On Monday, August 29th (weather permitting) a contractor will be installing conduit under Sweet Birch Terrace near the intersection with Augusta Dr. Unfortunately, it was not possible to drill under the street, so they're excavating it.

This requires closing that section of the street. While the street is closed, please use the next entrance (Vermont Maple Terrace).

If the weather cooperates, the closure will only be on the 29th.

Letters are going out to everyone on Sweet Birch and Southern Magnolia.

As you're likely aware, this morning the National Weather Service issued a blizzard watch for our area. A few quick notes about snow removal:

  • Cars parked on the street obstruct snow plowing. If possible, please do not park on the street when snow is anticipated.
  • Snow plowing in the town home areas is done by the HOA's contractor. They generally do not plow storms less than 2", and may do several preliminary plows before the snow stops. The goal while snow is still falling is to keep the streets passable for emergencies. Final snow removal, salting, sand sanding may not begin until a few hours after the snow stops, and the goal is to get the streets fully passable, not to clear them to blacktop. Please send any concerns to management (540-751-1888) and/or the board.
  • Snow plowing in the single-family home areas is done by VDOT. The HOA has no control over it. Status of VDOT's plowing can be seen online at VDOT Plows They can be contacted online or via 1-800-367-ROAD.
  • Clearing the sidewalk in front of your house is your responsibility. Per county ordinance, this is generally supposed to be completed within six hours of the snow stopping (check the ordinance for exceptions).

At the December meeting, the Board reviewed bids for the grounds contract and selected Advantage Landscape Services as the finalist, pending a satisfactory walk of the community. On Monday, January 18th, the Board and Grounds Committee are joining a representative of Advantage for that walk. During the walk, we will be discussing Westerley's requirements and the services they provide.

The walk begins at 11:00AM on the 18th. We'll meet up in front of the pool house. Walking all the grounds will take several hours. After the walk is finished, we'll find somewhere to sit down for a recapitulation and make sure we're all on the same page after the lengthy walk.

As this is a work session, it is open to residents. While management informs me there isn't an open session before work sessions, we'll be happy to hear limited comments from any neighbors who care to join us, as long as it remains productive.

A rain/snow date has not been selected. Cancellation and/or rescheduling will be posted to the web site and discussion list.
