REQUESTS, REQUIREMENTS, RESTRICTIONS

  • Driving Safety

There are a couple of safety items that you need to be aware of while driving in the community.  The speed limit is 25 mph and when driving down the street, please stay on the proper side. Many tend to drive in the middle of the street.  This is dangerous.  It happens a great deal on Boyd. Please take a moment and make sure you are following all traffic laws within the community.

  • Holiday Guest Parking for Parties

With the Holiday Season around the corner, the parties in the community will take place.  We ask that you make sure your guests do not park in places that are “NO PARKING ZONES”.  They will be towed.  Boyd Street is a particular area of concern. Please call Nancy and let her know that you will need to use the clubhouse parking for your guests.  She needs to make sure there is nothing going on at the clubhouse first.  It is imperative that you make sure your guests are parked only where allowed.  The Board appreciates the show of cooperation recently.

  • Parking (Community Safety)

Parking at the dangerous bend of Boyd at the cross street of Weber has improved, but there are still a few residents and guests that continue to violate this parking area.  It is our hope that as we move forward, no one will park in that area or other areas where parking is not allowed. Towing will be the choice of discipline in the future.

  • Common Property Restrictions

Common property and easement areas are the property of the Association.  You are not allowed to plant or store anything in those areas.  Anything that is planted or set in that area is in jeopardy should heavy equipment or excavation of the area be needed.  The Association is not responsible for any plants or items left in those areas.  Please do not plant trees or shrubs in those areas.  Refer to your plot maps received at closing if you are not sure where your property ends.  Patio furniture is permitted on PATIOS & DECKS ONLY.  Furniture may NOT be used on lawn areas.

  • Condo Dumpsters and Club House Dumpsters not for Community use!

The condominium dumpsters are for the condominium residents only.  Please use your recycle and garbage cans to discard your garbage and recycle products.  Garbage pick-up is twice per week and recycle pick-up is every other week.  If you have excess or large items to discard, please call Raritan Valley for special pick- ups.  Do not use the condo dumpsters or the Club House dumpsters.  This especially applies to those that are moving in or moving out.  Thank you for your compliance.
