Dear Residents.

The Shores Club and Fitness Barn will be closing early today, Tuesday, February 11th, at 2:30 PM due to anticipated inclement weather this afternoon and evening. We will assess conditions tomorrow morning to determine operating hours for the day. Management will be working remotely during this time.

Snow Removal Reminders:
Our area is expected to have between 4-8 inches of snow starting this afternoon through tomorrow. 

Private Streets

The HOA or Master Developer is responsible for snow removal on all private streets, which includes townhome, condos, and private alleyways.

All other streets within the community are public state-maintained streets and VDOT is responsible for snow removal.

Public Streets

Residents on public streets (single-family homes) should note that VDOT prioritizes snow removal as follows:

1. Interstates (e.g., I-95, I-66, I-495)
2. High-volume routes (e.g., Route 1, Prince William Parkway)
3. Main neighborhood thoroughfares (e.g., Potomac Shores Parkway, Potomac River Blvd, River Heritage Blvd.)
4. Residential streets
5. Cul-de-sacs

Please refer to FAQs here

VDOTs stated goal is to make all roads passable within 48 hours of the storm’s end. Residents are encouraged to report conditions directly to VDOT by calling 1-800-FOR-ROAD (1-800-367-7623) or using their plow status tool at www.vdotplows.org.

Street Parking

• To assist snowplows, please move any vehicles parked on the street onto your driveway or garage during snow events. 

Sidewalks

• Please note that VDOT does not clear sidewalks.
• Homeowners are asked to please clear the sidewalks adjacent to their homes, as well as their driveways. 
• Homeowners are also encouraged to clear the sidewalks adjacent to their mailboxes so that mail delivery can be completed. 
• The HOA will only clear sidewalks at the Shores Club and Woods Rec Center.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!! 
The Trails Committee welcomes you to join us at 9:00 AM on Saturday, March 15 for a hike that will cover three of our newest trails.
 
We will meet at the South Hawkins Trailhead at the end of Sugarberry Road.  We will hike the length of that trail, then cross River Heritage Boulevard and pick up the Timber Branch Trail (TBT).  This trail will take us to the Possum Nose Loop, which will eventually circle us back to the TBT.  We’ll take the TBT back to River Heritage Boulevard, then road walk back to our cars.  The full walk is approximately 2 1/2 miles and should take roughly two hours.
 
Please note that these trails are a little more challenging than the Northern Trails, with some steeper ups and downs.
 
To RSVP, please send an email to jordan93016@icloud.com with the following info:
 
1. Names of hikers
2. Ages of any children
3. Your cell number
 
We are happy to answer any questions you may have—same email address (above).
 
We look forward to hiking together on March 15!!!
 
Happy Trails!

Dear Residents,

We will be conducting light inspections in the coming weeks to help maintain the community’s appearance. We kindly request that each homeowner checks their exterior lights to ensure they comply with the community guidelines stated below.

Exterior Lighting
A well-lighted porch is a critical element to the neighborhood streetscape. As such, all homes must have at least one porch light and one exterior door light. One of the required lights must be on a photocell.

Single Family Detached Lots
– Porch Lights are required, either as wall-mounted carriage lamps flanking the entry door or ceiling mounted.
– At least one building-mounted decorative light(s) shall be provided above garage bays.

Single Family Attached Lots
– All homes shall have two (2) building-mounted lights.

Townhomes
– All homes must have one (1) building-mounted light.
 
Seasonal Decorations
We understand that the cold weather and recent snowstorms may have delayed some homeowners in removing holiday decorations. As a reminder, holiday lights and decorations must be removed within 14 days after the holiday. 

We appreciate your cooperation and attention to this message. If you have any questions, please reach out to Karinna Zappala at KZappala@cmc-management.com.
