Resident Directory Update Request

 Recently the Village office circulated a Resident Directory Update Request form by mail to all Village residents containing household information currently included in our Resident Directory database.  This update request is due back to the Village office by June 10, and as of this afternoon, less than a quarter of Village households have returned their form. 

Please take a moment to review confirm your listing and return the update form, even if there is no change, either by mail, email (ccv@montgomerycountymd.gov), fax (301-907-9721), in person at the Village Hall (open 24 hours a day) or via the Village website as soon as possible, but preferably by the end of the week so final updates can be incorporated before the Resident Directory goes to print. 

We do our best to keep household contact information current, but we need your help to do this.  Thank you for taking time to update your Resident Directory listing. The 2018 Resident Directory will be available for pick-up at the July 4^th Parade & Party and from the Village Hall thereafter (limit one per household).

Brookville Road Park Closed for Improvements

The Brookville Road Park remains closed for redevelopment and construction of a new dog exercise area.

The contractor will try to ensure that pedestrian access along the Brookville Road public sidewalk is maintained, however, there may be occasions when the sidewalk needs to be closed due to deliveries or specific work. Construction plans for the proposed park can be viewed on the Brookville Road Park page.

For more information or questions please contact the Village’s Municipal Operations Coordinator Ellen Sands by phone at 301-654-7300 or via e-mail at ellen.sands@montgomerycountymd.gov.

We thank you for your patience as we undertake this project.

Residents Reminded to Comply with Local “Signs” Ordinance

Chevy Chase Village has its own “Signs” Code (Chapter 12) which outlines a series of regulations and parameters for signs erected in the Village, both on private property and in the public right-of-way.
 
The regulation of signs is intended to enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety and to preserve the attractiveness of the streetscape.  Key provisions include:

• Signs allowed on private property, with certain limitations, including political and religious signs, flags, and scholastic or collegiate banners; no permit is required.

• Signs allowed on private property and/or in certain locations within the public right-of-way: real estate signs--both the wooden yard signs and for open house events; location signs for estate and yard sales; and directional signs intended to guide or direct vehicular or pedestrian traffic; Village sign permit required for each sign erected.

• Commercial signs are not allowed within the Village. (Exception: security/alarm system signs, which are allowed within certain size and location parameters.) Commercial signs include: fence company name plates, attached to new fences containing the fence company’s name, such as “LONG FENCE”; and construction or contracting company signs. Commercial signs placed in the public right-of-way will be promptly removed by Village staff. If a commercial sign is observed on private property, notice will be provided by Village staff to the property owner requesting prompt removal.

• An “electronic pet containment system” (i.e., electric pet fence) sign, issued by the Village, must be posted at each property where said system is in operation.

• No signs of any kind are permitted within the “tree box”, the area located between the sidewalk and curb/roadway.

Residents may view the full “Signs” Ordinance on the Village website (www.chevychasevillagemd.gov). For questions concerning signs, associated permits or to request an “electronic pet containment system” sign, please contact the Village office at ccv@montgomerycountymd.gov or 301-654-7300.

Replacement of the brick sidewalk through the Buffer has begun. The work is anticipated to take about one more week.  Please follow detour signage.
