10 Ways to be a Great BHHCA Member
(and keep on
your neighbor's good side)
|
1. |
Do Not park your car on the street or your yard. All vehicles must be parked in a garage or driveway. Street parking is only allowed for temporary guests for a few hours.
|
| 2. | Do Not
block the sidewalks with parked cars. You'll be much loved by
neighborhood moms with strollers. Besides, it's illegal!
|
| 3. | Keep your dog(s) in a fenced yard or on a leash. Jefferson County has a leash law. 91.002 RESTRAINT REQUIRED "All animals shall be kept under restraint at all times as defined in this ordinance, and any deviation or violation thereof is strictly prohibited." You can see the law here. If you have a complaint about a pet, contact any Board Member. You can also call Jefferson County Complaints and Stray Animal Pickup at 502-363-6609. Also, If you walk your dog(s), clean up after your dog(s) during neighborhood walks. Your dog might want to leave a gift, but it isn’t the type your neighbors want. |
| 4. | Keep
your front yard free of toys, swimming pools and bicycles.
Curb appeal means a great deal to prospective home buyers in our
subdivision. Nobody wants to live next door to a daily yard sale.
|
| 5. | Pay
your BHHCA dues on time, by April 30th. Nobody likes to be hassled over money
or have to hassle someone over it. Your dues pay for street lights,
the entrance signs,
as well as the maintenance of common areas.
|
| 6. | Maintain
you home and yard.
Tall grass and weeds
encourage insects and rodents to homes. According to BHHCA
Declaration and Jefferson County Ordinance, lawn maintenance is
required and can be subcontracted. In other words, if you
don't cut your grass, the BHHCA
or Jefferson County
will have it done for you at
your cost. It may also be subject to fines by the County.
|
| 7. | Get to know your
Neighbors.
Watch out for your neighbor’s
house. Know when they will be out of town. Watch out for any
strange activity going on in the subdivision. We can all watch
out for each other and make this a safer place to live. Keep
garage doors closed, doors/windows locked at all times, and
outside
lights on at night.
|
| 8. |
Get to know your Board Members. Most problems can be handled among
neighbors, the BHHCA doesn't have to use heavy-handed tactics to
resolve a dispute. It's always better when you work it out
yourself. If you can't resolve an issue with your neighbor,
contact any Board Member to help out.
|
| 9. |
Don't build anything without checking the BHHCA Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Nobody wants to see a two-story barn next door and you don’t want to build any structures or other "improvements" that violate the Declaration (deed restrictions). This can be avoided if everyone checks before they build. The Declaration is on this website and recorded in the Public Records of Jefferson County.
|
| 10. | Read
the BHHCA Declarations and By-Laws.
You can't follow the rules
unless you know what they are. They are on this web site and
recorded in the Public Records of Jefferson County.
