City Fined HOA $3300...and Counting.

The City fined the HOA $3300 on April 16, for violations during occurring from April 1 to April 16.  The fines are due to the deteriorated landscape and the lack of response by the HOA to repeated communication from the City.  There is a one day violation costing $100.  There are two continuing violations costing $100 each for 16 days (2 x $100 x 16 days=$3200).  The continuing fines costing $100 may increase to $1000 per violation per day.  The City is also considering pursuing cost recovery for staff time spent on this matter.

The Notice of Violation (pdf) also instructs the HOA to only install plants that are approved, and to remove the prohibited Rosemary that was planted in various places in the community.  It also states that the HOA must Prevent erosion of all slopes and flat areas throughout the property by installing temporary erosion control BMPs.

In addition to the erosion control measures that are overdue, the HOA has not yet submitted their plan to rectify the violations.
