Special Ice Rink Rules for 2025-2026 Winter Season

October 29, 2025

Background

Ice rinks are not specifically addressed in the Restrictions and Covenants but have been covered at least twice over the past few years in written statements mailed to our members by Fiduciary Real Estate Investments, LLC, the developer of our subdivision. The most recent of these statements was written in 2023 - a copy of that is available if you'd like.. As with their previous statement, issued during the Covid-19 pandemic, this statement provided conditions under which our members were allowed to build/install recreational ice rinks on their property, but only for the upcoming season.

You may recall that in the letter that was sent to our members this summer, we pointed out things that have been common violations of the restrictions and covenants to create greater awareness. Included was the following:

Recreational Equipment. We expect families to use their backyards for

recreational activities and allow the use of swing sets, trampolines, soccer goals, volleyball nets, etc. Only permanent hard courts and temporary ice rinks are not allowed.

Since the letter was sent, we have received several calls regarding this policy and have had discussions regarding it with some of our members. As a result, we have decided to adopt the following policy.

Temporary Ice Rinks will be allowed for the upcoming winter season under the following conditions:

1. Rinks must be pre-approved by the Architectural Control Committee. Contact

Chris Schmidt - schmidtclassic@gmail.com or 608-206-0492.

2. Maximum size is 20' x 40'. Maximum height of side boards is 2'

3. Rinks are allowed only in the back yard and must not be visible from the street.

4. Rinks may be installed after November 1 and must be removed by March 31.

5. Consideration must be given to the flow of water onto adjoining properties in the

event of melting conditions during the season and at the end of the season.

6. No additional lighting or music systems may be installed.

7. Rinks must not be used after 8:00 PM

This policy will be reviewed at the end of the season. Input from our members in areas where rinks have been installed will play a significant role in the decision to make the policy permanent. As with all our restrictions, the spirit of the rule is to ensure a safe, attractive and enjoyable neighborhood for our members and their families. Please consider how your use of a rink may impact your neighbors.
