Meadow Ridge of Orange County Homeowners Association, Inc.
This packet contains a summary of practical, need-to-know items about owning a home in Meadow Ridge, and about your Homeowners Association (HOA).
Who’s in charge? Meadow Ridge home owners control the homeowners association. We elect members of the HOA to the Board of Directors for two-year terms. The Directors make the business decisions for the HOA. To contact the Directors, send an email message to them at [email protected]. You are welcome to attend meetings of the Board of Directors.
Who manages the property? The HOA Directors retain Access Residential Management to implement their decisions, coordinate the work of vendors, handle the finances and administer the programs, policies and activities of the HOA. When you need to contact management, you can reach them at:
Access Residential Management 215 Celebration Place, Suite 115 Celebration, Florida 34747 Phone: 407/480-4200 ● Fax: 407/480-4203 Email: [email protected]
Website One of your best resources is the HOA’s website. Operated and maintained by Access Residential Management, it provides easy access to the HOA’s governing documents, forms, financial information, minutes of Director meetings, and more.
Be certain to register for the website. Go to meadowridge.accessdifference.com (do not include ‘http://WWW’). Request a login and complete the registration. When your request is approved, a temporary password will be sent to you. Log in with that password, then change your password.

How do I get a private entry code for the vehicle gates? Send your request as an email message to [email protected]. This is also what you do to purchase an additional remote control for the vehicle gates, and to have your phone number added to the entry system so visitors may call you from the callbox at either entry, and you can open the vehicle gates from your phone.
When do I put out trash for pickup? Household trash and garbage (green cart) should be placed at the curb on Monday evening and on Thursday evening, for collection on Tuesday and on Friday.
Yard waste should be placed at the curb on Monday evening for Tuesday collection.
Recyclables (blue cart) are placed at the curb every other Tuesday evening, for collection the next day (every other Wednesday).
At all other times, carts and containers for trash, and bags/piles of lawn waste and tree prunings, must be stored out of view (not on the driveway, curb, or beside your house). If you use a commercial service for mowing and trimming, please have them remove all cuttings and debris.
Can I re-paint the house and change the landscaping? All exterior changes require prior approval from the HOA’s Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC is composed of Meadow Ridge homeowners who are appointed by the Board of Directors. They meet once each month to review requests for painting, landscaping, pools, fences, and all other types of exterior changes.
The ARC can approve a request only if the change complies with the governing documents and policies of the HOA… mostly Article XI and Article XII of the Declaration of Covenants and Deed Restrictions, the Guidelines for exterior changes, and requirements established by the Board of Directors.
Included in this packet are copies of the ARC request form, the Guidelines for exterior changes, and the requirements for painting the exteriors of homes, for your reference and use. Please review those documents whenever you contemplate making exterior changes.
What about parking my boat and vehicles? Boats, trailers, commercial vehicles, and vehicles that are inoperable or covered by tarps may be placed inside your garage with the door closed. Otherwise they may not be kept in Meadow Ridge.
No vehicle may be parked on Meadow Ridge streets between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Parking at the clubhouse is reserved for Meadow Ridge residents and their accompanied guests who are concurrently using the clubhouse, pool, tot lot, gazebo or adjacent areas.
Parking is not allowed on lawns, medians or common area turf.
Vehicles may not obstruct sidewalks.
Any vehicle not in compliance with these requirements may be towed at its owner’s expense.
3
What other rules are there? Fishing, swimming and boating in the retention ponds are prohibited. You can find most of the other requirements in Article XII (“Use Restrictions”) of the HOA’s Declaration of Covenants and Deed Restrictions. The Declaration is on the HOA’s website, under the “Resources” tab, titled “Governing Documents.” There are other requirements, as well. In this packet you will see: procedures for when the HOA requires a home to be painted; restrictions about parking at the clubhouse parking area; regulations about dumpsters and storage pods; and the form to use when renting the community room at the clubhouse for private events.
Who do I call about a complaint? Just send an email message to management at [email protected], and/or to the HOA Directors at [email protected].
There’s more Access Residential Management is also including information with this packet about topics that often bring HOA members into contact with management personnel. Please review that information before contacting management.
Thanks! Thank you for making us your new neighbors. Enjoy the pleasures of owning a Meadow Ridge home.
P.S. Be certain that Access Residential Management has your correct email address. It will allow you to receive periodic reports from the HOA Board of Directors about decisions made and actions taken. It will also allow you to receive time-sensitive bulletins about issues affecting Meadow Ridge.

Guidelines for All Exterior Changes, Fences, Landscaping, Play
Equipment and Other Items on Homeowners’ Lots in Meadow Ridge
The Board of Directors has adopted the following Guidelines for the community: All exterior changes to a homeowner’s property must be submitted to, and approved by, the Architectural
Review Committee (ARC) before any work on any exterior change may begin. Submittal to the ARC must
be made on the ARC Request Form and include all information, forms, examples of materials and textures,
drawings, photographs, plans, documents, description of materials, and physical samples of paint colors to
be used. The ARC may approve a requested change only if the ARC determines the change complies with
the requirements of the Association’s Declaration and other applicable governing documents, including
these Guidelines. Any exterior change made without approval by the ARC must be promptly altered at the
homeowner’s expense as directed by the ARC or approved by the ARC to comply with the requirements.
The homeowner is responsible for obtaining any and all building permits required for the requested change.
It is the responsibility of each homeowner to maintain structures, fences, lawns and landscaping in a clean,
nuisance-free, and aesthetically pleasing condition consistent with the neighborhood. The ARC Request
Form may be downloaded from the Association’s website.
Exterior Mechanical Devices and Equipment Approved equipment for pools (such as pumps, filters, chlorinators, and salinators), heat pumps and
propane tanks must be surrounded by mature shrubs that will --at the time of installation and thereafter--
conceal the equipment from view.
Fences Only black powder coated aluminum fences 4 feet in height that meet the requirements specified in the
Declaration may be approved by the ARC. Fences must attach to both sidewalls of a house not more than
midway towards the front of the house, extend to the side lot lines, extend to the back lot line, and connect
either along the back lot line or to an existing back yard brick wall, so the entire back yard is enclosed. In
reviewing an application, the ARC may determine if an exception should be made for aesthetic reasons.
Fencing smaller areas and fencing front yards is not permitted. A fence may have up to two gates, each
facing the front of the lot, one on either side of the house.
Landscaping Original landscaping must be retained. Adding, removing, replacing or augmenting the existing
landscaping requires prior approval by the ARC. The ARC shall approve an alteration to landscaping only
if the ARC determines it is aesthetically compatible and consistent with landscaping originally installed by
Pulte Homes, Inc. throughout the community. Landscaping must be maintained in a condition which reasonably reflects the condition of the landscaping
upon its installation (growth of trees and reasonable growth of plants excluded). This includes, but is not
limited to, mowing of the entire yard, trimming of hedges, plants and bushes, weeding of lawns and flower
beds, edging around streets, sidewalks, driveways and flower beds, and trimming grass around the home,
mailbox and other fixtures. In the event a homeowner fails to maintain landscaping (or any portion of
landscaping) in compliance with these maintenance requirements (as determined by the Board of
Directors), the Board of Directors may cause the Association’s landscaping company to bring the
landscaping into compliance with this section and, if it does so, the expenses associated with doing so shall
be billed to the homeowner. In the event a homeowner is billed for landscaping services, the homeowner
(Continued…)
(Guidelines for exterior changes, continued…)
shall reimburse the association for the cost of the services within thirty (30) days after delivery of the
invoice to the homeowner. For purposes of the prior sentence, the term “delivery” shall include delivery by
hand or by U.S. Mail, and delivery shall be deemed made as of the date that the invoice is placed in the
mail or hand delivered to property. Trees must be allowed to grow into their natural shapes and not be trimmed or pruned into unnatural
shapes. Low branches of trees must be pruned to allow unobstructed passage by pedestrians and vehicles.
Adding trees between the sidewalk and the street will not be approved by the ARC; other plantings between
the sidewalk and the street may be approved by the ARC only if the ARC determines it is aesthetically
compatible and consistent with existing landscaping throughout the community. Citrus trees may be
approved by the ARC only for installation in back yards. Removing a tree requires prior approval by the
ARC and by the City of Ocoee. Curbing, borders, pavers or other similar materials may be approved by the ARC to line landscaping beds
only if the ARC determines it is aesthetically pleasing and compatible with house’s color and landscaping
materials. Landscaping beds must not be bare soil; they must be covered by bark chips, mulch or other
material approved by the ARC. Only natural colored bark chips or wood mulch, or red-colored wood
mulch, will be approved. Replacement of mulch with rocks, stones, pebbles and other natural materials may
be approved by the ARC only if the ARC determines the color is in earth tones (beige, buff, tan or brown)
and the appearance is compatible and consistent with natural landscaping materials throughout the
community. Manufactured mulch/ground-cover made from material such as tires, rubber, fiberglass, plastic
or vinyl, will not be approved. Play Equipment: Play equipment --including swing sets, play sets, playhouses, basketball hoops and backboards,
trampolines, pools, or play apparatus (whether wood, plastic, metal, or fabric)-- may be approved by the
ARC for installation only in a fenced back yard. Any such equipment may not be attached, affixed or
installed on a roof, house, garage, tree, fence, wall or other structure. Treehouses are not permitted. Play equipment not approved by the ARC for installation in a fenced back yard may be used, but must not
be kept or stored on the driveway, sidewalk, front yard or side yards, and may not remain beside or leaning
against a tree, house, garage, fence, wall or other structure. When not in use, all such items must be moved
to and kept in an enclosed area and concealed from view.
Satellite Dishes/Antennae Installation of a satellite dish receiver and/or any antennae requires prior approval by the ARC. Installation,
maintenance, and use of satellite dish receiver and/or any antennae shall be governed by the then current
rules of the Federal Communications Commission.
Screened Patios/Enclosures: Only bronze-colored aluminum may be used for structural elements of a screen enclosure of any type, and
screen material must be charcoal color. All requests for screening/enclosing must be submitted to and
approved by the ARC prior to any construction work. The request must be accompanied by detailed plans
and drawings and a copy of the lot survey, specifying the location, size, shape, height, dimensions,
materials including floor materials, color, roof style and placement of doors. Photographic examples and
samples of materials may be requested by the ARC. Front porches may not be screened in or enclosed.
All enclosures and patios (whether screened or not) may contain patio furniture, barbeque grills, plants and
similar items, but may not be used for storage of items not intended for patio use including but not limited
to cartons, boxes, crates, indoor household items, building materials, or automotive parts and equipment.
(Continued…)
(Guidelines for exterior changes, continued…)
Signs “For Sale” signs, “For Rent” signs, and signs and advertisements about businesses may not be displayed on
or within any lot or home or vehicles kept in Meadow Ridge.
Storage Sheds/Outbuildings No temporary or permanent utility or storage shed, storage building or similar structure or improvement
shall be permitted. Swimming Pools No above-ground pools shall be approved for installation. Application for ARC approval of swimming pool
installation must include: a) written approval from neighbors on either side if access is required to reach the
back yard; and, b) a plan for repair and restoration for any damage to landscaping, grass, irrigation,
sidewalks, curbs, structures or underground lines. Common areas may not be used for access purposes; any
damages as a result of equipment crossing common areas will be the responsibility of the homeowner, and
charges for repairs may be charged to the homeowner’s account. All pools shall be adequately maintained
and chlorinated or cleaned with similar treatment.
Miscellaneous: Tables, chairs, benches and seats may not be placed in the front yard or side yards. They may be approved
by the ARC for placement in the back yard or on front porches covered by the house’s structural roof only
if the ARC determines they are aesthetically pleasing. Plastic or vinyl tables, chairs, benches and seats may
not be placed on the front porch. Tile may not be installed on driveways, front walkways or sidewalks. Tile may be approved by the ARC
for placement on the floor of back patios, and on the floor of front porches covered by the house’s
structural roof, only if the ARC determines it is aesthetically pleasing and compatible with the house’s
color and landscaping materials. Fountains, sculpture, statues, weather vanes, flag poles, artwork, large rocks, pots, planters or other
decorative items may be approved by the ARC for placement in the front yard or landscaping only if the
ARC determines it is aesthetically pleasing and compatible with house’s color and landscaping materials. One birdbath with a bowl not more than 36 inches in diameter, one bird feeder, and one bird house with a
volume not larger than two cubic feet, may be approved by the ARC for placement in the back yard only if
the ARC determines it is aesthetically pleasing and compatible with the house’s color and landscaping
materials. Exterior lighting to illuminate the house and walkway at night may be approved by the ARC only if the
ARC determines it is aesthetically pleasing, compatible with house’s color and landscaping materials, and
is not obtrusive or a nuisance to neighbors or drivers of vehicles. Additional Requirements: All requirements and restrictions are contained in the Declaration of the Meadow Ridge of Orange County
Homeowners Association, Inc., many of them in Articles XI and XII. They include architecture,
vehicles/parking, trash collection, garages, animals, commercial activity, and more. The Declaration may
be found on the Association’s website. These Guidelines were approved by the Board of Directors of the Meadow Ridge of Orange County
Homeowners Association, Inc. on June 5, 2014 to replace all previous versions of similar guidelines and to
become effective seven days after a copy of these Guidelines are sent by first class mail to the owner of

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESOLVES that the following Requirements shall apply
to all painting of the exteriors of Homes in Meadow Ridge, and that a homeowner’s compliance is
required for a painting request to be approved by the ARC.
1) Exterior painting of any Home in Meadow Ridge must use colors and color combinations similar to
those used initially by the Developer on newly-constructed Homes throughout Meadow Ridge.
2) Painting shall use a color scheme/palette consisting of hues commonly referred to as ‘earth tones.’ By
way of example, and not of limitation, specifically excluded from approval are bright or intense
colors, black or other dark colors, purple, violet, blue, orange, red, pink, and olive drab.
3) Paint and any transparent seal coating that may be applied may not be textured, and may not be gloss
or semi-gloss. Painting shall not include shapes, graphics, images, designs, stripes, patterns,
numerals, letters or other visual representations.
4) Each Home shall be painted with not fewer than four colors and not more than five colors, all of
which must be harmonious and compatible with the other colors used.
5) Areas that may each be painted in one of the four or five colors are: main walls, banding, other trim,
garage doors, shutters, and front door. White paint shall be used on roof-edge fascia boards, in

not alternate by type of area, e.g., all walls must be painted the same color, all banding must be
painted the same color, both garage doors must be painted the same color, and so forth.
6) Any Home in Meadow Ridge with any exterior paint which does not comply with these
Requirements on October 8, 2018, must be brought into full compliance on the first occasion when
all or any portion of the Home’s exterior is repainted. ARC approval of such repainting must be
obtained before the painting is performed.
7) Painting of a Home’s exterior which is performed without ARC approval and/or does not comply
with these Requirements is subject to mandatory and prompt re-painting that does comply with these
Requirements, at the homeowner’s expense, upon notice to the homeowner from the HOA’s ARC or
the Board of Directors.
This Resolution and the Requirements it establishes were approved by the Board of Directors of the

Procedures for determining when a house
in Meadow Ridge needs to be repainted The Board of Directors has adopted the following procedures for implementation of Article XII, Section 24
of the Declaration of Covenants and Deed Restrictions: Any member of the Meadow Ridge of Orange County Homeowners Association, Inc. (HOA) may bring to the
attention of the HOA’s property management company (PMC) or to the attention of a HOA Director that a Home in
Meadow Ridge appears to need exterior re-painting due to paint that is worn, flaking, pealing, stained, discolored or
faded. In each such instance the address of the Home may be referred to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC)
by the PMC or by the HOA Director. Upon receiving such a referral, the ARC shall observe the exterior of the Home at the subject address, and such
observation must be made by at least a quorum of the ARC during a period of time not to exceed ten days. At its
next meeting, the ARC members shall discuss their observations, and decide whether re-painting is necessary.
Any decision that all or part of the Home’s exterior should be re-painted must be made as a motion, seconded, and
approved by a vote of not less than a majority of the full ARC. When such a motion is so approved, the ARC shall notify the HOA Board of Directors and the PMC that written
notice should be sent to the homeowner(s) via First Class Mail, specifying that all or part of the Home’s exterior
must be re-painted within 60 calendar days. The notice shall specify the reason for the request to re-paint. The notice
shall also inform the homeowner(s) that re-painting cannot commence until after the homeowner(s) submit a
completed Architectural Review Application form to the ARC with paint-on-paper physical samples of each color
to be used, and subsequently receive ARC approval of the colors. A copy of the Architectural Review Application
form shall be included with the notice. If the subject Home is not re-painted within 60 days of the notice from the ARC, the HOA Board of Directors, during
a scheduled meeting, shall determine whether to have such re-painting performed by a vendor of the Directors’ choosing.
The Board of Directors shall send a notice to the homeowner(s) that such a determination will be made at the meeting,
and shall offer the homeowner(s) an opportunity to be heard at that meeting. The notice shall also state that the HOA
Directors may assess all costs of such re-painting as an Individual Assessment to the homeowner(s). The notice shall be
sent to the homeowner(s) by First Class Mail at least 15 days prior to the date of the meeting, After the homeowner(s) have an opportunity to be heard at the meeting, the HOA Board of Directors shall determine
whether to initiate re-painting of the house by a vendor of the Directors’ choice. Any decision that all or part of the
Home’s exterior should be re-painted must be made as a motion, seconded, and approved by a vote of not less than a
majority of the full Board of Directors, and shall specify the extent of the painting and whether to assess all costs of
such re-painting as an Individual Assessment to the homeowner(s). Any re-painting initiated by the Board of Directors shall use exterior paint in colors that closely approximate approved
colors previously used on the Home’s exterior, and such colors shall be deemed approved for the Home’s exterior by the
HOA and its ARC. Such re-painting shall include cleaning the surfaces to be painted and caulking cracks and joints. The
homeowner(s) shall be given at least 5 days’ notice of when the re-painting is scheduled to be performed, and shall be
informed they must allow the work to be performed by the vendor selected by the Directors. These Procedures were approved by the Board of Directors of the Meadow Ridge of Orange County Homeowners
Association, Inc. on February 28, 2018, to become effective ten days after a copy of these Guidelines are sent by
First Class Mail to the owner(s) of each Home in the Meadow Ridge of Orange County Homeowners Association, Inc.

MEADOW RIDGE OF ORANGE COUNTY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.
RESOLUTION The Board of Directors of the Meadow Ridge of Orange County Homeowners Association, Inc. has
adopted the following Rules and Regulations Governing the Placement and Use of Portable On-Demand
Storage Units (Pods”) and Construction Dumpsters (“Dumpsters”) within Meadow Ridge:
The Board resolves that the following rules and regulations shall apply to the placement and use of Pods and Dumpsters within Meadow Ridge:
1. Procedures: Meadow Ridge’s property management company (the “Manager”) and/or a designated
representative of the Board must be advised before any placement and use of a Pod or Dumpster within Meadow
Ridge is allowed. An application for such placement and use, the form of which shall have been promulgated by the
Board and made available via the Manager’s website for the neighborhood, must first be completed and submitted to
the Manager. Such application must include the Meadow Ridge property owner’s name, address and current contact
information, a brief description of the type of Pod or Dumpster to be used and its proposed location on the applicant’s
property (see Section 2 below) and an estimate of the duration of its use at such location (see Section 3 below).
NOTE: Only one (1) Pod or Dumpster may be used at each property within Meadow Ridge at any given time and any
Dumpster to be used must not be less than five feet (5’) tall and steel-sided – no soft-sided containers or wooden crates
shall be permitted. Such application must also include (a) an acknowledgment by the applicant that a $25.00 per day
extended use fee will be due and payable to the Association for each day that the Pod or Dumpster remains within
Meadow Ridge beyond the maximum permitted Pod or Dumpster usage time limit (see Section 3 below – unless the
Manager and/or a designated representative of the Board has been advised of extenuating circumstances necessitating
an approved extension of the applicable maximum usage time limit) and (b) an agreement by the applicant to
indemnify the Association from and against any claims of injury or damage to property resulting from the placement,
use and/or removal of such Pod or Dumpster, including an agreement to promptly repair (at the applicant’s expense)
any Association or others’ property damaged thereby (failing which the Board will be authorized to conduct such
repairs and bill the applicant therefor). Any Pod or Dumpster found within Meadow Ridge that was not the subject of
such an application (or for which the applicable maximum permitted usage time limit has been materially exceeded)
will be subject to removal therefrom by or on behalf of the Board, at the expense of the owner of the property upon
which it was placed (or, if applicable, the applicant).
2. Placement Location: Pods and Dumpsters may ONLY be placed on driveways, NOT in the street, in
a front, side or back yard, or on a sidewalk. Any improperly placed Pod or Dumpster will be subject to removal
from Meadow Ridge by or on behalf of the Board, at the expense of the applicant/ owner of the property upon
which it was placed.
3. Time Limits for Use: A Pod or Dumpster must not be placed on a property within Meadow Ridge
more than five (5) business days in advance of its loading or unloading (in the case of a Pod) or the commencement
of the remodeling work (in the case of a Dumpster). The loading or unloading of a Pod should take no more than
seven (7) days and a Pod should not remain on a property within Meadow Ridge for more than five (5) business
days after such loading or unloading work has been completed; therefore, the maximum permitted usage time limit
for a Pod to remain within Meadow Ridge is three (3) weeks. Major home remodeling work should take between
thirty (30) and forty-two (42) days to complete and a Dumpster should not remain on a property within Meadow
Ridge for more than five (5) business days after such remodeling work has been competed; therefore, the maximum
permitted usage time limit for a Dumpster to remain within Meadow Ridge is eight (8) weeks. As noted above, the
Board may approve, on a case-by-case basis, extensions of the foregoing maximum permitted usage time limits if
the applicants can demonstrate the need for it to do so based on extenuating circumstances.
This Resolution and the rules and regulations set forth above were approved by the Board on March 25, 2020,
to become effective ten (10) days after a copy of this Resolution has been sent by first class mail to each
Meadow Ridge property owner. # # # # # # #

deposit check of $100.00 will be shredded, provided that the room and its contents will be left in the exact same
condition as when I initially occupied the room, including but not limited to my removal of all trash and debris from
the room and from the clubhouse area. I further understand and agree that this deposit will be used to pay for
cleaning costs, and any and all damages to the Community Room, its contents, or any other portion of the property
occurring while I am in possession of the room. I understand that any charges made against my deposit will be
explained. If the amount of charges exceeds the amount of my deposit, I agree to pay the Association the full cost of
all repairs within ten (10) days of receipt of a written explanation of the damages and a bill from the Association for
such repairs.
6. I assume all responsibility, risks, liabilities and hazards incidental to the activities applied for (including, but not
limited to, the serving of alcoholic beverages), and hereby release and forever discharge the Association, its officers,

Property immediately. 11. In the event of cancellation of my reservation forty-eight (48) hours or more before the reservation date, I
understand that my deposit will be refunded in full. Cancellation after this time period will result in forfeiture of my
deposit. 12. I agree to take possession of the Community Room and return it fully intact on the date and time(s) as designated
