The Spring Breeze Community Association (SBCA) Board completes inspections of property within our development with respect to general upkeep, maintenance, and aesthetics. This is done by either our annual review campaign, or via periodic review. Annual reviews are typically conducted in September each year. During both types of reviews, Board volunteers review assigned segments on our community for a variety of exterior items. While it is impossible to summarize every possible item subject to review, below is a listing of those items that are typically examined by the SBCA.

• Exhaust vent cover(s) maintenance or repair
• Door paint or repair
• Shutters paint or repair
• Trim on sides paint or repair
• Gutter cleaning or maintenance
• Rake or fascia board paint or repair
  • Rake: The sloping edge of a steep roof
  • Fascia: A horizontal, flat element
• Gable paint or repair
  • Gable: The upper portion of an end wall formed by the slope of a roof
• Deck paint or repair
• Garbage can visible from front or side
• Recycling Bin visible from front or side
• Drain lines overly exposed in front yard or side yard
• Grids on windows missing or broken
• Exterior light repair
• House number(s) missing
• Tree or shrub prune or trim
• Trash or debris, front yard
• Trash or debris, back yard
• Lawn needs mowing or weeding
• Fence replacement or repair

Once initial reviews are completed, the Board sends letters to those property owners whom the Board believes to have exterior maintenance and/or aesthetic violations. Property owners are sent an initial notice whereby they are given a wide ranging grace period to address the cited violation. The length of this grace period varies upon the severity of the violation and/or frequency of non-compliance with similar past violations. Properties that do not address the cited violation within the stated grace period are sent follow-up notices, which grant an additional grace period. This additional grace period is usually between 7 and 30 days before further enforcement is requested of the Kings Contrivance Village Board.

Since the SBCA does not have its own architectural review guidelines, it is the policy of the SBCA to utilize the experience and expertise of the Kings Contrivance Community Association (KCCA) - Residential Architectural Committee (RAC) when determining which issues require additional enforcement. When the SBCA has questions about what is and what is not a violation, the SBCA references the established RAC architectural guidelines for direction. It is important to note that the process by which the KCCA enforces its own covenants and the SBCA architectural review process are separate and distinct. Moreover, while the SBCA references the RAC guidelines, they are not enforceable by SBCA. Only the KCCA through their Architectural Committee (AC) can enforce action upon an individual homeowner. Furthermore, the RAC guidelines are an interpretation of the existing covenants currently in place between all SBCA residents and the KCCA. Nevertheless, the SBCA chooses to reference the RAC guidelines during its architectural review process, and will call the attention of any potential maintenance violations to the KCCA-RAC.

If through dialogue between the SBCA and the KCCA-RAC certain maintenance issues are determined to be either moot or are not of particular consequence to the RAC, these details are communicated to the property owners. Conversely, this dialogue allows for refinements to either of these respective processes.
