Trash Receptacle for Pet Waste ONLY
Thank you to all the residents who are helping to maintain the cleanliness of the area by picking up after their dogs as well as the "street" litter.

This can is NOT for household waste. Please do not throw your household trash in the bin as it fills up the can preventing others from using the can as intended. Be a considerate neighbor and use your own receptables for disposal of your trash.

Please make sure that you are picking up your dogs’ waste when walking them around the property. Not only is it unsightly and disrepectful to everyone in our community, it is a health hazard.

Roof Replacement Shingles -
The Board has approved Certainteed Landmark architectural shingles in the color of Colonial Slate for roof replacements. If you are replacing your entire roof please use the newly engineered architectural shingles.

For repair of existing (3--tab) shingles, our homes have Certainteed Slate Gray 3-tab fiberglass shingles.

REMINDER - If you are replacing your roof, please first fill out an architectural request and submit along with your contractor's certificate of insurance to the Association for approval.

Spotted Lanternflies -
Our community is heavily infested with the Spotted Lanternflies, an invasive species native to China and southeast Asia. The PA Department of Agriculture and the USDA are working with numerous universities including Penn State, Cornell, Rutgers and others to find a way to eradicate them. The Spotted Lanternfly is creating a great deal of harm to local farms. They feed on fruit trees, ornamental trees, vegetables, herbs and vines as well as some hardwood trees. In our community they are attracted to the maple trees. When feeding on the sap, they excrete a sugary substance that promotes growth of a sooty mold, which can weaken and kill plants or trees over time. The "bug poop" is also making a mess of cars and attracting bees.

Unfortunately, until the experts find a solution any treatments are merely temporary and extremely expensive. The adult Spotted Lanternflies can fly over from adjoining properties and will lay eggs on vehicles.

At this point the experts are advising residents to kill the bugs and if you see the egg casings, to remove them. The Penn State Extension website has information on the Spotted Lanternfly ( https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly)

If you are interested in coordinating a meeting with the Board of Directors or attending a meeting, he will be happy to facilitate this.
