Happy Spring Orchards Members!
We hope you are having a nice start to your spring after such a long winter. You will notice some
“spring cleaning” of our own in the neighborhood including fire lane painting, street sweeping, and
removal of dead/dying bushes at the Silverthorn entrance. Thank you for your cooperation by getting
cars off the road and being patient while work was being done. It was greatly appreciated!

The Board would like to take the time to remind Orchards members about important spring related
duties per household.
*Yard of the Month will begin again in May! Nominate a yard you feel is well-kept and nice-looking.
It doesn’t have to be “fancy”. Please note that if we get put on water restrictions that YOTM will be put
on hold as in past years
*Please take note of the NO PARKING signs and street labeling in addition to the red stripes
throughout The Orchards to avoid being ticketed or towed. As a reminder, one side of every street and
all 3 cul-de-sacs in our neighborhood are fire lanes.
*As per the bylaws, garbage cans need to be placed in front of the curb to keep the sidewalks clear.
Within 24 hrs of garbage cans being picked up, they are to be put on the garage side of your home or out
of site.
*As per the bylaws, all grass must be mowed/maintained weekly. Weeds must be mowed down when
they get 4” high so that they do not bloom or produce seeds. This applies to all yards, beds and gravel
areas on the lot. Weeds in sidewalk cracks should also be removed.
*As per a recent bylaws amendment, dogs (and any other walkable animal) must be restrained on a
leash when being walked or behind fencing. We have had a lot of dogs wandering the neighborhood so
please be vigilant. Picking up after your furry friends would be helpful as well.
*Guest parking in the overflow parking area is limited to 72-hours.
*The speed limit is 20 MPH in our neighborhood. Please slow down and watch for children playing.
