RULES
Below are the most commonly overlooked rules of
the Main Street Village Homeowners Association
Pets
Pet owners must immediately pick up solid waste from
their pet
on any common area or lot. The waste must be promptly disposed
in the pet owner's suitable designated refuse container.
Pets may not be staked
on the lot or common ground or to the building
in any manner including but not limited to such devices as runs,
leashes or pet stakes. Invisible fencing or
other electronic devices are not permitted.
Pets must be leashed at all times as required by law.
Exterior Modifications
Any modifications to the outside of your house must be approved by the
Association's Board of Directors. An Architectural Changes Form must be
filled out and mailed to the board through Shew Community Management.
The form can be found in the "Notices and Forms" section of the website.
Vehicles & Parking
No automobile or other vehicle with expired tags, registration or
state inspection sticker or which is inoperable, may be kept or stored anywhere
on the property, except in a garage which is part of a unit.
Vehicles must be maintained so as not
to damage
the parking areas (i.e., leaking oil, gas, or other fluids)
All vehicles must be parked in
garages, driveways, or designated parking areas.
No parking on sidewalks, curbside or any other common areas.
Now
that almost every home in the development is occupied, parking
spaces are less abundant. Please be courteous and considerate of your
neighbors. Whenever possible, and especially if your vehicle will be
unmoved for an extended period of time, please park your vehicle in your
garage or driveway. This will help keep more parking spaces available for visitors.
Signs
Only one, temporary, un-illuminated sign, not exceeding 6 square feet (2’ x 3’),
advertising the sale or lease of a specific unit, is permitted on the advertised property.
This sign may remain on the property until a transaction on the property is completed.
Only one, temporary,
un-illuminated sign, not exceeding 6 square feet (2’ x 3’),
advertising an open house for a specific unit for sale or lease, is permitted
on common ground within the Main Street Village property
on the day of the open house. The open house
sign may only be displayed
on the day of the open house and must be removed immediately at the end of the open house.
Signs must not obstruct driveways, roadways, or sidewalks.

the Declaration of Covenants, Easements and Restrictions
