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.

Dear Homeowners,

Our Main HOA Irrigation System will be activated and available for your use beginning Tuesday, 12 April.  Please note, the system will be pressurized, pumps tested and main lines flushed out during the week of 4 April, and it will take a few days to get the entire system fully operational and the water pressure tweaked for normal service.

As a precaution, and before the turn-on process begins, it is recommended homeowners check to make sure their residential main irrigation valves/gates, including garden hose faucets, etc., are turned off by 1 April. This will ensure that the initial surge of water pressure (performed the following week) does not result in leaks that could be caused by valves stuck open over the winter season.  You are then encouraged to open your main valves/gates on or after the 12th of April.

Please note, it is normal for your main irrigation filter, and sprinkler heads, to collect debris and sometimes become clogged during the first few weeks of operation.  Although the HOA will have flushed out our main irrigation lines, some algae and other unwanted material may continue to flow through those lines.

If you have any questions or need additional details concerning this notice, please contact DSI, Jean Cariaga at 208-939-6000 or by email at [email protected]

Thank you.

***************************** PREVIOUS NOTICE **************

Dear Homeowners,

The Board has been informed that a Burglary at one of our residences on W. Whiff Drive occurred early this morning.  The culprit(s) entered the garage through a door left partially open over night.  Earlier this morning neighbors reported seeing a car driving slowly down the street, which may have been related to this break-in.  The local police have been notified and are working the case.

In this regard, and as a matter of routine security, the Board of Directors would like to share with you a helpful and informative Security Guide provided by the Eagle Police Department (to download the guide double click here).  This guide outlines many helpful hints for homeowners to enhance the security of their home and our community.   Recommend you print a copy of this guide and retain it for future reference and use.

Also, please be aware, recently we have had reports of suspicious vehicles roaming our community and parking for short periods of time during the day & night.  Request you be vigilant in this regard and report any suspicious activity to the local Eagle Police Department.

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.

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.

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
