FAQ / New Homeowner Hints: Can you give me some helpful hints for new homeowners to get started in the SMVE Community?

1. NO overnight STREET vehicle parking especially of recreational vehicles or trailers by Homeowners or contractors. Sidewalks must remain clear for pedestrians as well.
2. ANY REMODELING, Painting (inside or out), or Flooring work, call Bill Page, Chair of the Architecture Committee for approval.*
3. LANDSCAPING: Absolutely NO trimming of plants by you or your landscaper in any common areas. For plantings and landscaping advice and clearance, call the Chair of the Landscape Committee.
4. RECREATIONAL AREA/POOL KEY: It is the responsibility of your Real Estate Agent to secure for you. Otherwise, the Board has set up a backup process: $55.00 cost, plus a trip to SMVE HOA accountant with approval of SMVE HOA President. Recreation area keys are carefully limited for use of SMVE Homeowners.
5. NO YARD OR GARAGE SALES are allowed because of serious community safety/security issues.
6. POST LIGHTs: It is highly recommended that all Homeowners leave their “dusk to dawn” front post light in the ON position 24/7. Post lights have a photocell. Lights remain our first line of defense to maintain a safe and secure community.
7. Please see the Documents & Policies page for more complete information about rules and policies.

* Please note: you are responsible for informing contractors in advance about the Association’s prohibition against Port-a-Potties, no overnight trailers, and no trash or supplies remaining in the yard visible from the street. In addition, cleanup is required at the end of each day and no advertising signs by contractors may be left in the yard.
