CP1 President's Letter September 2023

In the past history of our CP 1, HOA we have been all over the map on what is common ground and what is not.

If we are to look at our plot maps we see each homeowner's lot goes to the street and touches the neighbors lot line on the side.

In saying that, if you then take the measurements of the lots and actuarial measurement, Like we have done to several properties, we find that the measurements end about at the end of carport roof overhang. Also if you look at where the water meter is for each house which is on the homeowners property it is about the same.

Now we have allowed and still will encourage our homeowners to maintain and keep their yard both front and back outside of the measurements for the good of our community.

But the property or common area, which is called lot 258 includes our streets and roughly 3 ft. on each side or more plus identified common areas.

That leaves areas such as middle landscape areas such as off Varonil, open space behind the north end of Lumbre, and Diablo, entrance guard shack island, all Postbox stations, entrance way and exits, Landscaping along LaCanada and the end of each dead end street marked with yellow posts.

What I am trying to point out and make as a policy is.

Our common areas and roads and that of the property on each side of our streets are considered lot 258, which we maintain plus other areas and they can not be altered.

Yet our home owners can add crushed rock, maintain and care for that property between their property lines to the front street and behind their rear courtyards. What can't be done is build on, put landscape structures on, build barriers on or anything else without the board of directors of Casa Paloma 1, HOA approving with a majority vote.

Now there are other things the HOA does to maintain for the great good of our community, which is allowed in our by-laws.

Our venue here in CP 1, is unique and has its own personality within our landscaping, layout and our architecture design both in buildings and landscape, which we enjoy and will protect and maintain.

I am open to discussion, your input and thoughts, but at this time this is the way we are going to operate and use as our guide lines to operate under.

Always open to hear from you and your thoughts

Ray U'Ren

President
