Tidbit!

There are 19 Dog Waste Stations installed in Ashburn Farm.

For 2008:  10 Cases or 60,000 trash bags have been used by homeowners to pick up and dispose of waste. 

 

Tidbit: State Roads & sidewalks along those roads in the County are maintained by the VA Department of Transportation.  Non-state roads and sidewalks (i.e., townhome areas are maintained by the Homeowner's Association).

  

 

Several new signs have been placed around the community.  Above, signs bringing attention to graffiti will be placed in those areas hit the hardest by this kind of vandalism.

 

 

 

NO dumping is allowed on common areas at any time. This includes grass clippings, mulch, composting, rock, trash, etc.. by either residents or any contractors.

 

Lighting checks are performed in the townhome sections and the parkways at the end of each month.  Non-working lights (repairs and bulb changes) are forwarded to a company contracted by Ashburn Farm Association for this purpose.  The lights are repaired during the first 10 days of the next month.  Please keep this in mind when calling in a light that isn't working.  The light will not be repaired outside the contracted schedule.  This schedule helps to keep lighting repair expense down to a minimum.

Tree Removal Policy From Ashburn Farm Common Areas

 

All trees reported to the Home Owners Association will be identified and inspected as soon as possible.  A determination will be made within 48 hours of that inspection on how to proceed with the identified tree. The resident who reported the problem tree will be made aware of the decision. Residents not satisfied with the decision have the right to appeal to the Board of Trustees at their next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

The Ashburn Farm Association will not remove any tree or limb that is considered to be “alive”.  It is the right of the homeowner to prune any branch or tree at their property line that is rooted in the “common area” and extends onto their property.

 

The Ashburn Farm Association will only remove trees that are on “common area” which is Association property.  All other removals are the responsibility of the homeowner.

 

The Association will not remove trees that do not pose imminent danger to passers-by, or near by personal property.

 

Any tree that is deemed by the Association to be an imminent danger,  or inundated with Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, or Poison Sumac and designated for removal, will be removed as soon as possible by an experienced, licensed, and insured tree removal company contracted by the Association. 

 

If a tree is within a maintained “common area" and is dead or contains dead limbs - but poses no serious threat to life or property - the tree will be removed as part of the Ashburn Farm bi-annual tree removal schedule.

 

Trees removed from "natural tree save areas" will not have the stumps removed.  The stump will be cut as closely to grade as possible.

 

Trees removed from maintained “common” ground will have the stump removed as the Association budget allows. When possible, all small debris will be chipped and disposed of by the contractor.  In the natural tree save areas, large logs and limbs will be “blocked” up and left lying flat on site.

 

Only trees that are within the boundaries of the maintained “common areas" will be treated for pests.
