T he Association will sponsor a “Bunny Egg Hunt”this Saturday at Summit Park. Parents should come at 9:00 a.m. by themselves with ten (10) eggs per participating child. The parents will hide the eggs and then bring the kids to find the eggs at 10:00 a.m. We will provide a few “golden eggs” that will have special prizes associated with them. It should be a fun event. Attached is a proposed plan for tree planting in the open area near the corner of Shady Canyon and Summit Park Drive. This plan was presented to the board at the January 2012 board meeting. The board and Landscape Committee welcomes comments from residents. You may post a comment here. The traffic study done by RK Engineering has done and is posted here. At the January meeting the Board discussed imposing a 35 MPH speed limit on Summit Park Drive. Although all Board members are in favor of taking additional measures to reduce speeds on Summit Park Drive,there was not a consensus on posting speed limits on Summit Park Drive. The Board decided to study the matter further and consider it again at a later meeting. Do you have an opinion that you would like to share with the Board regarding posted speed limits on Summit Park Drive? Share it with the Board via email at feedback@turtleridgehoa.com,or visit the Board feedback page on our website: http://turtleridgehoa.com/contact/feedback As you may recall,last year the Board began consideration of a management policy for our community’s most valuable and expensive resources:our common area trees. These are the trees located on our hillsides and along our streets and center medians. As our young community continues to mature,so do our trees,and in recent years we have experienced an increasing number of complaints from residents that association trees are blocking the views from their homes. In some cases residents have even taken matters into their own hands,and moved to trim or top association trees,which is illegal and can subject offenders to fines and even criminal prosecution. In response to residents’ concerns,there is strong support on the Board for a tree management policy that will take into account the needs of all stakeholders,including residents who want to enjoy the beautiful views available in our community,as well as their downhill neighbors who want to enjoy the screening and privacy afforded by a lush canopy of trees. If you have views you would like to share,let the Board know how you feel about these matters. Your feedback is very much appreciated. One of the Board’s goals for 2012 is to make significant improvements to the many deteriorated slopes in our community. Our Landscape Committee has already begun work on some of these projects. The Board aims to ramp up work on getting problem areas under control. Residents who may be interested in joining the Landscape Committee are invited to apply on our website:http://turtleridgehoa.net/contact/volunteer | | |
