Important Requests

Bird feeders and fruit trees attract unwanted visitors including deer, bears, snakes and rodents. Sad but true - for a residential area such as ours, it would be in the common interest to remove these items, and we request that you do so.

The landscape maintenance crew is instructed not to take directions from homeowners, in order to avoid miscommunication and misunderstanding.  If you have any questions or problems relating to landscape maintenance, please call or email any Grounds Committee members.

HOA rules prohibit parking on the grass areas including the verges along the road side (Covenants IX.8.e). Cars parking on the grass verges damage the turf and exacerbate erosion along the road side.  The HOA invests a lot of effort and money to combat this problem.  Please request your visitors not to park on the grass verges.
