Red Ribbons for Snow/Ice Chemical Opt-Out

Greetings Symphony Village Residents,

If you do NOT want snow/ice melt applied to your concrete driveway and lead walk during the 2021/2022 winter season, please retrieve a red ribbon from the Clubhouse and place it around your front light post. This will notify the Associations' snow removal contractor that you do NOT want chemical service.

Red ribbons can be picked up from the basket as you enter the Clubhouse, by any resident that does NOT want chemical treatment for snow and/or ice.

Please note that the snow removal contractor, Chester River Landscaping, uses pure Magnesium Chloride Pellets with no other chemicals added as snow/ice melt. To the best of our knowledge, this treatment is concrete-safe.

Any home without a red ribbon around the front light post will receive snow/ice melt if the contractor is mobilized for pre-treatment or snow/ice removal.

Snow and ice accumulation, weather conditions, and freezing temperatures are monitored closely in the event of inclement weather. If/when mobilized, the snow removal contractor clears the walkway to the front doors, driveways, and parking lots as designated by the Board of Directors.

Typically, snow removal will not start until after a storm has ended and accumulation is 3 inches or more. The board is also able to exercise discretion on these decisions under extenuating circumstances including ice/sleet accumulation or freezing temperatures over an extended time period.

Please keep in mind that the volunteer Board Members elected by the community are tasked with balancing community needs, resident requests, and fiduciary responsibility related to snow/ice removal.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Management Office at 410-758-8500 with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your attention,

Symphony Village HOA Management
