Living in Village Green

Here’s an overview of the rules and standards for living in Village Green. These apply to all homeowners and residents, as well as their families and guests. Please refer to the CC&Rs for complete details. Rules Documents are on the Forms, Docs & Rules page.

Pool and Spa

The pool and spa are open year round. Each household is provided with one pool key, and residents are asked to sign in and out when accessing the pool area. The pool is not heated, and the spa heater is on a timer that users need to activate when using the spa.

Reserving the Pool Area for Private Parties

Residents may use the pool area for private events, such as birthday parties or other celebrations. There is a limit of 20 guests, and use of the pool area is not exclusive. Other residents are allowed to use the pool in a manner that does not interfere with the private function. There is no charge for use of the facility, but a reservation at least two days in advance. The reservation form will be posted on Village Green’s resident portal (pending activation by new community management service as of July 11, 2022).

Trash Collection

Each household sets up and pays for its own garbage collection service through Recology Dixon. Trash collection day is Wednesday. Trash must be put in appropriate disposal containers, which must be stored out of sight of the Common Area and not visible from neighbor's homes. Toters may be placed out on Tuesday evenings beginning at 5 p.m. No trash may be allowed to accumulate outside of the exterior of any residence. (CC&R Article VII Section 9)

Household Pets

Residents may have up to two common household domestic pets per household. Pets in the Common Area must be leashed and under the supervision and restraint of their owners. (CC&R Article VII Section 6) Pet owners are responsible for the prompt removal and disposal of pet wastes. Pets may not be left tethered in front of a house or in the Common Area. Pet owners are responsible for the conduct of their pets.

Antennas, Satellite Dishes and Similar Devices

Satellite dishes do not require Board approval. This is in accordance with federal law, which overrides CC&Rs on this subject. No other exterior antennas, masts, towers or poles may be installed on any lot without written approval of the Board. (CC&R Article VII Section 12 )

Architectural Design Standards

The HOA Board sets the standards for exterior paint color, roof and gutter style, fence design and landscape design. Before any work is to be done on a home exterior, an Architectural Request Form must be submitted for approval to the Board. If the exterior of a home falls into disrepair, the Board may request that improvements be made and may impose a fine if the improvements are not made in a timely manner.

The “Annual Disclosure Regarding Architectural Review Procedures” dated May 2014 states:

“Article V Section 1 of the CC&Rs requires that an owner obtain approval before beginning construction or installation of any "Improvement". It defines an "Improvement" to include the exterior alteration or remodeling of any building, including the installation of skylights and solar panels, and any project involving walls, fences, landscaping, spas or any other exterior structure of any kind. Examples of items requiring approval would be repainting or reroofing the exterior of a home, the addition of a deck or patio cover, changing the doors, windows or lighting fixtures, and construction or addition of a storage shed. Landscaping changes within the fenced back yards are not subject to review and approval, although such changes in the fronts of homes are. It should be further noted that any modification of an approved plan of improvement must also obtain approval. If a homeowner has any question whether architectural review is required for a proposed project, that homeowner should check with the Association before proceeding.”

Sports Apparatus

The Village Green recreation area includes tennis, pickle ball and four-square courts as well as half court basketball. Basketball hoops or other fixed sports apparatus may not be attached to any residence or garage or erected on any lot or within the Common Area except at locations within rear yard areas that are not visible from any neighboring lot or the Common Area. (CC&R s Article VII Section 14)

Civil Conduct

No illegal, obnoxious or offensive activities may be carried out or conducted on any lot or Common Area, nor may any activity be done which is or could become an unreasonable annoyance, nuisance or hazard to neighboring property owners. This includes, but is not limited to excessive noise, barking dogs, operation of loud tools, machinery, equipment, audio devices, televisions or motor vehicles, or any other activity that would unreasonably disturb other owners' or tenants' enjoyment of their property or a Common Area. (CC&R Article VII, Section 6)

Signs

No advertising signs or billboards, including political and election posters, may be displayed on any lot or posted within the Common Area. Exceptions are a single "For Rent," "For Lease," or "For Sale" sign of reasonable dimension. (CC&R Article VII, Section 7)

Business Activities

No business or commercial activities of any kind may be conducted in any residence, garage or outbuilding without prior written approval of the Board. (CC&R Article VII Section 8 )

Storage

Storage of personal property must be entirely within homes, fenced yards, garages or the Association’s enclosed storage areas. (CC&R Article VII Section 10)

Clotheslines

Clothes may not be dried on exterior clothes lines in a manner that is visible from any neighboring lot or the Common Area (CC&R Article VII Section 11).

Children and Guests

Each resident owner or tenant is accountable for the conduct and behavior of their children, visitors, sublessees, houseguests guests and other invitees. The resident must accompany guests, including both adults and children, at all times when using the common area and amenities of Village Green.

Rule Enforcement

The Village Green rules and regulations are adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with the rule-making powers set forth in Article III Section 7 of the Association's CC&Rs.

In the event that an owner or tenant ignores or violates a Village Green rule or regulation, the Village Green Board will send a written notice and provide the owner or tenant with a reasonable opportunity to comply voluntarily. The notice will describe the non-compliant condition, request that the owner or tenant correct the condition within a timeframe specified in the notice, and advise them of their appeal rights.

Additional written notices may be sent. However, continued failure to comply could result in increasing disciplinary actions authorized by the CC&Rs and By-Laws, including fines ($50 for first violation, $100 for each subsequent uncorrected violation), suspension of the owner's or tenant's privileges to use common facilities, or suspension of the owner's voting rights as a member of the Village Green Homeowners Association.

In the event of a conflict between community rules and the CC&Rs, the CC&Rs will prevail.
