Foundation: The association is responsible for the structural stability of the foundation and repairing any cracks or defects. This does not include water infiltration due to hydrostatic pressure in areas that were not finished by the developer.

Garage Doors: Homeowners are responsible for repair and replacement of garage doors.

 

Termite Protection & Damage: The association provides termite protection, which includes a warranty to cover any interior termite damage.

 

Decks: Homeowners are responsible for repairs and replacement of decks and deck materials. While all units which have decks have the same decking, this was not original to development and was installed and paid for with the agreement of the owners of the units at the time. Full responsibility for maintenance thus becomes the responsibility of any subsequent owners as well.

 

Lawn Care: The association provides lawn care.

 

Snow Removal: Snow removal is provided by the association for the private streets and the private walkways up to porches. The city plows the public streets, which are Sherman Drive and Sherman Park Drive. Unless snow accumulation is greater than 2 inches the Board will decide whether snow should be removed or not. Homeowners should be prepared to remove lesser snowfall from their own property if desired.

 

Tree Maintenance: The association is responsible for tree maintenance and removal when needed.

 

Landscaping: The association is responsible for the maintenance and removal, when needed, of original landscaping. Any landscaping installed by a homeowner, which includes all landscaping that isn’t in the front of the property, is a homeowner responsibility to maintain.
