CCR Enforcement Procedure - effective September 1, 2006
A CCR enforcement procedure was adopted by the Board of Directors as a result of input provided by Homeowners during the 2006 Homeowner survey. Homeowners expressed an interest in having the Wildview Ridge CCR's uniformly and consistently enforced using a combination of warnings and fines. After much discussion and Homeowner feedback, a new procedure has been developed and will go into effect on September 1, 2006.

Interpretation - CCR Article 12, Section 7 - Animals
The phrase "No animals (pets) except dogs, cats, caged birds, fish and tanks, and other household pets, will be permitted on Lots." shall be interpreted to include a restriction on any and all farm animals including, but not limited to chickens, cows, goats, horses, mules, or pigs, etc. In this reference, the term "caged birds" refers to indoor pets (e.g., parrot, parakeet, etc) that are kept caged and are not free to roam outdoors. Farm animals are not permitted on any lot due the potential for noise, sanitary concerns, potential predators or pests, and overall nuisance potential.
Interpretation - CCR Article 12, Section 14 - Seasonal Lighting
The CCR phrase "This restriction on outdoor lighting shall not in any way be construed to limit the right of any Lot Owner to install typical exterior lighting on structures and within yard areas for security purposes, or to install specialty lighting, such as, but not limited to lighting associated with holidays, such as Christmas" is intended to permit seasonal lighting for various holidays. The term "season" is interpreted as a difinitive period of time during which temporary lighting or decorations for the holiday in question may be installed without ACC approval. All such lighting must be removed after the season. No seasonal lighting shall be permitted to remain on the exterior of the residence or lot beyond 30 days following the holiday. This includes lights and decorations associated with the holiday.
Homeowners that wish to install permanent lights on the exterior of the residence or lot are governed by ACC rules and procedures and should contact the ACC to apply for approval according to ACC requirements.
