My question involves real estate located in the State of: California
My HOA is fining me because they say my Basketball hoop is in view of the common area.
Our CC & R's State :
Section 7
The term "Common Area" shall mean all portions of the Project except separate interests therein, and shall include a) all common recreational facilities, if any, as well as all other land, structures and facilities within the Project which are conveyed to the Association for the use and enjoyment of the Owners,b) mutual or reciprocal easement rights appurtenant to the Separate Interests , and c) any easements or other areas which the Association is required to maintain hereunder. The Common Area in the Project consists of easement areas which the Association is required to maintain described as Parkway Maintenance, Perimeter Walls and Storm Drain Facilities, all as described below. Only those Parkway Maintenance Areas and Perimeter Walls in Phase 1 ( in Tract 28997-1) and only those Storm Drain Facilities constructed in Tract 28997-1, will be included as Common Area in the first Phase of the Project.
I have no association maintained property in fornt of my house. We have no community pool etc. Is the underlined area mean a sidewalk. Is the sidewalk considered " Common Area" ? The streets and sidewalks are both maintained by the county.
ANyone know anything??
Thanks
