HAPPY FALL TO,YOU ALL!!!!!!
It is hard to believe that it is time to put out the winter barrel's and stake the roadways and driveways. Let's hope we will not have a repeat of last year.
I have just met with John Patten to outline this year and go over last year. He has apologized for the many issues that happened last year, so let's not go backwards, only forwards.
I will be chairing the Plowing this year with the able help from Diane Kaplan and Loretta Pinson. Should issues arise, please do not contact John Patten. You may call either Diane or Loretta or me and we will see that the issue is taken under advisement and then get back to you when we can. I will be the only contact with John.
We have identified the people who must get out early and John has assured me that they'll do everything possible to accommodate.
All gas tanks have stakes to identify were they are.
I have asked that the large electric boxes in some of the front yards be cleared also.
As in the past, the first area to be cleaned out is the front of the garages and then always the front door when time permits.
They have been instructed to leave a 12 foot clearing in front of the gate at the end of Ruch Lane.
I have contacted Randy Jackson at D.F. Richard to clarify the use of fireplaces should we have a winter like last year and he reassured me again this year as last, that it is perfectly safe to use your fireplace. If you turn your fireplace on and it does not come on, it means the vent is blocked, so, obviously you can't use it. Any questions pertaining to this should be addressed individually with D.F. Richard.
Dryer vents are higher off the ground and the heat from the dryer would melt any snow. Use good judgement with any of these issues.
Salt is not used on driveways. The exception to this, is the hill going up to the homes on Spring Pond Circle where salt and and sand are used.
Let's not forget to check on neighbors and keep an open communication with your plowing committee when issues come up.
When we work together it is a great place to live.
