Storm Water Issues

There is a need for Residents to perform periodic maintenance (removal of debris) of their storm water drainage ditches. *

 Areas of concern

  • Street ditches in front/side of our personal residences

  • Street culvert(s) under our driveway(s)

  • Non-street (side and rear areas) storm water drainage waterways.

Things to do (remove debris)

  • Rake leaves and remove them from the property.*

  • Move leaves into your lawn (small amounts are good nutrients for your lawn)

  • Keep culverts clear of leaves, branches, yard trash gravel and dirt.

  • Control weed and grass growth by trimming, brush mowing, poisoning or pulling.

  • Pick up sticks/branches and yard trash (especially plastic bags).

* PPHOA by-laws do not permit burning of yard waste.

  • All homes in Park Place were originally constructed with cedar shake roofing shingles.  Although aesthetically attractive, cedar shakes are not as durable as asphalt shingles, are far more costly than asphalt shingles, and are more expensive for fire insurance purposes than asphalt shingles.  A survey of all Park Place residents showed that over 90% wanted to have the option to use dimensional asphalt shingles (also known as architectural shingles) when replacing their roofs.  Accordingly, Park Place homeowners may now, subject to review and approval by the Architectural Control Board, install appropriately colored, high quality dimensional asphalt shingles.

  • Please remember that the Declarations of the subdivision require that all such projects be reviewed and approved in writing by the Architectural Control Board before construction begins.

    “All” really means “all” and includes replacing a cedar shake roof with non-shake shingles, re-painting using a substantially different color, major changes to exterior landscaping, as well as building additions and exterior remodeling.

    The officers of the Homeowners Association comprise the Architectural Control Board.

    The Architectural Board tries to act quickly on requests to approve plans, but please give us at least 10 days to review your project – do not expect us to be able to approve your plans instantly because “the contractors are arriving tomorrow.”

    If you are building an addition or changing the external appearance of your home or property, please talk with your neighbors before submitting your plans.

    The purpose of the Architectural Board’s review is not to second-guess your aesthetic taste or unduly limit what you can do with your property, but to maintain a relatively consistent set of standards for the neighborhood as set out in the Declarations.
