Our history
Strawberry Hill was developed in two divisions. The first, “Strawberry Hill. P.U.D.”, encompassed the north and east side of Cabrini Drive, including the cul-de-sacs of St. Annes Court, St. James Court, St. Matthews Court, and St. Pauls Court. The homes were built in the 1970s and were assigned lot numbers 1 through 55. The Strawberry Hill Homeowners Association was born, along with a set of covenants referred to as Strawberry Hill, P.U.D., which was recorded at the county courthouse October 17, 1978, #7810310109. Cabrini Drive at that time was a dead end.
In the 1980s a second division, referred to as “Strawberry Hill, Division 2, P.U.D.” was built by extending Cabrini Drive to form a complete loop. Homes on the south and west side of Cabrini Drive were assigned lot numbers 56 through 93. This separate neighborhood also had a homeowners association, and had its own set of covenants, referred to as Strawberry Hill, Division 2, P.U.D., which was recorded at the county courthouse November 22, 1988, #8811220157.
Important: In order to understand the covenants, you must read all three documents. The merged covenants provided that the older covenants (SH PUD) superseded the newer covenants (SH Division 2, PUD). The two sets of covenants were essentially identical, except that:
On May 30, 1990, the two homeowner associations and the two set of covenants were merged by the Declaration of Merger and Amendment. The merger document was recorded at the county courthouse August 10, 1990, #9008100130.
1. The dates were obviously different. This affects the amendment provisions. The older covenants were recorded 10-17-1978 and could be amended by a 90% vote of eligible homeowners for the first 20 years, reverting to 75% thereafter. The newer covenants were recorded 11-22-1988, with a similar 20 year provision. When the covenants were merged, the older dates took precedence.
2. The older covenants said that no parking was permitted along the west side of Cabrini Drive. All the mailboxes at that time were on the west side of the street. The newer covenants said no parking was permitted anywhere on Cabrini Drive. The older covenants take precedence, so the current provision is that no parking is allowed on the west side of Cabrini Drive. This was probably an oversight, because Cabrini Drive is a complete
loop, with north, south, east, and west sides, and mailboxes are scattered along all sides of the street.
The Strawberry Hill Homeowners Association also maintains a set of Amended Bylaws that govern the operation of the association.
If home owners have any questions about the CC&Rs or the Bylaws, contact an officer of the Board of Directors of the Homeowners Association.
