Please email comments to Kimberly Evans at kimberly.evans@pcminternet.com. Estate Sales – Proposed by R&R Committee (a) Scheduling. The homeowner or an authorized agent may hold one estate sale per year per residence. An estate sale is a sale or auction to dispose of a substantial portion of the personal property owned by a person or persons who are recently deceased or being moved to a permanent care facility and will not be returning to their home. The owner or agent must obtain authorization for the estate sale from the Homeowners Association (HOA) office at least three (3) days prior to the intended date of the sale. An Administrative fee of $250 and a Community Patrol fee of $40.00 per hour (both fees are subject to change) are required at the time an application is submitted. A request for alternate estate sale dates may be needed due to other scheduled estate sales or Colony events. A maximum of three (3) consecutive days, or two sets of two (2) consecutive days, within a ten (10) day period (sale days are subject to change), is allowed for the estate sale. Hours allowed for the estate sale are between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm only (estate sale hours are subject to change). Applications for an Estate Sale Authorization are available from the HOA office. (b) By Appointment Only. Due to traffic, parking, and vehicle considerations, Estate Sales are open to non-residents by appointment only. A maximum of five (5) non-resident vehicles coming for the estate sale are allowed entry every thirty (30) minutes (both the number of vehicles and the timing are subject to change). Entrance into the community can only be made through the gate located on Camino Aspirante off of Nutmeg Street (entry gates are subject to change). No entries to the estate sale will be allowed at the main gate on Jackson Street. The company/ person(s) conducting the sale shall also pay for the security guard required at the entrance gate to process all estate sale visitors and there shall be a fee (subject to change), paid in advance, for the duration that the security guard must be present. At least one day prior to the estate sale, the owner or agent for the estate sale shall provide a guest list to the HOA office of those who have been given an appointment time. A Schedule of Appointments form is available from the HOA office for use by the owner/agent in charge of the estate sale. If no estate sale guest list is provided to the HOA office, all vehicles coming for the estate sale will be turned away. Appointments for Colony residents are optional but encouraged. (c) Signage/Advertisement. Only one (1) "Estate Sale" sign is permitted at the residence of the sale. No signage is allowed in any other area of the community. The maximum sign size is six (6) square feet (example: 2'x3'). No banners, balloons, or other marketing devices, or materials that detract from the appearance of The Colony are permitted. Following approval of the estate sale by the HOA, announcement of the estate sale may be posted on the Clubhouse bulletin board. Signage size restrictions may apply. (d) Parking. The homeowner or authorized agent, or a representative of an Estate Sales Company conducting the estate sale, shall be onsite during the duration of the sale, at the location where the estate sale is taking place. Parking is only allowed in guest parking designated areas and must be consistent with all Department of Motor Vehicle laws. All guests must have their passes displayed on their dashboard and must abide by all driving and parking rules of The Colony. Parking shall not impede/ interfere with another homeowner's garage or driveway on the street where the estate sale is taking place. (e) Sale Day. The estate sale must take place inside the home and garage. No estate sale items are permitted on the front yard or driveway. The garage door may be opened for loading or unloading only. The estate sale shall be conducted in such a manner to keep noise to a minimum so as to not disturb neighbors. The owner/ agent operating the estate sale shall be held liable for any damage to property that the Association maintains resulting from the estate sale and its vendors and/or customers. (f ) Licensing/Bonding Requirements. The estate sale company that is operating the estate sale must provide proof to the HOA Management Company of their valid business license and proof they are insured and/or bonded. This documentation must be submitted to the HOA at the time the Application for an Estate Sale Authorization is submitted. (g) Both the owner and the estate sale company must execute this agreement acknowledging compliance with the rule. Updated Rules and Regulations
