Here is your neighborhood news for the week of October 26:
A WORD OR TWO ABOUT YARD SIGNS
With the general election just weeks away and the seasonal crush of home improvement contractors working in our development, the Board reminds residents to observe our association Signage Policy. The Signage Policy was created to maintain neighborhood aesthetics free of distractions and excessive or garish promotions.
With the general election just weeks away and the seasonal crush of home improvement contractors working in our development, the Board reminds residents to observe our association Signage Policy. The Signage Policy was created to maintain neighborhood aesthetics free of distractions and excessive or garish promotions.
Per the Declarations of Restrictions, Section 5(B): “No signs or advertisements shall be displayed or placed on any lot or structure in the Development without the prior written approval of the Committee.”
There are exceptions, of course. The following signs do not need approval, per a Board vote in 2011:
For more about the types of permitted signs, location, display duration and realtor restrictions, please see the Signage Policy posted on the Eagle Nest blog.
Unfortunately, yard signs can be an easy target for thieves. Last week, a resident in the 7700 block of Warbler Way had an election sign swiped. A police report was filed, so we may see occasional patrol cars. And no, contacting police isn't overreacting. We don't want anything taken from anyone's property. The Board urges all residents call 911 if you see any suspicious activities.

CLUBHOUSE UPDATE: “PIZZA HUT” ROOF REPAIR
You might have noticed some activity atop our Clubhouse last week. We had to replace the decades-old, deteriorating rubber membrane and flashing lining the “Pizza Hut” architectural roof top to prevent interior damage. Several small sections of water-damaged decking also needed to be replaced. Luckily, we got it all fixed up before the winter weather arrives. Next spring, we may need to repair a few soft spots in the main roof decking, but overall the 45-year-old structure is in good shape.
JET’S PIZZA RETURNING ON WEDNESDAY
That’s right – Jet’s Pizza returns for an encore dinner appearance 5-7 p.m. Wednesday at the Clubhouse. You know the drill: $5 personal pizzas (choice of sausage, cheese or pepperoni), hot and boxed and ready to go. CASH ONLY. Sales were slow last week, so unless business picks up this could be their last appearance for the year. Pick up a box (or two)! As always, please observe CDC guidelines on social distancing and mask use, and be careful entering and leaving the Clubhouse parking lot. Thank you!
