SIERRA NORTE ALARM MONITORING
Homeowners' Alarm Monitoring is included in your monthly dues, but since the transfer of alarm monitoring services from Westminster to ADT recently, some homeowners have had questions about how they are affected. In short, if you were hooked-up through Westminster then you are still hooked-up and monitored through ADT. However ADT have appointed a Special Respresentative for "the Sierra Norte Accounts", and he is available to answer any questions Homeowners may have about their alarm services, equipment, monitoring and maintenance. His name is DAN HIGGINS and his phone number is posted on the "SITES OF INTEREST" page on this website - look for the "Pocket Guide of Essential Telephone Numbers". So feel free to call Dan with any questions or concerns you may have.
DRAFT Minutes of Board Meetings now posted
To help Residents and Homeowners keep fully informed about issues affecting our community, we are now posting DRAFT versions of the Minutes of Board Meetings, in advance of their adoption by the Board at the next meeting. Should you note any inaccuracies, or have any concerns, please bring them to the attention of any Board member, using the contact forms on this website, or ineed in person to the Board by attending the next scheduled Board Meeting.
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. The Guidelines had been, and are, established with a view to maintaining the aesthetic appeal of Sierra Norte, which in the first instance, was one of the things that attracted us all to build our homes in this unique and beautiful setting.

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 |
