Homeowner Comment: Change $100/year to $1,000/year.
Suggested Revision: Change $100/year to $1,000/year.
Reason/Explanation: This is a good opportunity to put some teeth in the liens. An additional assessment of $100/year isn't going to move the needle for people with a $500K+ home. I recommend $1,000/year.

Line Number:
Homeowner Comment: With a maximum 10% increase cap per year
Suggested Revision: With a maximum 10% increase cap per year
Reason/Explanation: This is how it was written and more clearly defines a reasonable increase for yearly dues than WA state’s expectation that HOA dues can’t increase “unreasonably” from year to year.

Homeowner Comment:
Tree Maintenance and View Preservation Covenant
1. Purpose
To maintain neighborhood appearance, property values, and reasonable view protection.
2. Tree and Vegetation Care
Owners must keep all trees and vegetation on their property healthy, trimmed, and safe. Dead, diseased, or overgrown trees must be removed or maintained at the Owner’s expense.
3. View Obstruction
No Owner may plant or allow any tree or vegetation to grow in a way that unreasonably blocks another Owner’s established view. “Unreasonable” means more than minor or natural obstruction, as determined by the HOA Board.
4. New Plantings
Owners must obtain HOA approval before planting any tree expected to exceed fifteen (15) feet in height at maturity. The HOA may deny approval if the tree would likely block a neighbor’s view.
5. Enforcement
If a violation occurs, the HOA may require trimming or removal. If the Owner fails to comply, the HOA may perform the work and assess costs to the Owner.

Reason/Explanation: Most HOAs include a view-obstruction clause, especially in subdivisions with high-dollar premium view lots. Please consider this example clause.
