2024 Fall Newsletter Reminders

With cooler temperatures and the leaves beginning to change, fall has arrived in southeast Michigan. The board would like to share a few reminders for our neighborhood: 

1. Signs, except for home for sale signs, are NOT permitted.

2. SLOW DOWN when driving on our neighborhood streets. The speed limit is 25 MPH.

3. Our community is getting younger, and along with that, more kids are in and around the roads. School bus stops have kids crossing and traveling the roads. Halloween will bring trick or treat with kids out in the twilight hours. Cooler weather and no bugs mean families are out walking the streets. Please use caution and adhere to the 25 MPH speed limit.

4. Trailers need to be moved to an offsite storage location as of September 30, per the restriction documents in Sub 1.

5. Dogs are to be under control at all times and not running free. Please be sure to have your dogs properly contained in your yard and on a leash when walking the neighborhood.

We hope everyone will have a safe and healthy fall season.

We appreciate your attention to these matters
