New Development Standard Enforcement. In December 2016, the Board approved a new Development Standard regarding the height of shrubs located near a driveway within close proximity to the sidewalk which could possibly block line of sight if someone is exiting a driveway.
No shrub or planting which significantly obstructs sight lines of persons exiting a driveway in an automobile, golf car or the like, shall be allowed. Such shrubs must be pruned to a height of 42" or less to allow a safe exit. Development Standard Section 2.17.c.vii.
In order to give residents ample time to inspect their front landscaping for this situation and trim the shrubs, no violation will be sent for three months on this matter. Beginning May 1, the 42" height rule will be enforced.
Please check your shrubs so that the line of sight is not obscured by the height of your bushes and take action to prune them.
Budget Forum - The Board will be conducting two forums to discuss the 2017-18 budget and homeowner dues. Please join us on Thursday, March 23, 6 PM, Auditorium or Friday, March 24, 9 AM, Auditorium.

Please remember a few things when using the locker rooms after swimming. There are shower areas and dry areas. Please dry off before entering the locker rooms. Do not go into the dry rooms dripping water into those areas. It helps to remove wet swimsuits in the shower areas. In each locker room there are mops and squeegees for drying the floor areas. It is for the safety of everyone that we remove excess water, to assist in preventing anyone from falling.
Are you wondering why you brought certain items when you moved here? Well, turn those items into cash at our annual Courtyard sale.

Interesting tidbit: Are you aware that the wait staff at The Views Restaurant (TVR) are required by law to make at least minimum wage? Any difference between what their normal wages are and what they make in tips has to be supplemented by TVR if those two items together do not equal minimum wages, so we appreciate those of you who tip well the wait staff who do a good job serving you.
Getting to know the GM: The Professional Community Manager (PCAM) designation is considered the pinnacle designation in the field of Community Association Management. To attain this lofty status, among other criteria, the final requirement is for the manager to attend a "case study." At the case study the manager visits a HOA and for three days asks questions, taking tours and grilling the General Manager about the workings of the community. At the end of the three days, the manager has 30 days to write a thesis-type of report answering several questions that are posed by the Community Associations Institute. This report often exceeds 100 pages. As a PCAM, I was able to host the "case study" when it was done in Mesa a few years ago.
