January Newsletter

General Items

​The neighborhood was very festive this year with our decorations, and looked very welcoming. With that said, please remember that all decorations need to be removed by January 15, 2015. Hopefully (!) Mother Nature will provide the means to make snowmen and snow angels in their place.

According to the City of Berea, Christmas trees will be picked up for recycling (not in a bag), only on these days: January 9 and January 16.

In regards to snow removal for driveways, the company will not plow the driveway if a vehicle is parked outside.

In addition, according to the city ordinance, there is no overnight parking on the street, or anytime during a snow ban of 2 inches or more.

We would like to remind pet owners about being good neighbors. Please be mindful of cleaning up after your pet in all common areas and on personal property.

Please remember that there is no storage under decks.

Rules and Regulations

We would like to take a brief moment to remind everyone in the community about guest parking. When hosting an event where your guests will be parking in the street please remember that all cars must park on the non-hydrant side. Guest cannot park in front of our driveways. Our streets are not wide enough to permit double parking and still allow for the passage of cars past them. This is especially true of emergency vehicles which would have no way of getting through double parked cars. Our community can fill up pretty quickly if several people are hosting events. Please make sure to remind your guests to park on non-hydrant side of street, the parking pads, or Hobby Horse Lane. Ultimately, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure their guests follow the rules. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation with this.

 

Landscaping & Design

The landscape and design forms have been updated on the website. They now include a generic lot diagram. When you are submitting your request please include the rough locations of items, and be as descriptive as possible. If you have your own diagram, please feel free to submit it instead. This will provide the committees and the board with a better idea of your project.

​ If you are planning landscaping or architectural/design changes to submit a landscaping or design form to the respective committee.  All forms are available on the website.  When you fill them out you can drop them off to the committee chair in person or email them to landscaping@trailheadvillage.com or design@trailheadvillage.com and make sure to read the rules and regulations to see what is and isn’t permitted in the neighborhood.  Please remember that the review process can take up to 21 days to complete.
