Snow & Ice Removal
It’s been snowing a lot.
Sidewalks are your responsibility! The bylaws (4.3.a) require homeowners to keep their sidewalks reasonably free of ice & snow. It’s important to keep the sidewalks passable since they are used every day by your neighbors & children walking to/from school or bus stops. It’s not OK to leave 4-6″ of snow covering your sidewalks days after a storm.
Please ensure that your snow remains on your property. You (or the service you hire for snow removal) should not be plowing, pushing, blowing, or otherwise moving your snow on to neighbor’s property.
Please be extra mindful and avoid on-street parking especially overnight and during snowstorms. While on-street parking is generally prohibited, vehicles parked on the road impede access to the snowplows & salt trucks.
Sewer Billing
We expect Plainfield Township will begin billing our sewer usage starting with January, 2026. These bills will be sent out in March, and continue monthly from then. We will have finalized details on the rates & assessment info shortly as well.
According to the Township:
The first bill for January will go out by March 1st, and bills are always due on the 20th of the month or the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday, so March 23rd will be the first due date.
Check payments can be mailed using the included envelope and payment coupon (tear off stub at bottom) using the address on the coupon, made in person at Plainfield Township Hall (Cash, Check, or Card), using your bank online bill pay, or online using our new payment website and my.plainfieldmi.org (Bank ACH Debit or Card) that uses the PayItGov platform that Grand Rapids uses if any of your members moved from there. There is a phone payment line that accepts payments over the phone, using the same service as the website. Please note that PayIt charges 2.75% for all credit or debit card payments (in-person, online, or phone), but Cash, Check, Online Bill Pay, and ACH via PayIt are all free.
Bills are always viewable online via the BSAOnline Site for Plainfield Charter Township: https://bsaonline.com/?uid=682, by searching by address or account number, and PayIt will have a link to them as well.
Architectural Requests
All exterior modifications including but not limited to decks & patios, pools, fencing, satellite dishes, driveway expansions, non-traditional landscaping, etc., should be going through the Architectural committee for review & approval. This process is intended to help ensure that such modifications are made in compliance with the existing bylaws and established guidelines. The forms & instructions to begin this process are available on the website: Architectural Change Requests.
General Reminders
- On-street parking is always prohibited. During winter months, this rule is especially important as vehicles parked on the street overnight do impede the trucks from salting/plowing the streets.
- The construction entrance should not be used by residents or guests of residents.
