EVERYONE!  The covenants are regulations pertaining to every property and home within Clover Hill and are on file at the county courthouse.  Covenants for the individual subdivisions (Clover Hill I, II East, II West, Clover Hill III and Cloverdale) differ, so it is important for homeowners to have a copy of the covenants pertaining to their property.  Click here for ARC Details.

If you have any doubt whether ARC approval is required for a particular project, call the CHCA office at 301-228-2799 or email manager@cloverhill.org. 

Applications received at least two business days in advance of an upcoming ARC meeting will be reviewed during the meeting and homeowners will receive a decision in writing within 30 days of the meeting.  You should receive verification of receipt of your request within 7 business days of submitting your application.  If you do not, please contact the office by phone or email.  The ARC meets once per month.  

 

The ARC approval time frame begins upon receipt of a complete application package that is received at least 2 business days prior to the next scheduled ARC meeting.  If an incomplete package is received, a new review period begins upon resubmission of a complete package by the homeowner.  If resubmissions are received less than 2 business days prior to the upcoming meeting, review and consideration will be delayed until the next scheduled ARC meeting.

If changes are made without ARC approval, you may be asked to remove any new structures or to reverse the changes made.  Homeowners may also be responsible for legal costs associated with compliance enforcement.

The short answer is the CHCA is BOTH a Homeowner's Association and a Civic Association. 

 

The long answer is that the CHCA has elements of both a "Civic Association" and an "HOA" because the CHCA was formed in 1967, twenty years before the Maryland HOA Act was first enacted.  Attempts were clearly made by Ausherman Properties and the CHCA Board of Directors to put the CHCA in compliance with the HOA Act in 1990, but these were mainly "additions" with existing documents remaining mostly intact.  What exists today is a creative melding of a  "HOA" and "Civic Association".

Definitely!

Go to Frederick County Recycling Information for additional details and to determine your recycling schedule.

Clover Hill's fire hydrants are part of the county’s infrastructure and supported by the city of Frederick. The hydrants are fitted with a “boot” that directs discharged water in two directions.  Presently, part of the water safety protocol involves flushing or purging hydrants periodically to clear microorganisms and other contaminants.  This “flushing” means that water is released from hydrants at scheduled times each day.  Due to pressure, water loudly surges and creates streams flowing from hydrants. This will continue until a planned Fishing Creek Water Plant project is online.

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding pedestrians crossing Christopher's Crossing in the Clover Hill neighborhood. 

 

At this time there are no pedestrian accommodations on Christopher's Crossing or the intersecting streets in the Clover Hill neighborhood.  The County’s capital improvement project will address this by installing a sidewalk or path on each side of Christopher's Crossing, and crossings at the intersections with Yellow Springs Road, Stone Ridge Drive, Glen Heather Drive, and Jordan Valley Way/Walter Martz Road.

 

As an interim improvement, the County will consider installing painted pavement markings and additional pedestrian warning signs on Christopher's Crossing at Stone Ridge Drive and Glen Heather Drive.  The pavement markings will establish a legal crosswalk, which will require on-coming motorists to stop for pedestrians that are within the crosswalk on the same side of the road as the motorist.  Pedestrians will be expected to exercise care when initiating a crossing, to make sure that the on-coming vehicle is able to see them and come to a complete stop.

 

Please be aware that, when traveling along roads that do not have sidewalks, pedestrians are expected to walk on the left side of the road facing on-coming traffic.

 

If you have any questions regarding this matter I can be reached at (301) 600-2930, or at dolney@frederickcountymd.gov.
