City Ordinances
do not allow more than 72 consecutive hours of parking on any city street. The covenants of subdivision do not allow
homeowners to park on the street.
All homeowners must have space in their garages or driveway (not
blocking the sidewalks-against city law to block thesidewalks) for all
vehicles. Homeowners not observing this
rule will be contacted by the association or if blocking thesidewalk, could be
towed at the owner’s expense by the city.
The Board has the right per the covenants to assess fines to those
that do not follow this ordinance.
·
No recreational
vehicles of any type (trailers, boats, etc., or semi trucks) are allowed in the
subdivision parked on the street or in the driveway per the rules of the
covenants. They must be housed in your
garage if kept at your property. You may temporarily park a recreational
vehicle, trailer or semi truck for loading, cleaning, or maintenance only. The
Board has the right per the covenants to assess fines to those that do not
follow this ordinance.
·
Please pickup
all pet droppings when walking your pet in the subdivision. This is a courtesy to your fellow homeowners and
a city ordinance as well.
·
Please note all
posted signs at the 3 subdivision lakes—catch and release all fish caught in
the lakes so that we do not have to restock the lakes; homeowners and their guests
only and ice skating is at your own risk.
Please do not leave your children unattended while ice skating. It is asked that you be home when you have
guests fishing, and make them aware of the rules of the lakes and please do not
move fish from where caught.
·
The “lakes”in
the subdivision are actually retention ponds, so lakes are chemically treated to
keep down the algae since they are not fresh water fed. Therefore, swimming is
not allowed, but you may have a small boat for fishing or recreation. Please do not drink the water, and wash your hands
after fishing or playing at the lake for precaution.
·
If you desire
to add on a structure to your home, such as a fence, addition, sunroom, or similar items, please remember to contact the
architectural committee chairperson for submission of your request to build in
the subdivision.

for lake lots. These are payable by October
1st of each year. The fiscal year runs
from October 1 to September 30th of the following year. Please do not pre-pay your dues so that the

a question, a concern or to volunteer their time. The
board will give a response within 30 days of receipt of the letter.
·
A subdivision
newsletter is sent out 4 times per year, with other mailings as needed.
·
The subdivision
hosts an all-subdivision garage sale in the Spring (usually
May) and in the Fall (usually late August or early September). The homeowner’s dues paid for the 2 large signs
that are posted the week of the garage sale, and they also pay for an
advertisement to be placed in the Champaign-Urbana News Gazette. All homeowners are welcome and encouraged to participate. Notice of the event will be distributed via
the subdivision web page, a flier and/or in the subdivision newsletter.
·
Please do not
pick up the rocks along the lake banks and throw them at the animals living in the
vicinity. The decorative river rock is
very expensive to replace so we ask that it remain along the banks. Your cooperation is appreciated!
