Revised Design Guidelines Now Posted on the Documents Page
The Board has entirely reviewed, and amended where appropriate, the Sierra Norte Design Guidelines with a view to making them consistent with the current needs of our community; to clarify and remove any ambiguities, and to make it easier for Homeowners to ensure that their properties are in compliance with the Design Guidelines which had been established with a view to maintaining the aesthetic appeal of Sierra Norte, which in the first instance, was what attracted us all to build our homes in this unique and beautiful setting.

In this issue: All you wanted to know about (and some things perhaps you didn't!) our fellow inhabitants - Snakes and Bees!
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU! to Sandra Klecker and Claire Johnston who have volunteered their services and joined Joel Tornabeni's Architectural Committee. This will enable Homeowners' requests and submissions to be handled promptly and provide "cover" should some committee members be out of town.

Tennis Court Use
The Community Tennis Court is a valuable and appreciated Community asset, but it's use is RESTRICTED to the playing of Tennis only - any other use of the Court is strictly prohibited as damage can result and could give rise to increased maintenance and repair costs which in turn would have to be recovered from Homeowners by further assessment. Such prohibited uses would include, but are not limited to, Soccer, Skate Boarding, Skating, Hockey, Frisbee, Dog Walking, Exercising & Training, Basketball etc. We would cordially ask users of the Tennis Court to lower the net after use, extinguish court lighting after play, and refrain from hitting tennis or other balls against the court perimeter fencing. We thank Homeowners and their Children for their cooperation in maintaining our Tennis Court in pristine condition for its intended use, and hope that as many of you as possible will make use of this terrific facility - a Notice of Permitted Use has been posted, in full view, adjacent to the Tennis Court Gate.
Contractor Referrals
Know of any good contractors you have used recently? Do you care to share their contact details with your neighbors? Landscapers, Window Cleaners, Home Cleaning, Weed Treatment etc.? Why not ask them to become an "SNS" - A Sierra Norte Sponsor - it's only $40 a year, and their contact and service details could be posted on our Sponsors page. That's a good way for them to get more business and for our community members to have access to quality services |
