Guidelines, Processes and Rules

Amended 04-02-2017

History and Purpose

The Architectural Control Committee Guidelines and Processes were drafted by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) in July 2010 and approved by the HOA Executive Board in August 2010, and serve to further clarify the intent of the Rosewood Homeowners Covenants. The guidelines were drafted to help homeowners follow the covenants and to clarify the role of the ACC and HOA Board in support of the covenants. Each of the guidelines were drafted from either long standing processes, such as those related to house painting and roofing activities, or from common issues addressed by homeowners responding to a neighborhood maintenance questionnaire distributed to Rosewood homeowners in 2009. The ACC met in July 2010 and compiled the issues into these guidelines numbered 1-9.

The ACC and HOA Board hope neighbors find these guidelines as reasonable and supportive of the shared goal to maintain the value and appearance of the Rosewood neighborhood. In reference to Item 7.1 in the covenants, the ACC defines “nuisance or annoyance to the neighborhood or that detracts from its value as a high-class residential district” as the failure to comply with the following guidelines and processes. Non-compliance with these guidelines will be reviewed by the ACC and discussed with the appropriate homeowner(s).

Chronic or extended violation of these guidelines, processes and rules will be escalated to the HOA Board for consideration as a potential violation of neighborhood covenants, fines and escalation to exercising lien rights as per 6.1 and 6.9 in the covenants + legal fees.

If you have suggestions for changes to these processes and topics, please feel free to send them to The Rosewood Board and ACC via The Rosewood HOA secretary at [email protected]

Rules, Regulations and Procedures (per 4.2 in the CC&R’s) The Architectural Control Committee (ACC)’s responsibility is the external appearance of properties within the Rosewood Homeowners Association in accordance with provisions in the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). Under the CC&Rs and applicable state laws, the Board is responsible for making appropriate rules and policies for the Association. *The board and the ACC also met on October 30th, 2016 to discuss newly forming concerns and issues from home owners and from neighboring communities in an effort to maintain neighborhood values, find a way to encourage compliance with these topics. As per 4.2 in the CC and R’s we formed and adopted a more comprehensive set of Rules, Regulations and Processes as shown below. These new procedures are found to be in line with the intent of the covenants and will become effective January 1st 2017. These documents will be open to future revisions – amendments as approved and as necessary by the board and the ACC Committee.

General Rules & Guidelines As stated in the guidelines and processes, owners must submit plans and specifications for work which alters the external appearance of a property to the ACC for approval as set out in the CC&Rs. ACC approval must be received before the work is commenced. As new technologies emerge, they will not be specifically addressed by the guidelines or the CC&Rs. It is important that homeowners file an ACC request if the planned utilization, in any way, affects the exterior of the property. The ACC’s general criteria for approval of any work will be its harmony with surrounding houses and the neighborhood in general, but the ACC’s decisions are also governed by the CC&Rs and the ACC may make additional policies concerning external improvements in accordance with the CC&Rs. Homeowners are responsible for obtaining any government permits required for the work they plan to do. Neither the ACC nor the homeowners’ association is liable for any failure to obtain necessary permits.

Specific Rules and Infraction Levels To help administer the ACC’s responsibilities, the ACC and The Board of Directors has adopted the following rules and schedule of fines for violation of the rules:

Landscaping Infraction = Level 1 Rules & Guidelines: Homes to be maintained (see 8.7 in covenants as reference) “in a professionally landscaped manner”. Owners shall maintain their vegetation adjacent to public sidewalks and keep sidewalks free of excessive debris to ensure that pedestrian traffic is not impeded.

o Lawns need to be mowed on a regular basis, maintained, and be free of weeds. o Trees, shrubs and bushes shall be trimmed per 7.9 and 7.10 and as needed. o Leaves and yard debris should be removed promptly, as needed.

Exterior Paint and Color Infraction = Level 3

Rules & Guidelines: Houses need to be painted when necessary (as determined by the age and wear of the paint on elevations and decorative features such as trim, shutters, porches, etc.).

Exterior paint color including siding, gutters, doors and window frames shall be submitted to and must be approved by the ACC before owners commence painting. To facilitate approval, information submitted should include paint manufacturer, identifying color name and product number for each color to be used. This provision applies even if there is no change in colors currently used on the property, (see guidelines and processes for specific details on approval).

Short term or nightly rentals Infraction = Level 3

Short term or nightly rentals under 12 months are prohibited Rules & Guidelines: Section 7.1, 7.6 and 8.1 of the Rosewood CC&Rs restricts commercial use and anything that would be a nuisance, detract from a high class single family neighborhood. From our research and from neighboring HOA’s reports short term rentals have been seen as a way to lower property values, contributing to added traffic in and out, street parking – abnormal noise or activity at all hours. Rosewood is a single family neighborhood and is not zoned through King County for commercial / transient lodging purposes. The use, operation or establishment of any short term rental of any residential home in Rosewood is not permitted as it constitutes commercial activity. Any property owner, renter, sub-lease or LLC corporation who operates a short term rental of all or a portion of their property for less than 12 months is subject to enforcement action by The Rosewood Home Owner’s Association. This sections applies to the occupancy of any house by a person other than its Owner, including occupancy by tenants, assignees and subtenants, excluding family members or care givers who share full time occupancy
