Adopted December 2006

The Pla-Vada Community Association’s (PVCA) policy for snow removal is to plow all roads to provide access to homes/cabins and parking areas.

1. PVCA will plow when at least 4 inches of snow has fallen.
2. Plowing may be modified due to weather, equipment, and available personnel.
3. Chains or four-wheel drive vehicles are advised when snow/ice is present.
4. PVCA will post signs at plowed road entrances that state members and guests enter at their own risk.
5. Parking on plowed roads/road right-of-ways during snow removal periods, excepted as noted, is prohibited. Members and guests must park vehicles in a driveway, space, or lot that is clear of roadways. Berms will be created and are not the responsibility of PVCA2.
6. Vehicles parked in designated areas should have a placard placed visibly inside the vehicle identifying member/guest, address and telephone number (optional) of the person to be contacted in case of emergencies or moving of vehicles.
7. All vehicles parked in lots or designated areas must be moved at least every 48 hours for snow removal. Damage to vehicles not removed due to snow removal will not be the responsibility of PVCA.
8. When all off road parking spaces are full, parking may be available at other designated locations. A map of parking locations is attached, available at the office, or may obtained at http://plavada.com/.
9. Parked vehicles must not block access for emergency or snow removal equipment, plowed driveways, or another vehicle’s ingress or egress.
10. PVCA will not be responsible for plowing or packing private driveways3. Members may use their own equipment or contract with a snow plow/removal contractor to have their individual driveways/parking spaces cleared. Snow removed may not be deposited in or on PVCA roadways.
11. Members and/or contractors must not damage or create deep snow ruts on packed roads. Members and/or contractors may be held financially responsible for actual time and material costs to repair or replace PVCA roads and/or property caused by either by their own actions/equipment or their employment of a contractor.
12. The year-round speed limit for all vehicles, including recreational vehicles (which includes but is not limited to snowmobiles, ATVs, OHVs), is 15 MPH. The operation of recreational vehicles within Pla-Vada is limited to the hours between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
13. Improperly parked vehicles, unidentified vehicles, or vehicles parked over the time limits stated may be towed at the owner’s expense.
14. Snow depth measurements will be taken at the PVCA Office area.
15. PVCA is not responsible for berms caused by snow removal
16. Driveways/parking spaces more than 20’ cannot be accommodated. Please mark a 20’ opening. Snow that maybe blown into wider drives/spaces will not be removed by PVCA.
