slurry seals or seal coatings.

HA5 does not ravel leaving loose aggregate/pebbles in the concrete curbs like typical slurry seals do.

TRASH CANS: If pavement

work is done in your area on

Monday, before trash day,

Please put trash cans in the

driveway until Tuesday

morning when you can roll

them from the drive onto the

Pavement Preservation/Asphalt Work

Please be advised Holbrook Asphalt (the contracted vendor) will begin Seal Coating the asphalt streets

within the Gated Communities (Ascot Park, Churchill Estates, La Ventana, Premier Court, and

Sienna Ridge) September 16th-26th, 2019. During the time of the pavement preservation work, no DRC

home/landscape modifications will be allowed due to asphalt street work . This means homeowners are not

permitted to make landscape/home modifications to their properties while the asphalt work is being done from

September 16th through the 26th. This is to avoid damaging newly paved streets and excess traffic in

neighborhoods.

During street preservation it is imperative that residents refrain from driving, parking, walking, and

standing on the street; this will result in damage to newly paved streets and possible fines from the

vendor. To access homes within the construction area, you must walk on the sidewalks or in the

concrete gutters, do not walk on the asphalt.

Each gated community will be broken up into separate areas, with one section in each neighborhood to

be done each day until the neighborhood is complete. Each area will be closed for 24 hours and

street access will be blocked off. (Emergency Vehicle Access Only) There will be no seal coat work

on Tuesday trash day and no parking citations will be issued during this time. Homeowners will be able

to park outside the treatment area during the time the seal coat has their area closed. Do not block other

resident’s driveways. Parking in the area scheduled for seal coating may result in the vehicle being

towed.

Homeowners will need to reschedule or notify any landscapers, pool cleaners, home healthcare services

and delivery/transportation services that if they must access the property during street preservation, they

must do so by parking off site and walking onto the property. (They will not permitted to drive up to the

property to load/unload equipment)

Staff has created a letter to give notice to the homeowners and provide them caution/prohibition about

dumpsters and parking during the seal coating time frame. Additionally, signs will be posted within the

area where seal coating is to be applied.

Holbrook Asphalt will be putting out notices

on each garage door the day before the

streets will be closed to traffic.

It is important that all residents be aware of

this preventive maintenance process because

there will be NO DUMPSTERS ALLOWED

within your Gated Communities during this

time.

Other Garage/Moving/Estates Sales: Residents may be permitted one (1) garage/moving/

be obtained from the Association office at least 2 weeks prior to the sale. The garage/moving/

estate sale may not exceed more than one weekend (Saturday and Sunday) in any 30 day

period. Homeowner/Tenant must pay a $100 fee (check or money order) at least two weeks

prior to the proposed sale to obtain a permit for the garage/moving/estate sale. Fifty dollars

($50) of the permit fee will be refunded if all signage is removed by 5 p.m. the final day of the

authorized sale. The sale must be attended at all times by a person responsible for the event

during advertised hours which may not to be prior to 8 a.m. or extend past 5:00 p.m. At no

but are not limited to, washers, dryers, refrigerators, exercise equipment, mattresses, bed

frames, automotive parts, and others, be left in a visible location with or without a for sale

locations.

Home For Sale /Open House Signage: The size of all signs must not exceed 18" x 24".

One For Sale sign is permitted on the front yard of the lot on a pole that is no higher than five

(5) feet, or in a window of the residence. Homeowner is allowed three (3) directional signs

and one (1) sign on the front yard for Open Houses. Entry gate codes are not to be displayed

or given out. Violation of the entry gate code will result in the gate code being changed and all

costs involved being billed to the account of the unit owner who either disclosed the rule or

whose tenant vendor or invitee disclosed the code. All permits will have the new rules notated

on the back of the permit and will be signed by the responsible owner regarding the sale.

Special Access into Gated Communities: In the case of a request for an off schedule

permitted sale in a gated community, the Association Staff will provide the homeowner/estate

sale organizer with a temporary gate code and will enter their phone number into the call box

to provide potential buyers entry into the main entry only of a gated community by pressing

the OPEN HOUSE/GARAGE SALE/ESTATE SALE button on the call box. This will allow the

Realtor/Organizers to buzz in their potential buyers into the community without giving out the

private gate code. Other conditions apply—please discuss with the office staff.

Reminder from the Accounting Department

Paying Assessments:

Are you still one of the several homeowners still paying the old Assessment amount each

month? Effective January 1, 2019 the monthly assessments changed.

Peccole Ranch processes the old monthly payment amounts, but wrong payment notices have

been mailed out to all those who fall into this category. So please check your recurring payment

amounts with your bank (bill pay), Credit Union or with the Alliance Bank website and correct your

payment amount.

All payments are due on the 1st of the month and are late after the 30th - Late fees will be applied

after the 30th day of the month if payment is not processed by the 30th.

The Ranch Round Up

The Board of Directors is in the process of the evaluating the Annual Budget. The process includes the review of those components which make up the reserve budget. As well as the standard annual expenses of the operating budget. Once the Budget is adopted (October) a copy of the budget summary will be sent to all owners, with a notification of the date for the Budget Ratification meeting. As it relates to the Reserve and Operating Budgets the following is important to consider:

The Peccole Ranch CC&R's Article 7, Section 4 grants authority to the Board of Directors to increase the monthly assessments by 10% annually, without homeowner approval

NRS 116.3115 grants the Board of Directors authority, without seeking or obtaining the approval of the units' owners, to impose any necessary and reasonable assessments against the units in the common-interest community for the funding of the reserves.

To avoid the potential of creating an environment where homeowners would face an inability to sell properties or declining property values because of underfunded reserves.

The Board favors the Full Funding method for reliability, within that framework the Board will accept a level of funding at 80 to 100%, so as to provide a level of assurance to future homeowners and lenders of adequate reserves to fund the identified common.

The Board believes in the principle core operating value of fairness, that those parties benefiting from the use of the common elements, current owners, should pay for the services provided and not defer their use expenses to future buyers.

The Association uses generally accepted accounting principles to protect the associations' solvency.

Mandatory Fall Seasonal Watering Restrictions take effect Sept. 1

Although the dog days of summer are still baking Southern Nevada, it’s never too soon to think about the cooler days of fall just around the

corner. And with the change of seasons comes the time to adjust your landscape irrigation clock to comply with mandatory fall seasonal

watering restrictions.

In effect Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, the seasonal restrictions limit landscape irrigation to three specific days per week, based on each customer’s

assigned watering group; watering on days other than on those assigned to your group is considered water waste, which may result in a water-

waste fee.

Changing your irrigation clock helps reduce community-wide water use by about 15 percent; do your part. To find your mandatory watering

group, call the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s (SNWA) Conservation Helpline at (702) 258-SAVE or visit snwa.com.

Speaking of fall…have you WSL’d yet?

Fall is our second spring in the Las Vegas Valley, which makes it a perfect time to put your landscape plans into action by converting your

thirsty grass to water-efficient plants, trees and shrubs with the SNWA’s Water Smart Landscapes Rebate program (WSL).

With WSL, homeowners and community associations who convert their landscapes receive $3 per square foot of grass converted, up to the

first 10,000 square feet of turf removed (the rebate is $1.50 per square foot beyond that; the maximum award for any property in a fiscal year is

$500,000).

Since its launch in 2000, WSL has helped Southern Nevada upgrade more than 190 million square feet of grass to water-efficient landscaping,

saving billions of gallons of water. Each square foot of water-efficient plants, trees, and shrubs uses 55 gallons less per year than an equivalent

amount of turf.

Taking advantage of our mild autumn temperatures to convert your landscape allows for a longer growing season,

while newly established roots can grow through the winter and are far better equipped to deal with next summer’s

dry, hot days.

For more information about WSL and to enroll, visit snwa.com.

How to Have a Successful Block Party

The most “effortless” looking events are usually the ones that are most carefully planned. To make

sure you and your neighborhood residents have a great time at the block party, you will need to plan

ahead. Here are some helpful tips:

Allow at least 4-6 weeks of planning time before your event. Find a group of individuals in your

neighborhood who are willing to work together to form an organizing committee. Once formed,

divide up tasks!

-Applications and budget—You may need permission to block off a city street—contact your

councilman or county Commissioner, they may have neighborhood funds for this type of event, Be

sure to contact the City for street closures and permits.

-Publicity--Creating Flyers, Visit Neighbors, Make Door Hangers, Phone Trees

-Food and Activities—Ask everyone to bring a dish for their family plus a little extra to share. If

serving is done buffet style, having people RSVP with their food item may be a good idea

-Set up, clean up, etc. - Plan to start setting up at least 2 hours before the event. Designate areas

for games and activities as well as conversation

-Decide how large a group you want to invite— just your block, the entire neighborhood, or

something in between.

-Pick a date, time and location, and make sure to have a “bad weather” plan.

Most of all: HAVE FUN! Thank those who attended and especially those who helped.

people.

2. Sit on your stoop occasionally and make

sure to wave and smile at people. While

you are out there listen to the birds and/or

watch the Quail.

3. Report any common area lights that may

be out for your safety and others. Go to

the local parks and invite a neighbor to go

with you.

4. Pick up litter even if you didn't leave it

there.

5. Remember that if you have pets, children

might be playing in the same area you are

in so please pick up any waste quickly. If a

neighbor sees you without a pooper bag,

you have just become suspect in leaving

poop all over, which can cause frustration

and anger.

6. Think about doing one thing every day that

helps to get to know your neighbors.

7. Talk to neighbors who just happen to be

Open, Shut them, Open, Shut them, make a

little lap, Open, Shut them, Open, Shut

them, unbuckle your car strap. We are an

automatic garage door society. It appears

that we may give a little wave as we drive

by, but most of us just drive in and drive out

of our garages and don’t interact with our

neighbors.

It doesn't have to be that way and can in fact

be turned around by one or two people

wanting to increase build a sense of

community. Will everyone jump on board,

absolutely not, but a majority will do so and

start talking about the great place in which

they live

Here are some ideas of where to start to

help create a positive reputation and build a

positive sense of community:

1. Turn off your TV and leave your house. It

is not only good for our neighborhood, but

your body. Take a walk around your

neighborhood and look up when you are

walking. Take the first step to greet

picking up their mail at a group mailbox at

the same time. Ask how things are going.

It may surprise you what you will learn and

with which you can help. Talk to the mail

carrier if you are out when he or she

delivers. It can make a difference when

they talk about the perception of how

friendly neighborhood seems.

8. Have pot lucks

9. Honor our military; current or former

members and your elders. Help someone

carry something heavy.

10.Start a tradition. Organize a block party.

11.Bake or cook extra and share

12.Ask for help when you need it.

13.Share your skills - If you are a MacGyver

and time to help, why not offer?

14.Never doubt that a small group of

thoughtful neighbors can change their

community.

Knowing your neighbors makes you feel safer in your community. It's also a great way to feel supported and find new and lifelong friends.

Getting along with neighbors can sometimes be difficult, but it all starts with being a good neighbor yourself.

One way to be a good neighbor is to simply take pride in your neighborhood. Embrace it for what it is, find out what you can do to make it

better, and tell others about how much you love your community.

Follow these do's and don’ts with your neighbors and see if you can turn polite encounters into lasting friendships.

Do get to know your neighbor’s names and take the initiative to give a friendly wave or approach them for conversation when you see

them.

Do keep your entrance, yard, and exterior of your home appealing and clutter-free.

Do talk to your neighbors before purchasing items like fences, landscaping services, and sprinkler systems — you may benefit from

sharing the cost of upgrades and labor.

Do invite your neighbors to your parties and try to host a neighborhood get-together or barbeque at least once a year.

Do return all borrowed items quickly and with gratitude.

Do carry bags to clean up after your pet, even if it’s in your front yard.

Don’t peek through the blinds to see what your neighbors are up to.

Don’t leave holiday decorations up for a prolonged period of time.

Don’t play loud music or have noisy parties into the late hours of the night.

Don’t let your pets wander freely through the neighborhood without you around. All pets are to be on a leash at all times.

Don’t be afraid to ask neighbor’s advice about hobbies, gardening, or home maintenance.

Don’t hesitate to invite neighbors over to your home for dinner or drinks.

Put Down Your Phone and Talk to a Stranger! You’ll feel happier!

Several years ago, psychologist Elizabeth Dunn and her colleague Gillian M.

Sandstrom, from University of British Columbia tested whether short conversations

with strangers could lift moods. In the study, people who had a social interaction with a

barista (even sharing a smile, making eye contact, or having a brief conversation)

experienced more positive affects of feelings of belonging than people who were as

brief as possible with their order. These results suggest that, although people are often

reluctant to have a genuine social interaction with a stranger, they are happier when

they treat a stranger like a weak connection. The same researchers found that these

seemingly trivial encounters with the strangers in our lives say the random guy at the

dog park or a stranger walking out of a meeting — can affect feelings of happiness

and human connection on a typical day.

According to Kipling Williams, a Purdue University

psychologist who expounded on the Dunn and Sandstrom

study found just that brief acknowledgment, that brief glance

— with or without a smile — made them at least temporarily

feel more socially connected. And it works both ways. Those

that had been "looked through" felt even more disconnected

than the control group in the study. No one likes feeling

invisible when someone walks past. The Germans even

have a term for it — wie Luft behandeln, which means "to be

looked at as though air."

The Do’s and Don’ts of Being a Good Neighbor

Ask a Question

You share a mailman, a fence and

probably a cup of sugar in a pinch, but

how much do you know about your next-

door neighbors? Whether your neighbor

is new to the hood or has been there for

decades, there is plenty your little one

can learn by interviewing them on their

likes, dislikes and knowledge of the

neighborhood.

1. When did you move into the

neighborhood?

2. How was it different than it is today?

3. Tell me about your previous next-door

neighbors.

4. Where else have you lived?

5. What sounds do you hear from our

house on a daily basis?

6. What is your favorite neighborhood

walk?

7. Tell me about one of our other

neighbors that you’ve met.

COYOTESAFETY

Annual Fall Clean Up Tips

The first 5 are the big issues that raise insurance rates when not done causing claims: Change Washing Machine Water Hoses – Regularly Unless you have the heavy duty hoses, the washing machine hoses are one of the main water claims in homes. It is almost a tie with water heaters. Clean Dishwasher Drain Bin & Water Hoses - Make a calendar entry monthly There is a drain at the bottom of your dishwasher that'll collect all the little bits of food that get power-washed off your plates and glasses. Eventually all those can accumulate and clog the drain. Make sure to lift up and clean out any buildup that accumulates to keep your dishwasher and drain from backing up. Dishwasher Water Hoses should be changed regularly. Checked Annually This claim is a close runner up to the water heater and the washing machine water claims. Check the manufacturers recommendations and follow them very closely. Check your bathtubs for overflow drains – Now and with any changes Unfortunately, some tubs do not have overflow drains on them and many claims have been filed for someone leaving the water running in the tub to make a quick phone call, answer the door, etc. only to remember when the water is pouring down the stairs and/or through the ceiling. Check the water line to your refrigerator if you have a water line there. Many water claims are filed for this line breaking. Check with the manufacturer to see if there are any regular maintenance items that need to be performed on your refrigerator. Clean A/C Drainage Pipes - Make a calendar entry once a year If you have an outdoor A/C unit and indoor furnace there are two pipes you want to clean, one indoors and one out. The outdoor one can be cleaned using a wet-dry shop-vac. Simply attach the vac to the end of the hose and turn on to suck and dislodge any grime and buildup. The one indoors can be cleaned with some hot water. Simply find the tube, and flush with hot water to remove any sludge. Flush Hot Water Heater - Make a calendar entry once a year Hot water heaters are subject to buildup from minerals in the water. You can extend the life of these units and prevent future problems by draining them and flushing out any deposits. Lubricate Garage Door Springs - Make a calendar entry once a year Those large metal springs hanging directly above the garage door need annual lubrication. There is a lot of tension and stress from pulling the weight of the door and extreme weather conditions can weaken the metal, causing the springs to eventually break. Oil these springs, along with the hinges and metal rollers (not nylon) with a non-silicone based lubricant to keep problems at bay. Aerate Lawn - Make a calendar entry once a year If you want a healthy lawn, yearly aeration is something you'll want to look into. What this maintenance basically does is let your lawn breathe by pulling out inch-long plugs from the soil.

Disc Golf Course

Peccole Ranch is a private disc golf course for the use and enjoyment of the residents

of our community. However, due to some complaints from residents who live along the

course, and pedestrians who use the walking trails, the Board of Directors with input

from an AdHoc Committee, have made some changes to how the course is to be

played. Specifically, changes are being made to the Course on Holes 1, 3, 4 and 12,

the first week of May.

There will be a sign posted at the first tee clearly noting that Disc Golf Players are

guests on a private course and are to adhere to the new rules of play. Disc Golfers do

not have the right of way and must yield to pedestrians and give due warning to

persons engaging in passive activities. Absolutely no alcohol allowed. Carts and

coolers must be kept on the sidewalks. If a disc is thrown into a residential property,

because of the concerns and threats of home invasion, you may not trespass into a

private backyard.

Discs will be returned to the Association Office and you may reclaim them at a later

date. Any violation of the rules or damage to vegetation will subject the violator to be

trespassed and any other available remedies the Association may deem necessary, up

to charging a use fee to those individuals who are not residents, or the removal of the

course. All players are expected to cooperate with the courtesy patrol and respect the

rights of property owners. The PRCA Courtesy Patrol may ask for identification at any

time, if you do not have identification you WILL BE asked to leave.

Rules and maps for the Disc Golf

Course are available in the PRCA

office. The Disc Golf Course is

private; privileges may be revoked.
