Parking:
– Please respect the green and yellow parking permit areas. If you have a yellow permit don’t park in the green permit area and vice versa.
– Don’t back into your parking spot – it is NOW part of the Rules and Regulations.
– Commercial, nonregistered and guest cars, need to park on the street or in the baseball parking lot between 4pm and 8am.
– Non-registered cars parked in the same spot for more than 72 hours will be towed without warning. The 72 hour limitation does not apply to cars with yellow and green parking permit displayed on their cars. Exception is when we have to clear the parking lots for repair and maintenance.

Useful information/It’s the rule:
– Starting an indoor or outdoor remodeling project? You must fill out the Architectural Authorization Request form available on the website. Send to Gassen and avoid problems!
– Please make sure that your vendor hauls away trash from projects, it does not belong in the Greensboro garbage bins. This includes all remodeling materials!
– There is a separate fee for hauling away household appliances and furniture. They do NOT belong in the trash or in the garbage, this includes mattresses! Contact Gassen on site staff to arrange special pick up.
– Keep lawn clear of furniture and grills for lawn mowing crews. They will not move furniture and will not mow underneath and around your furniture and grill. They need to be stored on your patio or stoop.
– No tethering of animals. If a mower, building elements or people get damaged/hurt by a tethering line, the homeowner will be charged back for the damage caused.
– Gardening projects: Contact Gassen office before you start any garden project. The green area outside your units are all Common area. As we regrade throughout Greensboro the Association reviews existing gardens and patios. 3 bedroom townhouse owners can opt to have a patio built by Greensboro’s approved vendor and at homeowner’s cost. It will not become a Limited Common element, but the agreement will give single unit usage rights.

Please help by:
– Calling the police immediately if you see or hear suspicious activity at Greensboro. Cars’ catalytic converters have been cut from cars in the greater St. Louis Park area including Greensboro. It is a rather noisy but fast job. We suggest you park your car in the garage if you have one.
– Recycling as much as possible. We still find a lot of cardboard boxes and bottles in the trash bins. We appreciate when you break down the card boards so all of us have space to dispose of our trash. Please note that items should be dumped in the recycle bins unbagged: plastic bags gum up the recycle machines and should be trashed.
– Cleaning the common BBQ grills by the Club House after use. Make sure to use them away from the Club House and overhanging tree branches and following fire code. Please dispose of the ashes in the dedicated and labeled bin. Don’t throw them into the trash.
– Picking up trash, sticks, your cigarette butts and wrappers, your dog’s poop, etc. and put them into the trash bins located throughout Greensboro.
– Finding another trash bin at Greensboro if your regular one is full.
– Reporting any problems (grounds, lightbulbs including your porch lights, security, etc.), by creating a work order on your Gassen Connect account or contacting Client Support at 952-922-5575 and they will forward it on to the right person.
