ROSE PAVING - MEWS ASPHALT & SEALCOAT UPDATE

Dear Kentlands Residents,

We have a schedule for the remaining work. It is as follows:

Sealcoat – Tuesday 10/1 - Thurgood Mews, Tschiffely Square Mews, Leekes Lot Mews, Midtown Mews, Golden Ash Mews, and Firehouse Mews

Asphalt work – Wednesday 10/2 - Chestertown Mews, Little Quarry Mews, and Inspiration Mews

The sealcoat work helps protect and extend the life of the asphalt surfaces in our community.

Below is a map showing both the asphalt and sealcoat areas.

The sealcoat crew will arrive on-site around 8:00 am, sealing all mews (alleys) in one day. The treatment is a liquid emulsion that requires 24 hours to cure. During this period, the mews will be closed off and inaccessible until the following morning.

The asphalt crew will arrive on-site around 8:00 am and complete the work in one day. To prevent incidents, the mews will be closed off during the asphalt work. We understand this may temporarily affect your accessibility, but the mews will be open once the crew finishes the cleanup, and we appreciate your patience during this time.

Residents will not be able to use their garages during these two periods, especially on the mews where the sealcoat will be applied.

If you have any questions or concerns about sealcoating or asphalt work, please email Amir Ibrahim at assistantmanager@kentlands.com.

The above proposed schedule is weather permitting; any changes will be communicated promptly.

HALLOWEEN HOUSE DECORATING CONTEST

Of course, October also means Halloween is just around the corner. There is nothing quite like celebrating Halloween in Kentlands, where houses are beautifully decorated. We are excited to announce the Annual Kentlands Halloween Decoration Contest.

The KCA will once again recognize outstanding displays in the following categories:

Best Overall

Scariest

Most Creative

Best Townhouse or Condo

Best Block or Street

Your participation is key to making this event a success! We invite you to submit nominations for the Annual Kentlands Halloween Decoration Contest. Whether it is your home, a neighbor’s, or any house in the neighborhood that catches your eye, we want to hear from you. Send your nominations to: https://forms.gle/8SDCAiSBAdC27kby9. Our judges will select winners in each category.

Additionally, we are looking for families to help judge the entries! If interested, please complete this Google form (https://forms.gle/5r9E9575DckfQJbK9), and we will contact you.

The KCA hopes our residents have a wonderful and safe Halloween.   

NOTICES & REMINDERS

Recycling Behind Little Quarry Mews

Recycling for Thursday, September 26 may not have been collected from Little Quarry Mews due to repairs taking place in the mews. The City of Gaithersburg will collect your recycling on the next recycling day, Thursday, October 3.

Fall 2024 Campout Postponed

Due to the recent rainy weather, the Fall Campout has been postponed. This event will be scheduled again sometime for spring 2025.

Those families who have already signed up or are on the waitlist will keep their reservations until then, and we will communicate with them all directly when a spring 2025 date has been determined.

Questions? Contact Chris Campbell at president@kentlands.com.

2025 Draft KCA Budget

The Kentlands Board of Trustees approved the 2025 Draft KCA Budget that was submitted to the Board by the Kentlands Budget & Finance Advisory Committee (BFAC). This was mailed to every home in Kentlands.
