Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Form: The ARC for is available at www.SaddlewoodJax.com. You do not need a username and password to access the form; the form is available on the front page of the website. It is important to remember that any modifications to your property must be submitted to the Architectural Review Committee for approval prior to work being done. Just because your neighbor had work completed that you would like to duplicate does not mean you are exempt from submitting an ARC form.
Violation Process: We continue to receive questions related to the compliance process and how long it takes to send violations over to the attorney. Below is an example of how the process works. Once a violation is submitted to Banning and confirmed as such, a letter is sent out. Yes, a physical letter is required by the Code. It’s the law. Usually, a letter is all it takes to rectify a situation. We really do understand that things sometimes happen and life can get in the way and we quickly get behind. No big deal. But when residents ignore repeated requests, it gets difficult and expensive and a long, arduous and expensive process kicks off.
These costs are shared by all homeowners through the annual dues.
So, we are asking, please open your paper mail. Please open your emails. Please check in on the www.SaddlewoodJax.com website and read our governing documents. Ask questions if you aren’t sure of the rules. Please take care of your house and your yard. Let us work together to resolve these minor issues before they become big issues. This includes everyone – renters as well as homeowners.
Please feel free to reach out to the Board and the Banning Management Team. We are always ready and willing to assist you with issues or questions you may have.
On a side note: We never single anyone out with violation letters. If you got one and your neighbor didn’t, then we may not have seen their violation or the violation didn’t occur during the drive through. Banning drives through regularly and we are all volunteers on the board, and we do the best we can. If you would like to let us know of a violation, please email Banning Management so they can review. Thank you to everyone following HOA bylaws. We personally love living in such a nice neighborhood!
