MONTEFINO VILLAGE- RULES AND INFORMATION

MONTEFINO VILLAGE Rules Summary

There are certain portions of the Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CC & Rs) and the Rules enacted pursuant to the CC & Rs that affect day-to-day living in the community. Many new residents do not have or take the opportunity to review such rules. We take this opportunity to note some of the rules that affect residents day-to-day, as well as to include some information on commonly raised topics.

Community Information:

Newsletters and other current information are posted on our bulletin boards near the mailboxes and posted on our web page accessible through www.neighborhoodlink.com/chandler/mv under Neighborhood Information.

Board meetings are typically held nine months of the year at the Clubhouse at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month. The annual meeting of the community is held during the month of February.

Parking:

There is no overnight parking on the streets of the community. A towing company periodically patrols the community and will tow offending vehicles.

No parking is permitted on the pavers (bricked portions) of the cul du sac like areas, or in the marked no parking zone on the sidewalk side of streets. Parked vehicles in these areas are also subjected to being towed.

Parking spaces near each entrance are intended for visitors. Hence parking in these spaces is limited to 72 hours.

Driveway parking is permitted when the parking spaces in your garage are filled with motor vehicles.

Vehicles or items like boats, trailers motor homes, etc., may not be parked in driveways. Vehicles may not be stored in any location in the community.

Pool and Clubhouse Usage:

Use of the clubhouse meeting room is by reservation with at least 48 hours advance notice by owners and lessees whose leases are on file. A cash deposit is required and users must remove their trash and replace trash bags.

Pool rules are posted. It is important to remember that excessive noise impacts residences neighboring the pool and rowdy behavior around the pool affects other users. For the safety of all, children must be supervised.
When leaving the clubhouse fitness room lights and fans should be turned off and doors locked. As a courtesy to others, please leave the equipment configured as you found it.


Rental Properties:

Leases must be filed with the community management company.
Short-term rentals or timeshares are not permitted.

“For Lease” signs are not permitted.

Residences:

The community maintains front lawns, shrubs and trees, but they are your property to replace if loss or damage occurs. Residences with view fences are subject to rules for plantings and appearance of the Ocotillo Community Association (OCA) Design Review Board. The OCA Design Review Board maintains a list of approved plantings for our properties.

Both the Ocotillo Community Design Review Board and the Montefino Village Architectural Committee have jurisdiction over, and must approve, just about anything you wish to modify or add to the exterior of your home and lot. Be aware that contractors will rarely know, or ask about, whether our community has such rules. Check the OCA Design Guidelines & Community Rules booklet, or call OCA (480-704-2900) for information before you start an improvement project.

Many homes are approaching the age where it is recommended that repainting be performed. We typically hear painters recommend a new coat of paint within five to seven years after construction. The OCA Design Review Board must approve any change in colors.

If you have a fruit tree(s) please make sure to pick the tree(s) or cleanup the downed fruit promptly so that you and your neighbors do not have any vermin visit your yards to feed on the fruit.

Chandler has an animal leash law and a barking dog ordinance that it enforces. Nothing creates friction between neighbors faster than a pet behavior issue. Because barking may occur only when they are gone, some owners do not realize their dogs are creating a nuisance. Also, letting your dog leave piles during its walk is a guaranteed way to create issues. Please be attuned to these potential issues and act to avoid them.


Safety:

Though we are a gated community, the absence of security personnel at the gates means that the community is not secure from intruders. Due to this factor, and our water features, children should be supervised for their own protection.

Please drive cautiously in the community. The four corners should be a particular concern for motorists and pedestrians.

Satellite Dishes:

Satellite Dishes should be located in the least conspicuous location. If they must be located where they are easily visible, then they need to be painted to match the building.

Trash/Recyclables Bins:

Bins must be stored out of sight. They are to be placed at the curb for collection for no longer than 18 hours. Practically, this means bins need to be returned to storage at your property by noon of the day following collection.

Only waste or recyclables that fit in bins will be collected. Items outside bins are not collected. If you have items that are too large for your trash or recycle bins, you may call the City of Chandler at 480-782-3510 to schedule a separate pickup.

Should you have questions, please contact our property manager, Premier Community Management, telephone 480-704-2900.
