Housekeeping Announcement
From Canton FOCUS, October 2022
Canton is asking residents to help clear residential storm drains that are covered in leaves and/or debris. When the drain is blocked, water can’t flow properly and flooding may result. Additionally, piles of leaves create poisonous gas when they build up in the underground catch basins. This gas causes oxygen levels to fluctuate to dangerously low levels in creeks and streams where fish and other wildlife live. Unclogging storm drains is quick and easy! Simply sweep, rake or shovel away leaves covering the grate and pile them away from the drain so they do not blow back in again.
Snow Removal
Streets will be plowed after a snowfall event of 2″ or more. Plowing should be finished within 48 hours AFTER the snow stops falling.
Please remove your cars from the street during snow events. Moving your vehicle allows the contractor to clear the roads safely, efficiently, and completely.
Please shovel your sidewalk in a timely manner.
Edited from: Canton FOCUS, December 2021, “Snow removal reminder”.
“The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) reminds property owners that depositing snow and ice in public roadways is prohibited. Snow, ice, or slush pushed onto the roadway creates a safety hazard and creates inefficiencies for snow removal operations, which results in increased costs to the public for winter maintenance services.”
Home Renovations
Before making any changes to the exterior of your home or landscaping
Step 1: Review Covenants and Restrictions
Before starting your project, familiarize yourself with the HOA’s covenants and restrictions. These documents outline the guidelines for construction and renovations in our community. They can be accessed on our website or by request from the board.
Step 2: Prepare Your Project Proposal.
Your proposal should include the following details:
Project Description
Explain what the project entails (e.g., new deck, fence installation, home addition).
Time Frame
Provide estimated start and end dates for the project, including any construction phases.
Visual Documentation
Include images that represent the desired outcome of your project. This could be photos of similar projects, inspiration images, or design concepts.
Planned Schematics
Provide detailed schematics or blueprints showing the project’s layout and design. This will help the committee visualize the proposed changes.
Detailed Measurements
Include accurate measurements of the proposed project area (e.g., dimensions of a new structure, height of a fence).
Final Finishes
Specify the materials, colors, and finishes you plan to use. This includes paint colors, roofing materials, and any other relevant details.
Step 3: Submit Your Proposal
Submit your completed proposal to the Architectural Review Committee via the Contact Us page form or submit it via email addressed to contactus@nowlandestateshoa.org. Ensure that all required documents are attached.
Step 4: Confirmation of Receipt
After submission, you will receive an email confirmation from the committee acknowledging the receipt of your proposal. This email will include a reference number for tracking your submission.
Step 5: Review Process
The committee will review your proposal in accordance with the community’s guidelines. If any clarification or additional information is needed, the committee will email you for further details.
Step 6: Committee Decision
Once the committee has reviewed your project and any necessary adjustments have been discussed, they will provide feedback. Final approval will be granted once both the committee and the homeowner reach an agreement on the project details.
