SNOW REMOVAL PROCESS
How It Works
When we experience a winter weather event, many factors
come into play during the snow removal process. We
encourage residents to review the following so that there is
less confusion about how this process works.
DURING A SNOW STORM
The primary focus is always to keep open, to the best of our
ability, all main roads within the communities (Eaglehead
Drive, Sanandrew Drive, Pinehurst Drive, Finn Drive, etc.).
After main roads are open and passable, secondary roads
will be addressed. After primary roads and secondary
roads have been opened, a pass can be made on courts and
townhouses.
Spreading salt is not common during heavy snowfall, due
to plowing still in progress. It is wasteful and unproductive
to continuously salt roadways, and then repeatedly plow
away the salt.
AFTER THE STORM
Main roads will be opened and cleaned up first, followed
by secondary roads. The final step is to clean all court
heads, townhomes, and intersections. Salt will be spread
on necessary areas.
Sidewalk Maintenance: Homeowners are responsible for
snow removal on sidewalks in front of their property. Lake
Linganore is responsible for common area sidewalks.
Please
• Do not park your cars on the streets, cul-de-
sacs or courts.
• Please park in driveways. Roads are narrow
and make it difficult for plow trucks to pass, as
well as liability if roads are slippery.
• Do not allow children to build tunnels in snow
banks (Plow trucks will push additional snow
into pile).
• Do not throw snow back into the roadway.
• Be patient.
TIPS
• Parking in driveway reduces the amount of snow you
have to shovel.
• Wait until all plowing is done before shoveling the
apron of the driveway.
• Be cautious, often the main roads within the
development are clear before Boyers Mill Road and
Gas House Pike are entirely open and passable.
DO YOU HAVE ITEMS IN YOUR EASEMENT?
Rules & Regulations Section 14 -Easement: No structure,
plantings or other material shall be placed in the rights-of-
ways easement area.
Residents are reminded that items should not be placed
in the rights-of-way easement. While every effort will be
made to preserve private property; LLA nor its contractors
will be responsible for damage to items stored within the
easement during snow plowing.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When will my road be plowed?
Primary roads are addressed first (Eaglehead Dr., Pinehurst
Dr., Sanandrew Dr., Finn Dr., etc.) followed by secondary
roads. Once all primary and secondary roads are open,
courts, cul-de-sacs, and townhouses will be opened.
Why haven’t they cleaned up my court thoroughly?
Once the snow has stopped, primary roads are cleaned up
first, followed by secondary roads, courts, cul-de-sacs, and
intersections. Also, cars parked on the side of the road or
in courts make it difficult to maneuver and efficiently plow.
Why aren’t they spreading salt?
Under most circumstances, the salt will be put down after
the snow has stopped. If you put salt down on top of snow,
it will be plowed off the road.
Do I need to shovel my sidewalk?
Yes, the homeowner is in charge of shoveling the sidewalk
in front of their homes (including Townhouses). The
Association is responsible for common area sidewalks.
