that unreasonably disturbs other residents, quiet hours have been established between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am. During quiet hours, owners must ensure that no noise creates a disturbance to other residents including, but not limited to: large gatherings, music, construction activities, and barking dogs. If there is more than one complaint against a lot for a violation of quiet hours, the Association will give the breaching owner written notice of the violations and a date for a hearing before the Board of Directors. At the hearing, the Board may impose a fine against the owner of $250.00. Owners should inform their tenants of this rule, as owners are responsible for any violations of quiet hours by their tenants.

1.3 Approval of Construction/Improvement Plans

All new buildings, other structures, and improvements to the exterior of a lot, and any changes thereto (including, but not limited to, fencing, walls, and plantings exceeding 4 ft in height) require an Association Building Permit. It is the owner’s responsibility to submit plans to PCA for approval before any site work begins or installation/changes are made. Property improvements which are totally interior to the structure and do not change any exterior elevation view or the footprint of the structure on the property do not require Association approval or review.

A permit request form is available through each Unit Director, the Association Clerk or the Association's website under the “Our Association” menu selection. Owners are reminded that we are a mountain community and therefore, the Association intends to discourage, and has the right to prohibit, the construction of any residence or other structure not compatible with the natural forest setting or the view from adjacent parcels.

The Association permits must be prominently displayed on the lot within view of the street during the construction period. Construction and/or improvement related debris must be appropriately contained in a waste container/trailer or removed daily and not allowed to accumulate on the job site property or any adjacent lots.

1.4 Home Business Use

Each lot shall be used for residential purposes only; provided, however, that a resident may perform a home occupation or workshop (“Activity”) if it complies with all the following:

  1. The existence or operation of the Activity is not apparent by sound, sight or smell from outside of the lot;
  2. The Activity conforms to all zoning requirements for the lot;
  3. The Activity does not involve frequent or annoying traffic by persons coming on the property who do not reside therein or door-to-door solicitation of residents in the subdivision;

Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.5 of the Pinetop Community Association Amended and Restated Bylaws 2013, the Board of Directors adopts the following Enforcement Policy.

This Policy is intended to serve as a guideline for the Association with respect to general enforcement matters. Nothing contained in this Policy shall be interpreted as prohibiting the Association from employing procedures other than those outlined herein or referring an enforcement matter to legal counsel. The Board, in its sole discretion, may at any time determine that the nature of the violation warrants such action. Owners shall be responsible for the attorney's fees and costs incurred by the Association with respect to enforcement matters pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.7 of the Amended and Restated 2013 Bylaws.

2.1 Reminder Notice

If a Unit Director, Board member or other Association representative observes a CC&R or Rules violation on an owner's lot, the Association shall provide the breaching owner with a written Reminder Notice informing the owner of the violation(s) of the CC&R's and/or Rules and requesting that the violation(s) be corrected by a date that is no less than ten (10) business days from the date of the Reminder Notice.

2.2 Notice of Violation

If the breaching owner fails to correct the violation(s) by the date set forth in the Reminder Notice, the Association shall provide such owner with a written Notice of Violation which shall set forth the violation(s), inform him or her that fines may be imposed for the violation(s) and that his or her right to vote may be suspended, and providing notice of the breaching owner's right to be heard by the Board before any fine is imposed or voting rights suspended. If no hearing date is included in the Notice of Violation, the owner shall be responsible for notifying the Association in writing if he or she requests a hearing and if no written request is made, his or her right to a hearing prior to the imposition of fines and/or suspension of voting rights shall be deemed waived.

2.3 Notice of Hearing

If no hearing date has been set in the Notice of Violation and the breaching owner makes a written request for a hearing, the Association shall send the breaching owner a Notice of Hearing which shall include the date, time and place of the hearing which shall be no less than fifteen (15) days from the date of the Notice of Hearing.

  4. whether the owner is making good faith efforts to abate the violation(s); and
  5. any other consideration deemed relevant by the Board.

Fines shall be imposed per the Fine Schedule (included herein) and may be imposed on a recurring basis for continuing violations; provided, however, that the Board reserves the right to waive the imposition of any fine if it determines that the owner is making good faith attempts to correct the violation(s).

2.6 Notice of Fine and /or Suspension of Voting Rights

If the Board imposes a fine against and/or suspends the voting rights of a breaching owner, the Association shall provide such owner with written notice of same and the date by which any fine imposed shall be paid.

BoD Collection Policy and Bylaws Changes

At the December 7th BoD meeting, directors voted to adopt a more aggressive “Late Dues” and unpaid invoice collection policy. Starting in 2018 Annual Assessments will be considered late if not paid before March 1st (was April 1st) and delinquent if not paid before April 1st. A major change is to refer unpaid delinquent accounts to our legal counsel for collection which will add a minimum of $125 to the late dues total of $80 if not paid before April 1st. The full policy appears in the Rules and Regulations section on the website under “5 Collection Policy 2017”.
