Carter Hill is a quiet community (near I-270) in Montgomery County that includes Dundee Road, Guy Court, Emily Drive, Dundee Court, & Edith Drive.  It consists of 55 town homes & 35 manor homes, along with tall trees & open spaces, adjacent to Glenora Park.  Our children attend Lakewood Elementary, Frost Middle School, & Wootton High School (rated among the 100 best in the U.S).  A community pool is available to residents & associate members during the summer; for a fee it can be rented for private parties.  Last day for swimming at the pool is Monday (Labor Day), Sept. 6.  (Click on POOL, at left, for more information.)  NEW RULE:  SMOKING is allowed ONLY ON THE GRASSY AREA and NOWHERE else in the pool complex.

COMMUNITY SOCIAL held July 17 was a big success despite the heat.  This year Andy Hess and Nick Gorshkov were our chefs, turning out excellent hotdogs, burgers and chicken.  Once again, our DJ Tony played upbeat music and held several games for the children.  Big thanks to Abby Lewis for the shopping and onsite work she did; also to all who brought tasty dishes to share and helped in other ways.  Coming soon: photos.

DID YOU KNOW?

...that there is a new website that lists which County library has the largest collections in Russian, Chinese and other languages; children's items; movies; etc.?  You can find it at www.MoCoLibraries.com . 

...that we have new neighbors at 100 Emily Drive?  Please welcome Jing Wu & Jack Yao and their family, who have moved into their newly renovated house on the corner.  Also, do welcome Micchaelle Shultz & Sheri Phillips at 12 Guy Court, Avi & Amalia Levi at 13 Guy, and Nga Nguyen & Mudumbai Ranganathan at 14 Guy Court.

...that one can procure an American flag (a new one is hoisted daily or more often) that's flown over the U. S. Capitol?  Contact your Senator or Congressman and ask how - there is usually a fee.

... that our Ben Stubenberg was instrumental in bringing 13 Haitian firefighters here for training in May 2009; those firefighters went on to be part of the rescue operation in Haiti?  According to Rockville Living, Ben  has been active in Haiti for years and is VP for TractorShare, which provides tractors and other tools to farmers in Haiti and other developing nations.

OWNERS WHO HAVE NOT PAID 2010 ASSESSMENT despite reminders. In addition to the assessment, the following also now owe a late fee of 10% per annum from April 16, 2010 –

1911 Dundee Road – Yin

104 Edith  – Caramanico

301 Hurley – Finizio

OWNER WHO HAS NOT PAID 2009 ASSESSMENT

301 Hurley – Finizio – Lien placed against that property

Article XI of the By-Laws states, in part

“…Any assessments which are not paid when due shall be delinquent.  If the assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the rate of 10 percent per annum, and the Association may bring an action at law against the property, and interest, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees of any such action shall be added to the amount of such assessment…”  

Registered users can view the By-Laws by clicking on DOCUMENTS, at the left.

(1) Starting this year, the names of those who DO NOT PAY THEIR ANNUAL DUES in a timely manner (or make arrangements for payment) will be listed on this page - IN ADDITION, late fee(s) will be added and owners may have a lien placed on their property.   (See Article XI of the By-laws - click on DOCUMENTS at left, then on BY-LAWS.)

(2) Tuesday-only trash/garbage/recyclables/yard waste collection is now in effect.  There is no longer pick-up on Mondays and Thursdays. See below and at Trash Pickup (click at left) for more information.

Carter Hill residents received information from the City concerning changes in collection of trash and recyclables.  Nothing changed EXCEPT that Carter Hill trash and recyclables are now picked up only once a week on Tuesdays.  (See the collection calendar you received for exceptions at holiday times.)   Carter Hill residents may continue to use 32 gallon trash cans and blue recycling bins. If, however, you want to get the larger containers call the City at 240-314-8568.   For special pick-up info, click on TRASH PICKUP at left.

Carter Hill is exempt from using the new larger, wheeled containers for trash and recycling that many others will be using.  This is mainly due to the fact that the containers must be kept in our back yards, and many of the townhouse back yards have no easy access for hauling the large containers to the curb for pick up. 

Please read ALL of the information you received about refuse and recyclables collection.  Then, if your home has access to the curb without going thru someone else’s property and you want to get the larger containers – or if you still have questions – call the City at 240-314-8568.
