Per the community guidelines, all vehicles shall be parked only in garages, driveways; and in exceptional cases one vehicle may be parked on the city street preferably in front of the resident home.

​Residents must maximize use of Garages and Driveways before using on-street parking.

The Community Guidelines provide guidance for community standards, maintenance responsibilities and the home improvement approval process for homeowners in Pine Creek. A “Community-Wide Standard” was established in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Pine Creek Village at Briargate, and these Community Guidelines, and the Design Guidelines, help ensure a continuing quality environment from the design and maintenance of the homes to the quality of life of its residents.  This version supersedes all previous versions.

Whether children walk, ride their bicycle or take the bus to school, it is vitally important that they – and the motorists around them – take proper safety precautions.

Walkers

• Walk on the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk and you must walk in the street, walk facing traffic
• Before crossing the street, stop and look left, right and left again to see if cars are coming
• Never dart out in front of a parked car
• Parents: Practice walking to school with your child, crossing streets at crosswalks when available
• Never walk while texting or talking on the phone
• Do not walk while using headphones

Bike Riders

• Always wear a helmet that is fitted and secured properly
• Children need to know the rules of the road: Ride single file on the right side of the road, come to a complete stop before crossing the street and walk the bike across
• Watch for opening car doors and other hazards
• Use hand signals when turning
• Wear bright-colored clothing

Bus Riders

• Teach children the proper way to get on and off the bus
• Line up 6 feet away from the curb as the bus approaches
• If seat belts are available, buckle up
• Wait for the bus to stop completely before standing
• Do not cross in front of the bus if possible, or walk at least 10 feet ahead until you can see the other drivers

Drivers, Share the Road

• Don't block crosswalks
• Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and take extra care in school zones
• Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians
• Never pass a bus loading or unloading children
• The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them to safely enter and exit the bus

The Modifications Committee added a 2nd page to the Design Review Request (DRR) form with a short checklist of items to include for different types of project requests.  When you include the items with your DRR, the committee will better understand it and make it easier to approve.
