In September 2004 Nottingham Forest Homes Association assumed responsibility for all mailboxes in order to maintain a standard for the community. Mailboxes are owned by NFHA and are not to be defaced or changed in any manner. Should you experience a problem with your mailbox (magnet, flag, door, post or vehicle damage) contact Steve Parker at 913-375-2261 (E-Mail: sparkey250@gmail.com).

Overland Park is responsible for all trees located in the parkway (or within 11′ of the inside curb if no sidewalk exists). Trees that are removed will be replaced at the discretion of Overland Park and within budget constraints. When trees are replaced the homeowner is responsible for routine watering, pruning and other care. Homeowners may replace parkway trees as long as selection is made from Overland Park’s approved street tree list. You may review Overland Park’s Street Tree Policy (Overland Park Municipal Code Chapter 7.16, Trees and Shrubs).

NFHA annually trims all parkway trees (normally in January) to a height of 8′ over sidewalks and 13′ over roadways in accordance with Overland Park’s requirements. During the growing season it is the responsibility of the homeowner to trim tree limbs that overhang sidewalks and obstruct pedestrian traffic. The City Forester may be contacted with additional questions (913-327-6639) regarding pruning or replacement of parkway trees. Please read…

Tree and Shrub Maintenance Policy according to the City of Overland Park:
Dead trees and broken or dead limbs that present a hazard to the public must be removed.

You must keep shrubs and trees trimmed to eliminate sight distance problems on corner properties.

Public rights-of-way such as streets and sidewalks must remain clear of limbs and branches. The minimum height clearance over sidewalks is 8 feet. The minimum height clearance over streets is 12 feet and for improved thoroughfares and designated truck routes the height clearance is 13 feet.

The homeowner is responsible for the proper maintenance of these new trees, including watering the trees on and near their property. Please review the NFHA Street Tree Policy for more information.
