Friendly Reminders...
As a preface, the Board believes that most of the residents
in the Estates are doing their best to comply with the rules
of the neighborhood and that in most situations nobody is intentionally
trying to inconvenience their neighbors or create danger. The
following friendly reminders are provided because, in the past, the
Board has received or has observed specific and repeated complaints.
We think you will agree that all of these boundaries are based
on safety, common sense and common courtesy. We also believe
that all of our residents want a safe and pleasant living environment.
Safety in the Neighborhood: Please - No Open
Burning
We understand that leaf and trash clean up can be onerous,
but please remember that open burning of leaves or trash or
both is not permitted in the Estates of the Salisbury. The
ban is for the comfort and safety of everyone living in the
Estates. Of course, this is not meant to ban outdoor grills,
smokers, barbeques, chimeneas and similar outdoor equipment
used for leisure enjoyment.
Walking Your Best Friend
One of the many pleasantries of living in these gorgeous mountains
is enjoying a leisurely walk with your pet. Beautiful trees,
fresh air, friendly waves from your friends and neighbors,
and listening to the birds sing instead of your phone ring.
Norman Rockwell couldn’t ask for more. The only downside
is that you must please remember that walking your dog requires
you to remove any "gifts" that your dog leaves.
Sadly, this is one of our most common complaints. In addition
to being common courtesy, you are subject to a fine for each
violation. So please remember to prepare for litter removal
by taking a waste bag with you before you start your stroll.
Changes to Curb Appeal & Landscaping
Please remember that any major changes to the curb appeal or
landscaping of your property must be submitted to the board
for approval before such changes are undertaken. Of course,
minor landscaping such as clean up or the planting of spring
flowers are certainly permitted, but substantial changes require
approval. This is certainly true if you plan to change any
grade on your property or modify water runoff. Again, this
is to protect the neighborhood as a whole, we are not trying
to simply impose our sense of aesthetics.
Parking on the Street
Please be aware that parking on the street should be the exception,
rather than the rule. Of course, from time to time logistics
or weather require street parking. When this occurs, please
do your best to park on a shoulder side of the street, even
if this means parking across the street from your home. Please
ask anyone visiting or working for you to follow this guideline
as well. And under no circumstances should you leave your car
parked in the middle of the road. Again, please be courteous
and think of your neighbors.
