Snow Removal

Snow Removal is a three part responsibility shared by the City of Frederick, the HOA, and the Home Owners/Residents.

City Responsibilities…

The City of Frederick is responsible for clearing the roads through the development.  This includes the travel lanes in all 4 courts.  However, residents may not shovel snow and/or ice into the travel lanes for removal.  Doing so may result in the city failing to clear and/or keep clear the travel lanes.

If you have questions, comments of complaints about city snow removal please contact the Department of Public Works.

HOA Responsibilities…

The HOA hires a contractor to remove snow from the shared sidewalks.  The money to pay for this service comes from dues paid to the HOA by the Members.  If at the end of the season there are un-used funds in the snow removal budget, those funds are transferred into a special snow contingency fund.  This fund can then be used in the event that above average snowfall in later year(s) creates a need in excess of the funds allotted in the annual budget.

The HOA is responsible for clearing the following sidewalks and paths as well as the areas around the mailboxes…
The sidewalk along Orchard Way on the side closest to the development.
The sidewalk along McCain Drive on the side closest to the development.
The path connecting Horizon Drive to Apple Way.
The path connecting Apple Way to Blueridge Court.

If the sidewalk in front of your property is not cleared within 24 hours after the snow fall has stopped, the property owner may be assessed a fine by the City of Frederick. 

Residents may not shovel snow and/or ice into the travel lanes for removal.  Doing so may result in the city failing to clear and/or keep clear the travel lanes.
