2 Basketball Hoop Guidelines May 26, 2005 Portable basketball hoops Portable basketball hoops do not require prior written approval from the ARC. However, basketball hoops must comply with the following conditions. 1. Basketball hoops must remain on the member s lot and not on the sidewalk or in the street. Unit must be placed at least half (1/2) of the length of the driveway from the street. 2. Basketball hoops should be maintained in good order with a net in good condition. 3. When feasible and when not in use over a period of time, the basketball hoop must be stored out of view so as not to detract from neighborhood aesthetics. Semi-portable basketball hoops Semi-portable basketball hoops (sleeve-mounted) are now permissible, but they MUST be approved by the ARC and they must have a clear backboard. Adjacent neighbor s signatures are required. There must be a minimum of five feet to a neighbor s property line. The sleeve-mounted basketball hoop must be placed at least half (1/2) of the length of the driveway from the street, and the sleeve must not protrude more than four inches above the ground. The ARC, at their discretion, can determine placement of the hoop to have the least impact on adjacent neighbors. Since the sleeve-mounted hoop is removable, it is considered temporary, and therefore the property of the member. It must be removed in the event the member moves. Permanent Backboards Permanently installed, free standing, pole mounted backboards may not be installed in the front yard and must be approved for side and rear yard installations. Considerations will include, but may not be limited to, proximity of goal to adjacent houses and adequate visual screening.

Run the conduit in a low viable place. Convert the DC to low voltage AC to avoid long conduit runs along the roof or siding.
