Speed Signs - Recently Richard Schinner contacted Montgomery county regarding the speeding problem along Blackberry Drive and the posting of speed limit signs. He received 2 letters in response that we'd like to share with the community:
Parking Restrictions in the Town Home Area - Please read the restrictions that are part of our covenants, Article IV-4, 5, and Article VIII-8.
Animal Control - We have had recent complaints about pets not properly leashed, defecating (not scooped) and continuous barking. At our Oct 14th meeting our guest speaker, Officer Herb Emerson of Montgomery County Animal Control, relayed some important information. Please read the details in the minutes. He provided us with an Affidavit that can be used to issue an Order to Correct or Civil Citation that a homeowner can use to help correct constant problems with pet owners that disregard animal control ordinances. You can download the Affidavit here:

Town home Exterior Color Scheme - This document contains the color schemes that all townhouse owners should follow when making changes or repairs to their home. As always, you must submit an ARC application when make such repairs or changes. You can get the ARC application below.
Architectural Review Committee (ARC): As you all know if you plan to change the outside of your home you have to fill out and submit an ARC application. Applications are then reviewed by the ARC, which follows a set of guidelines. A majority vote is required to approve an application. The ARC and the HOA Board of Directors are conducting a semi-annual walkthrough of the community which includes finding violations of this rule. Please take the time to apply ahead of time. If you need an ARC APPLICATION it is available in PDF format or HTML format.
West Nile Virus: We have received a letter from the Montgomery Count Department of Health and Human Services regarding the West Nile Virus. Click here to see the letter.
