Good afternoon. Below I have cut and paste a PDF (if there is a way to attach a PDF on FB, I couldn't figure it out....) that is a resolution regarding Short Term Leases and Yard Signs. Concerns regarding an AirBnB in our neighborhood that has a fair amount of siding that has fallen off, a dead tree, and another tree that had been blown over (removed but not replaced) were brought to our attention. As well as multiple cars in and out and a consistent change over of guests that made neighbors feel uneasy. This was emailed out and will also be mailed out to assure it reaches everybody. Please feel free to reach out with any legitimate questions. Thank you.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE GLASFORD
SUBDIVISION HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. ADOPTING POLICIES AND
RESOLUTIONS REGARDING SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND SIGNAGE IN YARDS
Whereas the Glasford Subdivision Homeowners Association, Inc. (“Association”) has certain
governing documents, including the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Restrictive Covenants and
amendments thereto (collectively referred to as the “Governing Documents”), to which each
Association Lot Owner(s) is subject to and fully bound by;
Whereas each Owner(s) within the Association has certain duties, responsibilities, and powers
pursuant to the provisions of the Governing Documents;
Whereas the Association’s Bylaws empowers the Association’s Board of Directors (“Board”) to
make and amend rules and regulations, to enforce by legal means the provisions of the
Declarations, Bylaws and the rules and regulations adopted by the Board, and the Restrictive
Covenants require Lot owners to abide by the terms and provisions of all rules and regulations
adopted by the Board;
Whereas each of the recorded Restrictive Covenants provide that “No lot within the Property
shall be used except for private single-family residential purposes”;
Whereas each of the recorded Restrictive Covenants further provide that “No sign for advertising
or for any other purpose shall be displayed on any lot within the Property or on a building,
structure or anywhere else on any lot within the Property expect one sign for advertising the sale
or rent thereof, which shall not be greater in area than nine square feet.”
Whereas the Board seeks to adopt a policy for the rental of homes and the placement of signage
that is consistent with the law as it currently exists and to provide guidance to Lot owners
regarding the use and enjoyment of their respective Lots;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Association through its Board is exercising its contractual
and inherent authority and hereby promulgates and adopts the following rules and regulations
including:
a. No short-term rentals of homes will be permitted because the Restrictive Covenants
state that lots are only to be used for “private single-family residential purposes” and short-term
leasing is neither a “private” nor a “residential” purpose as the Supreme Court of Kentucky held in
Hensley v. Gadd, 560 S.W.3d 516 (Ky. 2018);
b. The term “short term rental” shall mean a period of less than thirty (30) days;
c. All Lot owners renting their homes shall provide to the Board, prior to the occupancy
of the home by the tenant(s), a copy of the lease agreement;
d. All Lot owners shall provide to each tenant(s) a copy of the Association’s Declaration
of Covenants and Bylaws;
2
e. Lot owners shall be permitted to have political signs in their yards under the
following conditions: (1) the sign may not be greater in size than nine (9) square feet, (2) the sign the
sign may only be placed on the Lot within three (3) weeks of the local, state or federal election, (3)
the sign must be removed within three (3) days after that election, (4) the sign must be for a political
candidate or issue being voted upon at that upcoming election, (5) the sign must be placed between
the sidewalk and the front of the residence (no placement of signs between the sidewalk and the
roadway and no signs on any residence), and (6) there shall be a limit of three (3) political signs at
the same time on any Lot.
f. Lot owners shall be permitted to have “Happy Birthday,” graduation, or other similar
congratulatory signage on their Lots for a period of up to seven (7) days.
g. The Association reserves the right to direct any Lot owner to remove any signage that
uses vulgar language, is unrelated to any political candidate or initiative, or if the sign is in disrepair.
h. The Association reserves the right to permit additional signage like those for special
causes if a Lot owner makes a written request through the Board for that sign to be placed on a Lot.
The Board will then vote on whether to permit the placement of that sign.
This resolution may be amended from time to time by the Association’s Board of Directors.
Nothing in this resolution shall require the Association or its Board of Directors to take
specific actions other than to notify Lot owners of the adoption of this policy resolution at their last
known mailing address.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Board of Directors have executed this resolution this, the
_________ day of October, 2022, after a properly called and duly conducted meeting of the Board of
Directors where these resolutions were brought forth, discussed, motioned for adoption, and passed.
