WE HAVE PUT A CHAIN AROUND AREA AND PEOPLE ARE STILL LEAVING ITEMS. We have a Bulky Item Pick-Up available to all residents twice a year (up to 5 items each time). Please contact management to set up.

Vehicles with modified exhaust systems must idle while driving through the community and must not be excessively noisy when starting the engine Pursuant to Fernwood Policies, excessively noisy vehicles are not permitted (Section D. Vehicles, No. 1). No loud noises particularly between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. (Section G. Conduct, No. 4 & 5).

Vehicle Parking Enforcement - For Guest Parking and No On-Street Parking/Fire Lanes – All of our Community streets have been designated as fire lanes by the fire department as stated on all our Community signs and the red striping throughout the Community. Parking on the street is permitted for purposes of loading and unloading only (with flashers up to 20 minutes), not for visiting. Please make sure to tell family, friends, and caregivers. Vehicles in violation are subject to being towed and residents cited. This is for the safety of our residents and to allow access by emergency vehicles.

Payment Policy for Fernwood Residents (RVs do not have a grace period) – Rent is due on the 1st of the month, 5-day grace period. Late charges are not applied until the 7th in case the 5th day falls on a weekend. This does not extend due date. If the 5th day falls on a Friday, payment must be received before the end of the business day (4:00 p.m.), otherwise, late charges will be assessed as the office is closed on the weekends. Fernwood processes checks and money orders electronically on a daily basis (Monday through Friday only). RVs DO NOT HAVE A GRACE PERIOD – RENT IS DUE ON 1st .

Home Improvements - Please obtain management approval for all improvements. Some improvements require HCD permits (HCD Permit Guidelines are available in office and online at www.hcd.ca.gov). Like you, we want our residents to be informed and we want our Community to be safe and enjoyable for all residents. Please be sure that everyone in your household, as well as your visitors, is familiar with and follow the community policies.

• WEIGHTS AND MEASURES FEE IN AUGUST – The weights and measures annual fee is $2.00 (for water meter) and will be billed on your August rent statement.

• 10 MPH - This is the speed limit throughout our community! Also, please don’t forget about the stop sign in front of the office! Let’s be safe and drive in a slow and safe manner at all times.

• BE COURTEOUS TO NEIGHBORS – We know now that summer is here; the evenings are absolutely beautiful and many of our residents enjoy spending time outside. Please make sure not to trespass in other yards and please keep noise levels down, so we don’t disturb our neighbors

• DO YOU KNOW BICYCLE SAFETY? - BICYCLE RIDING IN OUR COMMUNITY is enjoyed by many of our residents and we want everyone to enjoy themselves safely, so please be aware of your surroundings and ride in the same direction as vehicles. See page 6 for more Bicycle Safety tips.

• NO ROLLER-SKATING, ROLLERBLADING, OR RIDING SKATEBOARDS, SCOOTERS OR BICYCLES AFTER DARK in our Community. We want to keep our residents safe, and it’s extremely difficult for vehicles to see them. For the safety of our residents and to prevent damage to property, BALL PLAYING IS NOT PERMITTED in our Community. We are fortunate to have two parks nearby: One is at the corner of 4th and Grove, and the other is at the corner of 6th and Baker.

• FIOS CABLE (FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS) - telephone, internet, TV – The white box installed on the exterior of your home MUST be placed at the back of your home. Frontier is responsible for proper placement.

• LAUNDRY ROOMS – Please be courteous to others and promptly remove clothes from washers and dryers. Please do not over-fill washers and do not wash rugs, throw rugs, or comforters, as they are too big and unbalance the machines. Please report any problems to management so that they can be addressed. Also, please do not prop doors open and do not leave clothes unattended

• TREE TRIMMING AND PAINTING - All tree trimming and painting of your homes or other items on your lot (coolers, skirting, porches, shed, etc.) must be approved by management, in writing, prior to beginning. Make sure your shed (only one) is in good condition and painted in a color to match your home, as well.

• MAIL – Please make sure that all your creditors, family, schools, etc. have your space number on all correspondence. This is very important as mail carriers are not required and don’t necessarily bring management correspondence that has no space number; so your correspondence could be returned to sender. We also receive mail addressed “to the parents of” without space numbers. If your mail shows an incomplete number, remove “space” from the address and just use (#) along with the space number.
