Community Update on Ice Conditions and Board Actions
Homeowners of Pebble Lake,
The Board of Directors is providing this update regarding the significant ice conditions following last weekend’s storm and the extended period of below-freezing temperatures, which are forecast to continue through this Sunday.
We fully understand the frustration and safety concerns this situation has created. No one is satisfied with the current conditions, including the Board. Unfortunately, this weather event is uncommon for our area and presents conditions that are unusually difficult to address safely or effectively.
Since the storm, the Board has been in daily contact with our snow and ice removal contractor. We have also been in contact with our property manager to help advise the board. Based on their professional guidance—and consistent with industry standards—the contractor has advised against mechanical scraping or plowing at this time. Under current conditions, scraping would remove packed snow and ice down to pavement, which then refreezes into a smooth, uneven ice surface. This significantly increases slip-and-fall risk and potential liability and can leave roadways and sidewalks more hazardous than if left undisturbed.
The approximately ¼ inch of ice that accumulated last week has required manual ice removal in many of the communities serviced by our contractor. Manual removal involves crews physically breaking ice and using heavy equipment to remove it. This process is extremely slow, creates substantial service delays, and increases costs by four to six times normal snow operations. What would ordinarily take one to two hours can take a full day or more.
For Pebble Lake specifically, we received a quote with a low-end cost of $14,000 for a single day of mechanical ice removal (labor and front loader). This pricing is not price-gouging; it is the contracted rate established prior to the season and reflects current regional demand and limited contractor availability.
For your context:
- The 2026 snow and ice budget is $5,500.
- In a typical winter, the community requires 2–4 treatments of rock salt, usually totaling $3,000–$6,000.
- Two calcium chloride treatments have already been completed at the contractor’s recommendation (calcium chloride is significantly more expensive than standard rock salt but is more effective and safer at low temperatures), with an expected cost of $3,000–$5,000.
- Approximately $1,500 remains in the 2026 snow budget for 2026.
- The Board could apply up to $3,000 in discretionary funds, leaving a minimum shortfall of $10,000.
- All remaining Association funds are legally restricted for other designated purposes and cannot be repurposed by law.
Given these realities, the Board has two lawful options:
- Wait for temperatures to rise, at which point treatment becomes effective again, and perform an additional treatment when conditions allow using remaining available funds.
- Pursue a special assessment, which would require approval by two-thirds of the homeowners. A minimum assessment to remove the current ice would be approximately $100 per household, in addition to regular dues. This would not cover any additional snow or ice events through December 31, 2026, and any further winter events could require an additional vote and assessment.
In an ideal scenario with unlimited resources, the Board would authorize daily mechanical removal until the community was fully clear. However, the Board has a fiduciary duty to operate within the approved budget and to act in the best long-term financial and legal interests of the Association as a whole.
After careful consideration, professional consultation, and review of our legal and financial constraints, the Board has determined that the most responsible course of action is to monitor conditions closely and perform additional treatments once temperatures return to normal seasonal ranges, which is currently forecast for early next week following this weekend’s storm.
The Board recognizes that this is not the outcome we—or homeowners—would prefer. Please understand that this decision was made carefully, documented thoroughly, and based on professional advice in a situation that is not normal for our community. We will continue to reassess conditions daily and provide updates as circumstances change.
Due to the extreme nature of this weather event, the Association cannot guarantee that roads or sidewalks will be free of snow or ice. Residents and guests must use caution and good judgment at all times. Neither the Association nor its contractors are responsible for injuries resulting from winter weather conditions, or for damage to personal property left in common areas during necessary snow or ice operations.
We understand how frustrating this situation is and wish there were a better option available. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during this challenging and unusual weather event.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors
Pebble Lake
Homeowners,
The Board is continuing to monitor storm conditions and remains in daily contact with our snow/ice contractor.
Current contractor guidance form today’s visit: no plowing at this time. Due to the freezing rain, plowing at other communities has been creating ice slicks after plowing and as a result they are no longer recommending plowing. The snow is providing better traction than exposed ice would provide.
Next step (tomorrow afternoon): The contractor will be on-site to reassess conditions tomorrow afternoon when temperatures rise above freezing, at which time calcium chloride treatment will be more effective. If conditions warrant, the contractor has Board authorization to treat and/or plow as needed to protect safety and maintain emergency access.
Safety reminders
- Expect slippery conditions for the next several days, including refreezing overnight. Use extreme caution on sidewalks, steps, and roadways.
- Limit walking/driving if possible. Wear appropriate footwear and use handrails.
Responsibilities
- HOA: The Association addresses the main/walking sidewalks and community roadways as conditions allow.
- Homeowners: Each homeowner is responsible for the walkway from the main sidewalk to the townhouse entrance, plus steps/porch and driveways.
Parking and access
- Please avoid parking in a way that restricts equipment access.
- Towing is enforced in all fire lanes to maintain emergency access.
Report urgent hazards
For urgent common-area issues (blocked roadway, downed limbs, unsafe conditions), contact ACS West at (804) 282-7451. For emergencies, call 911.
Important notice
The Association will take reasonable steps to respond to winter conditions; however, the Association cannot guarantee that roads or sidewalks will be free of snow/ice at all times. Residents and guests must use caution and good judgment. Neither the Association nor the contractor is responsible for injuries resulting from winter weather conditions, or for damage to personal items left in common areas during necessary snow/ice operations.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors
Homeowners,
This is a storm update for Sunday, January 25.
We are continuing to monitor conditions and remain in close contact with our snow/ice removal contractor. Freezing rain and ice are expected, followed by several days of below-freezing temperatures, which may cause persistent slick conditions and repeated refreezing.
Contractor status and Board authorization
-
Our contractor is monitoring conditions across multiple communities and is also assisting the County with plowing operations, so response timing can vary as conditions change.
-
The Board has authorized the contractor to take reasonable actions they believe are necessary to protect safety and maintain emergency access for our community, including treatment and plowing when conditions warrant.
Current recommendation
At this time, the contractor is not recommending plowing or additional treatment. When precipitation is primarily freezing rain/ice, plowing is typically ineffective and can create additional hazards. Similarly, de-icing materials are less effective while freezing rain is actively falling and surfaces are continuously re-freezing.
Next planned action
-
We have a scheduled treatment planned once the freezing rain ends.
-
After that treatment, the contractor will reassess whether plowing will be beneficial based on accumulation, roadway conditions, and temperatures.
-
If conditions warrant, the contractor has permission to plow without additional Board approval so they can respond promptly.
Sidewalk and driveway responsibilities
-
HOA responsibility: The Association will treat and address the main/walking sidewalks in the community as conditions allow.
-
Homeowner responsibility: Each homeowner is responsible for the sidewalk/walkway from the main walking sidewalk to the townhouse entrance, as well as their steps, porch/stoop, and driveway.
Resident safety reminders
-
Please avoid unnecessary walking or driving during the storm and the prolonged freeze. Even treated surfaces may remain slick due to refreezing.
-
Use extra caution on steps, shaded areas, slopes, and curb transitions.
-
Wear appropriate footwear and use handrails.
To help storm operations and keep emergency access open
-
If possible, avoid parking on community streets during storm response periods so equipment can safely access the full roadway.
-
Keep trash/recycling bins, vehicles, and personal items out of roadways and away from curb lines and sidewalks.
-
Towing is enforced in fire lanes to ensure emergency access at all times.
Reporting urgent issues
If you see an urgent common-area issue (downed tree/limb, blocked access, impassable area, etc.), please contact ACS West at (804) 282-7451. For emergencies, call 911.
Important notice
The Association will make reasonable efforts to treat common areas; however, the Association cannot guarantee that roads or sidewalks will be free of ice at all times during winter conditions. All residents and guests must use caution and good judgment. Neither the contractor nor the Association is responsible for damage to personal items left in common areas that may occur during necessary snow/ice removal or treatment operations.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to keep the community as safe and accessible as possible.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors

GUTTER INSPECTION/CLEANING
Homeowners are responsible for routine gutter maintenance under the Association’s governing documents. As a one-time courtesy for 2026, the Board has approved and is funding a community-wide gutter inspection and cleaning to help protect roofs, fascia, and drainage systems.
The current expected dates are Monday January 19th through Friday January 31. This is weather dependent.
Please note: This courtesy service does not shift ongoing maintenance responsibility from the homeowner and does not amend or waive any existing owner obligations.
What to Expect
-
The contractor will perform a gutter inspection and cleaning during the scheduled window, weather permitting.
-
Work will occur during normal daytime hours. The Association/contractor may not be able to provide a precise day/time for each home.
-
The contractor will proceed on a home-by-home basis and may skip a home if conditions are unsafe or access is blocked.
Homeowner Preparation Requirements (Action Needed)
To ensure your home can be serviced, please complete the following before the start of the scheduled window:
-
Move vehicles from the driveway if possible.
This improves access and reduces the risk of accidental contact from ladders, tools, water, or debris. -
Remove all gutter/downspout extensions before service and reinstall them after cleaning.
Extensions can interfere with safe access and proper flushing of downspouts. -
Relocate or secure items around the work area.
This includes (but is not limited to) plants, patio furniture, grills, décor, hose reels, toys, and any attached or hanging items near gutters/downspouts. -
Close all windows and exterior doors.
While the contractor will take reasonable care, water and debris may fall or splash during cleaning and flushing. -
Provide safe access where applicable.
If your layout requires access through a gate or into a fenced area, please ensure gates are unlocked and clear during the service window.
Liability and Risk Allocation
-
The homeowner is solely responsible for removing/relocating personal property and maintaining a safe, unobstructed work area.
-
The Association, management company, and contractor do not assume responsibility or liability for damage to personal property that is not removed/secured as requested.
-
The contractor will not relocate personal items and reserves the right to decline service at any home where access is blocked or conditions are deemed unsafe.
Thank you for helping this courtesy service go smoothly and safely for everyone. If you have questions, please contact the management company.

All homeowners have been mailed a proposed 2024 Budget!
Dear Owners of the Village at Pebble Lake Townhouse Owners’ Association, Inc.:
Our Homeowners’ Association fees pay for the services and amenities we enjoy in this community. As you know, every owner in the Village at Pebble Lake has partial ownership in all of the common areas within the Village. As representatives of the owners, the Board of Directors is charged with maintaining or improving the common areas within the community. We all share in the costs through the assessment fees.
The Board of Directors also has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure the Association’s finances and reserves are sufficient to cover long-term costs such as maintenance, repair, and replacement of our capital assets over their lifetime. A previous Board hired an external firm to create a reserve study to advise it and future boards on the customary and appropriate levels of reserves needed for a community of our size and asset types. Based on that study, we have increased our reserve budget this year and will likely need to do so in the future.
Therefore, the Board of Directors has determined that our assessment will need to increase from $156 per month in 2023 to $170.50 per month in 2024. This includes a $3.00 increase per home in the reserve amount, as required by the reserve study. It also includes a $11.50 increase in the operating budget, to cover vendor increases due to inflation. Please know that the increase is not taken lightly. A copy of the proposed budget for 2023 is attached and has been mailed to all owners at the address on file.

Why You Should Always Pick Up after Your Dog’s Poop
1. It’s A Matter of respect for people and the community. Cleaning up after your dog is always the right thing to do. It’s unfair to other residents to leave your dog’s poop laying around. No one likes to step in poop and take it into homes, cars and businesses. If you’ve ever tried to get dog poop out of the treads of your shoes, you know how infuriating it can be.
2. It’s bad for the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies pet waste as a toxic pollutant and places it in the same category as chemical and oil spills. The EPA estimates that just two days’ worth of dog waste from about 100 dogs would contribute enough pollution to close a beach and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it.
Stormwater carries dog poop directly into waterways. Dog waste contains nutrients and pathogens that harm local waters by depleting the oxygen in water necessary for beneficial underwater grasses, wildlife and fish. In addition, dog waste decomposes in waterways releasing nutrients that cause excessive growth of algae and weeds. The water becomes murky, green, and smelly.
3. Dog poop poses a health threat to people and pets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dog poop can contain parasites and germs that can be harmful to humans. In particular, roundworms and hookworms deposited by infected animals can live in the soil for long periods of time and be transmitted to other humans and animals.
In addition, veterinary experts at Drs. Foster and Smith say that giardia and E-coli can be transmitted from feces to people and dogs. Dogs can also spread or contract parvovirus or coronavirus through infected feces.
4. Dog poop is not a natural fertilizer. One of the top reasons people give for not cleaning up after their dogs is a belief that dog waste is natural and good for the Earth, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
However—unlike cow or horse manure—dog waste is not good for the soil. That’s because cows and horses are herbivores, whereas dogs are omnivores, and their diet is high in protein, say experts at Practica, a pet waste management company. In fact, dog waste is so high in nitrogen and phosphorus it can burn grass if not picked up.
5. It takes dog waste a long time to decompose. Many people who don’t pick up after their dogs believe that it’s no big deal, because the poop will quickly decompose.
This is not true. According to Clear Choices Clean Water, dog poop can take up to a year to break down depending on the climate and the dog’s diet. And even after the poop breaks down the bacteria and parasites remain in the soil.
6. We’ve made it easy for you! There are multiple dog waste disposal stations around the grounds. We even supply the bags! Please make use of them and we’ll all have a cleaner, healthier community. Thanks!
