Q: Do I have to take care of the easements around my Lot?

A: The easements and drainage around our lots are our responsibility to maintain not only as a member of the HOA, but in likewise as a homeowner within Snohomish County. The following is part of the reference in our CC&R’s. Refer to Section 6.2 for further explanation:

Section 6.2: Standard of Maintenance -Lots and Planting Strips. Each Lot Owner hereby covenants and agrees to maintain his respective Lot (including as a part of said Lot the Planting Strip located between the street and the sidewalk adjacent to the Owners respective Lot, if any), and the Housing Unit located thereon, in the same condition as a reasonably prudent homeowner would maintain his own home so that the Real Property will reflect a high pride of ownership. Each Lot Owner shall perform the maintenance and upkeep on any drainage swales and/or under- ground drain lines and catch basins installed by the” Developer on their Lot which are servicing the-yard drainage needs on more than one Lot.
