To accommodate guests during the holiday season, the Board has adopted a temporary emergency parking rule:

Guest Parking Registration

• Residents may register guest vehicles for overnight street parking within Stonebrae.
• To register, residents must provide the make, model, and license plate number to the Gate House.
• A temporary parking pass will be issued and must be clearly displayed on the vehicle dashboard at all times.

🗑️ Trash & Recycling Reminders

Please ensure trash containers, recycling carts, and compost bins are handled in accordance with HOA guidelines:

• Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before your scheduled pickup day.
• Carts must be removed from the street and stored out of public view the same day after service is completed.
• Overflowing containers or loose debris should be avoided to maintain neighborhood cleanliness.
• Please report missed pickups or bin issues to Recology directly and inform Management if you are expecting a follow-up service.

🎄 General Holiday Courtesy Reminders

• Be mindful of noise during gatherings and late-night events.
• Keep walkways, driveways, and sidewalks clear of decorations to maintain fire and emergency access.
• Dispose of Christmas trees in accordance with Recology’s seasonal pickup guidelines.
• Please drive slowly through the community during high-traffic holiday weeks.

The Board of Directors appreciates everyone’s cooperation in helping maintain a safe, beautiful, and festive community during the holiday season. Your adherence to these temporary rules and ongoing guidelines ensures a positive experience for all Stonebrae residents and their guests.
