CONDOMINIUM: COMMON INTEREST DEVELOPMENT  

The term "Community” means a common interest development governed by a homeowners' association  ("HOA", “The Association”). The name of the HOA is Villa Fontaine Condominium Association. The term  "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Association. The term "Common Area" means the entire  Community except all Units shown on the Condominium Plan.  

ARCHITECTURAL RULES  

All modifications, including doors, windows, and installation of camera and/or video surveillance systems,  require Board approval. See CC&Rs, Article 7 - Architectural and Design Control for complete guidance  on this matter.  

VEHICLE AND MOTORBIKES WASHING  

Per the CC&Rs, washing vehicles was once allowed (Section 5.3.19).  

However, effective January 01, 2010, The Board disallowed car washing in an effort to conserve  water and minimize water expenses.  

COMMON AREA RESTRICTIONS  

All areas outside the front door are considered Common Area. Any items of personal nature are  prohibited without express written consent from the Board of Directors. Residents may display potted  plants as long as they have a water collection dish underneath, do not impede the walkway, and are kept  in good order. Skateboarding, bicycling and riding scooters are prohibited in the Common Areas. 

DISPOSAL OF TRASH  

Trash must be disposed of immediately in the dumpsters provided. It is NEVER okay to store trash or  compost outside a Unit’s front door for ANY length of time. Storage of any kind, however short-lived, is  not allowed in the Common Area. This includes trash left outside the front door on its way to the trash  bins, miscellaneous bags, and articles of clothing. We do not have custodial services on staff, so please  do not discard cigarette butts and other refuse around the Common Area. Put all trash and recyclables  inside the dumpsters, the refuse company will not pick up any items left on the outside of the containers.  To conserve space in the dumpsters, break down all boxes and bulky items.  

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS  

Owners/residents are not authorized to plug-in and recharge their electric vehicle using Villa Fontaine's  existing building electrical system. Villa Fontaine's electrical system does not have the capacity to support  the excessive electrical load. Owner/resident must submit an application and follow the procedure in Civil  Code Sections 4745. The owner/resident must also pay for any/all expenses of a charging station for their  vehicle in their garage or parking space including the infrastructure and meter to connect to the higher voltage main electrical line on Fontaine Street.  

GARAGES  

For reasons of security, and appearance, garage doors are to remain closed at all times unless a resident  is present in the garage. The storage of gasoline or other volatile fluids is strictly prohibited. Please turn  out lights after use of the garage has been completed. Electricity use in the garages is billed to the Association; therefore, use of computers, refrigerators/freezers, power tools and other appliances that  consume excess electricity in garages is prohibited. Excess energy usage in garages, which can be  reasonably estimated to cost the Association more than $10.00 per month, will be billed to the owner of  the garage as determined by the Board of Directors.  

LANDSCAPING  

Personal landscaping on Common Property is not permitted. All landscaping in the Common Areas is to  be done by our professional landscaper. Establishing or cultivating plant material in the Common Area is  not permitted.  Please use the sidewalks and stepping stones for pedestrian traffic. Do not create "short cuts” through the  landscape. 

LAUNDRY  

Towels, rugs, swimsuits, clothing and other items are not allowed to be hung on balcony railings or  porches.

The following are individual owner's responsibilities:  

● Air Conditioners

● Dryer Vents  

● Electrical lines to the unit circuit breaker  box

NOISE  

No disturbing noise. Noise and disruptive activities by residents, guests and/or invitees shall not disturb,  annoy, endanger, or inconvenience other residents of the building, neighbors, or workers. Nor shall they  violate any law, or commit nuisances in or about the premises.  

PARKING AND VEHICLES  

There is no on-site guest parking at Villa Fontaine. Residents and guests may only use the numbered  parking spaces assigned to their respective units. Residents and/or guests violating this rule are subject  to having their vehicles towed at the vehicle owner’s expense. If someone has parked in your space,  please do not compound the problem by illegally parking in somebody else's space.  Parking spaces are to be used for properly licensed and operable motor vehicles. Trailers, boats,  campers, and buses are not allowed. Residents shall park in assigned spaces only. Parking spaces are to  be kept clean. Vehicles leaking oil, gas or other fluids shall not be parked on the premises. Mechanical  work or storage of inoperable vehicles is not permitted in parking spaces or elsewhere on the premises.  Because of the problems of access, maneuverability, and the potential for severe property damage, large  tractor trailer trucks are prohibited, whether for moving or any other purpose. 

PATIOS AND BALCONIES AND DOORS  

All residents must comply with the CC&Rs regarding patios and balconies. The CC&Rs section 7.3.7  states that owners shall not have the right to paint, decorate, remodel or alter any Exclusive Use  Common Area or the Common Area without the prior written consent of The Board. Installation of any  child safety net, shutter, screen, blind, curtain, drape or other appurtenance must have the express  written consent from The Board. Plants, patio furniture and covered barbecues are considered  appropriate furnishings with the following limitations:  

● Plants must have a water collection dish underneath so that excess runoff does not rot or corrode  flooring  

● Patio furniture must be of outdoor type, no indoor furnishings on patios and balconies ● Barbecues must be kept clean and in working order  

● Black screen doors on front entrances of units are approved  

● Vanity screens for the balcony are allowed. They must be black or fake ivy.  

PET RULES (INCLUDES SERVICE AND THERAPY ANIMALS) 

Residents must register their pets with the Management Company. All dogs are to be leashed and cats  must be under owner control at all times while outside of their unit or in the Common Areas. All pet  owners are required to take their pet to the "Designated Pet Area" and pick up after their pet. Pet owners  shall never allow their pet to defecate or urinate in any Common Area of the property. The Designated  Pet Area is located on the east side of the property. The entrance is adjacent to the lower dumpster. Pet  owners shall indemnify the Association and hold it harmless for any loss or liability arising from a pet's  presence within the Community. Nuisance to other residents including, but not limited to, excessive  barking, defecating, urinating, destruction, debris, or running loose may be grounds for an order to  remove the offending pet from the Community. 

PLUMBING  

Please only deposit toilet paper in the toilet. Feminine products (tampons), baby wipes, and facial tissues  clog the plumbing and cause unnecessary and expensive repairs. Likewise, in the kitchen, discard large  food waste into the trash instead of the garbage disposal.
