The Slope Assessment fees (or annual Maintenance Fees) are payable in two payments on September 1st and March 1st of every year. These fees pay for water and maintenance of the trees and vegetation on the slopes that are prevalent throughout the area. You will receive a bill in the mail, and the payments should be sent to:

Landmark Business Services at (858) 481-5809. Landmark Business Services has been hired by the HOA to respond to inquiries and handle questions and concerns accordingly.

You need to obtain an Architectural Approval Request Form that can be downloaded from the Policies web page or you can contact Landmark Business Services and request the form. Return the completed form to:

Some minor modifications such as exterior painting and roof replacements may be approved quickly. Some colors, types and manufacturers have been pre-approved by the HOA, consult the Policies web page for more details.

Yes! The HOA requires Landmark Business Services to keep approvals and violations on file. It will be quickly determined whether the existing color or type material is currently approved and not in violation. The goal is to maintain the overall consistency of the community by enforcing the PC&Rs.

It is best to allow about 30 days, but most approvals take much less time depending on how complete your submittal is. Along with your completed form, you must include plans, elevations, brochures and color chips. As a courtesy you should inform your neighbors of the pending work, but you do not need their approval.

Yes! The homeowner must inform any neighbors who will be significantly affected of any planned modification that will require construction in excess of roof replacement, painting, or window and door replacements. The association recommends that the homeowner maintain a written record of providing such notice. You do not, however, need your neighbors' approval of the intended modifications since only the HOA Board/Architectural Committee has the authority to approve or disapprove modifications based on the Association's By-Laws and PC&Rs. The Board's responsibility is to assure all homeowners that those guidelines are met.

The Committee consists of volunteer homeowners, currently three members including the Architectural Chairperson, and one volunteer assistant. Landmark Business Services helps by handling communication and follow-up with the committee and homeowners.

About one-half of the properties in the community have easements on both sides of the home. This allows a homeowner to landscape and have exclusive use of the land up to the adjoining neighbor's exterior wall. Along with this privilege comes restrictions. The original developer was thoughtful in restricting the size and height of side windows for privacy, also side set back requirements for structures. In general, these are common sense courtesy guidelines for both neighbors affected by the easements. These restrictions are contained in the official documents received by every homeowner when buying their home. Modification submittals should address these easement restrictions. For specific information regarding easements, consult the Policies web page.

Yes! Although originally disallowed, the PC&Rs were officially modified in 1995 by majority homeowner vote. Cars are still required to be garaged unless garage space is inadequate. The HOA trusts this privilege will not be abused by homeowners parking numerous or unsightly vehicles in the driveways, thereby detracting from the beauty of our special community.

Yes! But only the night before. Again, maintaining the consistency and beauty of our neighborhood is foremost. If many homeowners curbed their rubbish throughout the week prior to pickup day, the neighborhood would be an unsightly mess. (The City of Solana Beach code enforcement requires trash cans and rubbish not be stored anywhere visible from the street.)
