What do you want for SCOV in the near and longer-term future? We would like your opinion and comments by completing the survey online.
Please complete the survey by Monday, May 1. Relatively soon the Future Housing Committee will make recommendations to the SCOV Board by looking forward 10-plus years to identify what might be important and relevant to current and future residents. The Future Housing Committee is chartered to "... recommend a set of standards to guide and to regulate, including, but not limited to, building additions and modifications, lot combinations, architectural changes, building demolitions and multi-generational housing accommodations." A paper version of this survey will be available at the Activity Center, Desert Oasis, Catalina Vista, The Views Restaurant and Fitness Center. If the paper version is completed, please return it to Lisa Orach in the SCOV Welcome Center.

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.
The new Board Officers for the 2017-2018 fiscal year are:
Debra Arrett - Board President
Meade Davis - Board Vice President
Lou Gard - Secretary
Lauren Strassburg - Treasurer
What is an SCOV emergency? As you know there is an "emergency phone number" listed in the Tipster. This number is only to be called if something is wrong on Association property. Perhaps a fire alarm goes off at one of the Association buildings. Do not call this number if there is a problem at a homeowner's property. The OV police ask that you call them if you see something strange or there is a problem. Should a neighbor have an irrigation leak, this is a private issue and the "emergency phone number" should NOT be called. Remember, this phone number is not to obtain information, it is to be called when there is an issue.
Did you know? The cutoff deadline for submitting articles for "This Week In SCOV" is noon on the Wednesday preceding the Thursday TWISCOV.
Interesting tidbit: The budget went through at least three drafts by Randy (Director of Finance) and myself before it was handed over to the Budget and Finance Committee (BFC) for review. The BFC held open meetings and discussed the budget which included additional revisions before turning it over to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors held two open community forums to get additional input before considering the budget in today's Study Session. My thanks to all involved in this process. Your hard work is much appreciated.
Getting to know the GM: My father died when I was young, and although I had many wonderful role models such as Merlin Olson (actor and professional football player), my grandfather was the best. His years and wisdom taught me many things that I cherish to this day. My hat is off to all of you who share your years and wisdom with your family and those around you and especially for the great example you are to all of us.
