SPYGLASS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

The Spyglass development consists of 554 homes on 24 streets in 10 tracts in unincorporated Los Angeles County with a Whittier mailing address. The Spyglass development is approximately 256 acres in size with about 85 acres of slopes and 8 miles of concrete bench drains.

The Spyglass Homeowners Association (Association) was organized in 1971, when the original Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) were recorded. Under California law, the Association is a Non-profit Mutual Benefit Corporation. The primary purpose of the Association, as stated in the current CC&R’s, is to manage and maintain the designated Slope Areas.

Every homeowner is billed equally for the monthly Association assessments or dues. The Association’s fiscal year begins on September 1^st and ends on August 31^st.

The Association is run by a five member Board of Directors (Board), who are volunteer homeowners, with the help of the management company, general counsel, volunteer Committees and the Operations Manager. Currently, most of the duties that were performed by the volunteer Landscape Committee and Architectural Committee are now performed by the Operations Manager.

The Board is elected every year at the Association’s Annual Election Meeting for the term of one year. An Annual Election Meeting package is mailed to each homeowner every September. [Each homeowner has five votes for each lot for the purposes of electing the Board. For all other types of voting, there is one vote for each lot. Homeowners can vote by either attending the election meeting or by filling out, signing and sending in their proxies.]

Did You Know?

That a 63 acre estate, on what is now Overcrest Dr. in Spyglass, was owned by a steel magnate who sold the steel to make the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building?  John Wayne filmed a movie on the 63 acre estate too.
