Spring Clean-Up/Fix-Up Time

Hello Neighbors:

We need your help in cleaning up the neighborhood. If you would please sweep the gutters in front and along side your house and edge the curbs in the next two weeks it would be appreciated. If you don't have the time and would like to have it done for you, we have a neighborhood boy employed to do it for $25 a house.

For all the neighbors who have a drainage ditch between houses it is your responsibility to keep the ditches mowed, if you need help the neighborhood boy will weed-eat and spray them for a fee.

Board of Governors

The Reservoir Community District (RCD)

The Board of Supervisors today approved the ordnance creating the Reservoir Community District (RCD). The section 2607 - PARKING is the section that is going to bring about the most change in our subdivision. They are:

Section 2607.01 Prohibited Parking or Storage of Vehicles in front and side yards: no vehicle, motor home, transient trailer, boat or trailer shall be parked or stored in any front yard or side yard within any platted residential subdivision (excluding all parts of Barnett Bend and the Vineyards) except within a paved garage, paved carport, paved apron or paved driveway. Driveway cannot cover more than 50% of the front yard and a driveway must be paved with flagstone, brick, asphalt, or concrete.
This basically says you can not park on the grass.
Section 2607.02 Parking and/or storage of any vehicle, motor home, transient trailer, boat or trailer on a public street or public right-of-way is prohibited withing any platted subdivision (excluding all parts of Barnett Bend and The Vineyards) or other district where NO PARKING signs have been installed. EXCEPTION: Parking for isolated, non-recurring gathering, parties, or visitors will be permitted.
This basically says no over night parking of residents on the street.
Section 2607.03 It shall be unlawful to leave parked overnight in any platted subdivision any commercial class of vehicle with more than six wheels, except for a period not to exceed time the truck is required in the conduct of work on the  premises.
This basically says that no truck larger that a duel wheel pickup with a sign is allowed to park overnight on a driveway in a platted subdivision.
Section 2607.04 All-terrain vehicles (ATV) shall be parked or stored within a garage or open carport or in a side or back yards if enclosed by solid fencing in a manner that prevents direct visibility from the street or neighboring property.
This basically says no ATV should be visible from the street

Spring Home Maintenance

Spring is the time to get your yard in shape and take care of any exterior problems that developed over the winter. Here are a few suggestions.

1. Doors and Windows: Check the paint or other finish on doors, windows and trim. Check windows for broken glass and damaged screens. Repair as needed.
2. Attic: Check underside of roof for water stains or dampness; if you see any, find how the water is penetrating the roof and eliminate the leakage.
3. Interior: Check all painted and natural finished surfaces for damp spots, mildew, discoloration, cracks, obulges caused by leaks or condensation of water (including ceilings in closets). I ceilings show any of these problems, determine whether water is coming from above or condensing from humidity within the living space.
4. Exterior Walls: Check foundation for loose or missing mortor, and for cracks or crumbling.
5. Roof: Check roof for damage or wear, use binoculars; look for shingles missing, cracked or curled; loot at chimneys, valleys, and metal flashing to see if metal is rusting or bricks are loose or flaking.
6. Yard: Clean out gutters, a matted layer of leaves or other debris in gutters could cause damage to the boards to which they are attached.  

What's Happening in Your Neighborhood

As the nice weather begins to stroll in, we tend to see more people out and about in the neighborhood. With so much more access to outdoor activities during the spring and summer months, why not get involved with those happening right in your own neighborhood.
