Orange magnets on garage doors

Although winter snows seem almost unimaginable given the recent heat we wanted to inform you that over the next few weeks you will find an orange magnet attached to your garage door with your house number on it.  Please remove it from your door and save it for the winter. 

This magnet is to be placed on your garage door, in the spot it was found, when snow is predicted and you prefer to have your property cleared of snow first.  This will allow our snow contractor to prioritize his work schedule based on the needs of the homeowner.   We are doing this in response to feedback our neighbors provided this winter.    

The magnet is to be removed by the homeowner once their property has been cleared of snow.  The magnet is not to be left on the door all winter. Damage to the metal garage door will result when the magnet is left attached for an extended period of time.  Any damage resulting from the extended placement of the magnet is the sole responsibility of the homeowner.  Any magnet found on a door when snow is not in the forecast will result in a violation and removal of the magnet and loss of priority privilege. 

Please let us know if you have any questions, comments etc.   

 

No parking on the Mill Creek Circle

The board recently had no parking signs installed on the Mill Creek circle.  There are a few reasons for this.  It has been noted that with cars parked in the circle garbage trucks cannot fit in the circle and garbage has not been collected.  Our sprinkler vendor has also reported that vehicles have jumped the circle and crushed sprinkle heads; causing flooding and wasting water.  As a result the board voted to restrict the ability to park in that area.  Please do not park in that area there is a parking lot close by to accommodate your needs in that area.  As always if you have any questions please feel free to contact a board member.   Thanks for your help. 

Community reminders

The July 4^th weekend is our busiest of the year and with it being over and plenty of summer left we would like to send out some reminders to the community in an effort to make this summer safe and happy for all.

 

Please park your car in the correct direction of traffic

Please do not park on the Belgian blocks or the grass (it breaks our sprinkler heads)

Please put garbage cans on the curb not the grass

Please do not block drive ways in any way

Please provide clearance when parking by trash cans. 

If you run or knock over a trash can please pick it up and return the garbage to the can

Please drive slowly and carefully through the community

Please stop at all the stop signs

Dog waste needs to be picked up and placed in a container not placed around the community

There are no sports equipment of any type permitted in the community

 

These requests are all rules we have in the by-laws, they will be enforced if not adhered to
