Condo IV – May 2026
Our regular condo IV board meeting is open to all condo IV residents. We’d love to see more Condo IV residents attend our monthly meetings. Please join us and offer your suggestions or ideas. We will need volunteers to assist with our smoke alarm inspections and other projects. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 13th, at 7:00 pm in the library.
Welcome the month of May! May is a month associated with Spring growth and renewal. It’s the last month of Spring! The weather is warming up, and more people are starting to enjoy outdoor activities. More people are walking, and some of our children will be out playing. Please observe the speed limit and drive carefully. Again, I stress it’s important to wear bright clothes in the dark if out walking.
Friendly Reminders:
If your unit has an inside valve that controls the outside water spigot, please make sure it has been turned on. It should remain on for the entire summer.
Barbecues: Please be sure to keep your BBQ at least 10 feet from the building or as far away as possible if you have a smaller patio. Never leave it unattended when in use. Barbecuing with propane or charcoal on the Upper Lamont unit’s balcony is strictly prohibited. Also, charcoal burners and any open flame cooking devices cannot be operated on the sidewalks or common areas.
Tiki torches and fire pits are not permitted in Bretton Woods because of the close proximity to your neighbors and the risk of a fire.
Landscaping: Our landscapers will handle our regular lawn maintenance, seeding, fertilizing, and various beautification projects. The flowering shrubs are pruned and cut after they bloom, usually sometime in July. Also, Ivy and pachysandra are invasive and prohibited.
Reminder: Geraniums, Marigolds and Basil are a deterrent for mosquitos.
Some Deterrents for deer: Plant lavender, salvia, marigolds, coneflowers
The deer love Hosta’s, roses, pansies, and some greenery shrubs.
CONDO IV (Continued) MAY 2026
Reminder: Nothing should be nailed or screwed into the aluminum siding. Also, no plants, hanging vines, or ornaments should be attached or hanging from or on the fences.
Reminder:
There are now separate bins for recycling. Please do not put your garbage next to or in front of the dumpsters. Please put paper products, cardboard, etc., in the bin marked CARDBOARD, and plastics, bottles, and cans in a separate one. These items should not be mixed with the regular garbage. Large items should not be placed in front of the dumpsters but to the side.
