IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS !

Thanks to all of you that helped decorate our sign, fence, and postal unit.

I hope all of our members and residents have a happy and safe holiday season.  Just remember all decorations should be representative of the season and be in good taste. The Association has adopted rules that cover all seasonal decorations, not just Christmas. Please insure that you follow the rules and have a safe and joyous holiday season.

I have reprinted the rules below.



Seasonal Decorations:
Seasonal decorations (lights, yard art, etc.) such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc. shall not be installed more than 30 days prior to the event and shall be removed within 14 days after the event.  At no time can any decoration be mounted on the roof of a unit. 

1. Seasonal decorations (lights, yard art, etc.) shall not be installed more than 30 days prior to the event and shall be removed within 14 days after the event.
2. At no time can any decoration be mounted on the roof of a unit.  This includes Santa Clause, reindeer, sleigh, etc.  Seasonal decorations also should not be in the way of mowers or anyone maintaining common area.
3. Decorations may be placed in the mulch area or in the common area immediately in front of the unit.  If placed in the common area, when removed, the area must be left in its original condition.  No extension cords should be placed across the sidewalk or in the common area.
4. Residents are encouraged to add lights on the bushes in front of their homes.  Lights may be all white or multicolored.  White lights are preferred but multicolored lights are fine also.  They may also be added to porches, front area, posts and around doors, but NOT on the roof.  Also these must be attached with removable attachments.  Nothing may be nailed or screwed to any part of the exterior.
5. No commercial type decorations such as inflatable Santas, snow globes, etc or large colored solid type figures will be allowed.
6. However, figures (such as reindeer, etc) made of wire and outlined in white lights will be acceptable.
7. Spotlights to accent decorations may be used provided they are white or clear (no colors)
8. The HOA board will make provisions to decorate the light posts in the greenway areas, postal unit, front fence and entrance sign.

Christmas Decorations Donations

The Board has been approached to place Christmas decorations at the entrance and on the front fence.

We even have volunteers willing to do it!

What we don't have is enough money or decorations to do it right.

So, how about donating some money for the cause?

Just send your check to the The Gardens at Heritage Green CAI, 800 Callaway Court, Chattanooga, TN 37421.


Thanks for your interest and help.
