FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the buying process like? How does it work?  First off, you must be on the reservations list to be able to buy. Each unit will require a refundable deposit of $15,000, which is placed into an escrow account. All funds are payable to Signature Storage Escrow. About one month before we start construction, we will ask for a second deposit and your signature on a hard sales contract. 

Do I own my unit?  The ownership is just the same as a residential condominium. You own the land and the building, fee simple.

Will there be monthly costs associated with my unit?  Yes there will be. An early estimate on the monthly fees should be about $25 - 35 per month, per unit. The monthly fees would pay for landscaping, water, common area electricity, facilities maintenance, insurance and common area lighting and will be established each year by the Board of Directors or Management service for your condos.

What size units are available? 
Most all the units have a standard depth of fifty feet (50') and all have door heights of 14'.  Standard widths are 16’  and 14' wide sectional doors respectively. Some Units can be combined to create a 32' x 50' unit, or can also be combined end to end to create units up to 100' deep.

Can I combine two units together to create a larger one?  Yes. See the paragraph above.

Are there restrictions on my use of the unit?  Yes, there will be some restrictions. Noise levels, pollutants, fire hazards, outside storage etc. Frankly, nothing more than common sense items. As we develop the CC&R's for the community, they will be posted on our web site so you can view the restrictions and possible use limitations. Of course, before you actually purchase a unit, a complete legal version of the CC&R's will be provided to you as required by law.

Will there be a dump station?  Depending upon the particular development, within your unit will be a dump station, and in some larger developments we are planning to have one or two on the outside as well.

Will there be a wash area?  In some facilities we intend to install pressure washers.

Who pays for the electricity in my unit?  Each unit will be individually metered. When you buy your unit, you will sign up with SCE just as you would your home. You will then receive a monthly bill for usage.

Are unit sizes flexible?  Yes some are. We have designed the building so the dividing partition can be removed so any two units, side by side can be combined. If there is a middle building's) within a project, you can have two units combined side by side as well as end to end, creating a space as large as 32' x 100', with doors at either end, creating a "pull through".

How wide is the driveway between buildings?   Normally 50” feet.

Can I live in my unit?  Without question, the answer is NO!

Can I operate a business from my unit?  Again the answer is NO!

Can I work on my vehicle in my unit?  Only to a limited degree. There cannot be anything other than storage going on less and except tinkering with your RV. One caution....don't even think about using the outside common area for a workshop. The outside property will remain spotless and clean at all times.

Will financing be available?  We have lenders who have expressed an interest in financing the units. As we get closer to the build out of this project, we will post the lenders of choice on the web site so you can begin exploring your options.

Can I rent out my unit?  Yes. There are no restrictions in renting out your unit. There has been strong interest by some owners who would like to purchase multiple units for just that purpose. 

Will there be security?   Security is a top priority as far as we are concerned. Security cameras cover all the common area, as well as at the entrance to the facility. All activity will be recorded on a DVR, as well as anyone entering or leaving the project. Each owner will have his or her own security code and access keys. Additionally, Owners will have the option of viewing the security cams live via the internet.

Will there be an on-site manager?   Probably not. The security we plan to have should take care of any unwelcome guests. However, your Board may want to have a management company take care of maintenance, billing, and other menial tasks.

What are the dimensions of each unit?  16' wide x 50' deep x 16' interior height, 14' roll up door. Some units may be combined side to side and end to end, doubling the width or depth of combined units.

Are these units tall enough for an RV?  Yes. The tallest RV allowed on roads is 13'6". Our doors will have a clear height of 14'. 

Is there security in each unit?  The units will come with an alarm system on each door. Monitoring will be provided by the association.

Can I access my unit 24 x 7?  Yes. Remember, you own this project. You can access the property any time you wish, including holidays.

When will the units be built?   Our target is for mid year 2008, however, there are a multitude of regulations that have to be met that could delay the construction date. We will try to keep you updated on a regular basis.  informed every month.

How will the reservations be handled?  We will be accepting Reservations for about one month. These are reservations requiring cash deposits. These units are at pre-construction pricing which will be considerably less than units to be once we commence construction. These deposits will be on a first come first serve basis.
