Articles, News and Photo LIBRARY >> Neighbor Dispute/Mediation Process Neighbor Dispute/Mediation Process STEP 1: The homeowner(s) who believe their protective covenants have been violated must first approach the homeowner(s) of the suspected violation to seek resolution of the complaint.
STEP 2: If Step #1 is not successful, the affected parties may file a written complaint with the H.C.C.A. Architectural Control Committee, which identifies the alleged covenant infraction(s), and which documents efforts undertaken in the attempt to resolve the dispute in step #1. Copies of this complaint should be sent to (a) The Chairperson of the Architectural Control Committee and (b) All homeowners involved in the dispute.
STEP 3: The Architectural Control Committee will provide a written response to all parties within thirty days of receiving the complaint.
STEP 4: If parties involved cannot resolve the dispute within thirty days after receiving the Architectural Control Committee response, the parties are encouraged to approach the City of Bellevue Conflict Resolution/Neighborhood Mediation Team to seek a reasonable settlement.
