Let’s hope that spring is finally here. With at least the coming of springtime weather, it’s a great time to consider doing some spring cleaning. It has become alarmingly clear, now that the snow and ice are all melted, that many pet owners have not been picking up after their pets. It is astounding how many pet owners take the lazy, irresponsible way out and just allow their pet(s) to defecate on the sidewalks, and in the grass and just walk away from it. I wonder how they would feel if someone let their dog poop on their patio or balcony? They would be very upset and would be the first to call management and want something done about it. Wouldn’t they? Well, letting your dog poop on common area grass is like letting your dog poop on 164 different people’s front yards. Remember this is a condo association and every owner owns 164th of the common area. So when you see a pet owner letting their dog do it’s duty on the grass, and they don’t pick up after it, you should be upset. Don’t let those people get away with it. Say something to them, in a nice way, but for gosh sakes, don’t let them get away with it. I really think, some pet owners think that if no ones actually confronts them, then they aren’t guilty and have gotten away with it. So I say, politely confront them and remind them of the rules and common decency. PARKING LOT ISSUES Recently, Management has been made aware of several issues concerning the parking lots. The first is the lack of common courtesy when parking. Management would like to remind residents that parking is first come first serve and to please be courteous to other residents who park in the lots. The second issue concerns parking between the tic marks. When parking, residents should pull into the space and properly align their vehicle between the tic marks. Please do not park your vehicles in between two spaces. ******************************************************************* FREEZING UP - If we have another cold spell. If you have plans to go away for an extended period of time this winter please remember some of the following tips. 1) Leave your unit’s heat on at a moderate setting. 2) Leave kitchen and bathroom sink cabinet doors open to allow the heat to reach your pipes. You may also want to allow water to drip from your faucet to allow water flow to continue. This reduces the risk of your pipes freezing. 3) Provide a neighbor with a key in case emergency access is needed to your unit. Thank you for your cooperation this winter season. ******************************************************************** SPEEDING VEHICLES Recently management became aware of some residents who speed while driving through Spring Ridge. Management would like to remind residents that this is very dangerous and also illegal. Residents should use caution while driving through the entire community, but especially at cross walks and intersections. Anyone who sees a speeding vehicle is requested to contact the Frederick County Sheriff’s office at 301-694-1046 to report it. Thank you. ******************************************************************* UNMOVED VEHICLES** Management would like to remind residents who have vehicles parked for a period of thirty (30) days or longer must be reported to management by calling 301-620-0782. Thank you for your cooperation.
