Condo IV – February 2026
As I sit here, writing this newsletter at the beginning of January, the holidays are over, and now we should be getting back to a normal routine. We’ve had a few snowstorms and wishful thinking, I hope it’s the last of it. Let’s hope for mild weather and an early spring. But…just in case, below is a reminder for the freezing temperatures and possible snow.
COLD WEATHER REMINDER:
• Be on the lookout for “Black Ice” and proceed with caution. Keep ice melt near your front door to use as needed.
• If snow is in the forecast, please pick up your door mat. This will prevent damage to the snow blower.
• Upper Lamonts: Please remove any snow that accumulates on your balconies. If you do not clean the snow, there could be damage and leaking to the home below.
• For those who park on Birchwood, you should move your cars into plazas when it snows, so the plows can get through.
• Make sure the hose bib inside your condo is shut off to avoid frozen pipes.
• There is a snow shoveling list of names of people who will dig your car out if you can’t. These names are listed in the back pages of the condo newsletter.
• Remember the walkways are shoveled by the landscapers when we have 2 plus inches of snow.
• Watch for “black ice” and keep some ice melt available for you to use.
Reminder: Keeping a pet is a privilege! Pets are not permitted to roam free outside the owner’s unit. They must be kept on a leash. Please do not leave them on your patio tied on. Also, there is absolutely no dog walking permitted on the golf course. Remember Winter doesn’t mean you don’t have to pick up after your pooch. Please remember to “scoop” it!
Please remember: You may not make any exterior changes to your unit without prior permission from the Board of Managers in your section. This includes, but is not limited to, windows, doors, patios, fences, skylights, and landscaping. Work orders are answered promptly. You can submit work orders online at: http://brettownwoodshoa.org/work-orders/.
Pipes: We are all connected through the pipeline. Please avoid clogging it up for all. Cooking oils, fats, and grease do not belong down the drain; store them in a plastic bag, can, or jar and dispose of them in the dumpster with your trash. Cotton balls, diapers, Q-tips, feminine products, and tissues should not be flushed down the toilet.
