Please Report Irrigation Leaks to AMS

If you notice any issues with the irrigation within the Arbor Ridge Cottage Collection (or Common areas of Laidlaw or West Union), you should report them to Management via email or by phone (Management Company Contacts). You will want to provide a brief explanation of what seems to be wrong (is it continuously running, not running at all or not facing optimally or watering the street or sidewalk?) and where it is located. If possible, include pictures if emailing.

Thank you,
Your Arbor Ridge Management Team
Association Management Services NW
On behalf of the Association’s Board of Directors

Washington County Sidewalk Repair Grants

Did you know that Washington County has a grant program that you can apply for to receive back a portion of your sidewalk repair bill? Each year the grant is funded with $100,000 to help homeowners reduce the cost of expensive sidewalk repairs. We have reposted their article about the program with links to the resources so that you can apply.

Construction season is getting started and can be a great time to repair damaged or displaced sidewalks. Property owners in the Urban Road Maintenance District can apply for reimbursement this summer on approved repairs.

Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks adjacent to their property. The Sidewalk Repair Grant Program was created last year to help lessen the financial barriers to repair.

The Sidewalk Repair Grant Program will reimburse property owners within the URMD up to $2,000 for the repair or replacement of damaged sidewalks by a licensed contractor. Eligibility details and application instructions are available online.

The URMD funds the program, which can award up to $100,000 per fiscal year. The URMD is a service district that supports road maintenance and biking and pedestrian projects.




Updated CCR Documents

We have been able to obtain some missing documents that make up our CCRs. These were mainly addendums to the original filed document by the builder to Washington County. These documents have been cleaned up and posted as PDFs and all the documents have been converted to searchable pages within the website since the originals are scans of scans, they are not searchable. Please use the menu (or click the link) Documents –> CCRs – Primary to view them. Each addendum is posted on its own page, but you can navigate between the documents using the on-page menu. You will also find the section for the downloadable PDF files.




Problem noticed in the Parks?

Have you noticed an issue in our Parks nearby (George Otten Park or John Marty Park)? Our local Parks are managed by Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District or THPRD and you can report issues in the parks if you come upon them. Keep in mind that if it an immediate danger scenario you should call local law enforcement. The Park Watch Report at THPRD is the place to submit or call THPRD if you see a non-urgent issue that needs to be addressed by the




Pet Reminders

Please abide by the following guidelines regarding pets;

When outside always keep your pet on a leash (it is Washington County law). Do not let pets run loose within the Community, or within neighboring Communities. This includes cats.

Always pick up your pets’ waste and dispose of it properly.

Be aware that you can be fined for not picking up after your pet.

The cost to clean up pet waste and repair the damage to the landscaping is substantial; this cost is passed onto each Homeowner, even if they do not own a pet.

To report barking dogs, dogs that are off leash or running loose, you can call Washington County Animal Control at 503-846-7041.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Tree Pruning & Removals March 11-13th

Please Review Notice in its Entirety – Tree Locations Provided Below

Please be sure to remove any items or vehicles that may be blocking the vendor’s access or be at risk for damage (lighting, decorations, etc.). During this time, there will be workers throughout the Community and around your property to access the trees. For privacy, it is recommended that you keep your blinds and curtains closed.

The vendors will be putting up “No Parking” signs on the trees to be removed. If there is a tree with this sign on it, do not park within 20 feet of both sides of the tree. This is so that the vendors will be able to safely remove the tree without risking damage to residents’ vehicles.

Please do not disrupt the vendor’s work. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Management. Neither the HOA, TMG, nor the Vendor will be responsible for personal items damaged during maintenance.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while the Association undergoes this important work.
