Rules and Regulations
Section Two: Introduction, Laurel Place II Owners Association
The Laurel Place II Owners Association (hereinafter referred to as the
Association) is a legal entity, which makes the group of owners mutually
invested in a non-profit Corporation. This Corporation is for the basic purpose of
maintaining and improving the value of the members investment: ownership of
your home.

The Board of Directors (hereinafter referred to as the Board) is a group of

volunteers who serve to oversee the community investment in the property. This
is very much a mutual enterprise, and behavior which endangers the financial
investment of the whole, such as overburdening of common area parking or
behavior which causes damage or serves to make the first-impression view of a
potential buyer a negative one and thereby lower property values, will not be
allowed.

The CC&Rs for the community were given to you when you signed your Title
Company paperwork for the purchase of your home. The document in your
hands is for the purpose of restating the rules outlined in the CC&Rs in a
simplified, easy to read form.

Homes within the community are for single-family residential usage only. While
home offices are perfectly acceptable, owners (or tenants) may not run trade,
commercial, or retail activities involving client visitations to the residence or
community out of their residence; furthermore, owners may not convert the
garages to shipping, warehousing, shop, or storage use for a business, or for
anything else which would displace a vehicle from being parked within.

Future Boards retain the right to amend this document for additional or altered
content.

Section Three: General Information regarding the Community

Laurel Place II is a mixed community of single family stand-alone homes, as well

as one building with common wall lot condominium homes.

This means that the Association holds separate and distinct obligations for
maintenance dependant upon the designation of the lot owned by any given
homeowner for the residence address.

For example, owners of stand-alone homes are responsible for maintenance of

their own roofs, siding, and other structural maintenance of their homes, while
owners in the condominium structure are not responsible individually for such
maintenance and repairs. Stand-alone homes are responsible for landscaping
and maintenance of their own fenced back yards, while the owners in the
condominiums have no yards.

Because the condominium structure is the property of the Association, and each
separate unit owner owns from interior wall to interior wall only, any modifications
to these structures must first be approved IN WRITING by the Association Board
or a duly designated and approved Architectural committee acting on behalf of
the community for that purpose. Please refer to the CC&Rs for definitions
regarding what can and cannot be modified without prior approval.

While the stand-alone homes have separate maintenance obligations and own
their own structures, they too are required to adhere to the CC&R requirements
regarding Architectural Modifications, and must, just like condominium unit
owners, submit applications for any modifications which are visible to the exterior
of their homes. Any submittal must be reviewed and approved by the Board or
architectural authority of the community before an owner begins a project which
could alter the outward appearance or the behavioral aspects (such as the
drainage pattern) of the property. Remember that by State Law, the Board or
architectural authority has 45 days to review a submittal, so dont schedule
your work until you actually have the approval in your hand! Dont forget, as
well, that in many cases, the local building department requires permits for work,
so check with the City of Santa Clara Building Department before you commence
any alteration; the Board or the architectural authority of the community is NOT
responsible to determine whether owners must obtain a permit or not for any
proposed modifications.

This development was designed to provide sufficient garage storage space to

accommodate interior storage for two standard passenger vehicles per
residence. Any excess resident vehicles are forbidden to park in designated
guest spaces, and are required to be parked or stored off-site.

Section Four: General Courtesies and Rules

The following rules have been established by the Board in the interest of creating
a simplified re-statement of the Rules of the Association as stated by the CC&Rs
document, in a more easily accessible format for you and your tenants.

Please keep in mind that should you choose to lease or rent your unit out, YOU
will be held responsible for the behavior of your tenants, and the Association is
under no requirement to correct their behavior for you. Any fines or costs
incurred by their behaviors will be your financial responsibility.

1. Transfer of Association document (Senate Bill #822, section 1360 Civil

Code in July 1976 became effective as of January 1). This law requires
that when you sell your home, prior to conveying title, you give the
purchaser a copy of the current community association documents, which
would include these rules as well as the CC&Rs.

2. Leases: in order that the lines of communication be established with

lessee as well as owners, any owner renting or leasing their unit must
provide the Associations Management Firm with accurate and complete
contact information for the current lessee, as well as the owners own
accurate and complete current address and contact information.
(Owners may NOT have tenants simply forward owners mail to them from
the association address).

3. Damage to Association property is chargeable to the owner of the unit

responsible for the damage. This includes tampering or vandalism to
irrigation heads, time clocks, valves, pumps, lights, etc. Please consider
the common areas with the same respect that you would have for your
own personal property.

4. Noise: Please be courteous of your neighbors. Keep any music from your
unit at a reasonable level which will not disturb your neighbors. The City of
Santa Clara has a noise moratorium of 10 p.m.; be certain to move any
loud social gatherings strictly indoors past that time, and be aware that
noise travels through common walls easily. Your neighbors have the right
to call the police to respond to loud disturbances, and will be encouraged
to do so if circumstances are appropriate. The Board may also call
hearings regarding noise offenses, and fines to the HOA account may be
levied for this violation.

Rules and Regulations
5. Common Area Landscape areas are intended for passive recreation
only and not active sports. Organized activities, such as soccer, football,
baseball, or large parties shall be allowed on common area property only
with the pre-approval of the Board. Please be aware that the community
has very limited common area space, and the roads in the community are
in active use. The Board advises caution if allowing children to play
outside homes and urges homeowners not to allow children to play
unattended.

6. Appropriate window coverings are required. No foil, sheet paper,

cardboard, sheets, etc. may be hung in windows or from balconies or
decks. Window treatments must be of a neutral or white color as observed
from outside. All non-conformant window coverings must have the pre-
approval of the Board or the Architectural Review Committee.

7. Personal items must be stored out of view of the common areas. Patio
furniture, small refrigerators not visible from the common area, and
healthy-appearing plants may be displayed on balconies and decks, but
these areas cannot be utilized for storage of items such as ladders,
bicycles, laundry lines, etc. Childrens play items and toys such as
bicycles; scooters, etc. must not be left in front of homes and visible from
the common areas when not in use. If you are not certain the item will be
allowed, contact the management firm or the Board for approval.

8. Parking. All residents in Laurel Place II agree to abide by the

Associations parking policy. Residents are not permitted to park in guest
parking. All roads in the community are FIRE LANES. Do not park in front
of your unit in a red zone. YOU WILL BE TOWED without notice and at
your own cost.

9. Owners are responsible to clean up any mess that they make or cause
in the common area.

10. The structures of the Association are property of the Association. Should
you or a tenant or guest of your unit cause any damage to the structure,
this damage must be PROMPTLY reported to the management firm, and
will be reviewed by the Board or Architectural or Maintenance Committees
for determination of scope of repairs and authorization of the vendor to be
used for the repair. Owners and residents are under no circumstances to
effect repairs themselves without prior authorization of the Board or the
appropriate committee. This includes painting.

11. Neither the Association nor the Management Firm will be held responsible
for any items lost, damaged, or stolen.

or when open temporarily while someone is working inside.

Clara and by the Association CC&Rs as intended for vehicular storage.
Garages may NOT, under any circumstances, be converted to any other
use, including storage, workshop, workout, or living areas. Personal items
storage in garages may only occur if such storage does not displace a
passenger vehicle from being properly stored within.

15. Garages may only be used to store recreational vehicles only if the item is
contained completely within the garage and does not cause displacement
of a regular passenger vehicle. Vehicles may be parked in residence

Parking
The purpose of the garages in the Association, both from the perspective of the
City of Santa Claras conditions of approval and from the builder and of the
Association itself, is to house the vehicles of the residents of the units.

The purpose of the common area guest parking is to provide parking for
the guests of residents, emergency vehicles, and service providers for the
Association. It is NOT for overflow parking of owner vehicles.

The Board has implemented a parking policy that defines a legitimate guest and
when a guest becomes a resident vehicle. The latest copy of the parking policy is
always on display in the community notice board and on the community website.

Homeowners are strongly encouraged to read and understand the

Associations parking policy.

Parking rules
1. No vehicle can be parked ANYWHERE within the property of the
Association except for within the garages or properly parked in the marked

be towed. Attended vehicles may load and unload for a period not
exceeding 10 minutes. Use of hazard signals is advised during this time.

2. No vehicle maintenance, save for emergency repairs, may be conducted

anywhere within the Association grounds. Any such repairs conducted
must not leave behind any marks or remains (e.g. oil spots)

Satellite Dish Installation Standards

The Association recognizes that homeowners may prefer to subscribe to, and
receive satellite TV service. There are standards and rules regarding the
installation of these items, however, and the Association requires that
homeowners adhere to the standards, which are in place to facilitate the safe
installation, and to preserve the value of all homes within the community.

1. All satellite dish installations must be submitted to the Board or architectural

committee for approval prior to the satellite provider being scheduled to
perform the install. Please do not call the management office when the dish
guy arrives and expect that you will be able to proceed with the installation.
DO NOT SCHEDULE YOUR INSTALLATION UNTIL YOU HAVE OBTAINED
AN APPROVAL FOR THE INSTALLATION AHEAD OF TIME IN WRITING
BY FAX, MAIL, OR E-MAIL!

2. For CONDOS: The approved location for installation of any satellite dishes is
on the ledger board for the upper level horizontal roofing of the buildings, on
the same side of the building as the garage doors are located. Absolutely no
penetration of the building shell is permitted, or you will be required to pay for
repairs to the building structure.

For STAND-ALONE HOMES: The approved location for installation of any

satellite dish is on the ledger board for the roofing of the buildings, facing the
rear yard of the structure. Dishes mounted at lower levels and/or on the front
of the home are not permitted.

For ALL units: Your satellite installer should come prepared to access the
upper roof elevation, and should come prepared to provide secure sealing of
the wire penetration. No penetration of the building shell is permitted as it will
void the warranty from the builder.

3. The equipment should be attached to the ledger board or rafter tails using a
J-Mount, so that the securing hardware for support of the item damages
neither the roofing material nor gutters, and nothing should penetrate the
building wall.

4. Cable for connection of the dish system should be run through the bird screen
ventilation holes, if applicable, located along the ledger board area under the
roofing for access to the attic spaces. Again, NO BUILDING SHELL
PENETRATION SHOULD OCCUR during or as a result of this installation.

11
 Laurel Place II Owners Association
Rules and Regulations

5. Maximum dish diameter is 36 inches.

6. If you are a condominium owner, be certain that your submittal is

accompanied by a copy of the dish providers current proof of liability
insurance (declarations page). No submittal for satellite install will be
considered without proof of insurance.

The submittal form you will need to process a request for this or any other
architectural approval item (ANY alteration visible from the common area of
the Association must be approved via this method) is attached to these
R&Rs, or is available on the Associations website, and should be filled out
and given to the Management Company to be forwarded to the Board or
Architectural Review Committee for review and approval.

unapproved modifications which are discovered to have impacted the structural
integrity of the condominium structure will be assessed the full cost of the
resulting repair as conducted by a legitimate contractor.
