Conceal Trash & Recycling Receptacles

10/31/2021

 
Please ensure that your trash receptacles are put away inside the garage or concealed from view of neighboring streets and property on non-trash days. Neither empty nor full cans may be left stored in the driveway, on the side of the home, nor in the backyard unless concealed from view. Trash cans may be placed out the night before the pickup date.

Overflowing trash cans, bags and other debris is not permitted to be stored around the home or in the driveway.

​Please refer to the Article 10.13 of the Declarations and the Community Guidelines for more information.
 

High Wind Safety Tips

10/31/2021

0 Comments

 
When it's forecast to be windy, please make sure items in your yard aren't blown all over the neighborhood. Tie down anything that is loose or store it inside. Secure the lids to your garbage and recycling containers. Besides losing items that make a mess of the neighborhood, your airborne items can cause damage as they bounce along and strike other times (car sides and windows, home windows, etc.).

High wind warnings require homeowner action

- Trim tree branches away from your house and powerlines
- Secure loose gutters and shutters
- Identify an interior room of your house, such as a basement or interior
bathroom, that you can take shelter in during high wind warnings
- Make a list of items outside your home you will need to tie down or put away
so that they don't blow away or fly through a window

- When a high wind or severe thunderstorm watch is issued, immediately secure
these items to avoid damage or injury once the wind starts picking up
- Learn more at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/wind/before.shtml

Trampolines must be secured in high winds
Trampolines are, in essence, large disk shaped objects that are lifted off
the ground by about 3ft. This means that wind is free to travel above and
below the trampoline mat. The only way to prevent possible damage to your
trampoline, home, neighbor's home, etc. is to either take apart the safety
net and trampoline mat or tie it down BEFORE THE HIGH WINDS ARRIVE.  Learn

​PCVA Community Grounds Fall Prep

10/12/2021

 
Metco, the Pine Creek landscaping contractor, will be working throughout the community to begin shutting down the irrigation and drip systems in the next coming weeks. They will be conducting fall clean-up throughout the nice weather of November and December and the native grass areas will receive their seasonal "hair-cut" around the middle of November.

​Please be mindful of our great Metco crewmembers as they work across our grounds and let Hammersmith know of any issues!

​PCVA Community Area Snow Removal

10/12/2021

 
For PCVA community areas (sidewalks in the common area):  snow is shoveled from the walks once the snow has reached a depth of 2" and the snow has ceased. While the snow removal company does apply some ice-melt in troublesome areas, pedestrians should be aware that walkways may be slippery and caution and care should be used where ice may be present. Snow removal performance does not ensure that there will be 100% no snow or ice. Please notify the Hammersmith Team of any problematic or icy areas so that known issues can be addressed. Contact them via phone 719-389-0700 or submit a work order request easily and efficiently using your homeowner portal accessed at portal.ehammersmith.com. 

​City Streets: A vast majority of streets in Pine Creek are City owned and maintained. This includes not only pothole-patching and repair issues, but snow plowing as well. If your street has not been plowed, you can request that the City come plow it very easily by issuing a request online at https://coloradosprings.gov/page/citizen-request-gocosprings-app or via the City's GoCOS! smart phone app. 

​Prepare for Emergencies

Know your risk - Make a plan - Take action

The Pikes Peak Regional Office of Emergency management has a new app to help you prepare for an emergency.

  • Create your own readiness plan
  • Access digital guides, videos, checklists, and news articles
  • Stay informed with the events schedule and weather alerts
  • Receive non-emergency messages about how to get ready to help yourself and your community​
The Pikes Peak Prepared app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play site.
