Homeowners are encouraged to water landscaped areas including shrubs, trees and grass (when permissible by county and state water conservation authorities).
Homeowners are permitted to plant flowers, bulbs and perennials in existing front and side planting beds.
Vegetable and fruit bearing plants and trees and vegetable or fruit gardens are not permitted. Small containers of decorative vegetables or fruits are permitted on the Unit Owners deck or patio only. No material for such plantings is permitted to grow over the edge of the deck. No trellises.
Additions or changes to the landscape package at the front of the home must be approved by the Board of Directors.
Unit Owners are responsible for maintaining all items they plant in a neat and attractive manner, including planters and baskets. All dead material must be removed and/or replaced in a timely manner. If the Association landscaper must be asked to clean a poorly kept bed, the Unit Owner will be assessed the cost of such service.
Digging
Homeowners must call the PA One Call System, at 1-800-242-1776, prior to excavating any area. The Commonwealth will then send a representative to mark the location for underground utilities. Homeowners may then dig 18-inches outside of any marked area.
Drainage
There shall be no interference by any Unit Owner with the established drainage pattern over any Common Facilities within the Property. For the purposes hereof, “established” drainage is defined as the drainage which exists at the time the overall grading of any Lot is completed by Declarant in accordance with the Subdivision Plan referred to above. For a period of five (5) years from the date of conveyance of the last Unit to a Unit Owner, the Declarant reserves for the benefit of itself, the Builder and their respective successors and assigns, an easement of access on, over and under the Units to maintain and to correct drainage of surface water in order to maintain reasonable standards of health, safety and appearance. The Declarant shall give timely notice of intention to take such action to any affected Unit Owner, unless in the opinion of the Declarant an emergency exists which precludes such notice.
