Hawthorne Hills Homeowners Association - bloomington IL
Important Reminder - the approved areas for fishing on the Hawthorne Hills lake are from the park beach and dock, the Airport Road levee, and the common area on the south dam running along General Electric Road. Everywhere else along the lake is private property where only the resident and their guests can fish. Non-Hawthorne Hills residents must have an adult resident with them in order to use our common areas.
Several of our neighbors have had issues with uninvited individuals fishing from their property and we would appreciate everyone's help in addressing this.
Updates/reminders
Due to issues that have arisen around the Hawthorne Hills II lake, they have implemented the following rules: 1) no fishing after dark, 2) no loitering around the lake after dark, and 3) no loud music or foul language at any time.
We have treated the blue spruce trees in the park for needle cast disease. There is evidence of this disease on many blue spruce in the neighborhood (loss of needles/needles dying at the top point of the tree). Residents might want to consider this getting this treatment applied if they have blue spruce.
If the road around your home is in need of repair, you can call 454-2867 (454-BUMP) to get your location added to the list the city maintains for upcoming road repair work.
Per the city of Bloomington, garbage and recycling containers may be placed out for collection at the curb, but NOT in the street, no earlier than 2:00 p.m. on the day prior to scheduled collection, and no later than 6:00 a.m. on the day of the collection. Empty containers must be removed from the curb no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day following collection. While the city requires garbage carts and recycling bins to be stored your garage, backyard or a location not visible from the street, we would encourage neighbors to use their garage whenever possible.
Reminder - all fences and additions require review by the board
