October 2024 Community Newsletter
Happy Halloween
We hope everyone enjoys a safe and spook-tacular evening!! Please remember to trick-or-treat in numbers, bring lights so you can be seen by drivers, only go to homes with their lights on and avoid those that don’t. Please remember it’s also a school and work evening.
Speeding
Please slow down! We should all drive slowly in neighborhoods, but our community has many turns and straightaways, as well as paths and bike lanes for pedestrians. This creates a scary combination, so please remind drivers in your home to slow down, and avoid distractions while driving, such as cell phones.
Fall Lawn Maintenance
It’s time to start cleaning up leaves as they drop. Please try to clean these up regularly, so they are not left to blow all into your neighbor’s yards. Don’t let your plants or trees block signs or corners. This is for safety. Our yards are part of the first impressions of the community, so please keep them up.
Pet Etiquette
Dogs should be leashed when not on your own property, so they can’t charge or jump up on other people and their pets. There are City laws regarding this and fines for not complying. Please also clean up after them. No one wants to clean up poop, but it’s the responsibility you take on when owning a pet. Just do it. We greatly appreciate it!
Garbage Cans
Please make sure to store garbage cans out of sight. They should be behind a fence or in the garage. Shrubs without leaves or that have been pruned back do not conceal these.
Rentals
Rentals are prohibited without approval from the Board in advance. To get approval to rent your home, you must prove an undue hardship by filling out a request form online.
Permanent Lighting
Permanent accent lighting is becoming more popular. You must get ACC approval, and there are some rules. Permanent accent lights are permitted if they are professionally installed, well maintained, under the eaves, low profile or canned in the soffit and match the home colors or trim.
Snow Removal
Snow is just around the corner. Make sure you do not push snow from your sidewalks and driveways into the streets. Snow should go on your lawns, and if you are near a street drain, please be sure to keep it clear.
Holiday Decorations
It’s that time of year when so many people decorate for the holidays. We love to see all the festivity! However, we ask that you remember temporary holiday decorations may be installed 30 days prior to the holiday and should be removed within 30 days after the holiday, vendor scheduling and weather permitting.
Just a reminder that the Facebook page is run by residents. This is not an official page run by the Association.
