Food Trucks Coming to Fallsmead
The Social Committee has reserved Captain Cookie DC (
www.captaincookiedc.com) to visit us on Sunday, May 16th, at 2:30pm in the Fallsmead pool parking lot. This will be a regular walk up food truck service for you to purchase from. There will be on-street parking only due to safety reasons while the truck is visiting us. In addition, please continue to adhere to current CDC and Montgomery County guidelines during our community events. Contact the Social Committee via the
Contact Us page if you have any questions!
Tennis Court Reservation Process Change
The
Reservations page for the Fallsmead tennis courts was changed so that reservations can only be made when you are logged into the Fallsmead.org website as a resident. This was done to prevent non-residents from reserving the Fallsmead courts. The process is the same otherwise, and you will be sent the gate combination via email when you make your reservation.
A reminder that you must register for each use of the courts, and the combination will be changed frequently.
If you find that you no longer need a reservation that you made, please log on and delete your reservation so that the courts will be available for other Fallsmead residents. To do this when logged in, go to the
Reservations page and click “My Reservations” on the upper right side and then click “delete” next to the reservation you no longer need.
Please contact the Racket Sports Committee via the
Contact Us page if you have any questions.
Trucks in Fallsmead
The Board of Directors adopted in December 2020 a new "Overnight Garaging of Trucks & Commercial Vehicles Rule & Regulation" regarding the interpretation of Article VII, Section 4 of the Covenants that address overnight parking of commercial vehicles and trucks to define the terms “commercial vehicles” and “trucks” as used in the Covenants.
Under the new Rule and Regulation, the following vehicles are required to be garaged overnight:
- Commercial vehicles;
- Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating of 8,500 pounds or greater; and
- Any vehicle with a GVW rating under 8,500 pounds with an exposed flat/cargo bed, and/or physical divider between the passenger cab area and the other portion of the vehicle, unless the flat/cargo bed is covered with a fitted and intact covering, such as a tonneau cover or cap no higher than the cab, provided the covering is used to cover the flat/cargo bed overnight, or the flat/cargo bed is kept empty overnight.
Trucks as defined in the new Rule and Regulation with a GVW under 8,500 do NOT have to be garaged overnight if they have a cover over their cargo bed or their truck bed is empty.
