It is the obligation of the Board of Directors to ensure that each Homeowner in our Community is adhering to the Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements (CRE’s) set forth in our Documents. We have been working with the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) to record violations within the Community and send notices to those in violation. We have seen many improvements, and will continue to take whatever action is necessary to be sure that violations are corrected. A full copy of the Documents is availabule under the Forms/Docs tab.
In talking with our neighbors, we find some confusion or questions on restrictions in the Documents, so we have answered some of the more frequently asked questions in the following Q&A format.

Submit a completed ARC Change Request form and allow ample time for the board to meet and vote on the request. Can I widen my driveway? It is the Board's opinion that the six parking spaces available to each home (using the garage and driveway space) is sufficient for a single family home. Maintaining the required slopes and easements around driveways and between homes becomes problematic for most homes in Caloosa Trace. Where can I park my car, boat or RV? No vehicles of any kind may be parked between the paved road and the residence or in the front or side yard of any lot.
