Dear Homeowners,

With fall around the corner, the ACHD notice/flyer below reminds us all that sweeping, blowing, or flushing dirt, debris, leaves, etc., from residential properties into the street is not permitted.  Doing so not only makes our community unsightly but it will also clog our street gutters and storm drains, which can result in flooding.

A word of caution - - this restriction is based on Idaho State Stature, Eagle City and ADA County Codes, and is a misdemeanor under State Law.

On behalf of the Association, Banbaury Meadows Community, and your neighbors, we appreciate your compliance and support of this restriction as it will benefit us all.

Thank you.

Board of Directors

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 seven (7) feet of clearance above sidewalks and fourteen (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.  When required, notices will be sent to 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# 208-939-6000 or by email at jean@dev-services.com.

Thank you.

Board of Directors

Homeowner's Recreational and Utility Vehicles (Motorhomes, RV’s, Campers, Boats, Trailers, etc.) can be temporarily parked on their driveways, or residential streets, for a period not to exceed 72 hours to load, unload and clean the vehicles. 

In this regard, please exercise caution when placing power cords or hoses extending across sidewalks, or other walking areas.  For safety reasons placing mats or a similar covering over the cords/hoses will help preclude tripping by pedestrians walking in our neighborhood.  

Please be mindful of your neighbors and community by following this HOA Policy and Eagle City Ordinance.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Homeowners,

Please be advised, the Association has received information from a few homeowners reporting recent suspicious activity in our community in the form the theft of mail from their mailboxes.  The mail stolen has been identified as checks.

These reports also indicated seeing an older late model Maroon Colored Dodge Avenger roaming our community which may have been connected to this activity.

Although this situation has been reported to the authorities, homeowners are also asked to be vigilant and report any suspecious activity they may observe to our local Police Department.

Thank you.

Board of Directors 

Dear Homeonwers,

For your information, the Board of Directors have had several inquiries from our homeowners concerning the repainting of the Fire Hydrants within our community.  The Board acknowledges the Fire Hydrants are in need of maintenance and repainting as they have (in many cases) become unsightly and do not reflect the pride our Assocation has in the appearance of our community.

Based on this assessement the Board sent a formal request to the owners of the Fire Hydrants, Veolia Water of Idaho, asking that our Association be permitted to repaint the Fire Hydrants.  Veolia's reply, which is attached, was unfortunately negative and advised us we are not allowed to repaint or maintain the Fire Hydrants (double click HERE to view Veolia's letter).

The good news, and we are hopeful this will become a reality, Violia also stated they will move the repainting of our Fire Hydrants up their maintenance schedule and make it a higher priority.

Although we do not have an exact timeframe for this maintenance to take place, we want to assure our homeowers we will continue to monitor Veolia's commitment to complete this work as soon as possible.

We will keep you informed as to any progress made in this regard.

Dear Homeowners,

In addition to the reminder below, the HOA has been advised that one or more dog owners have been depositing their plastic poop bags in flower beds and under plants along the sidewalks in the vicinity of Mary Post and Colchester.

Should you observe this activity we ask that you remind the dog owner(s) to be more respectful and considerate of their neighbors and properly dispose of their bags.

Thank you.

Board of Directors

Dear Homeowners,

It has been brought to our attention that some homeowners are walking their dogs/pets in the BanBury Meadows neighborhood without a leash and are failing to clean up after them (sidewalks, streets and lawns of both private properties and our common area).

Homeowners are reminded City of Eagle Ordinance 4-5-1 & 2 and BanBury Meadows HOA CC&R's, 4.19, require all dogs/pets being walked outside private properties be on a leash not to exceed eight (8) feet in length and owners must clean up after their pets.  

For the safety of our neighbors and appearance of our community the Association would appreciate all pet owners support by following these policies and guidelines.

Thank You.

Board of Directors

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,

Trash and Recycle Bins should only be put out on the street no earlier than dusk on Sundays and put away no later than dusk on Mondays.  If you are going to be gone during this period, please make arrangements to have someone put your containers out and taken in for you.

Please note, Republic Services, our Waste Management Company, requires all trash and recycle bins be placed on the street, against the curb, and NOT on sidewalks.  This is necessary as their service trucks and automated retrieval system cannot pickup bins from the sidewalks.  Placing the bins on sidewalks also impedes pedestrians and poses a safety hazard to members of our community walking through the neighborhood.

Homeowners are also reminded, Trash and Recycle Bins are to be stored out of sight from the street and your neighbors view (section 4.12, CC&R's).

Thank you for your support in maintaining the safety and appearance of our community.

Board of Directors

Dear Homeowners,

It has been brought to our attention that one or more vendors have been walking the neighborhood offering (at cost) to paint house numbers on our homeowners street curbs.

Although the HOA does not object, nor endorse, house numbers being painted on our curbs we ask homeowners choosing to have this service performed select the standard white background with black numbers.  

Curb signs which contain designs other than a white background are not permitted without prior ARC / Board approval.

If you have any questions or concerns pertaining to this issue, please contact our Association Manager, Jean Cariaga, DSI, Ph # 208-939-6000.

Thank you for your support in maintaining the appearance of our neighborhood.

Board of Directors

The company is APEX Home Services and you can contact them by calling Todd Moats at (208) 761-5755 or email him at [email protected]..

As an exception to our CC&Rs, and to be consistent with Idaho State Code 55-115, the HOA Board determined it was necessary to clarify the Association's policy on this issue.

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
