Board acts to clear debris in canyon open space
A special Board Meeting regarding open space fire abatement proposals was held on Feb 1st at 5: 30pm. The Board voted unanimously to approve Benchmark’s proposal to clear debris in the canyon and Four Season’s proposal to trim trees near the service road, to be completed by March 1st.
Rattlesnakes and Coyotes
Coyotes are still being spotted in and around SP, particularly in the mornings and evenings. Rattlesnake season has begun, and the Benchmark crews encountered three as they finished up their abatement work. Also try to keep your garage doors closed as that can be an attractive hiding spot.
Annual HOA Budget, Reserves and Dues
Homeowners should have received the 2024 Budget, Reserve Study and other updated information by mail. At the Board Meeting on March 20th the Board reviewed budgetary trends from 2019 to the present day presented by Heidi Vancisin. We have made progress in reducing our water usage but the likelihood of significant water cost increases is a concern. Copies of the presentation are available by contacting our management company.

Landscaping Plan – Turf replacement
The Board recently sent out this message to homeowners: (minor edits)
We are pleased to let you know that Phase 1 of Sandy Point’s Turf Reduction plan is now underway. As you know, this plan looks to reduce our water consumption down from the 300% of our target usage to a more normal range, focusing on our Common Areas. Phase 1 addresses the Pool and Clubhouse area.
We are looking forward to a fresh, beautiful new landscape design and a lot less water usage (and expense!) in this area.
