It's SNOW SEASON

With snow season upon us we'd like to remind everyone of the complex policies on snow removal. 
Oceanside Cove works to keep the roads within the community, open, clear and passable for the duration of all snow storms.  Clearing of sidewalks, driveways and parking spaces begins after the snow storm has completed. 

Crews begin after snowfall in multiple locations and work their way around the complex clearing sidewalks, driveways and parking spaces.  In order for us to clear driveways and parking spaces, cars must be removed before they will be cleared.  If crews come by your area doing cleanup, and your car has not been moved, they will skip you and continue working their way through the complex.  Please understand we will not be able to return to clear your spot then until we've completed the complex.  The complex is large and bouncing around doing a spot here or there is just not feasible. 

Please remember these important items. 

• Oceanside Cove and its contractors are not responsible for damaged items left outside.  This includes landscape lighting, door mats, decorations etc.  These items get buried in the snow and cannot be seen by the crews clearing the sidewalks.
• Please ensure your front door mat is removed prior to snowfall.  This is important, when it's buried in snow, the snowblowers suck them up and they damage the equipment.  Damaged equipment leads to delays for everyone in getting their areas cleaned! 
• Oceanside Cove, staff and its contractors do not clean cars or between cars.  It is your responsibility to clean off your car and remove it from the spot or the driveway so they can be cleaned.  
• It is recommended that shareholders own something to clean their car and a small snow shovel. 
• Oceanside Cove has spaces throughout the community called "SNOW SPOTS".  Cars are required to be  out of those spaces before the snow begins.  Any cars not moved are subject to towing or being blocked in by snow. 
• Snow cleanup in large storms can take a few days.  It is our policy and always our intention to prioritize how we clean up each storm.  No two storms are the same, therefore no two cleanups are the same.  In severe storms we often do sidewalks and then come back and do driveways and spots.  In lesser storms we work to do them all at once.  The storm dictates how we work to clean up the complex.  Rest assured that everyone will get cleaned out as quickly as possible!
• Many of the equipment used to clean up the snow is large, noisy and extremely dangerous.  Do not assume that equipment operators can see or hear you when approaching them.  The visibility in the weather, from inside equipment and time of day makes it more difficult to see than operating a passenger vehicle.  This equipment also cannot stop as quickly as a passenger vehicle!  Requests should not be made to equipment operators for service!  All requests should be made through the office and you'll be scheduled accordingly.  If you must speak with an equipment operator be sure to stand a safe distance and get their attention.  Once they acknowledge they've seen you you can proceed with approaching them cautiously.  
• If you have small children out playing in the snow, playing on snow piles during cleanup is extremely dangerous and is not permitted!  Oceanside Cove uses heavy equipment to move piles and it may be difficult to spot children.
• Wear bright cloths when walking the complex.  We cannot stress this enough!  When walking your dog, or just walking to get fresh air and exercise, WEAR BRIGHT CLOTHS!  At night it is hard to see when driving the complex.  This is even more difficult in snow storms.
