New Entrance Updates at Hickory Ridge Mews š”
Weāre excited to share a thoughtful improvement to our community! The HOA Board has installed two new signs at the entrance of Hickory Ridge Mews to enhance both safety and everyday comfort for our residents.
šø Slow ā Children at Play
A friendly reminder to please reduce speed when entering and exiting the neighborhood. With children and families enjoying our community, your caution helps keep everyone safe.
š« No Soliciting
To protect residentsā privacy and reduce unwanted door-to-door activity, a āNo Solicitingā sign has also been added at the entrance.
These updates reflect our continued commitment to maintaining a safe, peaceful, and welcoming neighborhood for all. Thank you for supporting these efforts!
A Quick Lawn Care Reminder for Our Community š”
As the season continues, we kindly ask all residents to keep their lawns cut and well maintained.
Regular mowing and general upkeep help preserve the appearance of each home and contribute to the overall appeal of our neighborhood. When each property is cared for, it reflects positively on the entire community.
We appreciate everyoneās effort in keeping Hickory Ridge Mews looking its best. Thank you for doing your part!
Trash/ Recycle Bins: Homeowners may store up to one trash bin and one recycling bin on the side of the house, even if they are partially visible, as long as they are kept neat and well maintained. Bins should not be placed in the front yard areas including porches, steps, driveways, walkways, lawns, in front of garage doors, or in landscaped spaces as this is considered a violation.
This guideline reflects a compromise within the community, balancing visibility concerns while allowing practical storage options. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep our neighborhood clean and attractive. (Trash/ Recycle Bin Rules)Ā
Snow Removal: Residents are responsible for snow removal on sidewalks adjacent to their property. Your HOA dues do not cover this. Conewago Township Ordinance #306 requires snow/ice to be removed within 30 hours after the snow or sleet has ceased to fall. The pathway cleared shall be no less than twenty-four (24) inches in width.
Architectural Request: Architectural requests must be completed and approved prior to construction.Ā Requests to add decks, patios, sheds, fences, major landscaping etc. must be submitted via AppFolio.Ā Please provide details such as materials used, dimensions, colors, and setbacks.Ā Sketches and pictures are extremely helpful in expediting the process.Ā Township permits and/or impervious surface applications are still required for these types of projects. (Architectural Request Rules)Ā
Landscaping and Exterior Improvements: Routine landscaping such as planting flowers, shrubs, or trees, adding mulch, and placing small decorative items is welcome and does not require prior approval. Approval is only needed for larger projects, such as retaining walls, large trees, or any changes that could affect drainage. (Landscaping Rules)
Childrenās play equipment, including items like trampolines and swing sets, is allowed without prior approval, as long as all community guidelines are followed. (Children's Play Equipment Rules)
To help protect our shared environment, invasive plant species are not permitted. A list of prohibited species is provided in the Third Amendment to the Declaration, and homeowners are responsible for removing any invasive plants on their property. (Invasive Plant Species Rules)Ā
Thank you for helping keep our neighborhood safe, attractive, and enjoyable for everyone.
Pet Owners: Please be a responsible neighbor.Ā Clean up after your pets and ensure they are always leashed.Ā Respect your neighbors' properties, as not everyone in the community may be a pet lover.
Drivers: The speed limit in the neighborhood is 25 mph. Please adhere to this limit, but consider driving even slower, as children are often at play. Imagine how you would feel if you accidentally hit someone's child. Think ahead and slow down for everyone's safety.
Proxies: If you are unable or unwilling to attend an HOA meeting, please complete a proxy form to help the HOA maintain a quorum (the minimum number of homeowners required to conduct official business at any given meeting). Submitting a proxy allows your attendance to be counted even if you cannot be present, and you may designate another community member in good standing to vote on your behalf. Proxy forms are mailed to each household prior to each meeting and are also available and can be completed electronically on this website under the āMeeting Attendanceā menu.Ā Ā

Your voice mattered, and you made a difference. This win shows what we can accomplish when we all take part. Voting statistics are listed below.Ā Ā Ā
