In accordance with the MPOA CC&Rs, members must interact with, and receive permission from the Board in the following circumstances:
• When an owner desires to construct any structure on their lot. In this case, a location plan and construction plans must be submitted to the Board (or an Architectural Control Committee if one is in place) for approval before breaking ground
• Removal/major trimming of trees in excess of 12 inches in diameter. Other considerations may include the health of the tree, threat to individuals or property, proximity to houses (per our Firewise policy), density of trees in area, neighbor or neighborhood impact. For those homes along the shoreline, MPOA approval does not supersede the requirement of the FWHCA section of the Critical Area Regulations (SJCCD 18.35.130.B.1) and be in compliance with shoreline regulations of SJCC 18.50.330.B.8 and D2 Residential Tree Removal.
• Landscaping. Plans and specifications must be submitted to, and approved by the Board before any landscaping work may commence. This includes the installation of fences, hedges, or boundary walls with a height of greater than 5 feet and/or unreasonablyimpairs the view of any other lot.
