JRMA CC&R Questions (for prospective buyers)

• B. It talks about hotels, Apts, and Commercial. What are the details on this part of the development? How many will be townhomes, SFRs apts, hotels, and commercial – any other information? This is a large planned development that will have commercial, apartment, and hotel lots as well as a mix of single-family and townhome neighborhoods. I can’t tell you exactly how many of each,  only that it will be a mixed community.
• C. Can the CCRs can get changed until the development is finished without our vote? Technically, yes. 

Under “Definitions:”

• 2.01 Please explain “apartment units” and if any mention of apartment units applies to our home.  Apartments are typically multi-floor buildings with individual units all owned and managed under one company. Townhomes and single-family homes are not considered apartments. Condos are apartment units that are individually owned.

Does “The board determining common assessments” mean, should they need to increase the HOAs? Sounds like it. The board has unilateral authority to change the assessments as needed within the bounds of the law.

How are we protected against assessments that don’t relate to us? For example, the townhomes need the exterior painted. Townhome units or any units that have services that are specific to that unit and benefit less than all units, such as townhome buildings and their surrounding common areas, are typically placed into service areas that have their own fees. Service Areas are similar to Sub Associations with separate bank accounts and budgets, although they are still subject to the master association. For example, all the units in a new townhome subdivision will be assigned to a service area that has its own service area assessments. The service area assessments are charged to the owners in addition to the master assessments. There are no instances where the master HOA fund will cover the maintenance of individual buildings or units. 

When is the estimated completion of this development going to be done and the CCRs be turned over to the owners? This date is long in the future and is not yet determined at this time. It’s a large development that will take many years to complete. 

5.10 – It appears that short-term rentals won’t be decided until the CCRs are turned over to the owner-run association – is that correct? If not, which units will be able to do short-term rentals? How does an owner qualify or apply for short-term rentals (the process)? Only certain areas within the development will be designated for short-term rentals. Short-term rentals must follow certain criteria such as being designated as such on the plat. None of the current subdivisions have short-term rentals. The development will decide which areas will be approved at their sole discretion.

7.03 Can we have an LLC home-run work live business as long as it’s not disruptive – correct? We can also work from home – correct? You may have a home business as long as it is approved by the HOA. Working from home is obviously allowed. But running a business from your home is quite different than working from home. Home businesses will need to be approved by the HOA and must follow certain rules as determined by the HOA. Typically this would include things like limiting parking/traffic impacts on the neighborhood, not using HOA facilities for the business, not advertising the business from the property with signs/banners, limiting noise, and other impacts on the neighborhood. 

7.24 You can only have one more person unrelated living in the home – correct? For example, what if you have two partners or friends (not married) living with you – would that violate this section? This is basically saying you can’t have multiple households under one roof. Typically this is to prevent people from renting out individual rooms as these types of situations will typically produce negative impacts on the surrounding community. There may be some restrictions in 5.09 related to renting/leasing that apply here as well. Typically you can rent out an interior dwelling unit such as a basement apartment if the owner lives in the unit as the primary resident, but if they don’t then only renting the entire unit would be permitted. 

Will backyard fencing be included? If not, can we have backyard fences? There are specific fencing guidelines for the community in the design guidelines. Fencing is allowed, but not solid privacy fencing, only open-style fencing. I believe the developer is working on subdivision-specific fencing guidelines to allow for more flexibility on this. Whether the fence would be included or not will depend on the builder. All fencing plans should be approved by the Design Review Committee/HOA prior to installation.

Can we park cars, boats, and trailers in the driveway for an unlimited amount of time? No. Boat/Trailer/RV parking is not permitted in driveways or on the street. The only place to park Boats/Trailers/RVs is on the side of the home, behind the front plane, and on a concrete pad.

Can you send these CCRs in a searchable format? We only have a scanned pdf copy from the county records which is not searchable. 

Trees – types, locations, projected heights specifically behind the house by the road that could block views? Can we be involved in the placement?  Yes, although any landscape improvements/changes must be reviewed and approved by the HOA prior to installation. 

Guest parking? Where? RULES for street parking both in the development and on Coyote Canyon Parkway (the street that runs along the back of our property). Wasn’t outlined in the CCRs. There is no parking on the privately owned streets that cross through the neighborhoods. These are narrow roads and there are fire restrictions that prevent parking on the street. There will be some parking stalls throughout the community off the private roads that will be designated as visitor parking. Parking stalls in service areas will be under the control of the service area. I believe there will be public parking along the city owned main roads such as Coyote Canyon Pkwy and there will be some sort of trail head with a parking lot off Coyote Canyon.

This may not be in your department but Gabby mentioned that Lennar had CenturyLink Fiber brought into the development for the internet and that it would take 5 minutes to connect. Do we need to set up an appointment with century link to get the modem and start our account? Internet is not being set up through the HOA as far as I know. I’m not sure exactly how you will need to set this up.
