MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

 Fellow Homeowners,

Preserving and enhancing Mendocino’s home values is a joint effort of the HOA and every homeowner. The HOA has always done its best, within the available resources and the CC&Rs’ mandate, to obtain the best landscaping services, maintain the roads, paint the curbs, poles and fences, sponsor block parties, uphold architectural standards for outside home repairs and repainting, and promulgate and enforce community rules and regulations while promoting a neighborly spirit. 

Homeowners have done their part by repainting their homes, converting their driveways to hardscape, and complying with community Rules and Regulations.

Every now and then there comes a time when we all need to come together for a major community facelift. It’s time for Mendocino to upgrade its fences. There are 71 homes in Mendocino. 20 have upgraded their fences to vinyl, another 11 have opted for other materials, such as concrete or redwood, while 40 homes still have the original wooden fences. These fences are over 20 years old – past the end of their useful life, many are barely held up by rotted rickety poles, are missing parts, have termite and dry rot damage and gates that can barely open and close. The HOA can no longer justify spending money to paint such fences, as it is required to do, until the homeowners do their part by replacing them.

Let us keep Mendocino one of the most beautiful and desirable places to live in Encinitas by upgrading our old rickety fences for a new and refreshed look.  

Please contact Mills Management Services for details.
