Landscaping Community Land Guidelines

Picture
Land Stewardship Team
​
Revised 04/15/02

The LST encourages homeowners to plant and rejuvenate community property adjacent to their property with the following guidelines:
  • Common areas can be planted with plants and other landscaping features; no permanent structures without team approval.  (See Private Use of Community Resources Agreement.)
  • Plant only the land that has been disturbed.  Do not disturb the native vegetation (i.e. pinon, juniper, oak etc.)
  • Eliminate any noxious or invasive weeds.
  • Maintain drainage features.
  • When planting front yards to the pathways, be aware that the pathway needs a total of 12 feet of access for fire trucks to drive on.  Ground cover and hardy low plants may be used near the pavement.
  • There are utility easements along lot lines adjacent to pathways or roads for underground utilities.  If one of those utilities needs to be serviced in the future, any landscaping could be destroyed.
(These guidelines were originally established in a community decision from April 15, 2002.)
