Summer Reminders 2020

8/4/2020

 
Canterwood Residents,

The HOA office has noticed a recent uptick of compliance violations within the community. The most regularly noticed are underage drivers driving golf carts, removal and screening of garbage cans from view and exterior projects being started without approval from the Architectural Control Committee. 

We would like to remind everyone that even during the COVID - 19 mandates,  the Rules and Regulations and Residential Guidelines still apply to all residents and their guests. Penalties for non-compliance with governing documents may still be assessed in the future.

We invite you all to go to the Canterwood Website, canterwood.org, to review and update yourself on Canterwood's policies and procedures.

If you are uncertain about a specific rule or aren't sure whether an outdoor project needs to be reviewed by the ACC, please do not hesitate to call or email the HOA Office. We are here to help and encourage you to reach out. The office number is 253-851-6158 and the email is canterwood@bell-anderson.net. 

The HOA office is still on limited hours of operation but are able to respond to emails and return phone messages within 24 hours. 
 
Sincerely,
The Canterwood HOA Office

POLITICAL SIGN POLICY

6/24/2020

 
The Canterwood Board of Directors adopt the following policy governing the outdoor display of political yard signs in Canterwood:
 
Background.  Canterwood’s CC&Rs, particularly section 10.19, limit the use of signs within the development.  No allowance is made for political yard signs.  The CC&Rs were originally recorded in the 1980’s and were last amended in the early 1990’s.  Subsequently, the Washington State legislature enacted a body of law governing homeowner’s associations (RCW 64.38) which provides, among other things, that the association’s governing documents (Articles, By-Laws, covenants, rules, restrictions, and the like) may not prohibit outdoor display of political yard signs by an owner or resident on the owner’s or resident’s property before any primary or general election.  Provisions in governing documents that are inconsistent with the statutory terms are void and unenforceable.  The association and its governing documents may, however, include reasonable rules and restrictions regarding the placement and manner of display of political yard signs. 
 
The statute.    RCW 64.38.034(1) provides: “The governing documents may not prohibit the outdoor display of political yard signs by an owner or resident on the owner’s or resident’s property before any primary or general election.  The governing documents may include reasonable rules and regulations regarding the placement and manner of display of political yard signs.”
 
Each political yard sign must comply with each of the following statutory requirements/limitations:           
 
  • Signs must be political in nature.
  • Signs must be located outdoors.
  • Signs must be located on the owner’s or resident’s property.
  • Signs may be displayed only prior to a primary or general election.
  • Signs must be related to a primary or general election.
Rules and regulations.  In addition to the statutory requirements/limitations, the placement and display of political yard signs by owners and residents is subject to compliance with each the following:
 
  • Signs must relate to a candidate or issue on the primary or general election ballot.
  • Signs shall not be displayed more than 60 days before the primary or general election.
  • Sign size shall not exceed 18” x 24”.
  • Only one sign per candidate or issue is allowed.
  • No lighting or illumination of the signs, or electronic signs, are allowed.
  • Signs must be located safely and reasonably on the property (for example, not in a manner that would obstruct pedestrian or vehicle traffic or lines of sight).
  • Signs must be removed within 7 days after the election.
