Dear Homeowners,

During our Main HOA's Annual Membership Meeting held in March 2023, the Banbury Meadows Homeowners Association announced the establishment of a community-wide Neighborhood Watch program (NW).  This program is headed up by the program's Area Coordinators, Carol and Ron Grant, homeowners/members of our association.  

As you know Neighborhood Watch Programs provide an important service to our community by raising Safety and Security Awareness within our community and work closely with both our homeowners and the local Police Department ensuring the sharing and dissemination of important alerts and related information.

If you are new to the community or would like to reconfirm that you are on the NW contact list, please reach out to Carol and Ron at [email protected].  When doing so please provide your email address, cell phone number, and street address so you can be assigned to an appropriate NW Contact/Street Captain and receive future alerts/notifications.

Thank you.

Board of Directors

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 Statute, 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.

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.

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.

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,

Our HOA Management Company and the Board of Directors have again received reports that a few of our homeowners are leaving food out in their yards for wildlife.  Unfortunately, this practice attracts a variety of critters and undesirable animals (primarily Raccoons, Fox, Coyotes, Squirrels, etc.).  These critters, although cute, can and do cause damage to residential properties, carry diseases, and pose a threat to domestic pets and children.

Unfortunately, once the wildlife finds a regular and reliable food source they will continue to return and in most cases need to transit other homeowners' properties which causes several additional issues and problems.

On behalf of the Association, the Board of Directors requests that homeowners refrain from putting out food that may contribute to this problem by attracting undesirable wildlife.

Thank you.

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,

Just to let you know, due to today's wet rainy weather conditions, Brother Bear Lawn Care has been forced to suspend their regular service today, Tuesday, 17 September.

Depending on our weather conditions tomorrow, Wednesday, 18 September, BBLC will return and continue their work.

Please note, due to the wet conditions of the lawns they will most likely only mow, edge, and blow the front yards tomorrow.  The backyard lawns are too wet and attempting to mow them will damage the grass.

Also be advised, that over the next week or so, BBLC will be adjusting our irrigation timers to shorter watering times to account for the cooler and wetter weather we are having.  If you notice that your lawn is receiving too much water recommend you turn your irrigation timer to the OFF position.

Thank you and we appreciate your understanding of this adjustment in our Lawn Care Services.

Villas Board of Directors

Dear Villas Homeowners,

Your attention is invited to the recent email Notice issued by the Main HOA (see below) concerning the implementation of a scheduled irrigation watering schedule.

The Villas Homeowners do not need to take any action in this regard.  The Villas HOA will address this issue

If you have any questions or need further details, please contact the Villas Board at the following email address:  [email protected]

Thank you.

Board Meetings Neighborhood News Homeowner Information Links of Interest             Temporary and Voluntary Irrigation Watering Schedule John Boyd, Website Manager, 07-11-24 Dear Homeowners, Given the current issues the Association is having with our low irrigation water pressure, and after consideration of our available options to resolve this issue, the Board has decided to implement a TEMPORARY and VOLUNTARY residential watering schedule.  This schedule will be effective immediately and will run until repairs can be made to our Irrigation Pump System and our unusually hot weather conditions subside and return to a more manageable temperature. The Association/DSI will not attempt to police or enforce this schedule and instead request each homeowner TEMPORARILY AND VOLUNTARILY adjust their watering schedule as outlined below to allow all of our homeowners to have access to sufficient water pressure needed to irrigate their lawns. The Board regrets having to take this action, however, due to the unforeseen failure of some of our irrigation equipment, and a temporary reduction of some of our available irrigation water resources, we must take these extraordinary steps to provide the best irrigation water pressure possible to our homeowners. The temporary watering schedule is provided below: 1.  If your address ends in an even number (i.e. 66 Oakhampton) then you should water on even days (2nd, 4th, etc.) of the month. 2.  If your street address ends in an odd number (i.e. 1519 Oakhampton) you should then water on odd days (13th, 15th, etc.) of the month. This schedule will be in effect until repairs can be made to our pump system and we get some relief from our current extremely hot weather.  We are hopeful that this schedule will only be in place for about two weeks.   Another notice will be issued once we can discontinue this watering schedule. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work our way through this challenging time. Your Board of Directors
