Information for Residents
Important Dates:
Annual Resident Meeting: September 8th
Fall Garage Sale: October 3rd
Neighborhood Email List:
If you don't currently receive the Board/Neighborhood Watch emails -
please contact Board Member, Maria Starkey at 543-2424 or email AndoverForest@aol.com
Maria will add your email (or multiple) address and information to the list.
The current Neighborhood Watch list is used for notifying residents of important safety issues and concerns and for important reminders and information from the Andover Forest Board. It is called the Neighborhood Watch list - but used for information purposes at this time.
A new website is being constructe and the Board will undertake a campaign to make sure all residents receive information via this media.
This will keep the residents better informed and will enable residents to use a 'Search' to obtain information there readily.
Please be sure to make sure YOUR address has been added. When the new site comes online - all residents will be able to access it by login and change their information to keep it updated as well as use it to 'communicate' with other residents in an exchange-style format. It will be quite interactive and hopefully a useful tool for all.

Street Trees info:
Are located within a public right-of-way, such as the strip between the sidewalk and curb. A
FREE permit (see NOTE below) must be obtained from the LFUCG's Urban Forester
before a street tree may be planted and before any street tree larger than three inches in diameter
may be removed [Section 17B-2 & 17B-3]. The property owner or occupant is responsible for
maintaining street trees and may not allow them to interfere with the sidewalk or obstruct the view
or passage on the sidewalk or street [Section 17B-8]. There should be a 12 to 14-foot clearance
under trees hanging over a street and sidewalks require a 7-foot clearance.
Street trees that are removed by the property owner because of damage or disease
must be replaced and fallen trees must be removed by the property owner.
The Division of Streets & Roads (425.2255) may remove fallen trees only for emergency public access.
For more information or a brochure on street trees, call the Urban Forester at 258.3286.
NOTE: Andover Forest Homeowners Association and it's residents now have a
'blanket permit'
to allow removal of any street pear tree and replace it with the 'above assigned' tree -
without obtaining a permit from LFUCG.
