Annual Meeting Held

The annual meeting was held on January 25, 2018, at the Oro Valley Public Library. A total a five lots were represented, as well as thirteen mail-in ballots. This was only a 20% turnout for this meeting. A poor showing.  

Derald Owen was re-elected to the Board. Terry McDonough was elected with write-in ballots. One board seat remains vacant.

Special thanks to Larry Farnam for his work on the Landscaping Committee and to Betty Anne Hightower for her service on the Board. 

01-25-2018 Annual Meeting Minutes – Pending Approval

Solar Panels

Many of you may have begun to see solar panels appearing atop rooftops in the neighborhood.  You might be wondering if this is permitted by the Association’s CC&Rs.  The short answer is ‘Yes’.

The Solar Access Rights Law, Passed by the Arizona Legislature in 1979, prevents HOAs from banning rooftop solar systems. Ground-based solar systems are not permitted. State law still allows HOAs the ability to influence where solar devices may be installed; as long as the placement of such devices does not significantly increase the cost of installation or significantly decrease the device’s efficiency.

Homeowners are still required to submit a Property Improvement Request (PIR) Form BEFORE any work is performed. PIRs and Board approval are required for most external modifications to your home.  Consult the ARC Page for more details
