   Two speed bumps were installed on Sleepy View Lane in August. These bumps were in response to home owners complaints of speeding vehicles.

   We ask everyone to please drive slowly through our community. (Our bylaws state the community speed limit has 10 mph). Other speed bumps will be installed with future repaving project.

   For everyone's safety and the health of your auto be aware of these new speed bumps.  Thank You

 

   The boards thanks everyone for their cooperation during our repaving project on Sleepy View Lane. Carla Court and Carbondale Way. The project was complete with no issue and no vehicles towed.

    A special thanks to Karen Wine and Tom Morris who organized and planned the stripping plus monitored the operation from dawn to dusk.

   Thanks also to Patty Spencer for her help in obtaining parking at the pool, Tracy Milne and Marie Robinson for helping distribute flyers, informing neighbors plus other items.

 

 

 

 

    On Monday August 16 hearing were held at the Lorotn library.  Notices went to 31 units. 8 home owners had completed repairs after receiving their notices. 10 additional units were granted extentions.

   A per diem fine of $10 retroactive to July 1 is being assessed to the 13 units who failed to respond or appear for the hearings. These per diem fees will continue up to 90 days or till the violations are corrected.

   On October 1 any unit still in violation will have their parking revoked and thier vehicles will be towed at their expense.

 

Please lock your cars and hide all valuables. S.P.D has reported an increase of auto breaks-ins in neighboring communities.

 

 

The TOSCA board urges all residents to report suspicious activity to the Springfield Police Department at once. Our community's safety is everyone's responsibility.

 

Our community needs immediate help in watering the 175 new plants that were planted this summer. If your home is near any of these new plants, please help improve our community by watering frequently. We have only a handful of volunteers attending  the entire TOSCA common grounds. The recent hot and dry weather has damaged many of our plants. Please be the unsung hero by helping out. Thank You

 

The community is no longer using the services of A-1 Towing.  Should your car be towed, or someone is parking in YOUR assigned  parking space, (see FAQ) please contact Accurate Towing. at 703-934-1460.

 

The board is aggressively pursuing non-payment of H.O.A. fees and A.C.C. violators by revoking parking spaces. This is proving to be more effective and less costly to our community. We currently have volunteers enforcing our policy. We are targeting spaces and vehicles. If you park in the revoked spaces or are on the list due to non-payment or violations, you will be towed.

If you have completed your repairs or have paid up your account, you must call Cardinal Management to have your parking re-instated.

The townhouse community has inherited some feral cats recently. Feral cats are cats who have grown up and live in the wild and these cats have lost their wooded home due to the major construction along Rolling Road.

 

There is a small group of concerned people in the community who are working to sustain the cats until they can be helped on a permanent basis. The health of these cats has improved immensely and we are hopeful to follow up with immunizations, spay/neuter and shelter. Animal Control is giving advice and assistance.

 

Neighbors be advised:

 

Do NOT put out poison or anything that may be harmful to any pet or creature!

 

Should you wish to help out so as to remedy this situation even faster, please go to our website and email us: townhousesofsaratoga.com. Your contact information will be passed on to those leading this effort.

 

We are looking for volunteers to participate in a Community Watch.  If you are interested and/or would like more information, please contact Tom Morris at 703-455-0135.
