2006 Budget
The Board of Directors is happy to announce that the budget for 2006 has been finalized and it does not call for an increase. The Annual Assessment will remain at $77.00 per home. Assessments will be due on April 1, 2006, and you should expect to see your invoice in mid-February 2006.

Snow Removal
Please remember that the individual homeowner is responsible for shoveling the sidewalk in front of, in back of and next to their homes. Due to safety issues, if a sidewalk goes un-shoveled for more that 24 hours after a snowfall, the Association will have its snow removal contractor clear the area. If this becomes necessary, the homeowners who do not shovel will receive an invoice for this service. Please be considerate of your neighbors, especially those children who need to use our sidewalks to walk to school, and shovel your sidewalks promptly after it snows.

Mini-Bikes, Snowmobiles and Motorcycles
The Association has received complaints regarding the use of the above-mentioned vehicles on both Common Areas, and even in people’s yards. Please note that per the Declaration, Article XI, Section 11.A. (xvi), motor vehicles, including, but not limited to, mini-bikes, snowmobiles and motorcycles, may be not be driven on any part of the property, except for streets and driveways. This includes allowing the use of these vehicles in your own yard. Use of these vehicles in the streets must comply with the Townships regulations.
