Dear
Homeowner,
Prior
to purchasing your home, you should have been informed of the existence of the Bentley
Manor Homeowners Association (BMHOA) and its many fine features. The Board of Directors and the Architectural
Control Committee (ACC) would like to provide you more information about the
Association's rules and regulations, outside services provided by agencies,
utilities and phone numbers for your convenience.
Homeowners
in Bentley Manor want to make it a great place to live and to ensure long term
property values. In order to maintain the
standards in our quality community, residents are required to comply with the
Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCCR's) which are
provided at time of closing. Because most violations occur as a result of
insufficient or misinformation, the following is provided to help clarify the
requirements. If you have any questions,
please call the Association Office at 829‑7202.

Manor Homeowners Association (BMHOA) is a non‑profit organization. The

your contractor or supplier installing any improvement that temporary or

Parking in Streets:
It
is preferred to not have vehicles parked in the streets, especially overnight,
as they take away from the community’s aesthetic beauty and can impede
emergency vehicles, security patrol cars, garbage trucks and similar services.
Boats,
boat trailers, trailers, recreational vehicles, motor homes, inoperable
vehicles, and any vehicle with commercial advertising signs, or insignia,
cannot be parked or stored in the streets, in front yards or driveways. Refer to the deeded DCCR’s for a listing of
prohibited vehicles. Parking of

The
speed limit on all streets is 20 MPH and please be careful of
children in the streets. We must
observe the traffic rules. Please help
by asking all members of your family to comply with the speed limits and the
STOP signs. Tell any contractor or
employee working for you to observe the traffic rules.

goals, backboards, poles or similar sporting equipment, of either a temporary
or permanent nature, shall not be placed within twenty feet (20') of the front

their own safety, all household pets except when they are confined within the
boundaries of the family residence, shall at all times, be restrained or
controlled by a leash, rope or similar restraint or a basket, cage or other

pets run loose. No one wants their pet
in harms way, landscape damaged or wants to clean up after someone else's pet.
