Spring weather has finally arrived – Yeah!
As summer approaches, more of us will be cooking out on the grill. We must remind you of the city fire regulations which specify that NO barbeque grills are allowed in or on patios or decks.
· Also, the grills must be at least 10 feet away from any building and should be away from overhanging branches/structures.
· In addition, only charcoal briquettes or lava type briquettes are to be burned.
· Please keep children and pets away from the grill area and be courteous of your neighbors with regard to open windows and smoke from your grill.
· Never leave the grill unattended.
· We want everyone to be safe and enjoy the outdoor cooking season.
· Picnic tables will be placed in designated areas in early to mid-May.
Spring Cleaning – Yes, it’s time to wash all the dirt and salt off the cars!
The car wash area will be open as of April 27th We estimate that this will happen in Mid-April. We ask that residents refrain from parking in the car wash area so that the space can be used solely for washing cars. Please keep radios to a minimum and be sure to shut water off and place hoses back on the racks. Also, please observe social distancing guidelines when using the car wash area.
Garden Plots
The garden area will be ready for planting by Memorial Day weekend. Residents may begin to sign up for a plot in May. If you want the same plot as last year, please indicate that on your sign-up sheet. Sign-up sheets will be available on the credenza in the clubhouse. We will do our best to accommodate your plot request but due to limited space this is not always possible. We look forward to a great summer of gardening!
Health & Safety Notes
Occasionally we like to remind residents about matters of courtesy and safety so that all members of our community stay safe and can enjoy the property equally. Please keep the following in mind:
· Do not prop building doors open or allow strangers access to your building. The security door and system are there for the protection of you and your neighbors.
· We do not permit soliciting so if you happen to encounter solicitors or suspicious persons in or around your building, please contact the rental office immediately.
· For all the walkers and runners out there, it is safer to walk/run against traffic so that you can see what is approaching. Please wear reflective clothing at night!
· Residents should lock and secure their vehicles at all times. Do not leave any personal or valuable items in your unattended vehicles.
· Since spring has arrived, children will be riding their bikes and playing outside on a daily basis. Please keep this in mind as you are driving and respect the 15-mph speed limit. Children should play in designated play areas – only!
Service Requests
Since the number of Covid-19 cases have diminished, management has rescinded the “emergency only” maintenance restrictions. Maintenance personnel may now enter apartments to perform routine maintenance requests. Staff will continue to wear masks in buildings and in apartments.
Pet Policies
Our Alton Woods community is “pet friendly” and we welcome new pets, but there are rules and regulations that need to be considered before acquiring a new or additional pet.
Not all of our buildings are “pet friendly” so it is extremely important that you obtain permission from management before deciding to get a pet.
· There are weight and breed restrictions for dogs, and you may not have more than 1 dog, or a maximum of 2 cats per apartment, without special written permission from management.
· Current pet fees for cats are $20 per month per cat. A dog would be $30 per month.
· Combinations of pets are not permitted.
· Birds, fish, reptiles, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc. are not permitted.
· Renter’s insurance is required with any pet and all pets are required to have shots, and be neutered.
· All pet owners are responsible for the pick-up and clean-up of their pets AT ALL TIMES.

Bird Feeders
We know many residents enjoy feeding the birds but, as Spring is here, we ask that feeders be removed so that residents can enjoy their patio & balcony areas without having bird seed littering their areas. We are also experiencing a lot of squirrels and other rodents that are attached to the bird seed causing more rodent issues. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Clubhouse Rentals
The Clubhouse in now open for residents to rent-out for small functions. The price per day is $50.00 with a $100.00 refundable damage deposit. Call the rental office at (603) 224-4701 for availability and reservations.
