Request and Expectation of the Board
to Observe Trash and Garbage Requirements
Oakbrook Townhouses, Inc.
March 9, 2020
Your
Oakbrook Townhouses Board considers a pleasing “face to the community” to be an
important value to its members for aesthetic, social, and economic
reasons. Indeed, the Declaration
of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions specifically reference the need to maintain the “harmony
of external design” of the community.
The
CC&Rs also require that “all rubbish, trash and garbage shall be regularly
removed from the properties and shall not be allowed to accumulate thereon,”
and that all refuse containers shall be prohibited upon any lot, unless
obscured from view of adjoining lots and streets.
Our
members have periodically complained of garbage and
trash
containers being left in, and adjacent to, the driveways of some members beyond
the usual pickup days. The complaints
reflect a concern by members that the Oakbrook Townhouses CC&Rs are being
ignored, to the detriment of its members.
This
communication is to re-state the request, and expectation, of the Board that all
members store their trash and garbage containers in their garages at all times
except for the few hours before and after scheduled trash and garbage pickup,
generally occurring early on Monday mornings.
Failure to do so will be considered a violation of the CC&Rs.
To date, the Board has not received, nor approved, any
requests for approval of a trash container structure (or any structure, for
that matter) in the common area to the front of the units, and has treated, and
expects to continue to treat, any such structures or other modifications to the
front of the units without prior Board approval as a CC&R violation.
The Board appreciates all members’ cooperation on this matter.
Ken
Karch, PE
President
