Click here to read about the new trash and recycling regulations.

Basically, everything you set out to the curb for collection by Rizzo needs to be inside a container and it has to be covered with a lid.  Plastic bags containing trash or recyclables may not be set out on the ground.  They must be inside a closed container.

The only exception is a recycling tote bin.  If you use a tote bin, all recycling items must be enclosed inside a clear plastic bag, which is securely tied and then placed in the tote bin.

Clear plastic bags for the recycling items can be purchased at Home depot, Lowes and other similar stores.

Lombardo Homes to construct 47 new condos in the Manors at Central Park

The members of the Board of Directors of the Manors at Central Park Condo Association are pleased to announce that Lombardo Homes, Inc., through their "Blue Heron Communities, LLC" subsidary, has purchased all of the 47 vacant lots in the Manors that had been owned by the Carpenters Pension Trust Fund.

Lombardo Homes also acquired the rights to use the building plans for the duplex and detached,  ranch-style models that had been constructed in 2007 (refer to the existing duplex units at 49831-49847 Lexington West and the detached unit at 50156 Regent); these and ten other units were built by Sable in 2007 but completed and marketed by Lombardo Homes in 2008-2010). It is Lombardo Homes' intention to keep the exterior appearance as close as possible to those units when building the remaining 23 duplex buildings and the 1 remaining detached unit. The building codes have changed since 2007, so there will have to be some changes made to the interior plans of the new units.

Lombardo Homes is currently projecting the first quarter of 2015 for the start of sales, but that is very tentative and could slide.

Lombardo Homes already owned Manors Unit #1 at the corner of East Broadway and North Central Park and they have recently begun construction on that "site condo".  This will be a "spec" home similar to those just to the west and it will be marketed through their Lancaster at Central Park subdivision sales office, which will likely occupy a model that will be built on North Central Park near the Genisys Credit Union.   Lombardo Homes intends to install and pave the interior streets in Phase II of this subdivision before the end of this year [Lancaster site plan].

When the new construction and sales are finally complete, the Manors will have a total of 166 units, fourteen of which will be "site condos".
