A private snow removal service will again handle our community when the snowfall is approximately 2"+. This allows our streets to be cleared much faster because the city's focus is on major arteries before residential areas. Avoid parking vehicles on streets and cul de sacs during times of snowfall to allow the space for the plows. Sidewalks located along the street are the individual residents' responsibility to keep clear of snow per city ordinance.

Our private plowing service does the best they can to avoid damaging turf. It is recommended residents install their own snow stakes to assist the drivers plowing streets for homes located on cul de sacs and curves.

Street corners may be salted in conjunction with the private plowing services. If necessary, due to unusual circumstances such as an ice storm, the street corners may be privately salted independently of the plowing services. Due to costs, the street corners are the only areas that may be privately salted. Salt is effective during certain weather conditions, however, it is not effective during periods of extreme cold temperatures.

Because of the expense for private snow and salt services, the association sets plowing criteria to help keep annual homeowners dues as reasonable as possible. We pay for private services as needed by the man hour and there is not a "flat rate" per season regardless of the amount of snowfall. If the snowfall meets the 2" threshold for plowing and an additional 2" of snow continues falling, the plows will be back a second time. It is better for the snowplow equipment to plow in 2" intervals due to the wear and tear, plus it takes fewer man hours to plow in intervals rather than clear deep, wet, heavy snow.

If an intersection or area in the addition becomes slippery, but does not meet the requirements for the private plow to come out, 311 is an option to call or contact online.
