Parking Ban – Effective 7:00 PM Sunday through 7:00 PM Tuesday

To allow plow crews full access to the roads and properly manage the expected snowfall, a parking ban will be in effect during this period.

  • Residents of multi-plex units must park only in their assigned parking spaces.
  • Residents of duplexes must park in their driveways or garages.
  • No parking is permitted on roadways or in guest parking areas during the ban.

Any vehicle left on the road or in guest parking areas may be towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.

After the storm, please expect roads, driveways, and parking areas to be narrow with high snow banks limiting visibility.  Guest parking areas may not be fully plowed.  For everyone’s safety:

  • The speed limit on our roads is 15 mph.  Owners are responsible for their guests.  Do not exceed the posted speed limit.
  • All circles (Quail, Grouse, Overlook, and the end of Pheasant Run) are one-way traffic.  Traffic must travel counter-clockwise.
  • Be aware of where you and your guests have parked.  Any vehicle that is in any way blocking access to or from an owner’s driveway or assigned spot may be towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep the community safe, accessible, and protected during this harsh winter.

Reminder: Planning Board Hearing – Please Attend

Dear Unit Owners,

This is a friendly but important reminder that the Town of Smithfield Planning Board will hold a public hearing regarding the proposed development uphill from our condominium community.

📅 Thursday, February 19
🕕 6:00 PM
📍 Smithfield Town Hall

As previously shared, the Town will not be mailing notices. This meeting is our opportunity to ensure that our community’s concerns are clearly heard and formally entered into the public record.

The Management Committee continues to have significant concerns about the potential impacts of this project, including:

  • Drainage and stormwater runoff
  • Blasting and vibration impacts
  • Erosion and slope stability
  • Construction-related noise, dust, and traffic
  • Long-term effects on infrastructure and utilities
  • Environmental impacts and potential effects on property values
  • Changes to neighborhood character and density
  • Visual impacts and loss of natural buffers
  • Long-term maintenance burdens on our drainage systems
  • Road closures and detours on our private roads

While the Committee will be present and prepared to speak, a strong in-person turnout from unit owners is essential. Public boards take note not only of what is said, but how many residents are engaged enough to attend. Simply being present makes a meaningful difference.

If you are able, please make plans to attend. Even if you prefer not to speak, your presence helps demonstrate the importance of this matter to our entire community.

Thank you for your continued involvement and commitment to protecting our property and quality of life. We hope to see many of you there.

Sincerely,
The Management Committee

Traffic Notice – February 4 (Updated)

Owners may have noticed increased traffic on our private roads on the evening of February 4.

The Smithfield Police Department implemented a detour on Whipple Hill, directing all uphill traffic onto Pheasant Run. We have reached out to the department for details on the duration of this detour and will share updates when they are available.

Update: We have been informed that they will also be there tomorrow (Thursday, February 5). They are working on water tomorrow, and gas today and tonight. We have asked if they could implement a different detour.
