Valuables in Vehicles

_I

f you park your vehicle on the street, be sure to not leave anything in site that may look valuable to a thief.

There has been at least one report to Management of a recent car break in.

Even if something in your vehicle doesn’t seem valuable to you, anything left in visible in your vehicle is definitely valuable to a thief (i.e. removable mount from GPS, car charger for a cell phone, etc.).

Remember, if you see anything suspicious, you should call the San Jose Police Department at (408) 277-8911 immediately. Never approach anyone yourself because that will put yourself and others in danger. Try to get the best description possible when reporting a suspicious person but always stay in a safe place.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sandra at Neighborhood Association Management.

Landscape

_P

lease do not remove cobble stones to any bare areas with in the property. This is causing sprinkler heads to be damaged, which in turn, costs each homeowner money to repair this damage. To avoid dues being increased, please do not move these stones. They are in the location they are for a reason and should not be touched.

If you have concerns about an area of landscape, please contact Management so they can inform the landscape committee.

Holiday Lights

_I

f you have not yet done so, please remove all holiday lights and decorations.

All decorations should be removed in a timely manner after which the holiday has passed.

If you have questions about this, please look in your 2010 Disclosures, Polices and Rules packet that was mailed to you in November. You can find this under Architectural/Landscape Guideline under the Lights(Front) section.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact management.

Trespassers

lease keep an eye out for people who do not belong here. It was reported to Management that a couple of people who do not live in the community set off M80’s in the late hours of the evening.

If you ever see someone who does not live here, or who is doing something illegal, or just plain trespassing, please call the san Jose Police Department at 408-277-8900.

If you witness a crime in progress, you should call 911 immediately. Never approach anyone yourself. Doing so can put yourself in a dangerous situation.

The Police Department will come onto private property if they are called for trespassers or a crime.

Maintenance

_P

DO NOT prop open or duct tape a broken gate. Contact Management to get it fixed. If you call regarding a light out, please get the number on the light pole. The maintenance crew comes during the day and need this number to make sure that the correct light is changed and/or repaired.

Parking

_P

lease remember that parking in the red marked Fire Lane is illegal and your vehicle may be subject to immediate towing. You may park in your garage or driveway, as well as in designated parking spaces. Please be considerate of your neighbors and do not block their driveway. Please do not park on a corner or within 6 feet of a corner as this obstructs a driver’s vision when making the turn. You may also be held liable if your vehicle is parked on a corner and there is an accident. Vehicles that are illegally parked will be ticketed and/or towed. If you are not sure of the parking rules, please refer to the 2009 Disclosures, Policies, and Procedures that were mailed in November of last year, or contact management.
