Event: Neighbourhood Bar-B-Q.

More details to come soon.

Council is exploring whether there would be an aggregate/paving contractor willing to provide a reduced rate to individual owners, if there is interest from a large enough group of owners wishing to widen their driveway.  Please contact Strata Council at CitationVillage@gmail.com by May 31, 2011, if you would like to obtain a quote for widening your driveway.

As per Strata Bylaws, Part 5, section 2: All pets shall (cats and dogs) must be on a leash while on common property.  Dog and cat owners must immediately clean up any excrement left by their pet and dispose of it in an appropriate manner.  In no case shall pets feces be discarded over the side wall fences in the conservation areas or otherwise on the common property all pet feces disposed of in the garbage must be securely wrapped and tied in plastic.

Part 5, section 3: Should the strata council receive a written complaint about a permitted pet and after investigation determine, in their sole discretion, that the pet is nuisance, they many require that the pet be removed permanently from the strata corporation on FOURTEEN (14) DAYS written notice. Examples of behaviour that could result in removal are excessive noise, an owner consistently failing to clean up after their pets, pets causing damage to Strata and resident property, aggressive behaviour by the pet towards other residents of the development.

Strata Corporation #VIS 5695 – Citation Village will be holding its 2010 Annual General Meeting on Tuesday February 22, 2011, at 7PM – Location: Grace Baptist Church – 2731 Matson Road, Langford (behind Ruth King School).  AGM Packages will be mailed to owners soon.

This is a reminder that as per section 35 (5) of Strata Bylaws, owners must not use the visitor’s parking except for loading and unloading and then for a period of not more than THIRTY (30) MINUTES.  In no case shall owners use visitor’s parking for parking business or secondary vehicles. Only visitors may use visitor’s parking for longer periods and may only stay for a maximum of THREE (3) days without the written approval of the strata council. Owners with guests parking their vehicle for more than 3 days, must contact Strata Council via email at CitationVillage@gmail.com to obtain a Visitor’s Parking permit and register their guest’s vehicle.  Vehicles parked in contravention of these bylaws may be towed at the owner’s expense.

As per section 35 (1) & (6) of Strata Bylaws, owners are reminded that sidewalks and roadways are to be used only as a means of ingress and egress for access to strata lots and common property and owners must ensure that such areas are kept free from obstruction at all times.  Sidewalks and roadways throughout the Strata are considered part of the Strata’s fire lanes and vehicles parked on sidewalks or the road will be subject to towing without warning.

Council is seeking interest from owners interested in sitting on Council for the upcoming year. Please contact Council via email at CitationVillage@gmail.com if you would like to learn more about putting your name forth to run for Council.

Council reminds all owners that owners will be responsible for ensuring their individual sprinkler system is properly winterized (blown out and shut off, to prevent potential damage from inclement weather).  Owners will be responsible for any damages incurred as a result of not properly winterizing their individual sprinkler systems.  Aqua Irrigation has been contracted by Council to winterize the common areas only around the Strata.  Owners wishing to coordinate the winterization of their own units with when Aqua is on site (early November), can contact them at: 250 652-9293.

Council reminds owners that in order to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage of the Strata’s pumps at the sewage lift station please refrain from flushing:

• Grease, which causes pump related problems very quickly – please dispose of grease properly in the garbage.
• Any products or packaging – most importantly from feminine hygiene product/applicators, hair or dental floss
• Kitty litter, cigarette butts, washing machine lint, plastic bags, rags or trash, baby wipes or diapers, clothing items
• Anything made of plastic or non-organic materials
• If you cannot eat it… It should not be flushed down the toilet or in the sink.
