To: Hickory Woods Residents,

The Board and our property manager met with Alliance yesterday (12/21/2016) to talk about how the snow plowing is going. During the meeting, we discussed the concerns that were brought to our attention by a few residents and also discussed the Board member views on how the snow plowing is going.

Alliance said that they removed the boards at the ends of the driveways before starting to plow. They are concerned that the board could go flying and damage property. They said that they understand the desire of some unit owner to put the board back, but asked unit owners if they could remove the board from the end of the driveway ahead of future snow storms.

We discussed the timing of the plowing. How long it takes to get your driveway plowed out depends on where you live in the development and where Alliance starts the clearing process. Alliance said that the driveway plowing on Quarry and Pepper Hill Roads takes longer times because these driveways have not received their finish paving. The plowing equipment needs to maneuver more carefully over the rough driveways.

Alliance agreed to alternate the starting point for the plowing between Tavern Hill Road and Quarry Road. So, on average, everyone should experience about the same time from the end of the storm to having the driveway cleared. Alliance has also agreed to add another person shoveling. This should help move the clearing along a little quicker.

The Board and our property manager will continue to meet with and work with Alliance to find ways to improve the process. If you experience problems or have suggestions, please let us know at bodinput@hwcommunity.info.

Sincerely,
The Hickory Woods Board of Directors
