Dear La Canada Norte Homeowner:
The Board of Directors have been reviewing recent home sale listings and found serious flaws in realtors descriptions of the amenities that the prospective home owner could expect to have on the property. The realtors are grossly misleading the purchasers with misleading information that is inconsistent with the La Canada Norte CC&R’s.
The Realtors are including statements that the prospective buyer is allowed to have RV’s, trailers, campers, cap campers, storage trailers and boats without the proper RV port structures as defined in the aforementioned above paragraph. All homeowners are responsible for the contractual language in the advertising describing the property they intend to sell.
The contents of the description should include only the rules set forth by the By Laws and CC&R’s of the La Canada Norte HOA, i.e., RV’s, trailers, boats, campers, cap campers and storage trailers can only be stored on the property if the property contains a RV port structure which must be attached to the house.
Thank you,
L Butler
President

TO ALL LA CANADA NORTE HOMEOWNERS
THIS LETTER IS IN RESPONSE TO MY STATEMENT AT THE LA CANADA NORTE HOA ANNUAL MEETING OF JANUARY 22, 2022.
I STATED THAT WE WILL NO LONGER SUBSIDIZE PAYMENTS TO OUR ATTORNEY FOR RESIDENTIAL DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE LA CANADA NORTE HOA AND THE ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THIS POINT ON WILL DIRECT YOUR COMPLAINTS, IF NOT SETTLED BY THE HOA, TO OUR ATTORNEY AND FROM THAT POINT ON ALL CORRESPONDENCE MUST BE BETWEEN THE HOA ATTORNEY AND THE RESIDENT’S ATTORNEY.
THE PRESIDENT FEELS THAT IT IS UNFAIR FOR THE HOA TO PAY LEGAL FEES FOR RESIDENTS THAT HAVE DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE HOA.
GOING FORWARD THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM. ALL HOA COMPLAINTS IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA ARE SPELLED OUT IN THE ARIZONA REVISED STATUTE AND ARE HANDLED BY THE ARIZONA SUPERIOR COURT.

Friendly Reminder to All HOA Members
A few reminders of requirements in our CC&R’s
Owners are to maintain their lot in a neat and clean manner.
All garbage cans, etc., are to be concealed from view of neighboring lots or streets.
No motorized or non-motorized vehicle of any type shall be kept anywhere upon the lot unless it is located entirely within the carport or garage of the respective owner.
All owners shall park their vehicles either on their driveway or within their respective carports or garages only.
Other Notes
Please trap rather than put poison out in your effort to get rid of a target pest. Poison placed outside can be consumed by creatures other than your target pest or can be poisoned by consuming your target pest which has eaten the poison.
It is bad policy to feed wildlife. They can become dependent on such feedings to the point they will not survive if/when such feedings are discontinued.
Thank you for your attention to the above.
Sincerely,
Your Board of Directors
