WHEN WILL MY DRIVEWAY BE PLOWED AND WHAT ARE MY RESPONSIBILITIES AS A HOMEOWNER?

  • Driveways and sidewalks will be plowed with snow accumulation of 3 inches or more.

  • The Residents understand that plowing may not clear the area to "bare pavement" and that slippery conditions may continue to prevail even after plowing has occurred.

  • The Residents understand that the Contractor assumes no liability for this naturally occurring condition.

  • The Residents understand that snow plowing, by its very nature, involves pushing a steel blade over the surface of the pavement.  Evidence of this may include scratches or marks on the asphalt.

  • If your pavement is defective, deteriorated, weakened, frost heaved, or, was installed improperly, the results of this previous damage are more likely to appear after snow plowing. Contractor is not responsible for any damages to pavement for these reasons.

  • It is the Contractor's policy to stay a minimum of (1) one foot away from garage doors and all vehicles parked in the plowing area.

  • If a vehicle is blocking the area to be plowed, the Contractor will only plow the open portion of the plowing area.

  • If the Contractor is called back to plow the remainder of the area where vehicles or debris had been in the way, the HOA will be billed for additional charges.

  • The Residents are responsible for any damage to obstacles that protrude from the surface of the pavement that are not clearly marked. This includes utilities such as water shut offs, electrical boxes, sewer vents & clean outs and any other obstacles on or within 12" of the pavement.

  • The contractor will exercise reasonable care to avoid damage to pavement, grass, trees and shrubs.  However, the contractor is not responsible for any;
    a.) Damage to landscaping caused by the piling of snow.
    b.) Damage to items that are snow-covered or not visible.

  • It is the Residents responsibility to install marker stakes along driveways to help protect the lawn and other property from plow damage.  If marker stakes are not installed, Contractor is not responsible for any lawn damage.
