3rd Parking Passes
BLUE passes for 3rd vehicles are only
allowed to park in restricted, designated locations. Th is policy is
enforced to allow your neighbors to use spaces closest to their
townhomes. Please respect this policy and your neighbor’s right to park
their 2nd vehicle near their home.
Third parking passes may be revoked if the vehicle is not parked in a
correct location. A blue 3rd parking pass may only be used in specified
areas of sections 1 and 2. If you have a question about where to park
your 3rd vehicle, call ECM.

boxes, brown bags)

Prior Approval is Always Needed
for Variances
Please be aware that you may not alter the exterior look of your home
without first filling out a
variance
request. AECC approval is needed prior to doing anyhome repair
projects i.e. new windows, siding, a new roof or front door, painting
(you must use association approved colors), new deck, fence,
landscaping…etc.
All changes/updates must be submitted in writing and approved by
the AECC (Architectural/Environmental Control Committee). All exterior
home materials such as vinyl, windows, paint color, lighting, etc.
should fall within the AECC guidelines or have an approved variance on
fi le. Download a request form and review the Timbers Rules and
Regulations on our website.
NOTE: White is NOT an approved color in any section of the
Timbers, except for original replacement of white gutter and downspout
on sections 3 & 4. Remember, all requests for variances must be
submitted and approved by the AECC before you start, a process that can
take several weeks.
Timbers Trash Policies & Reminders
You must call American Disposal Services to
schedule disposal
of all heavy or large items including but not limited to
appliances and furniture. There may be a disposal fee required
as the HOA does not cover this cost. Certain items such as
tires, paint cans and electronics will not be picked up. To
arrange for a pick up of any large items call 571-292-5510.
• Remember to place trash in heavy duty trash bags or a trash
can. Do not place loose items in open boxes or plastic bags.
• Trash must be placed in front of your individual home - not
in common areas. Those residents in violation are now
receiving fines.
• Residents must remove their trash containers from the front
of their house within 24 hours after trash pick-up.
• There will be no make-up schedule for missed service due
to weather. Trash, recycling, and yard debris collections will
resume on the next regularly scheduled service day.
• Yard Debris: American Disposal will not be collecting yard
debris after December 31.
• Set recycled trash out only on Thursday mornings. You
must label your trash can, lid, and recycle container with
your house number clearly marked.
