A recent upgrade has left some undesirable results. The Agenda’s and Minute’s are missing. This is being looked in to currently. Please do not email the Arbor Ridge Mailbox. When this is resolved a new post will be made.

UPDATE: 7/7/2009 – All Meeting Minutes have been restored

Many home owners may have noticed that there is some fire damage that occurred on May 10th to a section of Arborvitae and fencing along the west end of West Union west of Laidlaw.  The cause of the fire was undetermined by the Fire Department.

The board is currently waiting for the insurance adjustor to complete their report and provide it to the board for review so we can begin repairs.  If you have any questions feel free to email us using the email address on the Contacts Page or to contact our Management company also on the Contacts Page.

We hope to have the repairs completed soon.  Please stay tuned to the web site for more details

Arbor Ridge HOA board members in attendance: Dave Cummings, Tom Weyenburg, Cathy Parson, Sunil Luhadia, John Michaud, Nick Horn – The Management Group

No Homeowner input prior to the meeting –

Meeting was called to order at 7:05pm

–          Call to approve the meeting minutes for 9/22/08 – approved by the board

–          Call to approve the meeting minutes for 1/26/09 – approved by the board

President’s Report – Mike is on vacation this week so no presidential report.

Treasure’s Report –  1st quarter – no changes

Committee Report – From Mary

–          Lawns are looking bad, there is a lot of Moss and other issues with most of the lawns in the neighborhood.

–          Cottage collection front yards have settled and the lawns are more difficult for John (Showplace) to maintain because of this issue.  Also there may be a safety issue with the yards getting below the level of concrete.

–          Many shrubs have not weathered the winter well and have been damaged. John (Showplace) has suggested that he could cut the damaged shrubs to 8-10” and see if they will re-grow on there own.

–          Mary was wondering if they is or could be a mandatory minimum of shrubs and trees for the cottage collection.

–          Mary noted that at 16895 NW Oakcreek Dr. that half the front lawn is missing.

–          And the landscaping at the monument is not very good. (This issue was addressed and it is being taken care of this week. John was told to wait till the monument work was completed.)

–          Mary wanted to point out that the paint on the homes is looking bad and this should be included in the violations for homeowners. And Tom had commented that this will be looked at in future appearance violations.

–          Discussion on the street work on Diamondback by the county was lengthy and to summarize here that an estimate from John (Showplace) will be pursued for the cottage homes on Diamondback since the general consensus is that the board would rather have John do the tree trimming in preparation for the road work instead of the county.  Those homeowners not in the cottage collection are responsible for there tree trimming or the county will do the trimming for you.

–          Mary also mentioned that the Cottage homes as rentals will be an issue as more become rentals. Nick stated that due to the economy that we may see more homes for rent. Mary wanted to know what the board is prepared to do about this situation – the general thought is that there isn’t much that we can do about this situation.

–          More discussion on if there is money budgeted for tree trimming etc. and that there was some monies set aside. John from Showplace will be asked to give an estimate of costs for landscaping and tree trimming for this season.

Nick Horn –

– Rescheduling of May 25th meeting has been rescheduled to May 18th

Compliance report –

–          Violations have grown and only a few have responded to the violations.

–          Tom brought up some new discussion on Hose and Reel issues that he has been noting as he is noting violations.

o       Hoses out in the front yard and driveways for months

o       Unsightly hose and reel installations on side of homes

–          Asking other board members there opinion about having these types of issues added to violations.

–          Portable basketball hoops have been noted on the street and sidewalks and this seems to be a violation and a safety issue. After discussion it was approved that a homeowner could be notified about the basketball hoop placement.

–          Rent signs – The CC&Rs allow only 1 For Sale sign on a property and 1 Political sign on a property. For Rent signs are not allowed.  Nick asked if Tom would do inspections on Mondays for this so a letter of violation could be sent and received by the homeowner around Thursday or Friday to take the sign down. And this violation will be included in the compliancy report.

Nick Horn –

–          Further discussion on modified payment plan for Cottage homes that are having a hardship applying the landscaping costs. Those homeowners must call the Management group and set up a payment plane with them.

–          Homeowners with high outstanding dues that were sent to the attorneys to be processed, expect an update on progress reports around April 20th.

–          Monument work is officially completed and the landscaping can now be reworked.

New Business –

–          Cathy presented a rough draft of the latest Arbor Ridge newsletter. The board took a moment to look over the information.  In light of suggestions to Cathy, Tom suggested that the homeowners that get violations can be directed to the Arbor Ridge website to a electronic form of the CC&Rs that Tom suggested be posted on the website. So that the homeowners can seek clarification on why they were in violation of the CC&Rs.

Dave called for adjournment and this was seconded – Adjournment was at 8:35pm

– John Michaud Secretary Arbor Ridge HOA

The May Home Owners Meeting has been changed from May 25th to May 18th. May 25th is Memorial Day and the meeting was moved up to avoid the conflict.

Arbor Ridge HOA Meeting minutes January 26th 2009

Homeowner input –
Signs for this evenings meeting were not in the same locations as previously – Need a sign at Oak Creek and West Union was identified as a prominent location.
Garbage bins are being left out too long.
Suggestion that someone check over the neighborhood at 10pm to see if properties are in violation of the CC&Rs

– Presidential Notes – No new notes for this meeting.
– Treasure Notes – No new notes for this meeting.
– Committee Reports
– Landscape committee – Homeowner mentioned that utility work was performed on West Union and Oak creek and the workers left the grass at that location damaged.
This was around the October/November time frame. Concern is in the sprinklers in that location and the condition of the grass.

– Social committee –  Cathy will be taking the lead on the Social committee, Cathy suggested that the Board was involved in the Ice Cream Social, also having the Proxy ballots at the ice cream social and information about the neighborhood watch as well. Also possibly having the Newsletter sent out more often like quarterly.

– Management report – Board looked over the extensive compliance report and delinquent payment lists. In discussion about the homeowners that owe over $1,000 he board decided to make a motion to move these properties over to a legal firm of Barker and Martin to proceed with collections of these debts owed.
Monument rebuild update – The masonry is almost complete and the signage was being duplicated to replace the damaged ones. Progress was delayed dut to the recent weather.

– Graffiti issue – Discussion about how to address future incidents at this location. suggestion to remove existing fencing and replace with chain link (cyclone) fencing. One homeowner was attending the meeting and the board asked if this person would speak to the other affected parties to see if they would be open to the change in this fencing and possibly sharing the cost of this change. Board asked the management company to look into various quotes on removing the existing fencing, replacing the fencing and cost of the chain link fence installation.

– New business – Discussion on dues geared toward the Cottage homes. Possibly a change in the payment schedule for the cottage homes and breakup the landscaping dues to a quarterly payment plan.  The Management group cautioned that the board may not want to single out one group of homeowners. And that flexable payments is an option if you call the management group. Also there could be an amendment to change how all homeowners make due payments.

Noting the time the discussion was halted and a call for adjournment was asked and this meeting was adjourned at 8:28pm

– John Michaud Secretary Arbor Ridge HOA

The repairs have been completed on the monument.  The weather played havoc with the schedule and it was delayed a few times.  We are glad to see this done as it has been a long process to be completed.  The landscaping will be touched up as weather permits.

Minutes taken by Mike Farris

Many of you have emailed and inquired on the main entrance monument that was knocked down. After several months of litigation between the insurance companies of the two vehicles involved in the accident we have finally received compensation from them and contracted a contractor to replace the monument.

Construction has been delayed due to the recent snow and now the rain that is coming. There needs to be several days of dry weather and moderate temperatures to do the brick work needed.
