Dear Park Place at Lytle,

With the Holidays upon us we would like to take a moment to send you a friendly reminder on the Season guidelines. Also included below you will find the Season Trash Removal guidelines. We ask that you please take a moment to review all the information below. Thank you in advance for following the guidelines.

Seasonal Guidelines: 

Christmas Trees – If you are planning on having a live Christmas tree in your unit, the following procedure must be followed:

• The 1st floor garage entrance and East elevator must be used to transport your live tree into the building. Live trees cannot be brought in through the front door of
  the building, nor can the West elevators be used to transport trees.
• Trees must be wrapped to prevent needles and branches being broken.
• When transporting a live tree or greenery, the unit owner is responsible for the cleanup of the 1st floor garage, the East elevator and the hallways.
• Please be extremely careful when transporting your tree. Unit owners will be held responsible for repairing any damage to the common areas caused by the transportation of a tree such as scratches on the walls, etc.
• You must make sure that you keep your tree watered to prevent it from drying out.
• Lights are to be unplugged before you leave your unit.

Exterior Door, Window, or Balcony Displays or Decorations – Seasonal or religious decorations may be displayed from November 25th through January 10th on the windows and balconies.

• Lights, candles, or other holiday or religious decorations may be displayed on windows and must be displayed or affixed to the inside of windows located in the unit interior. Remember, however, that the Condominium Declaration prohibits owners from hanging anything inside or outside his or her window and/or patio door which will show any color other than white or beige on the outside.
• Door decorations may be displayed using clear “S” hangers or other non-intrusive or door damaging methods.
• Decorative materials may not be affixed to the structural elements of balconies. However, small trees or other figures may be located upon balconies from November 25th through January 10th. Remember, however, that the Condominium Declaration prohibits the display of any holiday-type lights on the exterior of a Unit, except those approved by the Board in the Common Elements. This restriction applies also to balconies because they are part of the Common Elements and are not part of the Units.

Seasonal Trash Removal – Please do not attempt to place oversized garbage bags or boxes down the trash chutes as doing so will cause the chutes and compactors to malfunction. Any oversized seasonal garbage, such as wreaths and greenery, except trees must be in tightly closed plastic bags or tightly sealed paper bags and should be placed in designated areas, located on Butler Street south of exit gate. There will be appropriate signage indicating the location.

Special pick- up times for the disposal of Christmas Trees, wreaths and other large seasonal items will be announced as soon as the dates are received. Trees, wreaths, and other large items should be placed in the seasonal trash areas no sooner than the

night before the scheduled pick-up time and no earlier than 7:00 PM in the evening.

• No burning of any trash nor accumulation or storage or litter, building material, or trash of any kind shall be permitted on any portion of the unit or limited common areas.

Trash Chute – High-rise living and disposing of trash can be an adjustment, especially during move-ins and holidays. Although residents are given guidelines at the time of moving into the building, there is much information to be assimilated in a short period of time.

• All trash must be put into a closed/tied plastic bag that easily slides into and down the chute.
• Large items more than 10 inches in diameter are to be taken to the trash room on the first level, South sideof the garage.
• Large boxes more than 10 inches in diameter are to be broken down and taken to the trash room on the first level of the garage.
• Environmentally safe, non-toxic liquids are to be put in tightly closed containers and set on the trash room floor.
• Glass items are to be set in recycle bins on the garage

levels, NOT down the trash chute.

• Noxious substances must be disposed of by the unit owner/resident according to established guidelines for each type of substance.

Parties and Celebrations – Please bear in mind that residents will celebrate in many ways that are meaningful according to their particular traditions. If you are planning a party, have invited a number of guests,

or have reserved the Community or Polk Room for a celebration, please be considerate of all residents during the period of your event. Noise levels, especially within common areas, use of elevators, greeting of guests, and parking should be planned in advance of the event with the least inconvenience to other residents.

Thank you,

For the Board of Directors,
Sheryl
