Important Sidewalk Notice
Members of the Board of Directors have, over the summer months, received complaints from residents about the condition of sidewalks in front of houses throughout the development.

You should be aware that the homeowner is solely responsible for maintenance of the sidewalk that is in front of their home. Neither the Newtown Crossing Community Association nor Newtown Township has any duty to maintain sidewalks that pass in front of any house. The maintenance duty is not just snow removal.

The duty is to permit safe travel on the sidewalk. So, if your sidewalk is crumbling or has buckled due to tree roots or is just in bad shape, you have the duty to fix it. You have the duty to keep it clean, level, and smooth enough for foot travel.

If you choose not to believe this free legal advice, you can check with your homeowner's insurance carrier. If someone trips or falls and is injured by reason of a defect in your sidewalk, you can face serious financial consequences.

Trash in Common Areas
Residents, their children, and guests: remember to clean up after using the common areas. If there are no handy trash recepticals, please carry out your trash when you leave. The grass at Hidden Valley and Millpond has been left littered recently. It doesn't take a lot of effort to keep our neighborhood cleaner for everyone.

Use of Common Areas

Architectural Control
You may print the Architectural Control application from this website. This is for townhome owners wishing to make improvements/alterations.

No Dumping!
The dumping of refuse, yard, waste, grass clippings, tree and bush trimmings or clippings, trash and debris of any kind in any detention basis or on any common ground is prohibited. Residents found guilty of such dumping shall be fined the sum of $100 and that fine shall become a lien on the property under and pursuant to Article 4, Section 9 of the Declaration and Covenants and the collection of that fine shall be permitted bu the same means or method of collection of any delinquent assessment. If you notice another resident dumping on any of the common ground areas, please contact a board member.

Maintenance of cul-de-sacs
One of the reasons our assessments remain low is because many residents help to maintain small sections of community ground by cutting parcels of common ground that border their yard and maintaining cul-de-sacs. The community association has trimmed back cul-de-sacs that have become grossly overgrown; however, once cut back, the neighboring residents are asked to cut the grass and maintain the appearance of the grounds. Your help is appreciated.

Trim Trees, Please!
Please trim your trees along sidewalks to insure that trees and shrubs do not obstruct stop signs, street signs, oncoming traffic or pose a safety issue to residents walking on sidewalks.

Clean Up After Your Pets!
Just a reminder that when walking your pets, please be sure to clean up after your pet and please do not let your dogs or cats roam the neighborhood.
