Proposed Bylaws Amendment

Amendment A (Draft)

Section I – Purpose

The purpose of this amendment is to provide clarity, guidelines and direction for all properties and streets within the association to all property owners and the association. To preserve the value of each property in the association each of us must be responsible for maintaining our yard and exterior of the home. Sometimes, it may only require a friendly reminder that some work is needed. Additional measures may be necessary to ensure that an issue is resolved in a timely manner to comply with our request. The association is not here to rule over homeowners. We believe we have a common goal to keep the neighborhood beautiful and safe for all.

Section II – Infractions

We will use Title 8 and Title 20 from the Code of Ordinances for city of Wichita as our compliance guidelines. Those guidelines are listed on pages 3 and 4 of this amendment. When an infraction occurs, the homeowner will receive a letter from the association with an Infractions Report and a due date to remedy the issue. Infractions are items or things that need paint, cut, repair, replacement, or immediate attention. Infractions come in many forms, for example:

• The yard needs mowing

• The fence needs repair or section replaced

• The siding needs paint or repaired.

See the infractions report worksheet example for more details.

Section III – Fines

Fines will be used to ensure compliance with our requirements is met. (See Table 1) The table is more of a starting point or reference than hard rules. The association is willing to negotiate the time to resolve an infraction with the homeowner. We understand that not every circumstance can be measured the same. So please, reach out to us if you are having difficulty meeting the due date. We want to work with you and do not want to cause hardship.
