Limb Pick-Up

Due to the high winds many of us have a larger than average need for our Spring Limb Pick-Up. The process will begin the week of April 9, 2018 .

All branches should be at the curb by 7 a.m. on April 9 with the cut end toward the street, being mindful to keep the walking path as clear as possible. No stumps or other yard debris will be collected. Anyone living near a GCA Common Area is invited to help out by bringing fallen branches to the curb. There will be one pass per residence and each Common Area by the GCA contractor. Please be ready!

Living in a Natural Setting

Yes, we are fortunate to live in a beautiful environment, but at times “Nature” can be overwhelming. Buzzards are not welcome guests! Therefore Frank Keplinger will be setting off “Buzzard Bombs” or a variety of loud noises to try to intimidate the buzzards. We will try our best to send out an email blast prior to the pyrotechnics, warning you and not the beastly buzzards!

An up-date to the goose control around Glen Lochen Pond. The dogs seem to be helping quite a bit, not perfect but helpful. Therefore expect another “litter” of doggies to arrive soon. They will be placed around other goose areas.

Humans and their pets… We can try to control the buzzards and the geese, but only you the pet parent can control your pets. We are aware that many of the walkers in our community are finding that not everyone accepts their responsibility to “pick up” after their pet. Please respect our community and use the Doggie Dooty Stations - if you need to carry the “treasure” home or to the next station please do so. Do not deposit in a neighbors trash can, or at any of the golf course restrooms. If everyone picks up then the environment is ever so much more enjoyable for all!

Learning More About the ARC

In the know with our ARC guidelines. Periodically each home owner needs to check their own property as it relates to the current guidelines….we offer this quiz to help you evaluate where your property rates using our current requirements.

Which of the following must be buried or screened from the view of others in our community? Choose the best answer:

A. Propane tanks

B. Garbage and Trash cans

C. HVAC units

D. All of the above

Pertinent guidance from Glenmore Architecture and Landscaping Guidelines:

Fuel tanks or similar storage receptacles may be installed only within a main building, accessory building or buried underground. Propane tanks for grills that are hand carried off site for replacement or refill do not have to be buried, but will be treated as a part of the grill.

All outdoor HVAC units and trash receptacles must be visually screened from the golf course, street and neighbors with a solid stained or painted picket fence as illustrated on Attachment 4; or a similar architectural element approved by the ARB. The ARB/ARC will review placement of these units to ensure that there screening conforms to community standards. The HVAC unit screens must be painted or solid stained.

The answer to the quiz is of course D. All of the above.
