The core of a good neighborhood is the type of relationships established among its neighbors. The first step in building a relationship is respecting those next door, down the street and around the corner.While people have their own ideas of a good neighbor and a good neighborhood, there are some basic standards established either through the City's code and zoning laws or through common courtesies that make life better in your community.

Do's
--Cut your grass once a week
--Clean your gutters regularly
--Change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors twice a year
--Empty excess water collecting in pots, buckets and containers that can attract and breed mosquitoes
--Plant perennials for the upcoming year
--Schedule bulky items for pickup
--Properly display house numbers
--Clean up after your pets

Don'ts
--Park your car on the front lawn.
--Store excess trash and debris around your home.
--Play loud music after 10 p.m.
--Park inoperable vehicles on your property.
--Forget to retrieve trash rollout containers by midnight on your collection date.
--Allow your dog to bark excessively during the night.
--Pour contaminants down the storm water drains.

I personally thought this would be beneficial for others to see directly from the Char/Meck community relations website.
