Copper Grove February 2020

PLEASE LIMIT STREET PARKING ON TRASH DAYS
To help avoid trash not being picked up, please do not park your vehicles
in the street on Trash days (Wednesday and Saturday). When multiple
vehicles are parked in the street, the truck is unable to get through. Thank
you in advance for your assistance with this matter.
WATER USAGE
The website eyeonwater.com lets you track your water usage. You will need
to sign up with the district ID, a dash and then your account number as the
account number on the signup screen. These numbers are on your water bills.
DOGGIE DON’TS
Most of our dog owners are responsible, using a leash and picking up
after your pets. We thank you! HOWEVER - We have received reports of
dog owners allowing their dogs to defecate and urinate in yards. This is
especially a problem in high-traffic areas near park entrances. Be aware
that it is not just your dog. Once a yard has been “used,” other dogs want
to do so as well. A resident should not have to pick up after even one
dog, much less ten. In addition, runners and walkers in our parks don’t
enjoy dodging excrement. Please carry a bag and pick up after your pet.
Remember also, that even the sweetest dog may seem intimidating to
some people. Respect their rights and comply with leash laws.

TRASH DAYS
Garbage pick up occurs on Wednesday and Saturday.
HOW DO WE LOOK?
Curb appeal has a big impact on your property value, even if your home
is not for sale. Buyers evaluate the neighborhood, not just one house.
Stand back from your house and take a close look to see if it needs a
mini-makeover. Think about security as well. Has your shrubbery become
overgrown, covering windows or blocking the sidewalk? Do low-hanging
limbs obscure the front? Does the lawn have brown areas or weeds? Is
the siding mildewed or paint peeling? You may want to ask a friend’s
opinion; it is easy to overlook things we see everyday. Make plans now to
spruce up. Cars that are parked in the street are also a turn-off to buyers.
Make the extra effort to keep cars in the driveway. It looks better and is
safer for your neighbors and your car.
MOST COMMON DEED VIOLATIONS
The Volume of letters sent regarding Violations continues to be an increasing
expense for the Copper Grove Home Owners Association. All expenses
incurred including postage to mail out fines, weigh seriously on the
assessments paid by each homeowner. We request your compliance to help
keep cost to a minimum and to keep our community as attractive as possible.
TOP 5 VIOLATIONS
1. Leaving trash cans out in public view.
2. Not maintaining your yard.
3. Not maintaining your fencing.
4. Not maintaining your paint on your house/or mold on the siding.
PET OWNERS
Please be mindful to keep all dogs on a leash when walking them, to
keep the community safe. Also please be respectful of your neighbors
and clean up after your dog.
HOMEOWNERS
Please DO NOT TAPE FLIERS of any kind to our metal fencing. It removes
the paint when the tape is pulled off. Thus they we need to be painted
before they start to rust.
