CAHHH Annual Meeting

We will hold our Civic Association annual meeting on Nov. 17, 2025, 7:00 PM, in the Lodge auditorium. Our keynote speaker will be Chris West and her topic will be “Providence - The 1649 Puritan Settlement that Became Annapolis.” Chris lives on a historic property and has done much research and collected many artifacts from the property. Please save the date and watch for details in the November “Harbour Lights” and via email.

At that meeting, we will also hold an election for four members of the Civic Association Board of Directors whose terms of office expire at the end of calendar year 2025 (Darlene Haught, District 2 representative; Nancy Badertscher, D4 rep; Patricia O’Berry, D6 rep; Ben Miles D7/7A rep). Darlene, Pat, and Ben have agreed to remain in their positions, and Nancy is moving out of the area. We appreciate Nancy’s years of service and we will miss her!

Parking in Heritage Harbour Streets

Parking in Heritage Harbour Streets is an issue that the Heritage Harbour Community Association (HHCA) and the Civic Association of Heritage Harbour Homeowners (CAHHH) received several very helpful responses from our residents. One of the most serious concerns was about parking that blocks access on our streets, especially for emergency response vehicles. 

We contacted officers of the West Annapolis and Riva Voluntary Fire Departments about this problem. They shared that they need at least 10 feet between parked vehicles on opposite sides of a street and at least 15 feet from any fire hydrant. The Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works representative agreed that sharing this critical information at Heritage Harbour would be “a huge victory for you and your community.” 

This article emphasizes the importance that Heritage Harbour residents and visitors are aware of the importance of providing room for emergency vehicles to easily get to all residences in Heritage Harbour.

Please read this:

Emergency vehicles need a clearance of at least 10 feet on all streets and 15 feet access to fire hydrants:

We should never park vehicles on both sides of the street leaving less than 10 feet of clearance between them. (Distance of Two 5-foot people with arms outstretched) We should never park within 15 feet of any fire hydrant. (It is Illegal) Our Heritage Harbour community will continue to discuss ways to work together on keeping our streets safe.
