light operating, during nighttime hours.
Call the Association office at (210) 829-7202 or 311 if you notice a
street light does not work.
It is recommended
that house numbers be located as close to possible to the front entry and
illuminated so that the numbers can be easily read from the street at night and
to aid in locating the home during emergencies.
The Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCCR) prohibits all contractor and
supplier signs in yards and vacant lots except those approved by the ACC. Tell your contractor or supplier installing
any improvement that temporary or permanent signs of any kind are prohibited. For Lease and For Rent signs are prohibited.
For sale signs are limited to one, not larger than nine (9) square feet. Yard sale signs are not allowed in either the
homeowners yard nor in the common areas.
Cars, trucks,
boats, camping unit, trailers, vans, motor homes, etc. should not be parked on
the street for more than 24 consecutive hours. It is desirable to not have any
vehicles parked in the streets overnight as they impede emergency vehicles,
security patrol cars, garbage trucks and similar services.
Boats, boat trailers,
trailers, recreational vehicles, motor homes, inoperable vehicles, and any
vehicle with commercial advertising signs, or insignia, cannot be parked or
stored in the streets, in front yards or driveways. Refer to the deeded DCCR for a listing of
prohibited vehicles. Parking of
contractor’s trucks, machinery and equipment, if stored for long periods during
or after a work project is prohibited.
If you park on the
street, all vehicles should be facing the direction of traffic. We have police patrols canvasing the
neighborhood and those vehicles facing the wrong direction will be ticketed.
Speed
Limits and Traffic Signs:
The speed limit on
all streets is set by the City of San Antonio.
Please be careful of children in the streets. We must observe the traffic rules. Please help by asking all members of your
family to comply with the speed limits and the STOP signs. Tell any contractor or employee working for
you to observe the traffic rules and that continued violators will be denied
entrance to the development.
Basketball
Backboards, Poles or Other Similar Sporting Equipment:
Either of a
temporary or permanent nature, the adopted standards are they shall not be
placed within ten feet (10′) from the front property line of any Lot or the
side lot lines of corner lots without written consent of the ACC.
All household pets,
except when they are confined within the boundaries of a private single-family
residence, shall be restrained or controlled by a leash, rope or similar
restraint or a basket, cage or other container.
Please do not let your pets run loose. No one wants their landscape damaged nor
wants to clean up after someone else’s pet.
We
hope that the above highlights help provide some insight and general
information regarding the Shavano Ridge subdivision.
