HOA News

Change in Garbage Collection Days

Our trash pickup company, Titus Trash, has made another revision to their pickup schedule. This change was given to the HOA after we had received the previous notice and notified the community on June 22. Titus Trash distributed fliers reflecting this change on June 24.

Starting July 5, 2010, trash pickup will move from Wednesday and Saturday to Monday and Thursday. Also, trash collection will now shift to a day later for all trash days falling after the holiday when the following holidays occur during the week: New Years Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Reminders

	Repair or Replace Downed Fence Rails and Posts We have all seen deer running through our yards and jumping over our fences. Unfortunately, though, they also tend to knock down loose rails and rotted posts. Make sure you replace downed fence rails and posts when you notice them to keep our neighborhood looking good.
	Report Broken Street Lights Montgomery County is responsible for maintaining the roads in our development including the street lights. They provide online resources to report broken street lights and other pedestrian issues – follow this link.
	Speed Limit is 25 MPH The speed limit in our residential neighborhood is 25 MPH. Please drive safely and be mindful of your neighbors who are out walking, running, biking, and the children waiting for school buses and playing throughout our community.
	Approval Required For All Exterior Changes or Additions If you are making any exterior changes or additions to your house or property, you must submit your plan to the Architectural and Environmental Review Committee (AERC) and allow 30 days for review and approval before you begin work. Guidance on the AERC process and the modification proposal checklist form are posted online.
