Lakeport Cluster

Posted By Lakeport Cluster on February 7, 2010

According to WTOP radio, this is the largest snowfall for the Washington metro area ever recorded, with Dulles Airport reporting 32.4 inches.

Genesis drivers desperately moved the snow to open the roads to give us access to Sunrise Valley Drive. We don’t have much space to pile snow, so many people will have lots of digging out to do. They apologize for any cars and driveways blocked in, but please understand that this was the best they could do with 30″ of snow.

Genesis hopes to line up tractors and will work through the week to widen the roads and clear blocked areas, but since tractors are in high demand, it may be a few days. Once the plow work is done, Genesis will sand, but we’ve asked them to sand the Lakespray and entrance hills.

Today’s relatively warm and sunny weather helps to melt the snow, but that makes it heavier and harder to move. Nonetheless, it might be a good idea to clear your drives now before they ice over.

Also, a number of people have fallen tree limbs. Genesis will be able to help us clear them once our snow crisis is resolved. If you have specific requests, please contact Michelle at michelle.k.kinch@gmail.com to be added to a list.

Please be patient during this historical time.

Snow removal crews started in the middle of the night and should be done clearing the 4-6″ of snow from our streets and parking areas. Don’t expect sanding, because most areas uncovered old sand. With 40 degrees today, things should get better not worse.

According to Accuweather.com, there is a significant snowfall facing us again Friday into Saturday. We could be facing measurements similar to Decembers “big storm” (15-18″). If we get hit with another “big one” this week, Genesis knows what needs done based on lessons learned from then.

Before we know it, you will be seeing us cutting green grass around flowering trees.

We’d like to thank everyone that participated in the Holiday Spirit with lights, caroling, etc.!  With your help, the Cluster looked very cheerful and seemed to “warm up” this holiday season, but it’s time to face 2010.

As a reminder, the Lakeport Handbook’s Section II (Cluster Rules and Traditional Customs & Courtesies) requires that all ”Winter holiday lighting and decorations [...] be removed by January 15th.”  If you haven’t already removed your decorations, please plan to this week.

The Lakeport Cluster Association is forming the 2009‐2010 Standards Committee. If you are interested in volunteering your time to establish the next phase of standards updates and reviews, please join now. This committee will be responsible for reviewing, researching, writing, and finalizing approval through Reston Association’s (RA) Design Review Board (DRB).

We are pleased to announce that since there have been no content changes, the revised Awning and Garage Door Standards have been approved by RA. That’s only the beginning though. The following Standards need revision: Outdoor lighting, House numbers, Colors, Decks – Trex in front?, Storm doors, Siding, Windows, Roofing, and more!

Please RSVP your interest to James Pan at jpamco@yahoo.com
