Snow Clean Up

Good afternoon residents. Due to the late start today after last night’s storm, the snow contractor has advised that they will do parking lot cleanup for buildings 4900-5400 and 8200-8500 only. They will be clearing walks, stairs and driveways first and then parking lot cleanup for these buildings will start around 1:15pm today.

***All other buildings and all guest spaces will be done tomorrow starting at 9:00am. Please have your cars cleaned off and ready to move. We will notify each building by email and text and also by blowing a horn when it is time for cars to move from each section. Please do not move from your lot unless notice has been given that your lot is next. Moving prematurely only creates congestion and leaves less space for people to move to when their lot is being cleaned. Buildings 5500-6000 will be first tomorrow morning starting at 9:00am.

Thank you all for your cooperation throughout this process. It’s almost spring time! 🌻

Potential Snow Storm Feb. 24/25

Good afternoon residents. It looks like winter isn’t quite done with us yet as we’re expecting another storm tomorrow night into Friday. It’s still a little early to know for sure what the time frame of this storm is but it’s looking like it should be ending late afternoon on Friday. If that’s the case, parking space cleanup will not be until Saturday. However, please plan ahead now as cleanup could be on Friday if the storm ends early enough and of course depending on how much snow actually falls.

Red flags will be placed on the main strip to indicate no parking tomorrow evening and throughout the storm. Please do not park on the main strip when the red flags are up on the light poles. The strip needs to be kept clear of snow for the duration of the storm.

The snow contractor has advised that they will do cleanup of the parking lots first and when they’re done with all of the lots (and depending on how late in the day it is), they will do visitor spaces. If they do not get to visitor spaces on Saturday, they will return on Sunday to clear the visitor spaces.

When we have more information we will send out another email but for now, this is just to let everyone know to be prepared for the cleanup and make arrangements now to have your cars moved if you will be unable to. The updated information will also be posted on the website.

Thank you and have a great day.

Food Drive March 12th

Food Drive March 12th 10:00am – 12:00pm: The Beekman Cub Scouts will be organizing a food drive within North Side HOA for donations to the local food pantries. In the next week or two, the Cub Scouts will be dropping off paper bags to each unit. If you have any non-perishable items to donate, please place them in the paper bags and the Cub Scouts will then pick up the bags on March 12th between 10:00am and 12:00pm. You may leave the bags outside your door for pickup. Last year’s food drive was a success so if you have anything to donate, please do so. It’s for a good cause.

Recycling

Recycling: When disposing of recyclables into the recycle bins, please make sure all cardboard is broken down and any bottles, cans, etc. are loose in the bin. If you place a plastic bag full of recyclables in the bin, it contaminates the whole bin and Royal Carting will throw everything away in the trash. This defeats the purpose of the recycling bins. Plastic bags cannot be disposed of in the recycling bins.  If you have a bag of recyclables, please open the bag and pour the contents into the recycling bin. The bag then has to go in the dumpster.

Dumping

This is another reminder that dumping of bulk items is not permitted at or in any of the dumpsters on the property. There is a monthly bulk dumpster for bulk items.

It was brought to our attention that someone dumped a BBQ grill, a mattress and boxes at the 6400/6500 dumpster. If you dumped these items, please remove them and dispose of them elsewhere.

If anyone was a witness to who dumped these items, please let us know. Your report will remain confidential.

Unfortunately, the cost to clean up these items, unless the person who did it removes them, will have to come from the HOA dues that everyone pays each month which is not fair to those who properly dispose of their trash.

Landlords, please make sure your tenants are aware of the rule regarding dumping on the property. Thank you in advance and have a great day.

February Bulk Dumpster

The bulk dumpster for February has been confirmed for drop off on Thursday, February 17th. It will be picked up the following morning on Friday, February 18th at the top of the hill just past 7100 building.

As a reminder, items not allowed in the dumpster:

  • Items containing Freon (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners)
  • Tires
  • E-waste (computers, TV’s stereos etc.)

Please make sure all items are INSIDE the dumpster and BELOW the top of the dumpster. Royal Carting will not take away anything on the ground and will not take anything that sticks out above the top of the dumpster. It cannot be transported with items hanging out of the top.

If your item does not fit for any reason, please wait for next month’s dumpster or dispose of it yourself at Royal Carting’s drop off location.

Ice Storm Update

Good morning everyone. We just spoke to the foreman of the snow company – They have been out salting the roads and stairs throughout the night and will continue until the precipitation stops. However, due to this type of the storm and the temperature outside, there will be icy conditions. Please use caution when outside and if you don’t have to go anywhere, please stay inside. We’ve been told the roads and highways are bad as well.

Have a great day and please let us know if you notice any areas of concern.
