All of the park benches and tables, including the ones in the gazebo, will be replaced starting October 8, 2025. It is anticipated to take up to 5-6 days to complete. Please keep this in mind when using the park and be mindful to keep away from work areas.

Thank you very much for your understanding as we work to improve the park for all residents!

The Annual Members Meeting and Election could not be held on September 9, 2025 due to lack of quorum. The adjourned Annual Meeting will be held on October 7, 2025 at 6:00 PM via Zoom. The HOA has sufficient ballots in order to be able to conduct the Annual Meeting on this date, as the quorum requirement drops to 20%.

The Association has had difficulty obtaining quorum to conduct the election in recent years. Your participation is needed in order to be able to obtain enough ballots so that the election can be held. If you do not know who to vote for, you can always check the “Quorum Only” option at the top of the ballot, which will count toward quorum.

If you have lost or misplaced your voting materials, please contact Action Property Management at (949) 450-0202 or via email to managerassistanthelp@actionlife.com and another set will be mailed to you.

We greatly appreciate your sending in your ballot and helping make this year’s election a success!

Recent fires have raised awareness about ways to make our homes safer against potential fire damage. Some helpful fire safety tips can be found on the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) website at https://ocfa.org/SafetyPrograms/FireSafety.aspx.

The Association also takes measures to mitigate potential fire risk. Several years ago, the Association undertook a fire hazard abatement project with the OCFA to target areas of acacia on the community slopes for renovation. The old acacia was replaced with a new variety of acacia called “lowboy acacia” that is a smaller variety of acacia that does not grow as tall. The problem with the old acacia is that it can grow large and woody underneath as it ages, and the OCFA regulations restrict the height of vegetation of areas in a defensible space to no more than 2 feet, as this can help prevent the rapid spread of fire. The Association’s landscaper and arborist worked closely with the OCFA to identify which areas were a fire risk and those areas were replaced with new lowboy acacia.

A key factor in which areas were targeted for renovation was whether a fire truck could access the area from the street. It is not feasible to replace all of the old acacia on the slopes, so this was the main criteria in determining which specific areas would be replaced. The Association wanted the residents to be aware of why certain areas have been replaced with lowboy acacia and the criteria for determining whether a particular area is a fire risk.

Also, please note that the Association’s landscape company performs weed/brush abatement on several of the Association-maintained slopes annually in the Spring in accordance with OCFA guidelines.
