Habitual use of paper bags, boxes and/or plastic bags, etc. is not an acceptable substitute for a trashcan. On infrequent occasions when a homeowner has excess trash, every effort shall be made to put all excess trash in plastic bags, tightly tied shut to minimize wind-blown trash throughout the neighborhood. Trash and recycling containers stored outside shall be stored or kept in the back yard only. Trash and/or recycling containers shall not be placed at curbside before 6:00 p.m. on the evening before trash and/or recycling pickup, and shall be retrieved before 11:00 p.m. on the day of collection. Trash Days are Tuesday and Friday, and Recycle Day is Wednesday (except as noted below)

  • Trash pick is a private company and maintained by the HOA and does not shift days due to holidays.
  • Recycling is maintained by Montgomery County and is subject to schedule shifts due to County holidays.   Please sign up to get reminders for schedule shifts (at the link below). In general, if there is a holiday on a Monday the recycle day will slide to Thursday.

HOA PARKING REMINDERS:

The Board of the Directors would like to remind all residents of the parking requirements in your HOA documents. (Please refer to the parking guidelines in your HOA Manual or the HOA website).

  • Do not park in the turnabout lanes. This is a safety issue because those areas are used by emergency services, delivery and trash trucks to turn around in the courts.
  • Do not park on Stewart Lane in the No Parking Zones. Montgomery County Police will ticket your car.
  • If you own a car(s) homeowners are assigned 2 parking spaces per home, parking spaces consist, of the garage (regardless whether such garage has been converted into living spaces or is used for garage purposes), driveway or assigned parking spaces if you do not have a garage. Homeowners/Renters may not use Visitors Parking as one of those 2 assigned parking spaces. (Sec 4.2).  Homeowners/Renters are also prohibited from parking on internal HOA streets (Chiswick Court, Hadden Manor, Whitehall Drive and Regent Manor) Please see the no parking on internal HOA streets (Sec 2.f) below.

Update to Parking on Stewart Lane – New No Parking Signs to be Installed

As previously posted on Nextdoor a few months ago, the HOA filed a complaint with Montgomery county transportation about cars parking on Stewart Lane. As this is the only entry point into Whitehall Square, the narrowing of the road makes it extremely dangerous and will only become more of a problem if we get a heavy snowfall. The county made the decision and the HOA has been notified that due to the restricted access on the street for emergency vehicles, new no parking signs will be installed on one side of the street. Montgomery County will be monitoring the road for illegally parked cars and ticketing or towing. As a reminder Stewart Lane is a County street and any enforcement of parking regulations is done by Montgomery County not by the HOA or Vista Management. Any complaints of cars parking there or any issues with your car being ticketed or towed should go to Montgomery County (311).

Here is the email from the county for your reference:

Fire Rescue conducted their assessment and recommended to restrict parking on one side of Stewart Lane. MCDOT has started the process to install that restriction. A Traffic Order and Work Order are being created for approval. I will keep you updated as it progresses.

Dogs Prohibited in Tot Lots/Playgrounds

Dogs are not allowed in designated playground areas for children in Whitehall Square. They are banned from the gated tot lot on Regent Manor Court and in the mulched play area on Whitehall Drive. They are safe areas for children to play. Due to several people allowing their dogs to use the tot lot on Regent Manor Court as a pet relief area, the HOA is having the playground re-mulched. Signs will be posted on the playgrounds/tot lots shortly to prevent this from happening in the future. Anyone found allowing their dogs in the tot lots for pet relief will be reported to the County and fined for violations.
