NEXT BOARD MEETING
The next Board Meeting will be
held Wednesday, September 5,
2001, at 6:30 p.m. at the Morning
Creek Elementary School on
Morning Creek Drive. Members
are invited to attend and partake
during the open session.
LANDSCAPE UPGRADES
The tree removal/replacement
program is underway at the
intersection of Poway Road and
Springhurst. Many trees have
either been marked for removal,
been removed, or will be
considered for removal and
replaced by more appropriate
trees. The remaining trees will be
trimmed according to regular
trimming maintenance. The
purpose of this is to remove the
unsightly Eucalyptus trees and
replace them with trees that have
a better overall appearance.
Please be patient while the
upgrades are taking place.
The upgrade of the foliage along
the perimeter wall of the Stony
Brook homes was delayed
slightly. This was due to the fact
that exposed wires were found in
the ground cover along this area.
Pacific Properties will be
correcting the situation by placing
the wires in protective sleeves
and burying them. This is done
so that routine maintenance can
be performed without hassle to
the homeowners. After the wires
have been successfully buried,
the upgrades will be completed.
Nothing comes cheap in this
world anymore. The city water
department has recently notified
the Board that changes were
needed to bring the backflow
devices into compliance with the
current codes. The work being
performed is costing the
association in excess of
$13,000. Pacific Backflow Co., a
certified backflow inspector, will
be making the necessary
changes to the system and
submitting the final paperwork to
the city.
Many homeowners have
noticed a disturbance to the
stones at the front of the North
Creek monuments. These
stones were moved by the city
while the new traffic light was
being installed along Sabre
Springs Parkway. Pacific
Properties will be replacing the
stones to bring the area back to
its original condition within the
next few
weeks.

SABRE SPRINGS PLANNING
DEPARTMENT
The Sabre Springs Planning
Department is seeking volunteers
to sit on their Board of Directors.
If you would be interested in
being a part of this volunteer
department,
please
attend
their
next meeting. Meetings are
generally held the 3rd
Wednesday of the month (with
the exception of August) at 7:00
p.m. at the Carmel Mountain Rec
Center-SS. New projects for the
Sabre Springs area are
discussed at these meetings and
you could have some input as to
the direction of these projects
and their approval. Your
participation is greatly
appreciated.
RULES ENFORCEMENT
Each month, an inspection of
your community is performed.
Items that are addressed
include, but are not limited to,
weekly mowing the front lawn,
regular
fertilizing
of
all
plant
material
and
lawns,
and
painting/cleaning
needs.
Please
take
the
time
to
inspect
the
exterior
of
your home for possible
maintenance needs to avoid
getting one of the "courtesy
reminders" in the mail. These
inspections are done to keep the
community looking its best at all
times. And if you do receive a
reminder, please take the time to
address the situation as soon as
possible. It will benefit you in the
long run by keeping the property
values at their highest level and
improving how the community
looks as a whole.
PAINT DISCOUNT
The Frazee Paint store located in
Carmel Mountain Ranch is
currently offering a 25% discount
to ALL Sabre Springs homeowners
on their purchases. At that
location, all updated exterior home
color schemes for the North Creek
and Saddle Ridge homes are
posted. Homeowners are
encouraged to review the color schemes and choose a new one
when painting their home. Just
mention that you live in the Sabre
Springs neighborhood to receive
your discount. Remember,
painting your home a new color is
a way to increase the value of
your home and help to make your
neighborhood a more attractive
place to live.
REMINDER
As always, if you have a question
about improvements to your
property and how to get them
approved, or need information
about the association, please
