community agreements

    Prior to move-in, we consensed on agreements or policies to clarify the CC&R’s.

• consensus decision making

    We have agreed to make community and budget decisions using consensus (see

    Governance).

• HOA DuES (homeowner association)

   Each household pays monthly homeowner association dues to support building and grounds
    maintenance, common area utilities, community events and celebrations, community

    equipment, and other community projects.

• Community  meals  plan

   Outlines agreements for community meals including cooking, cleaning, and payment

    responsibilities, teamwork, evaluation, and food served.

• resale  agreement

   Community members are offered first choice when a member decides to sell their unit.  We

    work with the seller to help insure that a new owner will be an active member in cohousing.

• pet  policy

   As we live in a relatively small space, we encourage no more than 1 pet per household,

   unless a request is approved by the Pet Committee.  Dogs must be on leashes when outside,

   and indoor cats are preferred.

• NOISE  GUIDELINES

   Quiet hours are between 10pm to 8am.

• smoking policy

   Common areas are non-smoking except for a designated outdoor area.  Owners determine

    smoking policy for their own units.

• guest room policy

   A sign-up sheet allows members to share use and clean-up of the Guest Room for visiting

    friends and family.

• laundry room policy

   Establishes guidelines for use of the community laundry room including costs and

    maintenance.
