Please beaware, however, that property owners who violate this rule will be held responsible for any damage done toTcce's or outside contractor’s equipment due the violation of this rule.Please note that this includes the easements. Many people park at the top of their driveway, however, the associationhas a 10 foot easement along the front of the property and cars are not to be parked in that easement.THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORECED AS PARKING ON THE ROADWAYS CREATES A MAJOR HAZARDSNOW REMOVAL PROCE-DURESEvery year we go through thesame thing when it comes tosnow removal. When are thetrucks sent out? When do wecall for backup? Why aren't’ there salt and cinderson the roads yet? I just shoveled my drivewayand the plows put more snow in my driveway.When it snows, we follow a procedure for plowing,calling in backup and cindering. Our trucksstart plowing when there is an accumulation of 2”of snow and they continue to plow until the snowstops, making sure the main roads are openedfirst and then working on the side streets. Ifthere is a call for a large snowfall, like what happenedon October 28th, we call for backup. Wehave three employees on staff who can operateour equipment and we have two backup contractorsthat we call in when needed. As was thecase in the recent snowfall, we had two of ourtrucks out during the daytime and then we hadone of our trucks out at night along with bothbackup contractors to get the roads and the sidestreets opened.AFTER the snow has stopped, cinders and salt willbe put down. Salt cannot be put on the dirt roadsas it will turn them to mud, therefore, the dirtroads are cindered and the paved roads aresalted.As for the plowing over thedriveways, please understandthat this happens wherever youhave snow removal as the roadwayshave to be widened. Theplow trucks cannot turn theplow every time they gopast a driveway.Calling the office and yellingat the office staff, oryelling at any of the maintenancestaff over snow removalmay result in a violationof Article VI, Section Iof the Rules and Regulations.One final note on snow removal.Our maintenance staffcannot open property ownersdriveways.
