Clifton Mill Community 2023 Spring/Summer Reminders
YEARLY MAINTENANCE
Now that spring is right around the corner, it is time to perform annual fence, deck, and exterior home maintenance. Maintaining fences, decks and our homes’ exterior plays such an important part in preserving the aesthetics of the community and the value of our homes.
Under the direction of your Community’s Board, the management company will be doing site visits the 2nd week of April 2023 to ensure that all properties are being maintained in accordance with your community’s guidelines. You will be notified by mail of any non-compliance findings regarding your home or property and will have through Sunday, July 9, 2023 to bring these issues into compliance.
“Be the Inspector”, Take a walk around your home and using the check list below, identify problem areas and establish a plan to make sure the items are addressed by July 9th.

STREET PARKING !!!
PLEASE REMEMBER – Your vehicle, while parked in your driveway should not hang over the sidewalk as this creates a safety hazard for those using the sidewalk. No parking in Cul de Sac areas between the No parking signs. This is monitored by the BTPD and violations will result in ticketing and towing.
PET WASTE & CLEAN UP STATIONS
Please make sure that you pick up after your pets. Recently, there has been an increased incidence of individuals NOT cleaning up after their pets. Please be responsible and help keep the community looking nice for everyone. There are pet waste stations throughout the community for your convenience, please utilize them. Take only the disposal bag you need to ensure that there are enough bags for everyone in between restocking of the station. All excrement must be removed from the common grounds immediately. Excrement cannot be placed in sewers or wooded areas for health reasons. Fines will be incurred if these guidelines aren’t followed.
Please remember that your neighbor’s yard is not a “pet” stop. Pet urine is very damaging to grass and no one wants areas of dead/yellow grass in their front yard. Be thoughtful as your walk your pets.
