Eric – Landscaping, Idaho Landscaping has started spring cleaning the sub. They will be adding a few more trees and bark. Cory Stambaugh noted that they have been over watering the grass and landscaping and suggested going to watering half of the sub one day and the other half the following day. Cory will address his ideas with Idaho Landscaping. He also suggested bringing in an arborist. Also suggested changing watering times. Discussed having a formal meeting with Idaho Landscaping Company. Also discussed the new homes in the North end of the sub that don’t have trees planted in front of them yet. Boise Hunter Homes has asked to give them until 4/15 to finish any landscaping due to the wet weather lately. We have 33 home sites that have not passed compliance or are in the process of being built. We are holding a $1000 deposit until the reach compliance. Bill McMillan suggested not giving the 1k back and use it to meet the code/compliance. Also, not letting new homes be built until previous homes have met compliance. Brad will check with attorney to see if that is an option. Tossed the idea of putting liens on every lot to insure 1k deposit on new home sites.

Robyn – Easter egg hunt is Saturday the 23^rd. Got the okay to buy Easter eggs and candy for the hunt. Doug suggested we have the cook off and pool opening the same day. Joe is going to try and have the pool opening May 21^st. Robyn will send out another newsletter this week.

Doug – A request for pool hours to be extended or earlier for adult swim time. Joe will check with the pool maintenance crew to see if that will be a problem. Joe is also going to look into purchasing more pool furniture and chairs. Powder coated umbrella’s was suggested which would be a permanent structure. No climbing signs will also be made for a couple of the structures around the pool and pond area.

Scott – ACC is staying ontop of any requests. Fence staining violations will be going out soon. We may need to change the language on the ACC’s regarding the coloring of the stain. Also suggested putting in the newsletter that the smoke stacks need to be painted black and that violations will be going out about those as well.

Neighborhood Watch Alert!

This happened in Lochsa Falls

Friends and Neighbors:: This morning at about 7:15 a man in a silver truck tried to abduct my neighbor's 12 year old son on his way to the bus stop!!! He tried to get him in his truck a couple of times, Andrew told him no and then ran to his bus stop where the other kids were. They filed a police report, but Andrew didn't get many details since it was dark and he was caught off guard. This was near the main park around the horse loop. The man pulled up alongside Andrew, and asked him if he wanted to check out his new truck, Andrew responded no and kept walking. The man then said, come on in and I'll give you a ride to where your going. Andrew again said no, then the man got mad and started yelling for him to get in. Andrew ran the rest of the way to the bus stop and told his teachers when he got to school. Please pass this along to all your Lochsa Falls neighbors and remind your children never to talk to strangers.

Saguaro Canyon HOA Board Meeting Minutes

Roll call – Attending Joe, Brad, Eric, Scott, Doug, Robyn, Mary and Lauren Moison

Mary went over ACC landscaping guidelines for our subdivision. There is a 13 page document that has which plants and sized are acceptable to plant. Mary takes care of all new builds and Scott takes care of existing homes.  If Scott can’t answer a question or a homeowner wants to deviate he will refer the question onto Mary. We may want to put together a ‘do not plant’ list to add to the guidelines. We may also want to ask the City of Meridian for ‘approved trees’ list.

Mary is auditing standards and addressing violations. Scott is going to start enforcing violations in stained fences, porch lights, and making sure chimney stacks are black. Also talked about possibly placing liens on BHH lots to insure ACC standards and compliance.

Scott asked if minutes for future meetings be sent via email instead of hardcopy.

No future amenities will be built this year due to the discount of the HOA dues this year. We may consider next year.

3 Way Stop

One of our Homeowners called Ada County Highway District to find out why they put the 3 way stop at the intersection of Saguaro Hills & Segundo. They have been placed due to the construction work in widening the intersection of Locust Grove & McMillan. Once that project is finish, which is suppose to be this fall, the stop signs will be removed.
