Information for the Property Owners in the Sleepy Hollow Cluster Home Association
Association Information - Winter Update
This is just a reminder that in the upcoming Winter months there will be snow plowing on Castleton and Keats. When the snow is 2 inches or more in depth and if a vehicle is parked in the driveway, that driveway will not be plowed because of liability concerns. If at any time you feel that Castleton or Keats needs salting, please contact the Board via phone or email. Salting on Brittany will be handled by the City of Brunswick Hills.
Frontier is in the process of installing fiber optic cable in our front yards for their new high-speed internet service. Many homeowners are understandably displeased that their front yards are being dug up and have been contacting the Association to intervene. The Association really cannot do much about it. Please visit our website or visit https://frontier.com/why-frontier/why-fiber-internet/fiber-construction for more information about this matter.
For 2026, we are in the process of updating our bookkeeping to an online system designed specifically for home owners’ associations. You should receive a new invoice from this system in the second quarter of 2026.
Did you know we have a “No Trim” list posted on our website under Contacts? If you prefer to trim your own shrubbery or lawn, you can opt out from the scheduled trimming. You can contact us via email or phone if you are interested in doing this.
Please consider receiving the newsletter and quarterly statements electronically. This will help in controlling our expenses for postage, paper and printing costs. Just provide us with your email address. You can call/text us at 330-421-7571 or email us at sleepyhoa@gmail.com to make this switch.
The Brittany Gazabo
In mid-October 2025, Lamphear's gave the Brittany gazebo area a fresh look. The overgrown bushes were removed, and two burning bushes were added along with new perennials. Mulch and decorative stone were also incorporated into the landscaping. Stop by and check it out; it should look even better in late Spring 2026. For more pictures, visit our Photos page.
The Association's newsletter, the Sleepy Hollar, is published quarterly and mailed to all Association homeowners. It is available by clicking on the above link. The latest newsletter is also available on the Events page. The next one will be out in April 2026.
Our Featured Rule of the Quarter
Rule 1/1/2013_A: January 1, 2013, Parking During Winter Months
It has come to the attention of the Board of Directors that there is a problem with on street parking during snowplow season on Keats and Castleton. Vehicles should not be parked on the street while snowplowing is in progress. Any vehicle impeding the ability of our contractors to plow will be towed at the homeowners expense. The contractors are not responsible for contacting homeowners to move their vehicles. Please be courteous and insure that your vehicle(s) are not blocking access during
plowing.
Please take some time to review ALL our rules. Here is the link.

Are you replacing your roof this year? Our homes should have Timberline (GAF) Natural Shadow Weathered Wood Algae Resistant Architectural Shingles. Ask your installer for this or something that is about the same color to get it quickly approved by the Board.
Replacing your siding? In our Covenants, regarding "Exterior Uniformity", it does not specifically state what colors you should use. All we ask is that you consider the existing colors used by your neighbors and consider something neutral, earthy and light so as not to stand out. Here are some siding color examples.
As with ALL improvements or modifications made to the exterior of your home, you should always notify the Board of Trustees to secure approval before proceeding with any work. Your cooperation is appreciated by the Board and your neighbors.
