hot news fresh from the gate houseWANTED!!
Property owners to serve on CLV committees. The Board is pleading for owners to step up and get their feet wet by serving on a Committee. A special request this month is for additional volunteers to serve on the Rules & Regulations Committee. Susan Loucka, the Chairperson, says this committee is one that values "common sense" ideas in regards to Village issues. What a fantastic means to obtain a free education as to how your association governs the use of property in the Village.

BACK GATE
Owners may now use your gate cards at the rear gate. Please contact the Christmas Lake office if you encounter any problems.

Chipping Completed

It's fall and the Maintenance staff has officially closed "chipping" season at Christmas Lake Village for the property owners' brush in 2011.
Dan Lautner, the Head of CLV Maintenance, reported that the only "glitch" in his plans was that his crew preferred the piles to be shorter and spread out over a longer stretch of the owner's road frontage. He preferred longer branches as opposed to shorter. Always leave an 8' long branch in lieu of cutting the branch in half. Amazingly, they can chip branches up to 6" in diameter.
"The chipping service is a process, meaning that the crew, with the chipping machine in tow, travels the streets of Christmas Lake Village in search of neatly stacked piles of tree branches. This was done over a 2 week time period, and they visited each subdivision twice.

Next year, the service will once again begin in the middle of October.

A message from Property Manager, Mark Kroeger

Thoughts and observations from some things I have seen or heard…

I keep hearing about a 10 year old who is joyriding around the Village in a golf cart with his little sister. Off road vehicles are not to be used on Village roads or common areas. This includes off-road motorcycles, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers, and golf carts in most circumstances. Golf carts to and from the golf course, operated by a licensed driver, with a “slow moving vehicle” triangle on the back are OK. A concise statement regarding off road vehicles will be placed on the website soon.

The rules and planned uses for the CLV chipper are located on the website (www.clvillage.com) under the “rules” link. Limbs for trimming need to come to the road. The chipper is large and difficult to maneuver.

Please be considerate of the gate officers at the front entry. Numerous cars come through the gate daily and it is not possible for the guards to know everyone and their guests by sight. If you do not have a current sticker, the guard may ask who you are. Tinted windows can also be a sight hindrance. In these circumstances there may be a short delay. It also helps if you call the guard before your guests arrive.

Fishing rules are posted on the website. To access those, go to the rules link.

The Covenants & Restrictions state that an owner shall provide adequate off street parking facilities for the vehicles of all occupants of each residence. If you are parking cars on your lawn, you will probably be hearing from us. Large vehicles, like semi tractors, are likewise restricted. Oversize vehicles are to be shielded from street view or stored in the storage facility. Contact the office for space availability.

I wonder how many of the large satellite dishes that are out there are still in use.

The speed limit remains 25 MPH.

Why is there so much trash on Village roads?

Why are the roadside drainage ditches clogged with mowed grass?

Do not hesitate when the back gate opens to let you into the Village. It is on a timer and will hit your car if it is in the way.

The Village is a beautiful and unique place to live. We can all help keep it that way.
