Street Trees and Sidewalks
Washington County required the planting of the trees in the parking strips (areas between the sidewalk and streets). These trees are the responsibility of the homeowner and not the Association and shall be regularly maintained by the homeowner under the CC&R’s Architectural and Construction Standards. This is in addition to the ordinances, rules and regulations of Washington County, Oregon.
CCR’s Article 18 Landscaping and Maintenance
Owners shall maintain at all times such their lot and improvements in an attractive, neat, and good condition as provided herein, at such Owner’s or Occupants expense. Required maintenance and repair shall include without limitation:
(1) Maintenance of all parking areas, privates drives, curbs, and walkways in a clean and safe condition, including cleaning and repairing as often as necessary.
(2) Maintenance of landscaping in an attractive and neat order, trimmed and cut at all times, free of brush, weeds, debris and in compliance with the Street Tree Landscaping Plan (required by Washington County). The plan includes sidewalks and street trees (NOTE this provision includes the area between the property line of any lot and nearest curb).
CCR’s Article 24 Sidewalks and driveways
All driveways shall extend from the edge of the finished surface of streets in Arbor Ridge to the surface of the garage floor and shall be constructed of concrete and/or materials acceptable to the Committee such as brick or cobblestones. No asphalt driveways will be permitted. Sidewalks shall be installed, by the owner of each lot in compliance with the standards of the governing political authority.
Washington County Sidewalks
Maintaining Existing Sidewalks Property owners in unincorporated Washington County are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks adjacent to their property (ORS 368.910). A county right-of-way permit is required for sidewalk repair.
Vehicle Concerns
Our CC&R’s require that each dwelling have off street parking.
- If you have a three-car garage, that means parking for six (6) vehicles using the garage and driveway.
- If you have a two-car garage, that means parking for four (4) vehicles using the garage and driveway.
- If you have a one-car garage, that means parking for two (2) vehicles using the garage and driveway.
Please use these provided spaces on your lot for parking and allow street parking for visitors or for temporary parking.
The Washington County Sheriff department manages the public streets in our neighborhood. If you believe a vehicle is abandoned, sitting in disrepair, is not a neighbor’s vehicle or is a hazard to the neighborhood then contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Department.
We live in unincorporated Washington County Oregon. Homeowners must follow the County and State rules as they apply and may supersede HOA CCR’s. We are not part of any of the Cities of Hillsboro, Portland or Beaverton.
- Please visit the Washington County Sheriff Vehicles and Parking site
- Or call the Washington County Sheriff Non Emergency Number
Our Management Company can send only a friendly reminder if you provide the vehicle and homeowner information. We are not able to fine or tow a vehicle on the street as this is handled by the Washington County Sherriff and homeowners will need to contact them to remediate any issues related to vehicles concerns.
Annual Reserve Studies 2010
Each year the board engages a study that is required by law to analyse the funding of the reserve accounts to cover future expenses in the community. The Reserve study also assists the Board and the Management Company to plan when future projects need to be completed to help keep the community looking in the best condition possible for it’s Home Owners. If you have any questions on the study feel free to contact the Management Office or attending a Board Meeting.
