Frequency Asked Questions

Yes, of course, but you’ll need to make an appointment first so that we can allot a specific time for you within our agenda. You’ll find details on how to make your request HERE.

That depends on what kind of change you’re making. Painting your shed is one thing, but building a new one is something else entirely. You’ll need approval from the Board in writing for any substantial changes you want to make to your lot—new buildings, additions to an existing building, etc. Schedule “A” in the BYLAWS has all the details. Email the Board with your plans for the change and we’ll get back to you. If in doubt, please contact the Board first to avoid any potential issues.

Yes, but please book the hall in advance to avoid disappointment.  There is a $50 charge for private events to cover costs such as septic use. You can submit a Hall booking request HERE.

Only standard household garbage is allowed in the dumpsters. No construction materials, please!  Never put firepit ashes in the dumpster—this can ignite a fire in the dumpster and also in the garbage truck. This has occurred in the past so please be careful! Ashes should be put in a metal container and stored in a safe place to cool before disposing of them.

The area by the garage dumpster often has USEFUL items (our own version of Value Village) left  for reuse of your neighbors. If it does not work do not leave it there, put it in the garbage. This is not for bikes with no wheels or lawn mowers with no wheels or old satalite dishes or out dated propane bottles or etc…    These items should all be taken to the landfill. If it is not house hold garbage that you would put at the curb on garbage day at home then please take it to the dump.

 Please keep our garbage to household only.  Below are alternate options
