Park Glen Heights. A residential community in Annandale, Virginia

PARKING UPDATE...HOURS EXTENDED THROUGH JUNE 30, 2018

New Towing Hours

A great part about living in our community is we make the rules! For example: parking. The Board discusses something about parking at nearly every Board meeting. For those who attended our Annual Meeting in September – we even discussed it there!

Currently, Dominion Towing enforces towing from 9:00 pm to 7:00 am daily. However, based on the feedback at the Annual Meeting and a full assessment of the available parking spaces, starting November 1, 2017, the towing times will change to 11:00 pm to 7:00 am on a

trial basis until June 30, 2018.

So, your guests can have one more cup of coffee and a little extra dessert before leaving.

BULK TRASH IN THE COMMON AREA

Please Review

The PGH HOA Board of Directors and management have taken note of the

continuous dumping of unwanted furniture. The Association does provide bulk trash

removal as part of the trash removal contract with American Disposal Service.

Trash Info

Trash is picked up on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Recycling is picked up every Tuesday. Even with these two pick-ups, trash continues to accumulate in our community, especially behind homes.

Trash should be kept in heavy duty plastic bags and must be kept in sturdy covered containers – not in cardboard boxes.

Trash containers must be stored within the dwelling property line until the scheduled trash pick-up day and brought back within the property line on the same day as the trash is picked up.

You (the homeowner or resident) are responsible for cleaning up any spillage of his/her trash.

Got a LARGE Item for Pick-up? Please contact American Disposal to arrange for a special pick up at 703-368-0500 at least 24 hours in advance for large items behind your fence/property dwelling line.

A Mess!

PLEASE Keeping Our Community Clean + Healthy!

PGH is a very welcoming community. However, it’s best not to be quite so inviting to critters. There are hungry raccoons, mice, rats, snakes, deer and foxes who live nearby and are loving our community.

As a community, we need to do all that is possible not to have these creatures visit. They carry numerous diseases seriously harmful to adults, children and our pets.

So, what can we as a community do?

STOP leaving out food and scraps for hungry critters
RETURN your trash cans to the inside of your property on Tuesday and Friday afternoons
KEEP all recycling and trash bins in your backyard until Tuesday morning

On Sunday morning, I walked the neighborhood to find examples of this everywhere. Please check behind your back fence and bring the trash inside.

NOT ALLOWED!!! NOT ALLOWED!!!

Have A Say! Join the Board!

Hi Everyone!

At September’s Annual Meeting in 2014, I was overwhelmed when voted on by the community to be Park Glen Heights’ new President. My journey into Park Glen Heights began in January of 1994 – more than twenty years ago. Over these years, I’ve participated in the Board on and off, but never as president. It’s impossible to understand all that’s involved in running a great community, like Park Glen, until you are part of this process.

From contracts…to tree maintenance…to collection issues…to architectural requests…to snow, we are a busy community. When the clock strikes 7:00 pm at our monthly meeting, we are off and running. Take a look at our website minutes to see what was discussed at our previous meetings. (www.pghhoa.org) You’ll be surprised and thankful. It’s a fabulous opportunity to participate in your immediate environment.

Parking accessibility is always a topic of discussion. Did you know there are only enough parking spaces for every homeowner to have 2 cars? You might see empty spaces, but then there are those packed areas of lower Cliffhaven + Overlook Park. So, if you live an area where it’s tough to get a space, think about parking in a less packed section of the community. Consider it exercise!

Questions? Please contact me…pres@pghhoa.org.

Judy Meehan, President
Park Glen Heights Homeowners Association

News from CFM

CFM Management has various options to pay your monthly HOA assessment -- monthly coupons, direct debit, credit card, e-check or Bill Payer. See here for all details!

CFM Payment Options

Reserved Parking

The Board of Directors received a request by one of our neighbors for a reserved parking space. During our August meeting, we reviewed the request and granted a reserved space on Upper Cliffhaven.

The space is being marked as “Reserved for Permit #178” and is for the exclusive use of this permit. Our towing company has been instructed to tow any vehicle with a permit number other than #178 from this space.

Granting a reserved parking space is a first for our community. Future requests will be reviewed by the Board on a case-by-case basis. We are well aware of the sensitive nature of parking and the limited number of spaces available. And, will give any future requests the same thoughtful review.

Updates to Painting Your Home...

Posted on Sep 10th, 2016

The PGHHOA’s Board attended training at the offices of the Association’s attorney this Summer. During the training, we were informed the following regarding the painting of homes in the community:

- Homeowner's whose properties are currently in good repair with regard to painting, but have out of date colors, cannot be required to repaint them to the new color palette.

- When an owner chooses to repaint or it becomes necessary to repaint – due to peeling, cracking, fading, or other forms of disrepair – a color from the color palette in place is to be selected. The color chosen is then noted on an ACC Exterior Change form and submitted to PGHHOA’s Architectural Control Committee for approval.

Of course, if you sell your home, it will need to be brought into compliance with all of the PGHHOA ACC Guidelines.

With several homeowners planning to paint their homes this year, the Board felt it was important to share this information.

Remember from now on, all ACC requests (ACC Exterior Change Request Form) are to be sent via:

-- email to: ACC@pghhoa.org or --

-- regular mail to: Park Glen Heights HOA, ACC, PO Box 1706, Springfield, VA 22151 --

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at pres@pghhoa.org.
