mowed as well.• Edging sidewalks, driveways and curbs; NO runners should be showing
on paved surfaces.• Weed control in grass, flowerbeds and cracks; weed eating at fences,
walls and foundations.• Grass maintenance by treating diseased areas and adding sod or reseeding
where grass has died.• Trimming hedges and bushes as needed.• Blowing or sweeping up grass clippings after maintenance and not left
on sidewalks or in the street.• Removing dead plants, shrubs and trees in a timely manner.• Regular watering without violating local voluntary or mandatory
conservation directives.YARD MAINTENANCE VIOLATION FINES
For Yard Maintenance, ONE warning that will include a forced mow warning will be sent on the 1st violation. The 2nd violation will result in a $25 fine and thereafter forced mows can be ordered at the owner’s expense.

Sonoma is a family neighborhood made up of residents of all ages. Please be considerate when parking in your driveway to not block the sidewalk. We don’t want young children, the elderly or special needs neighbors to have to enter the street to get around these cars...it is just not safe for them to have to do so! Thank you for your consideration and for asking your guests to do the same.
A Little Consideration, PLEASE!
The HOA recently added 4 more dog stations for your convenience. We are hoping that this will reduce the number of "poo" filled plastic bags that are found in beds and trees along our main sidewalks. They are located at:•TheparkonForestCreekDr.betweentheRuskRoads•ThenorthsideofForestCreekDrivejusteastofthebridge
