For your convenience, the board has compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions for quick reference purposes. Of course if you would like to know anything further you can always contact us!
Solar panels are permitted, but are not allowed to be installed on any roofline that faces the street. Plans should be sent to the HOA Board for approval before installation to be safe.
8.1.13. No outside television or radio antenna shall be erected, installed or maintained on any Lot, or on any Structures thereon, except that an outside television or radio antennae and any of its supporting apparatus combined will not exceed three foot (3′) in length, and will not exceed three foot (3′) in height above the roof or chimney of the Structure. Solar panels shall not be visible from the streets.
The HOA board has received quotes and land assessments based on our available green spaces for installation of a pool and has concluded that it will not be possible for IronStone to accommodate a pool. For requirements of space, including parking and accessibility, none of the available spaces can accommodate a pool structure and the required amenities. Beyond space availability, the costs for installation and maintenance would require a raise in price for annual dues.
Assessment for a splash pad has also been reviewed, but due to available land, parking requirements, installation and maintenance cost, the size of our neighborhood and annual dues income cannot accommodate a splash pad.
There are currently no regulations regarding custom house numbers, logos, or other designs on the curb of your house.

There are currently very limited rules stated in the governing documents about shed structures. Please be considerate of your neighbors and contact the Board with design plans prior to building.
Because the streets are public property, parking concerns within a neighborhood are often not within the scope of the HOA boards ability to enforce. It is a policy of the HOA board to only address parking concerns when a formal complaint is filed by another resident. We encourage you to speak to your neighbor if you have concerns, but the board will make attempts to contact a neighbor on your behalf if needed.
We ask first and foremost to be considerate of your neighbors when making any parking choices on the public streets. For example, if a large vehicle blocks the sidewalk, you may perhaps park in the street during the day and only block the sidewalk overnight by parking in your driveway.
We recognize that temporarily parking on the street may be needed, but kindly ask that there be no overnight on-street parking.
We also ask that all neighbors follow the City of Edmond Parking General Regulations. Below are highlights relevant to IronStone and parking concerns.
10.68.010 – Parking Rules. At any time it shall be unlawful to permit any vehicle, trailer, or thing, motorized or not, which impedes vehicular or pedestrian traffic to stand in any of the following places, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or traffic control device:
(b) In a marked crosswalk.
(d) Within thirty feet (30′) of a traffic signal, beacon or sign on the approaching side.
(e) Within twenty feet (20′) of any intersection or designated crosswalk.
(h) At any location where the vehicle would block any portion of a public or private driveway.
(k) On any sidewalk or pedestrian pathway.
Property perimeter fences should not exceed 6’6″ in height. All property perimeter fences which face a street shall have the facing side of the fence towards the street. No chain link fencing is permitted.
Under Oklahoma law, both neighbors are equally responsible for the upkeep and repairs of their boundary fences. Because the fence straddles the property line, neither homeowner is entirely responsible for it – its repair and upkeep are generally considered to be a joint effort. This means that if one neighbor makes repairs to the fence, they can reasonably request a 50% reimbursement from the neighbor on the other side.
If a fence that shares a property with a common space is in need of repair or replacement, please contact the board.
