A cluster homeowner must maintain all landscaping within their courtyard and to the side and rear of their property except for common areas. While The Glen Association maintains the front landscaping, the homeowner is responsible for watering, trimming/replacing trees, shrubs, and grass when necessary. The cluster homeowner is also responsible for maintaining the exterior structure of the home, including siding, windows, doors, and roof. Any home modifications must be submitted first to the Architectural Committee in order to obtain final approval from the Board of Directors, prior to the start of the modification project.
-
The Glen Association determines 8 to 12 years is reasonable for repainting the homes. The maintenance fee is placed in a paint reserve fund for each home. This fund remains with the home when a property is transferred to another owner. When it is time for a home to be repainted, the accumulated amount is provided to the homeowner to use toward the cost of repainting expenses. This paint reserve helps towards the cost of painting but does not cover the full expense.
-
An owner may add to their home vinyl siding, composite, or other materials with prior written approval by the Board of Directors. Vinyl siding can be added to a home, at the homeowner’s expense. However, the siding must conform to The Glen Association’s Siding Program concerning style, color, and safety requirements. Power washing of the vinyl siding and painting of trim, fences, etc. is still necessary when painting is required. If vinyl siding has been added, the homeowner must still contribute to the Paint Reserve Fund as part of the maintenance fee. The homeowner will receive reimbursement from the home’s accumulated fund when painting is determined. This may be used for power washing, repainting trim, fences, etc.
