SECTION C
RULES AND REGULATIONS


ARCHITECTURAL CONTROLS

The Beachwalk Homeowner’s Architectural Guidelines were developed by the Architectural Committee and approved by the Board of Director’s in November 1997. The Guidelines are not intended to supersede or modify the CC&R’s and are subject to modification, addition or deletion as the need may arise. The Guidelines are available for review in Clubhouse 1 and on the Association website www.beachwalkhoa.org. The Architectural Guidelines contain criteria for the following:

• Block Walls and Caps
• Door Replacement
• Exterior Alterations Including Room Additions
• Flags, Banners
• Fence Relocation
• Garage Doors
• Patio Covers
• Rain Gutters
• Rear Gates
• Satellite Dishes
• Signs
• Solar Tubes and Sky Lights
• Window Replacement

A. Association common area, as defined by the CC&R’s, is the portion of the Planned Residential Development (PRD) owned by the Association. In general, this contains those areas of land outside the fences and buildings enclosing individual home units and includes driveways, sidewalks and access paths. No grading or excavation shall be made upon, nor shall any buildings, fences, walls, walks, or other or temporary structures or improvements be erected, constructed, altered or maintained upon any part of the Association common areas except as authorized by the Board of Directions on the recommendation of the Architectural Committee. Those areas of land outside fences and building structure but within the individual unit’s recorded lot line (thus part of that unit’s property) will be treated as common area relative to control and maintenance.

B. No grading or excavation shall be made upon, nor shall any buildings or other permanent or temporary structures be erected or maintained upon the separate property of each home unit, nor shall any authorized fence, wall structure or the exterior of individual home units be altered in any manner until complete plans and specifications have been submitted to the Architectural Committee for consideration and have been approved by the Board of Directors. Homeowners are advised of the necessity of keeping a record of the Board approval letter and permits, if required and accompanying drawings for evidence of legality on resale of their separate property.

C. Violations of the Architectural Guidelines may lead to a penalty assessment, legal action, and removal of violating architectural change or any combination thereof.

D. Approvals given by the Board of Directors do not negate the necessity of complying with the Huntington Beach City Buildings Codes, which require the issuing of a building permit and inspection of the work. Conversely, Huntington Beach City Building Department approval does not imply Beachwalk Board of Directors approval. Homeowners are advised of the necessity to obtain building permits for the electrical, plumbing and other alteration that they intend to undertake on the interior of their units. Failure to obtain permits or comply with City codes could result in difficulties at a later date or when the home is offered for sale.

E. Proposed changes to plans and specifications previously approved by the Board shall be resubmitted for additional approval.

F. House address numbers are provided by the Association and are placed above the garage at the front of the unit. Owners may install a second set of numbers. The numbers must not exceed five (5) inches and cannot be attached to any other location.

G. Flags. Beachwalk residents’ display of the American Flag shall be consistent with Civil Code 1353.5. This rule only applies to the display of the American Flag and no other flags.

RUBBISH AND DEBRIS

A. Trash containers are provided by Rainbow Disposal and are assigned to each address.

B. Containers may be placed in the driveways adjacent to your unit after 4:00 p.m. the evening prior to pick-up days and must be removed by the end of the day of pick-up. They are to be kept inside the dwelling unit at all other times.

C. Extra rubbish collection (large objects) is available by calling Rainbow the day prior to the regular collection day.

D. The dumping of any type of debris over or behind a fence into the common area is prohibited. This includes weeds, plant trimmings, animal feces, etc. 

E. It is unlawful to dispose of toxic materials in the street gutters and/or drains. Toxic waste must be taken to the Rainbow Disposal Yard.
