ARROWHEAD WOODS ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE

ALL REAL ESTATE OWNER EXPECT TO ENJOY THEIR PROPERTY, BUT THOSE IN THE MOUNTAIN WOODS HAVE SPECIAL ANTICIPATION OF PRIVACY, QUIET AND FREEDOM.

SOME OWNERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LOCATION.  INFREQUENT VISITORS FAIL TO CLEAR YARDS OF PINE NEEDLES, LEAVES, FALLEN LIMBS AND OTHER DEBRIS.  SOME FIND MORE OBJECTIONABLE USES, SUCH AS STORING RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, CAMPING OR TRAVEL TRAILERS, BOATS OR MOTOR VEHICLES.

EVEN IN MOUNTAIN AREAS, OWNERS ARE OBLIGATED TO KEEP THEIR PROPERTY IN A WAY THAT IS NOT OFFENSIVE TO OTHERS.  THE RESPONSIBILITY HAS GROWN AS ONCE REMOTE AREAS HAVE BECOME MORE URBANIZED.

COUNTY ZONING REGULATIONS SPELL OUT THE USES ALLOWED ON PROPERTY IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.  OTHER LIMITS ON USES OF THE PROPERTY ARE FOUND IN STATE AND FEDERAL LAW.  A COMPLEX OF AGENCIES IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING THESE REGULATIONS.

THE COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS (SS&R'S) THAT ARE PART OF THE TITLE TO ALL REAL ESTATE IN ARROWHEAD WOODS LIMIT THE USES OF THESE PROPERTIES MOST SPECIFICALLY WITH THE INTENT OF MAINTAINING THE CHARACTER OF THE WOODS.

THE ARROWHEAD WOODS ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE ENFORCES THOSE CC&R'S. ITS WORK RANGES FROM REVIEW OF BUILDING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TO CONTROL OF TREE TRIMMING OR REMOVAL.

COUNTY ORDINANCE 3586 SAYS, "...EVERY OWNER, OCCUPANT AND PERSON IN CONTROL OF ANY LAND IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO MUST ABATE ALL FIRE HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS TREES FROM SUCH LAND AND FROM ALL SIDEWALKS, PARKWAYS AND EASEMENTS....."

THE "MOUNTAIN AREA" REGULATED BY THE ORDINANCE INCLUDES UNINCORPORATED AREAS WITHIN SAN BERNARDINO NATIONAL FOREST, BUT NOT NATIONAL FOREST LAND.  SPECIAL ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, MOBILE HOME PARKS, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS AT THE EDGE OF THE FOREST AND OTHER PROPERTIES CONSIDERED ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO FIRE.
