2 President’s Message May 2019

As you heard via our In The Know e-newsletter I was honored by being elected president of the Four Colonies Board of Directors. I want to thank and recognize my predecessor Linda Khan-McKibben for the great work that was achieved during her tenure. In other news, installation of the walkway lighting should be completed by mid-May. That project has been a long one, but we all will enjoy the lights for many years. Going forward, I encourage all homeowners to be pro-active in the care of our grounds. This could include scraping mud and dirt from the walkways after a rain, removing debris from storm drains, piling tree limbs near the curb or walkways for easier pick up by our staff or lawn service, and picking up trash –particularly after trash day when wind can spread items from our bins. Larger tasks will continue to be handled by our maintenance staff and lawn service. In those cases, homeowners should continue to call and alert the office. Lastly, I regularly walk the grounds, so if you see me, please say “Hi”. Bob Burgdorfer President, Four Colonies Homes Association —————————————————————————————————————————————

Collection will be made on the following MONDAY dates:

Please have your paper bags or 18” x 36” bundles out by 7:00 am

Thank you for choosing Republic Waste Services for your Trash, Yard Waste and Recycling needs. We appreciate

your business and look forward to a great year.

All Yard Waste items must be packaged in paper lawn waste bags or tied into 18’ x 36” bundles.

Route Service begins at 7:00 a.m. Please make sure all items are easily accessible from the street.

We only pickup natural yard waste including grass, leaves, tree limbs, flower or garden plants

(without their pots), walnuts, apples, Christmas trees (6’ or less), etc. All materials collected are taken to a licensed

compost facility. This recycling facility does not allow for ANY trash, landscape, or construction materials. If bags

contain trash or foreign material they will have to be left at the curb. Any plastic inside your bag will be considered

trash and not picked up. We do NOT collect animal waste. Please tie brush securely with rope or twine – not wire.

Mark bundles of thorns for the driver’s safety. Christmas Trees are the only items that do not require bagging or

bundling. We will accept Christmas trees up to 6’ in length, if larger please cut in half.

Maximum item weight is 50 pounds. Do not use plastic tape on paper bags since it is not

biodegradable. Small cardboard boxes may be used provided they are no larger than the size and weight limits. We

suggest boxes for fruits, small brush, wood or items that would easily break a bag during removal. We ask you to not

use cans for your waste.

Thank you for your business and compliance with our guidelines

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL APPROVAL

IS STILL A REQUIREMENT!!!!!!

Architectural Control Approval is required before any permanent exterior change is made. This would include the

removal of a fence, the removal of trees, the addition of trees and shrubs, basically any addition, or removal or

replacement.

If you are planning to rebuild a deck or a fence in the same way it is currently designed, it is still necessary to get

approval.

Architectural control helps to ensure that changes will fit in with the aesthetics of the surroundings. The look of your

home impacts the look and value of your neighbors home. The reverse is also true; what your neighbor does to the

exterior of his home impacts your home value. The Architectural Control Committee works hard to quickly approve

homeowner requests.

YOU NEED ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL APPROVAL BEFORE BEGINNING

ANY EXTERIOR CHANGES TO YOUR HOME!!!!!!!

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL FORMS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE OFFICE IN CLUBHOUSE 2

AND ON THE WEBSITE AT www.fourcolonies.net
