Each member of the FHR HOA and each of the 114 lots within FHR are governed by a set of recorded documents, By-Laws and Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs).

In addition to the powers and duties of the Board, enumerated in article 9 of the By-Laws, the Board has been entrusted by the membership to ensure compliance with provisions of the CC&Rs, particularly Article III, Section 2 (a) Architectural Control.

The Board will accomplish its responsibilities in accordance with Article III, Section 2 (v) by conducting monthly drive by inspections and by responding to written requests/complaints of members.

If the Board determines a member is not in compliance with a provision of the CC&Rs or the Architectural Control Guidelines, the Board will send the member a letter referencing the specific provision of the CC&Rs or ACC Guidelines and afford the member an opportunity to make appropriate corrections or, with 15 days, submit a letter to the Board outlining specific plans to correct the non-compliance. If, by the next scheduled inspection, the member has not corrected or submitted a plan for correcting the non-compliance, the Board will send a second letter. This letter will again identify the provision and the non-compliance and inform the member that the third and all subsequent notices until corrected will include a $100 fine.

In the event a member is in debt to the HOA in the amount of $500 or more (including delinquent dues, fines, penalties and interest) collection action will be initiated in accordance with Article VII of the CC&RS.

The Board recently completed an initial drive through inspection and there were several common discrepancies noted.

1. Gravel driveways needing attention (Article X, Section 4 of CC&Rs and para II d of ACC Guidelines)
2. Pet enclosures and barking dogs (Article III, Section 2 (b)
3. Sheds, (ACC Guidelines Section II, para (e) and (f)
4. Unsightly mess in back yards visible from nearby lots or streets (Article X, Section 3) (Article III, Section 2 (e).

The Board will start conducting formal monthly tours through the development starting in mid April.
