At the July 23, 2025 RCHOA Board Meeting, the board approved several changes to the Design Guidelines and the Fines Policy.
Two amending addendums were made to the Design Guidelines documents. One amendment relates to dead trees on homeowner lots, and the other relates to granite replacement being done on homeowner lots. Both documents have some helpful information for homeowners who might be contemplating removing diseased or faltering trees, or adding granite to yards where the granite has thinned out. These documents also have some guidelines for violations when the management company tours the community.
The Fine Policy was updated and renamed “Fine Policy and Appeal Process”, to clarify that some of the information in the document is helpful to homeowners who wish to appeal fines and violation notices. Two additional sections were added to cover alternate fine amounts relating to the two Design Guidelines document addendums.
These new documents are available at the official association web site at https://www.RioCrossing.org. Go to the Document Center menu and select the Governing /Legal Documents section for the Design Guidelines updates, and the Document Center’s All Documents link then scroll down to Policies for the updated Fines and Appeals document.
