The responsiblity of "fence weeds," or weeds in the easement of your property (sidewalk) and the street, have always been confusing to interpret. Hopefully the following will help you determine if you or the District are responsible for the maintenance of weeds. This applies to homes that are adjacent to sidewalks (in front of the property or on the side of the property) or are sitting on a corner lot.

If the weeds are between the sidewalk and fence, or in the corner curb, the property owner is responsible for removing the weeds. The property owner's responsibility would end at the property line of your neighbors or the District's pathways, whichever applies adjacent to your property.

The District is responsible for fence and easement weeds that are adjacent to the pathways (or breezeways) and in front of the District-owned orange "brick" fences. So, if weeds are located by, around, or adjacent to any white vinyl fence, those weeds are the property owner's responsibility to dispose of. Please keep in mind fence weeds fall under the purview of landscaping maintenance, which are continuous violations, don't sunset, and continue to accrue monetary fines. The first notification is a courtesy notice, the second violation is $75, the third violation is $150, and thereafter additional violations are $150 each.

Covenant Enforcement would like to remind residents that portable basketball hoops are not allowed to be placed in or on the public right-of-way which means the street or sidewalks. Blocking the right-of-way is considered a violation, not only of the District's covenants, but also the City of Fountain's Ordinance, both of which provide the authority to require removal and impose fines. Please take the time to remove your basketball hoop off the sidewalks and streets. Do not let them hang over the sidewalk if they are on the driveway because this blocks the smooth flow of pedestrian traffic. Do not lay them down in the rocks but keep them stored out of view when not in use.

Enforcement will begin again after a considerable lapse time of non-enforcement.

Guidelines for basketball hoops (portable and permanent) can be found in the District's Rules and Regulations, Page 11 ... "No basketball backboards may be attached to a structure. Freestanding basketball backboards must be made of standard manufacturer materials and colors. Temporary, portable basketball backboards and poles may not be used within public streets and must be stored out of view from adjacent properties and streets except when in use."

Concerns have been raised regarding motorized motorcycles and motorbikes being driven on the sidewalks. Our covenants do not cite this specific concern; however, the Fountain City Ordinances state, "Police Action: The Fountain Police Department is actively targeting illegal motorcycles and motorbikes due to high public complaints regarding danger and noise. Consequences: Unauthorized use can result in fines, summons, and potential impoundment. Pedestrian Safety: City regulations explicity prohibit motorized vehicles on sidewalks, prioritizing public safety. If you see violations occurring, contact the Fountain Police Department.

We hope those who participated in the Easter Egg Hunt on April 4th at Cumberland Green Park had a great time! Danae from House Hunters really put on a show -- classy, organized, and fun with lots of swag and yummy treats! Just a heads up, the Park will get busy with summer traffic. We've already had a conflict with parties wanting use of the pavilion the same day. Although there is no process in reserving the pavilion YET, we do encourage property owners to contact [email protected] to get information on how to ensure your use of the pavilion on a certain day. A big thank you to Danae for sponsoring this event. She's been working with the community for many years and has helped property owners sell and purchase over 150 homes.
