It appears that winter is not yet over and according to the weatherman we could be receiving another round of snow over the next few days. Therefore, this email is just a reminder to all Willowbrook Farm residents about snow related requirements.

As stated below, Section 31 of the Willowbrook Farm Homeowners Association Covenants requires each homeowner to keep their front sidewalk reasonably free of ice and snow. 

Section 31. Sidewalks.

Each Owner shall install a sidewalk in the road right-of-way adjacent to his Lot and shall maintain, repair and replace such sidewalk in accordance with the requirements of the Municipality and the Association. Each Owner shall keep the sidewalk reasonably free of ice, snow and debris.

In addition, The City of Novi has a similar ordinance regarding the removal of snow

Sec. 33-688. Sidewalks to be cleared.

The occupant of every lot or premises adjoining any street or the owner of such lot or premises if the same are not occupied, shall clear all ice and snow from sidewalks adjoining such lot or premises within the time required in this section. When any snow or ice shall cease to fall during the daylight hours, such snow or ice shall be cleared from the sidewalks within twelve (12) hours after such cessation. When a fall of snow or ice shall have ceased during the nighttime, it shall be cleared from the sidewalks by 6:00pm of the following day.

In an attempt to make sure Willowbrook Farm continues to be a safe subdivision to live in, we ask that you adhere to the above ordinances. Failure to comply with the above ordinances will result in a ticket from the City of Novi as well as a fine from the Willowbrook Farm Homeowners Association.

Also, please make sure you and your visitors do not park vehicles in the street.  Parking vehicles in the street impedes street snow removal by city snow plow trucks.  Please park all vehicles in the driveway.

Finally, we have had so much snow this year that the snow piles in front of each home has greatly reduced the width of every street and entrance within the subdivision. Parking vehicles in the street makes it difficult for traffic to flow in an efficient manner and increases the likelihood your vehicles could be damaged by moving vehicles. Also, please make sure you do not exceed the posted speed limits on subdivision streets. Excessive speeds on snow covered streets can and will cause possible spinouts and accidents.

Thank You For Your Cooperation… And Hope For An Early Spring!
