Please have patience. By mid December the Committee had already received 163 permit applications. Please have patience with the Committee as they are all volunteers and spend numerous hours every week undertaking consultations, performing site visits, reviewing permit applications, and finalizing prior completed permits. I would also note, that if you are doing any work that requires a Cathedral City Permit, patience will be needed there as well. The City is taking longer than usual to approve their permits, so consequently lot remodels, and other improvements are going to take longer to complete. If in doubt, ask. We all live in this HOA we know and love called ORPS. And with every HOA there are rules for what you can and cannot do on your property. If you are considering making any modifications to your Lot and are uncertain as to whether they require a permit application, please request a consultation with the A & A Committee. Consultation requests can be made through Julia Miramontes, our Compliance Officer, at compliance@orps.com or by calling (760) 328 - 3834, and selecting 3. Lights, Lights, Lights. Driving around the resort at night you will see a growing number of lots with lights wrapped all the way up to the top of the Washingtonian palm at the front of the lot. Currently there are no rules regarding these lights. If you want it to stay that way, please be respectful of your neighbors and keep the lights unobtrusive - not too bright and stay away from flashing or blinking lights, or alternating colors. Permits Required. I will continue to remind owners that Permits are required for all Lot improvements and repairs including, without limitation, the construction, installation, alteration, removal, or remodeling of any walls, privacy screens, fences, landscaping, golf ball screens/netting, antennas, utility lines structures, installations, and improvements of any kind. For repairs to lot lights, fifth wheel enclosures and stairs, and for the removal of landscaping materials and hedges, a No Fee Permit will be issued. For all other improvements, you must submit a Permit Application and pay a $25 fee. NO WORK CAN START PRIOR TO A & A COMMITTEE APPROVAL OF YOUR PERMIT APPLICATION . If unpermitted work is done, Owners could be subject to fines and possibly removal of this unpermitted work. Approved Permits must be posted on your Washingtonian palm tree at the front of your Lot until the work has received a final inspection. Odds and Ends ... All Lots and RVs for sale within the Resort must undergo an inspection prior to sale...if you change your contractor/vendor while work is being done on your lot a change order with the new contractor/vendor is required...During your project, if irrigation lines need to be removed or moved please contact Vintage to have this work done. And if you want to stain or paint your patio, an approved permit is required prior to doing the work.
