THINGS TO REMEMBER
➢ There is to be absolutely NO PLAYING in the parking lot areas for safety.
➢ Please break down all boxes before placing in dumpster.
➢ Please be sure to close the dumpster lids to avoid unwanted rodents.
➢ Please help to keep the community clean. Loitering is Prohibited, all trash is to be placed in a dumpster.
➢ Everyone wants to live in a clean environment. Please DO NOT LITTER. If you see trash while outside, please help us to keep costs down and our community property
values up, pick it up and throw it away.
➢ Pets are prohibited to eliminate on Landscaping areas. It is recommended to use areas east of carports for pet walking and are to be cleaned up immediately.
➢ Pets must be on a hand-held leash at all times. This is for the health and safety of all residents/guests. Immediate and complete clean up after a pet is required. The unit
owner of any resident or guest observed not cleaning up after their pet may be fined up to $50 per violation. Please clean off your pet’s paws before coming into the building from outside to remove any possible dirt or mud.
➢ The Association pays for water and heat. Please be mindful of this and fix your faucet or toilet leaks quickly. Also, remember to first adjust the temperature of your
thermostat and then turn it down before opening your windows to cool down your unit.

Rubbish pick-up days for the dumpsters are Mondays and Thursdays. If the holiday falls on a Sunday, the rubbish schedule stays the same, if the holiday falls on a week day,
rubbish pick will be the following day. If you have large items you need to dispose of, please call the Management Office to advise what the item is that requires a special pickup. There may be an extra charge for these items. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Please, bag all trash being placed in the dumpsters. Simply dumping your kitchen trash can into the dumpster creates a mess when strong winds blow litter throughout the community. Thank you very much to those residents that are picking up trash. It
keeps the fees down.
