POLICIES & GUIDELINES
Parking
When residents and their guests park on the sidewalk or outside of the designated cutouts for parking, it presents three problems:
- Residents and their children and pets must cross into the street and face danger from neighborhood traffic.
- Emergency vehicles such as fire trucks cannot maneuver throughout the neighborhood (this has actually happened already and is very dangerous).
- It makes the neighborhood look disorderly and unattractive.
Lawn Maintenance
Second only to parking, lawn maintenance is a primary concern of many residents. The Board has a lawn monitoring program. Lawns needing attention will receive a notice. We also plan to compliment owners with particularly attractive lawns and hopefully develop a recognition program. Read the recent notice.
The following individuals and companies are recommended by your neighbors:
- George David 706-340-0897
- Ted Horsley 706-227-1479
- College Pro 706-543-8575
- LMA, Inc. 706-353-2449
- Lawn Rangers 706-207-5542
- Tru-Green 678-714-7900
If necessary a second warning will require the property owner to correct the problem by a specific date. If the problem is not corrected the Board has the option of notifying the ACC Community Protection Division and/or referring the problem to the association's attorney. Any costs are the obligation of the property owner.
Trash Cans
When you leave your big trash can out on the sidewalk it not only looks "trashy" but blocks the sidewalk! Please be a good neighbor and bring it in when you get home in the evening.
It is Athens-Clarke County law to bring your trash can in within 24 hours of pickup. It is covenants regulation to have it behind the front corner of your house. People have been cited by the unified government already.
Pets
It is against the law for your pet to wander throughout the neighborhood unattended or off a leash. Loose pets not only frighten small children and provoke other pets, but can be hit and possibly killed in the street. Please show more respect for your neighbors' and your animals' safety. Loose dogs will be reported to animal control (this has already happened as well)
