As a follow-up to the concern presented at the previous meeting regarding garbage cans being left in front of homes, Carol reported that the issue has been resolved and is no longer a concern.
Carol wrote a letter to Greener Grounds Landscaping regarding the proper maintenance of the oleander plants. She will also ask that Greener Grounds employees pick up the cuttings and debris rather than blowing them into surrounding areas.
- Susan Thomas expressed concern regarding a homeowner whose landscaping has become overgrown with weeds and appears to be inadequately watered. It was suggested to text the homeowner to encourage regular watering and offering a one-time weed cleanup to help address the issue.
- Roads & Security: Susan Thomas attended a Ridgemark Homeowner’s Zoom meeting. The homeowners meeting emphasized the need for a quick pass and stronger enforcement. Homeowners presented questions, and discussion followed. No action was taken. The questions will be addressed at the next meeting.
- Old Business
- Bylaws and CC&R: Changes and updates have been made to our By-Laws and CC&Rs in accordance with new laws that have taken effect and those changes we have requested. These changes reflect current law and those that need Homeowner approval.
Paul will respond to the questions asked by our attorney, Rod Baydaline regarding new construction using our roads and minimum construction standards. He did not find any other changes or amendments to what is stated in Article 10 of our Bylaws which calls for a minimum 1900 sq foot dwelling , or in Section 7.10 of our CC&Rs regarding the 10,000 sq ft lot requirement.
Ridgemark XI HOA insurance coverage will be vetted by our insurance broker to ensure compliance with our bylaws.
Susie brought to the Board’s attention that some homes within the HOA have multiple vehicles parked on the property. The CC&R’s do not currently address passenger vehicles. No action at this time.
- Election Service: Paul reported that Ridgemark XI HOA is required to have a ballot election every four years. He suggested using an election service ProElections. The estimated cost would be $1300-$1400. Mail-in election ballots require 90 days, while electronic ballots require 120 days.
This company can also process the updated bylaws and CC&R’s.
Further discussion of election options will be discussed at the December 10, 2026 meeting.
