Condo I – December 2025
Welcome to Our New Neighbors!
Amanda Russell & John Colombo – 95 Skyline Dr.
Basement PP 1 – The Condo I basement, located off of Parking Plaza 1, will be open on Sat., December 6, from 1:00 – 1:15 for those needing access. Reminder: Items must be stored in plastic totes, clearly labelled with name, address, and phone number. No cardboard, paper, fabric, upholstery, or wood are permitted. Nothing that harbors mold and nothing flammable are allowed in the basement.
Attic Space – Storage in the attic is not permitted. If you have anything up there, please, remove it.
Gutter Cleaning –Creative Gutters completed the first fall cleaning and tweaking of the gutters. They will complete the final gutter cleaning after the remaining leaves have fallen, sometime in December. Our gutters are cleaned three times a year. Once in the spring and twice in the fall.
New Gutters – Four units in Building 11 received new gutters and leaders.
Tree Work – Weather permitting, Long Island Lumberjack will be working in Condo I on the following dates: Thurs.12/4, Fri. 12/5, and Fri. 12/12. Please listen to the blast calls alerting residents as to which parking plazas and sections of road must be cleared of vehicles in order for work to take place. Any vehicle not moved and in the way of the workers is subject to being towed.
Fall Tree Spraying – Red Dragon Organics applied a 100% organic horticultural oil suffocating the Spotted Lantern Fly and Gypsy Moth eggs, as well as, treating for mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
In addition, they applied a second round of the Yucca Extract solution to help remedy the soil that was contaminated after an herbicide was sprayed at Building 8.
Cutting Edge – Our landscaper put down seed, trimmed our bushes, and started the fall clean-up.
Fire Alarm Inspections – On November 3 and 10, Arrow Security inspected the fire alarms and heat sensors in our units. If you missed the first attempt, you will be notified of a make-up date and will be charged $7.00 plus tax. Those who miss both the 1st and 2nd attempts will be charged $175.00 plus tax.
Sand Bins – We are getting ready for winter weather. Bins of sand will soon be placed at the mailboxes and at the end of some walkways. The sand is for your use. Fill a container and keep it within reach of your front door so you can spread some sand as you walk if you need to go out before the walkways have been cleared of snow and ice.
Winter Preparation
Door mats, solar lights, flower pots, or any other yard accessories should be removed from the areas where snow equipment or shoveling will occur in the event of a snowstorm. These items can be damaged and cause damage to the snow removal equipment. –
Keep some ice melt near your front door to use as needed.
If you are going away…please leave keys with an “emergency person” and notify the Condo/HOA Office as to who has your keys.
Before going away, park your vehicles in a less-used spot where they will not inhibit the snow removal process. Leave the prime parking spots for those staying home.
If you go away for the winter, set your thermostat at 55 degrees in order to prevent frozen pipes.
Please do not cover the handicap parking signs.
Snow – Our walkways are shoveled by the landscapers when we have 2 + inches of snow.
In order to expedite snow removal during a storm, please adhere to the following procedure.
1. Park in a parking plaza. No parking on main roads until after they have been cleared of snow. Only after the main roads have been cleared will plows begin to clear the parking plazas.
2. Once the main road is plowed and the plow has cleared the middle of your parking plaza, you must move your car to the main road so the entire parking plaza can be plowed.
3. When enough parking spaces have been plowed, you may move your car back into the parking plaza.
Hose bibs – If you have the shut-off valve to the outside hose spigot in your unit, please turn it off, if you have not already done so. Remember, the valve on the outside spigot must be kept in the open position all winter in order to prevent water from collecting, then freezing, and the pipe in the wall from breaking.
Vinyl Fences – Please, do not nail, screw, or hang anything that might damage the finish on the fence or do anything else to void the warranty.
Contractors – This is a reminder that contractors may not use our dumpsters, but instead must cart debris away.
Slow Down – The speed limit in Bretton Woods is 25 mph. Please, come to a full stop at the STOP signs.
Head-in Parking Only – Bretton Woods has a head-in parking only policy. Head-in parking prevents exhaust from traveling in the direction of our homes and protects the grass, bushes and other planting from being burnt by the hot tail pipe exhaust. Please inform your family members and guests of this policy. This rule is relaxed when we are expecting a big snowstorm.
Vehicles – Registration and inspections must be up to date on all vehicles on our roads and in our parking lots. Those that are not are subject to being towed. Storage of vehicles is not allowed in our parking plazas.
Handicapped Parking – Those with disabilities who hold a current handicapped parking permit or handicapped license plates may park in designated handicapped parking spots. These parking permits or license plates are valid only when the person with a disability who received the permit or plates is driving the vehicle or is a passenger in it. Those who illegally park in a space reserved for people with disabilities can be subject to fines and/or towing.
This is a reminder that handicapped parking spaces are not reserved. Any guest or resident with a valid handicapped placard can park in any handicapped parking space.
Reminders:
• Please use walkways only. We are concerned with incidents of people tripping and getting hurt. Please avoid walking across the grass and through the wooded areas.
• Bretton Woods offers a number of playgrounds. Please do not set up playground equipment in the common area.
• Your board members are volunteers. If you need to contact one of them, please submit a work order or drop off a note at the clubhouse, and someone will contact you. Unless it is an emergency, please do not call a board member at home.
