Community Update

Neighbors,

A community update has been a long time coming. A lot has changed in the last few years. COVID, snowpocalypse, ice storm, dry summers, etc. The HOA has been lenient of enforcement during these times with an understanding of each situation at hand. However, these hot dry summers are not rare for Austin. We are aware of the recent move to Stage 2 water restrictions, but watering is still allowed morning and night one day a week as it has been for years. As the trees in our neighborhood have matured, more yards are now shaded and not getting as much sun. We can no longer focus on just getting through this summer expecting next summer will be different. This is what we should expect every summer and we all need to make accommodations for our weather reality.

As the Board is taking steps to revitalize our neighborhood common areas, we also ask for homeowner effort to restore the beauty of our neighborhood including yards, trees and bushes. If you have received a violation for your yard, do not ignore it. Please understand we are asking for an open communication with your remediation plan, even if the plan may be implemented in a few months. If you plan to change your landscaping you must submit an ACC Application prior to making the change. The ACC welcomes xeriscape plans and water-conscious designs. Xeriscape guidelines are outlined in the ACC application.

Board Update: At the annual meeting in May, Amanda Young was elected to the board of directors, joining Peter Carbone and Saul Cruz. Amanda was a previous board member from years ago and we welcome back her knowledge and experience. Unfortunately, Saul recently moved out of our neighborhood. After meeting with several interested homeowners, the Board appointed Kellen Segura to fill the remainder of Saul’s term. Kellen has lived in the neighborhood for 7 years and is excited to contribute in making this a great community to live in.

Management Update: We have switched over to a new manager at Pioneer Beck. Amanda Davis will take over management of our community. She has managed HOA properties for over 10 years and we are excited to have her expertise. You may reach her at amanda@pioneerbeck.com or management@scofieldridge.org.

Committee Update: We have added 3 new members to the ACC committee and also have new volunteers for the social committee.

With events now being planned for the near future, and community landscape improvements already being done, we have a lot of exciting things to look forward to. Keep an eye out for those upcoming event announcements.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
