Bylaw Reminders
Camping season is starting. Please adhere to City of Calgary bylaws regarding recreational vehicles – highlights affecting HOA members include RVs, such as motor homes, can be parked on a street immediately adjacent to the owner’s residence for a maximum of 36 hours. For more information on City of Calgary RV bylaws, please visit their website here: https://www.calgary.ca/bylaws/recreational-vehicles.html.
Please remember that there are no off-leash dog parks in our community. To facilitate ease of clean-up after your furry friend(s) there are disposal bags available throughout the community. Details on locations can be found here: https://www.calgary.ca/parks/off-leash-areas.html.
The CHOA has undertaken an Enhanced Landscaping Agreement with the City of Calgary to be responsible this season for the mowing and trimming of specified greenspace areas in Crestmont, including pathways and surrounding areas, parks, storm ponds and surrounding areas, and boulevards. This is a reminder that planting trees, shrubs, and other plants, and/or erecting hardscapes in any City of Calgary property is against City bylaws, including all areas directly adjacent to pathways throughout the community. All areas with such items in it will not be maintained. The City has the right to ask homeowners to remove such items and levy fines for non-compliance. Herbicide application (weeding) and watering are not part of the agreement. Lastly, trees are City of Calgary assets and are solely maintained by the City.
