Palms Course Renovation Project

 

It has been some time since we have discussed the Renovation project on the Palms course and since the December/Year End Financial Report is not expected prior 

to the board meeting, I thought this would be a good time to report our progress and share some of the excitement and some of the challenges of this major project with you.

IronOaks First Annual Homeowner Survey Update  

FIRST ANNUAL HOMEOWNER SURVEY

 

We shall have no better conditions in the future if we are satisfied with all those which we have at present.

                                                                                                                                  Thomas Edison

 

As of Monday, Jan. 20, over 900 surveys had been completed online. This is a good start. We thank you for taking the time to give your input.  However, we want input from as many homeowners as possible. 

This information from homeowners will be used by the Master Planning Committee to evaluate how we perceive the committees, board, and management are conducting business and whether they are in accord with the Master Plan.

The HOA committees, comprised of volunteer homeowners, will utilize the survey results to evaluate and refine committee goals.The Master Planning Committee will share the results online with homeowners and with the board.

            You may preview the survey online at the website before you actually complete the survey which you received by email. Click here 

            If you have neighbors and friends who do not have computer access, please encourage them to complete paper copies of the survey which are at the clubhouses at Ironwood and Oakwood.

            The core purpose of IronOaks as approved by homeowners is: Create, protect and promote an active adult lifestyle community with resort style amenities and to enhance the community's value. Input from us, the stakeholders, is vital to this core purpose.

The online survey will conclude the end of January.  Paper copies will be collected on Feb. 3.

Street Work to be Done - Crack Sealing Time Again    

 

Crack Sealing started on Monday 1/20/2014 on area #1, then proceed to #2, 3, & 4. We will notify residents 24-48 hours in advance of crack sealing streets.
  • This process is saves the HOA a lot in resurfacing costs
  • The product (seals) the cracks not fills the cracks.
  • Many expect the sealed cracks to always be level with the road surface...that is not always the case.
  • We are sealing cracks 1/8" or larger.

Conservation Seminars a Real Success!

The Conservation Committee wants to thank everyone who attended and responded so positively.

 

Homeowners' response to this series exceeded the space originally reserved and larger spaces in the Oakwood Clubhouse have now been secured for successive sessions. Those who want to attend any of the sessions, must register at murbanaz@gmail.com so adequate seating and handouts are available. Please plan to arrive a little early so everyone can get their handouts and the speaker can start on time.

 

Since most of us have moved to IronOaks from somewhere very unlike Arizona, the Conservation Committee planned these seminars to help homeowners live more compatibly with our desert environment. Initially aimed at new homeowners, the committee hoped other residents would be interested, and is overwhelmed at the response. They are planning additional sessions on landscape care and irrigation, energy and water saving in the home, and recycling options. If you have suggestions for future subjects or speakers, please use the Comment Card section of the IronOaks website at www.ironoakshoa.org.

 

The remaining sessions include:

 

  • January 28 - Cathy Rymer - Landscape Watering by the Numbers 6:00 pm
  • February 4 - John Smith - The Green Plumber 6:00 pm
  • February 11 - Going Green Solar - Everything You Wanted to Know about Solar 6:00 pm

IronOaks New Paint Colors Palette   

 

The Architectural Landscape Committee (ALC) recently approved the selection of house and trim colors. The recommended combinations are based on coordinating the stucco and trim colors with the various roof tile colors of our homes. There is a color selection for the stucco and a choice of one of the two corresponding trim colors. The selection of the paint colors that coordinate with the tile color were suggested by the color experts at Dunn-Edwards. However:

  • You may select any stucco color from the palette.
  • You may select any single trim color from the palette
  • You may use the stucco color selected as the trim color.
  • Garage doors may be painted the stucco color selected.
  • Garage doors may be painted the trim color, provided the trim color is lighter than the stucco color. If the trim color is darker than the stucco color, the garage door must be painted the stucco color.

Examples of the colors are available for viewing at the ALC Office in the Arts & Crafts Building and the ALC staff will be available to answer questions Monday through Thursday 8:00 am to 12:00 Noon.
