Outside - Stuff about Lawns, Garden Areas, and Parking
Trash/Garbage
Common dumpsters are available to all owners and residents. The dumpsters are emptied weekly. Please not place any hazardous or dangerous materials in the dumpsters. All trash must fit completely within the dumpster. Materials and trash are not to be left outside or on top of the dumpster. Materials left by the dumpster are the responsibility of the resident who placed them there. All owners are responsible for the upkeep and tidy appearance of each dumpster area.
Non-resident dumping is a Class II Felony according to Michigan State Law and will be fully prosecuted.
Parking
Each unit is allotted two parking places on the property. One parking place is a covered carport space. The other is a non-assigned, uncovered space anywhere on the property designated for parking. Commercial vehicles, boats, trailers, motor homes, RVs, and trucks are prohibited at all times. Nothing other than a car or motorcycle may be stored in or around the carport areas.
All cars and motorcycles must be registered and have up-to-date plates. All vehicles must be operational. All vehicles must be moved at least once every two weeks. Violators will be towed at owner’s expense.
Under no circumstances is there to be any driving or parking on the grass.
Boats, RVs, Commercial Vehicles, Trailers
These and other similar items may be stored in the upper parking lot only for no more than 24 hours, space permitting. Any of these items left for more than 24 hours will be towed at the owner’s expense. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Bicycles
Owners may not keep their bicycles in the carport areas, or on their decks or patios, nor in any common area hallway or entrance way. Bicycles are to be stored inside the owners unit, or under the stairs in the common storage area.
Lawn Care
The lawn, trees, and unattended garden areas are maintained by a contracted landscaping service. This includes the weekly cutting of grass, fertilization, monthly weeding, and periodic tree and bush pruning.
Each owner is fully responsible for any damage they or their children cause to the lawn, trees, or garden areas. Driving or parking on the lawn, even on the edge, is strictly prohibited.
Any sports or activities that might damage the lawn are prohibited. Children’s swimming pools are permitted, but must be moved within a couple of hours to prevent damage to the grass. Anyone found dumping chemicals or substances that result in harm to the lawn or environment will be prosecuted.
The Association maintains an automatic, underground, sprinkler system that operates from late May until late October. A common hose is kept in the front of each building to the side of the front porch.
Snow Removal
The Association pays for snow removal. Our current contract calls for the plowing of the driveway whenever an inch or more of snow falls. The Plow will return throughout the day as necessary. The plow team will also shovel each building entrance way once a day.
Each resident is encouraged to help out by taking turns shoveling the stairs and walk in front of their building on snowy days. A shovel and bucket of salt are kept inside each common entrance for this purpose.
Garden Areas
The garden areas in the front of each building belong to all owners of that building. Residents of each building should coordinate among themselves if anyone is interested in tending and planting these garden areas. Residents are encouraged to plant flowers, gardens, and tend plants on the property. Flower pots, small herb gardens, and hanging baskets are encouraged on the patio and deck areas. If no one desires to care for the common garden areas of a particular building, they will be minimally tended by the landscaping service for the removal of weeds, edging, and other basic care.
Garden areas along the back of each building belong to the bottom level units adjacent to them. If these residents do not desire to tend to these areas, the landscaping service will perform routine minimal care on these areas. The Board of Directors reserves the right to object to any garden project that is unsightly, routinely neglected, or that threatens overgrowth, invasive species, or other such hazards.
