The 2016 Boo Bash was a big success!
Thank you to all the neighbors who participated! It was fun to see all the creative costumes! Everyone enjoyed the parade, led by one of our wonderful police vehicles--lights and all!
Thank you to our two wonderful neighbors who participated in the Trunk-Or-Treat--the kids really enjoyed the festive "trunks", candy and the cute golden retriever - you've inspired more neighbors to participate next year!
The Pumpkin decorating and caramel apple booth were a big hit with kids big and small!

Q: Do residents have to clear snow away from fire hydrants?
A:
In Denver Water's Engineering Standards there is
a section that designates
a 5' radius from the center of the fire hydrant in the easement. Within this radius there is to be no obstruction that could impair the ability of Denver Water staff or fire crews to access the hydrant. That means plants, snow or otherwise should be removed around the hydrant and should not be covering it.
Q: Are there any covenants or standards that apply to holiday lights and decorations?
Annoying Sounds, Odors and Lights. No sound or odor shall be emitted from any property within Heritage Hills that is noxious or unreasonably offensive to others. No lights shall be emitted from any Unit that are unreasonably bright or cause unreasonable glare. Exterior lighting shall either be indirect or of such controlled focus as not to unreasonably disturb owners within Heritage Hills. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no exterior speakers, horns, whistles, bells, or other sound devices, other than security devices used exclusively for security purposes, shall be located or used on any property except with the prior written approval of the Design Review Committee.
All holiday decorations must be removed within thirty (30) days of that particular holiday.

PROTECTING DELIVERED PACKAGES AND OTHER MAIL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
|
|
As the holiday season quickly approaches we'd like to remind citizens to take some proactive steps in protecting themselves from "Porch Pirates", or thieves that steal packages and other mail parcels from the porches of unsuspecting residents. During this time of year, many people order packages on the internet that will be delivered when the purchaser is not home to receive them. Thieves know this and look for unreceived packages to steal, which is why we see an increase in mail/package theft this time of year.
Please consider the following when purchasing items on-line this holiday season:
* Don't leave your mail or parcels unattended-especially overnight.
* Enlist the help of your neighbors. If you have a stay-at-home neighbor or friend, ask them to pick up packages you are expecting.
* Consider an alternate shipping address.
* Track and customize your delivery. Fedex, UPS, and The United States Postal Service all offer options to require a signature upon delivery, change the time and location of a delivery, or hold a package until you are able to receive it. (There is a fee associated with some of these services)
* Install security cameras on your residence. Surveillance video and images help law enforcement catch mail thieves and bring them to justice, but most thieves know to stay away from homes with visible security cameras.
* Report suspicious activity immediately. If you notice an unfamiliar vehicle following behind a delivery truck or unknown persons hovering around, report the activity to your local police department and the delivery service.
If you believe you have become a victim of mail theft please call our non-emergency number at 303-660-7500, if you see a crime in progress dial 9-1-1.
