Change In Snow Removal Policy
February 12, 2007
As many of you know, our snow removal bills have been extremely high this year, due to the abnormally snowy weather we’ve received. The Board voted at its February 8 meeting to revise the snow removal policy for the HOA.
1. We will continue to remove snow when snowfall is anticipated to exceed approximately 4” or more in the neighborhood. This may be altered slightly depending upon the weather forecast for the following 48 hours. If sun and/or warm temperatures are projected, then snow removal may not occur.
2. In the event of snowfall of 6” or more, snow removal will be done by mechanical means (not hand shoveling) and will include the use of ATVs, back-dragging, etc.
3. For snowfall of 12” or more, additional mechanical means may be used, including skid loaders, dump trucks, large snow plows, etc. The park sidewalk will NOT have snow removal if snowfall exceeds 12”.
Mechanical means will allow us to greatly reduce the cost of snow removal in the HOA. We project a 30-40% reduction in our snow removal bills by eliminating hand shoveling during periods of heavier snowfall.
The Board will also make its best efforts to post here during periods of snow if it anticipates removing snow. This will give residents the ability to determine whether or not they should remove snow themselves. If residents wish to be notified by email, please make sure our HOA manager has your email details.
