From our email:
Dear Community,
We hope that your week is off to a great start. We had a few important pieces of information that we wanted to share with you. Please read the information below carefully.
Insurance Update
Please read the attached letter regarding critical information for our insurance company. This is important information and it is important that everyone read it.
Fireworks Safety
With the fireworks season upon us, it’s important to celebrate safely—especially in neighborhoods where homes are close together. While Ohio law permits consumer fireworks use on certain holidays, it's crucial to take steps that minimize the risk of injuries, fires, and property damage.
Protecting Homes & Property:
Use fireworks on a flat, fire-resistant surface like concrete or gravel—never on grass, decks, or near mulch beds.
Keep fireworks far from buildings, vehicles, fences, and trees. A recommended safe distance is at least 30 feet for ground devices and 100 feet for aerial fireworks.
Remove flammable materials from the area, such as dry leaves, brush, or outdoor furniture cushions.
Water down the launch and surrounding area before and after use, especially in dry weather.
Have a hose or fire extinguisher ready and easily accessible in case of sparks or flare-ups.
Outdoor Play Reminder
Summer is here, and we love seeing kids outside enjoying the sunshine and staying active! Outdoor play is an important part of childhood, and our neighborhood is a great place for it. That said, we want to gently remind families to help ensure that playtime remains safe and respectful for everyone in the community.
We’ve recently received reports of children climbing trees in various yards, hiding under parked vehicles, and engaging in other potentially dangerous behaviors. While we know this kind of play can be innocent and spontaneous, it does raise serious safety concerns—not only for the children involved but also for unit owners.
Please keep a watchful eye on kids while they are playing outdoors, and remind them:
Not to climb trees, especially those on Worthington Heights property (this is an insurance liability for the entire community).
To avoid playing near or under vehicles, even if they are parked.
To respect neighbors’ lawn space, flowers, and shrubbery.
Drones
We’ve recently seen a few small drones being flown around the property. While we don’t currently have a policy in place, some drones have been observed flying over fenced-in lawns and close to units. This raises valid safety and privacy concerns for residents.
If you are flying a drone, please be considerate of your neighbors and avoid flying near homes or private spaces. If these concerns continue, the association may need to consider placing restrictions on drone use.
Additionally,
Parking is not permitted on the North side of Sessis Drive from 7/1-7/3 @ 7PM. The city is working to fix a water line leak.
Enjoy your week and have a safe Independence Day!
Worthington Heights, Board of Directors
