- We are often asked about the insurance policy for the Association. If you have questions about insurance, please contact our Insurance professional, Dianna Kaspar, at CAU Insurance. Her telephone number is 800-228-1930, x 7181. The Association master insurance policy is effective May 1, 2009 through May 1, 2012.
- As a reminder, if you have landscape concerns or notice an area in need of attention, contact Lee Cox, landscape liaison, in writing. Mr. Cox walks the community regularly with the landscape service provider. Per the terms of the landscape contract, no work is conducted on any Owner plantings and no work is conducted behind Owner installed gates or fences.
Please do not dispose of yard waste in the common areas or open space areas.
- Please do not adjust the landscaping sprinkler timing These are to be adjusted for proper landscape maintenance by Parsinen Landscape Maintenance only. If you have suggestions as to possible adjustments you would like to make to your timing system, contact Lee Cox in writing. Never turn the water shutoff valve off at the meter nearest to the road. Doing this affects the neighboring unit’s water pressure and will disrupt regular watering of the sprinkler system to all homes attached to yours and will cause damage. Any damage resulting from shutting water off at water meter will be at the expense of who is responsible?
- The ground cover/bark in the maintained landscaped areas was recently freshened with a higher quality, longer lasting product. The mowing of the open space behind the landscaped area was newly completed.
- You may receive an invoice from Sunland Water District assessing a fee for a water meter installed at your home. This is an expense of the individual homeowner as it is unit specific. All homeowners of Sunland and Sunland Division 17 can expect to pay for water meters installed on their water connections within the next seven years as required by Sunland Water District. Contact the Sunland Water District if you have any questions.
- Spring Cleaning reminder: Now is a good time to inspect and clean the interior and exterior dryer Here are some simple steps to protect your home from fire:
- Clean the dryer lint filter before or after drying every load of laundry.
- Vacuum lint from behind and beneath your dryer on a regular basis.
- Inspect and clean the exterior dryer vent at least annually.
- In an effort to streamline Exterior Change Proposals and Exterior Maintenance Requests, new forms and checklists are available on the Owners section of the Sunland North website. If you plan any changes to the exterior of your unit, please submit the Exterior Change Proposal checklist in writing to the Association and allow 30 days for written approval. Changes include any installed work such as fences, gates or modifications to any patio surface. Please send these requests to the Association, not to the landscape liaison.
