Homeowners,

We need to remind you that each homeowner is required to maintain their trees and shrubs insuring they do not overhang community sidewalks or streets.

For safety reasons there must be at least eight feet of clearance above sidewalks and 14 feet above streets.  Trees, shrubs and any other obstructions should also be removed/pruned back to make sure they do not extend into sidewalks or block streetlights and road signs (e.g. speed limit, stop and no parking signs).

PLEASE NOTE - During their regular drive-through inspections, our DSI Association Manager will identify properties that have trees or bushes, etc., extending into our sidewalks and impeding pedestrian passage.  Notices will be sent to those homeowners directing corrective action be taken.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and we appreciate your support in maintaining the appearance and safety of our neighborhood.

If you have any questions or need more information in this regard, please contact Jean Cariaga, our Association Manager at DSI, Tel# 208-939-6118 or by email at jean@dev-services.com.

Thank you.

Policy / Procedure:

The Banbury Meadows Home Owners Association has its own irrigation system.  We own the main pumps, lines and valves.  However, the homeowner’s irrigation system begins on their side of the HOA main line and valve (buried deep underground) which can be found in the back corner of each lot.

What to do in an emergency when a leak is discovered in the HOA irrigation system:

1. During normal business hours please call Development Services, Inc. (DSI) 208-939-6000 and describe the problem and circumstances.  Upon their discretion, they will dispatch someone to look at the leak and call Aloha Landscaping if deemed appropriate.  Unless your yard is being significantly damaged we urge you to wait until normal business hours to contact DSI and report the leak.

2. If possible determine if the leak is in the HOA system/main line or on your side of the main valve.  If you find that the leak is in the HOA system, and it’s after normal business hours, you may call Aloha at (208) 322-9069.  Should you determine that the leak is within your irrigation system you can:  (1) Make repairs yourself, (2) Call your own landscaper, or (3) contact Aloha Landscaping and they will make the necessary repairs at your/homeowner’s expense.

3. Aloha Landscaping provides 24/7 emergency services and will dispatch a technician to evaluate and fix urgent irrigation problems.

4. Billing for repairs made: Once Aloha arrives onsite they will confirm if the leak is coming from the HOA main irrigation system or from the homeowner’s.  If the leak is determined to be within the HOA system they will send the bill to DSI.  However, if the leak is found to be within the homeowner’s system Aloha will bill them directly for the cost of the repairs and service call.

Also, it is recommended that you turn off your system as soon as a leak is discovered.  DSI or Aloha Landscaping will know how best to handle the problem and there will be no cost to you unless the leak is determined to be within your/homeowner’s irrigation system.

Thank you.

Homeowners,

The HOA and Board of Directors supports the display of the flag of the United States, State of Idaho, POW/MIA and branches of the U.S.. Armed Forces and other flags by Homeowners.  However, a policy is necessary to ensure the flags are displayed in a proper, respectful and consistent manner.

To achieve this objective the Board has created and approved the attached Policy governing the display of Flags within our community.  For the most part this policy restates the guidelines set-forth in both United States and Idaho State Code.  Homeowners are encouraged to become familiar with the attached Policy and both of the referenced Federal and State Codes when considering the display of flags within our neighborhood.

The HOA Policy governing the display of Flags can be viewed or downloaded by double clicking HERE.

If you have any questions concerning this policy, please contact our Association Manager, Jean Cariaga, DSI, Ph# 208-939-6000 or email - [email protected]

Thank you.

NOTICE RESENT DUE TO UPGRADES MADE TO WEBSITE EMAIL SERVICES

Homeowners,

If you notice a streetlight off at night or still on by midday, please report it to Jean Cariaga, Development Services via email at [email protected] or by phone 208-939-6000.

Thank you!

Your Board of Directors

Dear Homeowners,

We have recently had to change our primary email address for the HOA's Webstie (https://www.banburymeadows.org/).

As a result, emails / notices from our website to our homeonwers may not be recongized by your email application and redirected to your "Junk or Trash" file upon receipt.

To address this issue, request you add our new HOA Website email address ([email protected]) to your email contact list/address book.  Doing so will direct our future Email Notices to your In-Box and not your "Junk or "Trash" email file.

If you have any questions or need further details, please contact our Assocation Manager, Jean Cariaga, DSI, at 208-939-6000 or [email protected]

Thank you.

Board of Directors    

Dear Homeowners,

It has come to the attention of the Board that there may be some confusion as to who can and who cannot use the gravel walking path located at the bottom of the Bench running adjacent to the Banbury Golf Course along fairways 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.

As a reminder the Bench Hillside down to the stream at the bottom belongs to the Banbury HOA, which is sometimes referred to as "Upper Banbury".  This area, including the walking path, is private property and is posted as "No Trespassing" and for the use of the Banbury HOA Homeowners ONLY..  This of course does not include our "Banbury Meadows" homeowners.

Please note, due to the recent "Trespassing Laws" adopted here in the State of Idaho violations of these laws can result in fines being issued and can be determined to be a misdemeanor under the law.

If you have any questions or need further details concerning this issue, please contact our Association Manager, Jean Cariaga, DSI, Tel# 208-939-6000 or [email protected].

Thank you.

Board of Directors

Dear Villas Homeowners,

The Villas Board of Directors has recently been informed by Murillo’s Landscaping that they have decided to exercise their 6 month “Opt-Out” clause in our three (3) year Lawn Care contract.   This clause applies to both Murillo’s and our HOA, which gave us the ability to terminate the contract for any reason, as long as we provided each other 6-month advance notice (once the Opt-Out clause has been exercised).

For your information, Murillo’s decision was not an easy one for them to make and was based primarily on personal family considerations and another work related opportunity that has come up,  Murillo’s (Renee) informed us that this new opportunity will be less demanding and will allow them to spend more time with their family. Although we regret this decision has become necessary, we also understand Murillo’s position and want to wish them all the best and thank them for their service to our community.

For your information Murillo’s will continue to fulfill their contract obligations through the end of the 2022 season and anticipate their last lawn care services to end on or about the 18th of November.  This date is of course subject to change based on local weather conditions and other factors at the time.  We will provide more details as we approach the end of the season.  

As a result of this announcement the Board is taking the necessary steps to solicit bids from other potential Lawn Care companies to replace Murillo’s beginning in the Spring of 2023.  The Board will keep you (our membership) informed as this process progresses and will announce the selection of our new lawn care service provider once it has been identified and selected.  Our plan or intention is to have a new Lawn Care Service company identified and hired by the end of the year.

The Board also wants to assure our homeowners that we take this replacement process seriously and will do our best to find the most qualified lawn care service company available, while making every effort to keep our operating costs down and hopefully within our current budget and the HOA fees paid by our homeowners.

Should you have any questions or need further details in this regard, please contact our Association Manager, Jean Cariaga, at 208-939-6000 or via email at [email protected].  You can also contact or Board directly at [email protected]. 

Thank you and we appreciate your patience, understanding and support as we complete this process.
