ARC – Recommended Color Schemes
The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) has new recommended color schemes for repainting Sandy Point homes. These schemes were created working with the Dunn-Edwards paint company. You can view the color schemes via links on our ARC Forms page (login required).
Homeowners may not start repainting, or any external changes, before obtaining approval. Please allow at least five weeks to complete the ARC and Board review and approval process. See the ARC application form for details.
Landscaping Company Change
The Board has contracted with Nissho of California, Inc. to provide landscape maintenance services for the community, beginning May 1, 2025. The maintenance schedule will be Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Please contact Management if you have any landscaping concerns rather than making requests to the landscape crew on-site.
Construction Cleanup
Please make sure your vendors follow community parking rules and thoroughly clean up any debris or materials after completing their work. There have been reports of nails found on the streets, which have damaged residents’ tires.
Spa Emergency Switch
The on/off switch at the spa is for emergency use only. It must not be used to turn off the bubbler.
The bubbler is on a timer and will turn off automatically, do not use the emergency switch to control it

Maintenance Update
The Lagoon Committee is removing built-up sludge, which will be temporarily dried on adjacent grass areas before being disposed. Please keep children and pets away from the drying sludge. Pets must be on a leash and children must be supervised at all times. The lagoons are up to 4 feet deep and children must stay away from the lagoons and fake rocks.
Many thanks are due to Joe Petras and Maintenance Committee volunteers. They continue to save us $1,000s by helping to remove sludge in the lagoon, fixing bollards, painting and general maintenance.
The Board has approved a new type of lighting bollard. New bollards will only be installed if the current bollard fails.

Our entry gate code changed on Feb 4th 2025. It is not posted on this website. The guest code operates only from 6:00am to 8:00pm. Please use this code for guests, delivery people and contractors. The resident code is active at all times. Residents that are not homeowners should contact the owner or Helm Management for the codes.
Please keep the pedestrian gate closed and never include the gate code on notices at the gate or online posts.
Clubhouse Rules Change
The changes to our Clubhouse Rules have been approved and are included with the Clubhouse Reservation form.

Landscaping Plan – Turf replacement
Sandy Point’s Turf Reduction 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.
