Dear Fellow Homeowner in Circle V Ranch Estates:

Each year, the Circle V Ranch Homeowners Association collects $50.00 in yearly dues to cover routine maintenance and repairs of the entrances, frontage area and retention ponds for the Circle V Ranch neighborhood. Our covenants provide for the direction for the use of these funds, and most of the yearly budget of $5,350.00 is consumed by lawn maintenance, electric and water bills, and some maintenance. Our budget is reviewed each year at the annual HOA and is also posted on the blogspot webpage.

As most of you know, our neighborhood was hit pretty hard this past month with high winds and many of us sustained damage. Unlike being a homeowner, the HOA does not have any insurance to cover damages, the cost of coverage simply is not affordable with the current income. Normally, we have budgeted money in reserves to cover routine maintenance and damages, much as we did last year to replace the signage at the North entrance. This storm, however has created a much larger expense, which is well beyond routine maintenance.

The brick wall at the South entrance sustained major damage and to keep the appearance of the neighborhood nice, we would like to have this repaired/replaced. We have made arrangements to have the debris removed, and we have an estimate to have the walls re-bricked and the signage replaced for $5,100.00. Since this amount simply cannot be covered with our normal income, we are asking each homeowner to contribute $50 towards this expense. In addition to the brick wall, we will have to cover some repairs to the vinyl fence along Sara, repair the sprinkler systems, replace the flagpole, and re-establish the electrical at the south entrance, hopefully we can fund this from our maintenance reserves.

Most of us take pride in our neighborhood and homes and the entrance provides the first impression to our guests and potential buyers, and thus helps in improving our property values. We would ask that you please consider sending your check for $50 as soon as possible to the HOA marked “storm damage” so that we can move forward on this project.

Regards,

Circle V Ranch HOA Board

Dear Homeowner:

2011 Annual HOA Meeting to be held Friday, July 1, 2011 7:00PM at 3606 Ruby Ridge NE.

Yearly dues are required from all homeowners. Our budget maintains the common areas and is reflective on 100% participation from ALL homeowners. This maintenance has a positive influence on your property values and a $50 per year investment is a fair amount and this maintenance is beneficial to everyone at Circle V Ranch. We have one of the lowest assessments of any comparable HOA’s in the area.

Regards

Brian LaBouff, President
Ross Linnemann, Secretary/Treasurer

New Signs Installed at North Entrances

2011-01-27T15:01:00.002-06:00

The old signage that was damaged during last year's hail storm has been removed and new signs that are similar to the cast concrete signs at the South Entrance have been installed. The signs were made by a homeowner and installed with the help of others. The total cost was just over $400 and was able to be covered out of reserve funds as opposed to a special assessment.

2010-05-31T06:54:00.002-05:00

As a matter of procedure, if any homeowner is planning any major structural changes, roofing material changes, remodeling, outbuilding or fencing changes, it would be advised to consult with the Circle V Ranch Building Committee which currently is Phil Boevers as well as City of Piedmont permitting department. Since Phil is still developing in the area, he has retained this role.

Some Helpful Hints for Your Aerobic Septic System

2009-06-29T09:13:00.003-05:00

Do…

• Conserve water — your system treats 20-25 gallons of water per hour. Try and do laundry over

a weeks time and not all in one day; do not use powdered laundry detergents or additives of any kind. Recommended detergents are low-sudsing, low phosphates and biodegradable.

• Minimize the amount of solid wastes — your system is designed to treat human waste and toilet paper. The more solids go in (i.e. garbage disposal) the more often they have to come out by having your system pumped.

Don’ts / Items to Avoid

• Backwash discharge from any type of water softener

• Inert Materials — plastics, dental floss, cigarette filters, bandages, hair, lint

• Paper Products — disposable diapers, tampons, sanitary napkins, cotton swabs, cotton balls, facial tissue, baby wipes, quilted toilet tissue, NO “FLUSHABLE” CLEANING WIPES OF ANY KIND SHOULD BE FLUSHED OR PUT IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

• Food Wastes — animal fats and bones, grease, coffee grounds, citrus fruit rinds, corn cobs, or eggshells should not be put in the garbage disposal

• Cleaning Products/Commercial Additives — some disinfecting cleansers may kill the organisms needed to keep the good bacteria level proper in your tanks. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and others have found no evidence that additives support a normally functioning onsite treatment system

• Chemicals/Toxins — the following materials will kill the organisms necessary for treatment to occur

correctly in your tanks — paint, paint thinner, solvents, drain cleaners, automotive fluids, fuels, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, disinfectants, sanitizers, bleach, higher use of household chemicals other than small amounts used in day to day house cleaning and laundries

• TOILET PAPER Look for the NSF approved symbol on all toilet tissue

Maintenance Tips:

• Aerobic units are designed to treat only household wastewater. If toxic or hazardous

materials enter the system, treatment may be affected. (Normal household chemicals will not harm the system).

• Routinely inspect the equalization tank for sludge build up. Equalization tanks may need to be cleaned out every one to two years.

• Check the disinfecting system on a regular basis. Proper disinfection will greatly reduce the risk of pathogens in the effluent.

• Maintain the vegetative cover in the surface application area.

• Observe good water conservation practices.

• If an alarm is activated, call your maintenance provider or a professional.

From the Septic Guys.com (info@thesepticguys.com)

Air Pump Maintenance

The grey box near your house has the control box and the aereator pump. This pump requires yearly inspection of the filter and typically the diaphragms need to be replaced every 2-4 years maximum. This can be done by a septic contractor, or diaphragm kits can be ordered if you are a do it your-selfer
