To preserve the appearance, safety, and property values in our neighborhood, the Brooksedge East Homeowners Association enforces the following policy on vehicles with flat tires or signs of inoperability:

HOA Policy (Per Declaration Section 8.6) :

Under Section 8.6 of the Brooksedge East Declaration of Covenants, no junk, inoperable, or unlicensed vehicles may be kept or permitted on any lot or street right-of-way for more than forty-eight (48) hours. This includes vehicles with:

• Flat tires

• Missing or damaged parts

• Expired license plates

• Broken windows

• Other visible signs of being inoperable

If a flat tire is not repaired or replaced within 48 hours, the vehicle is in violation of the HOA’s governing documents. The homeowner may be issued a notice and may be subject to fines if the matter remains unresolved.

What Does “Inoperable” Mean?

Any vehicle that cannot be legally or safely driven is considered inoperable. A flat tire qualifies as a condition that makes the vehicle inoperable.

Covering a vehicle or parking it in a driveway does not exempt it from this rule. All vehicles visible to the community must be in drivable, presentable condition.

City of Pataskala Enforcement:

In addition to HOA enforcement, the City of Pataskala Property Maintenance Code also prohibits long-term storage of inoperable vehicles, including those with flat tires. If the issue remains unresolved, the city may:

• Issue citations

• Impose fines

• Arrange for towing or removal at the owner's expense

Resident Responsibility:

It is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure all vehicles on their property or directly in front of it are operable and well-maintained. Taking quick action to address a flat tire helps keep our community clean and compliant.

To preserve the beauty, safety, and natural character of our community, Brooksedge East residents must follow these guidelines before removing or cutting trees on their property:

Policy Overview (Per Section 8.9 of the Declaration):

• Homeowners must receive written approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before removing any trees from their property.

• This rule applies to trees of any size or location on the lot.

• No cutting, trimming, or removal is allowed without this prior approval unless the tree is dead or diseased.

Exception:

• Trees that are visibly dead or diseased may be removed without ARC approval, but we recommend notifying the HOA and providing documentation such as:

  • A photo of the tree’s condition

  • A note or report from a tree specialist or arborist

How to Request Tree Removal:

1. Complete the Architectural Review Form:
   https://www.brooksedge.net/documents

2. Submit the form with a clear explanation of:

   • Which tree(s) you wish to remove

   • The reason for removal

   • Whether you plan to replace them with other landscaping

3. Allow up to 20 days for a written response from the ARC as outlined in our review process.

Failure to Comply:

Unauthorized tree removal may result in a formal violation, fines, or requirements for replanting.
