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.
