SPRING NEWSLETTER

TO ALL ALPINE VILLAGE OCCUPANTS

Spring Cleaning

Your Strata Council wants our complex to really sparkle this spring and summer.

I am sure that you have already notice that Alpine Village maintenance staff has already started by sweeping the parking lots and removing gravel and debris left during winter. Jacques and Ralph and the management would like to express our thanks for the assistance and cooperation provided by the occupants.

The beautification of our complex will continue and the continued cooperation of residents is welcome and always appreciated. We would like to take this opportunity to request from all occupants to take the time to clean their front and backyard in April from all detritus, garbage, etc and dispose of them properly. We are providing you with a garbage bag for that purpose. Once done, kindly leave the bag by your front lawn and our maintenance crew will dispose of it.

Vehicle and Parking

In regards to vehicle parking, storage and maintenance, etc., I take this opportunity to remind to all some of the points covered in our bylaws.

- Each unit is entitled to ONE parking only. We expect the occupants to use their proper designated parking so that visitors parking can be used adequately.

- Visitors parking cannot be reserved and are on “First come, First serve” basis.

- NO VEHICLE MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS can be done in the parking area or in your parking stall.

- We have noted recently that several vehicle owners are not respecting the “No Parking Area”; the “Fire Lane Zone” or are parked in other resident’s parking spot contrary to bylaws and posted signs.

- As you know some vehicle owners were allowed to park their vehicle by the storage shed during winter for various reasons. However, it is now time to move them out of the neighbourhood or to put them on the road. ALL OWNERS OF THE SAID STORED VEHICLES SHOULD MOVE THEM OUT BY APRIL 30. ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE IN ROAD WORTHY CONDITION AND PROPERLY INSURED. Vehicles left on site after May 1, 2007 will be towed away at the owner’s cost and expenses and disposed of.

- Please respect the SPEED LIMIT of 10km/hr.

Pets and Public Health

With spring at our doors, everyone wants to get out of the house including our pets (cats and dogs). This brings me unfortunately to a very smelly subject. Although most pet owners are responsible and reliable, there are still some who let their pets wandering freely around the neighbourhood and allowed them to leave their business card where ever.

Alpine Village Management and Maintenance is now using CAT TRAPS in order to reduce the number of wandering cats in the area. We have also requested the assistance of the City Bylaw – Animal Control to remove wandering dogs. I remind you that pet owners are responsible for their pets and are responsible for cleaning up after them.

We remind you that Occupants and Residents are responsible for their visitors and should advise them accordingly.

Finally, we are asking all Residents and Occupants to contact Claude DesRoches, Office Strata Manager or Jacques Gagnon, Superintendent to report parking matter to the Strata Office at 561-1926. Any occupant can contact directly the towing company “5 Star Towing” at 614-9393 to remove any vehicle illegally parked in their parking area.

Thank you all for your cooperation in making OUR complex safer and more secure.
