New construction or remodeling questions? New construction and remodeling must comply to County Codes and related CC&R's. . If new construction is taking place on your street, it could inpact the value of adjacent property. Setbacks, height and square footage are critical elements. If you are concerned, contact a SAH board member. Information on CC&R's has been added to the History page Community volunteers The Board wishes to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to those of you who volunteer in making our community a more pleasant area in which to live. Property maintenance The Board reminds those who are doing construction that it is you or your contractors' responsibility to keep the trash inside the fence and under control. We also remind property owners that the street area, which may be outside of their fence, needs to be maintained to prevent the spread of weeds and to control erosion. A warning has been given as to this being a high fire danger season due to the early drying of weeds and grasses. Several properties in the community are also in dire need of repair and an effort is being made to contact these owners to inform them of their responsibility. Intersection issues The major intersection at the Northbound off ramp from Interstate 280 onto Magdalena has been of concern to several users. If you travel that road and would like to share your thoughts on a better working configuration than currently at this exchange, you may share them with John Thomas of Catrans at (510) 286-4603. The CHP also reminds us that when stopped at a Stop sign, you must wait until it is safe to enter the roadway. This is especially important at intesections like Country Club, Arbor and Loyola where stop signs are placed a long way back from the road.
