Roadway Maintenance

Workers finished the last of the asphalt paving at
around 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 4th.

The Association's Board of Directors recently contracted to have two catch basins rebuilt and approximately 220 feet of access drive replaced in front of 6915-6979 North Central Park.  This work took place over the past two weeks and was completed today. 

The asphalt needs to harden for three days before it will be safe to drive upon. In the meantime, affected residents may park along the north side of the North Central Park roadway.

Groundwater Sampling

Every three months Ford Motor Company has a subcontractor come on-site to take groundwater samples from the two monitoring wells that are located behind 50119 Lexington West.  The next such sampling is scheduled for Monday, July 27, 2015 and their subcontractor has requested and received permission from the Board to enter the premises.

Their subcontractor, Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA), has recently merged with GHD Services Inc. and their corporate name has been changed to GHD.

Therefore beginning with the July 27th groundwater samplings, the crew's trucks, hard hats, etc. will be marked "GHD" instead of "CRA".

2015 Municipal Water Quality Report

Shelby Township issues a report every year regarding the safety and quality of our municipal drinking water.  The report is called "The Pipeline" and you can read the 2015 edition by clicking here.

Page 3 of the report discusses "Area Maintenance Meters" and suggests that all lawn watering take place between midnight and 5 am.  All of the municipal water used for lawn irrigation here at the Manors is supplied through "Area Maintenance Meters" and thus is not subject to any sanitary sewer charges.  Because of the large areas involved, we cannot confine all of our lawn irrigation to those recommended 5 hours, but be assured that when watering is required, our controllers are programmed to keep every water meter in use during those 5 hours.

Fireworks

Reminder - fireworks are not allowed on the limited or general common elements of the Manors at Central Park Condominium Association, which includes all of the land, sidewalks, driveways and streets.

The Association is a private, non-profit corporation that is registered with the State of Michigan.   The Association, through its Board of Directors, is responsible for, among other things, the management, maintenance, operation and administration of the common elements.

Article VII, Section 1, paragraph (c) of the Manors at Central Park Condominium Bylaws states that,

No unlawful activity shall be carried on in any unit or upon the limited or general common elements, nor shall any unreasonable noisy activity be carried on in any unit or on the common elements.  No member owning any residential unit shall do or permit anything to be done in his unit or on the common elements that will increase the insurance rate on the Condominium without the written approval of the Association.

The Michigan Fireworks Safety Act PA 256 of 2011, Section 28.462 - as well as Section 26-160 (c) of the Shelby Twp. Code of Ordinances -  state that fireworks may not be used on public property, school property or the private property of another person unless express permission is obtained to use the fireworks on that property.

Section 26-163 of the Shelby Twp. Code of Ordinances states that first-time violators shall be deemed responsible for a municipal civil infraction and subject to a fine of not less than $75.00 and not more than $500.00.

Shelby Twp. "Leash Law"

From the Facebook page of the Shelby Twp. Police Department:
***From the Chief's Desk***
Now that the weather has broken, DC Coil would like to remind our residents about our "leash law". According to Shelby Twp. Municipal Code, animals are not permitted to run freely or be "at large" on any property, public or private, except your own.
We get recurring complaints from residents about people letting their dogs run free in the parks and neighborhoods. When in the parks or walking on any sidewalk or roadway, animals MUST be leashed.
First violation of this ordinance will result in a written warning. Second violation is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Let's look out for our friends and neighbors, and keep our furry family members safe as well!
Posted by Shelby Township Police Department on Thursday, April 30, 2015

As a reminder, the streets, access drives, sidewalks and landscaping within the Manors at Central Park are general common elements belonging to the Condominium Association.  As such they are private property and the Association does not allow anyone, including our co-owners, to let their pets run freely or be "at large" on our property.   Unattended pets - even if leashed -  are not permitted to be kept on the common elements, limited or general.
