Welcome to our suburban enclave! Life here is designed to be tranquil, enriching, and free from stress. To ensure your enjoyment and comfort, we have established the following essential guidelines (inscribed in stone, no less). Please review them thoroughly. The first violation will incur a $1,000 penalty and public reprimand. Repeated offenses may lead to expulsion from the community.

1. Community Aesthetics

All properties must remain devoid of unsightly, unnatural objects. While outdoor activities should ideally be confined to backyards, age-appropriate handmade toys may be displayed in front yards between 4 to 6 p.m. Daily cleanup is mandatory. Any items left outside will be discarded. Fun remnants are strictly forbidden.

2. Noise Regulations

Noise levels outdoors must not exceed 50 decibels during the day and 20 decibels at night. Open windows are only permissible if indoor noise levels meet these criteria as measured from the sidewalk. Swimming pools are allowed for aesthetic purposes; however, swimming is prohibited to maintain the tranquility of late-afternoon board games.

3. Children and Pets

Residences with odd-numbered addresses are allowed one pet. Acceptable dog breeds include AKC-certified retrievers, poodles, and Yorkshire terriers. Mixed breeds and shelter animals are not allowed unless they meet the 90 percent breed requirement (DNA verification mandatory). Cats must remain indoors. Households may have up to two children, ideally one of each gender. Any unattended pets or children must be reported to authorities immediately.

4. Pet Waste Management

Pet owners must manage their dogs’ waste responsibly. Coffee enemas are recommended as a method to maintain your pet’s health and cleanliness. All outdoor waste must be disposed of in your own yard and deodorized immediately. If a dog soils another yard, complete sod replacement is required within 24 hours. Outdoor felines found eliminating in yards are subject to immediate removal.

5. Yard Care

All yards should be meticulously maintained, free of weeds and non-compliant plants. Lawn edges must be trimmed straight, and grass should conform to at least 99 percent of the Pantone 16-0233 TCX Meadow Green standard. In drought conditions, replace landscape elements with drought-resistant native plants following the approved design guidelines.

6. Waste Disposal

All trash, recycling, and yard debris must be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 a.m. on collection days. Waste bins must be cleaned monthly (refer to the designated contractor list) and stored away within 15 minutes of collection. When not in use, bins should be out of sight.

7. Grilling Regulations

Only locally sourced, organic vegetables and ethically raised meats are permissible on neighborhood grills. Compliance checks will be conducted randomly.

8. Interior Standards

The inside of your home must meet the CDC’s hospital cleanliness standards at all times. Exceptions may be granted for significant holiday stress, serious illness, or bereavement.

9. Outdoor Play

Children are cherished members of our community. They may play outside during designated hours: 4 to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 1 to 4 p.m. on weekends. Groups must consist of no more than four children and require adult supervision. Any child crossing into a child-free property will receive a gentle reminder about boundaries through a small but effective electric shock.

10. Prohibited Behaviors

Activities such as car washing, solicitation, nude sunbathing, outdoor texting, wardrobe adjustments, singing, whistling, physical contact without hand sanitizer, outdoor slippers, loud chewing, and welcoming new neighbors without baked goods are completely banned at all times.

11. Addressing Issues

Neighborly disputes should be resolved through anonymous, passive-aggressive notes discreetly placed in mailboxes overnight. Direct interactions are to be avoided to prevent awkwardness or confrontation.

12. Social Guidelines

Friendly smiles and waves are encouraged, but excessive socializing is to be minimized. Honest answers to inquiries are discouraged; responses should be brief and general. Door knocking is not permitted unless explicit written consent is obtained or if you are a Girl Scout selling cookies.
