IT’S TIME AGAIN TO REMIND YOU ABOUT THE SNOW REMOVAL RULES
SECTION 107 - VEHICLES, PARKING & DRIVING REGULATIONS
107.11
During the winter months, residents must move their vehicles as
necessary for snow removal by the Maintenance Department. The
following schedule has been determined for snow removal from parking
areas. The drivers of the trucks plowing the snow will honk their horns to
notify you that they are attempting to plow your parking area.
YOUR COOPERATION IS REQUIRED.
107.11(a)
Members living in even addresses (i.e., 31008, 15608, etc.) will have their
parking areas plowed between 9:00 am and 12:00 NOON. All cars must
be removed from the parking areas before 9:00 a.m.
107.11(b)
Members living in odd addresses (i.e. 31125 15819, etc.) will have their
parking areas plowed between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm. All cars must be
removed from the parking areas before 1:00 p.m.
107.11(c)
The only exception to this rule will be those areas of Darby Lane that have
parking on one side of the street only. These parking areas will be plowed
in the afternoon, between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm with the odd addresses.
107.12
Residents not moving their cars during the appropriate time periods for
snow removal may have their vehicles towed away at the owner’s
expense and receive a $50.00 Administrative Enforcement Fee.
107.13
Residents or their guests having inoperable vehicles in the parking areas
during snow removal will also be subject to having their vehicles towed
away at the owner’s expense and receive a $50.00 Administrative
Enforcement Fee.
If you do not have a Hanover Grove parking decal in your rear window
and you have not complied with the above rules we will have no way to
notify you and you will be towed away at your expense!
ATTENTION RESIDENTS — SNOW SEASON IS ON ITS WAY
107.18
No vehicle shall be parked in any Hanover Grove parking area at

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the onion in vegetable oil. When the onion is soft

In a pot of boiling water, cook the potatoes about 20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain well and
