Road Repair We’ve been battling a sink hole on Castle

Rock Road. The first “repair” discovered

that the ground is not stable enough for

the traffic. This discovery was followed by

the Tucson Water Department checking

the mains that run under the problem.

They found no leaks… but a pest prob-

lem that was quickly eradicated. Then a

leak detection expert was brought in. But

no leaks were found. Next on the agenda

is to reopen the street, fill with stone,

compact the soil and perhaps put con-

crete under the road. No timetable has

been set to do this work… but it can’t

wait for long.

There’s something new

on our Lakes at Castle

Rock website. It’s a real

time calendar. As activi-

ties and events are an-

nounced, they are

posted to the site. One

of the features is your ability to check to

see if the Rec Center has been reserved

on a date you might be thinking of using

it.

Check out the new calendar at :

the new Lakes Swap &

Shop Library is this Fri-

Tucson Monsoons By Jon Gibson, Complete Landscaping

Tucson’s mon-soon season is upon us, but some parts of town it might be more like “What monsoon?” That’s the nature of monsoon rains; unpredict-

able and scattered. A common misconception is if it rains, you don’t have to water your landscape plants. In some cases, that may be true, but in most cases, rainfall will not water anything sufficiently unless you are using water harvesting techniques or you have a lawn, which benefit greatly from summer rains. Plants need supplemental irrigation regardless of rainfall, but you can back off as long as humidity is up and we have lower temperatures and cloudy days. Deep water-ing is required for mature shrubs and trees regardless of rainfall amounts, as the root system is far below where rainfall can reach. Twice a month at a minimum for established desert trees during monsoon season is recommended; once a week if you want them to look their best. For non-native, higher water use plants, stick with a frequent watering schedule of twice a week. Prior to the monsoon season, Complete Landscaping, Inc. utilizes a proactive tree management program. Al-though strong storms and micro-bursts can damage any tree, we continually seek to minimize tree damage by identifying trees most likely to be severely affected by high winds. These trees are pruned to remove overly thick foliage and dead or structurally unsound branches to minimize the chance the tree will be damaged or cause damage dur-ing a storm. You can benefit from similar pre-monsoon practices in your yard. Assess your trees and have dead branches

Our thanks to Complete Landscaping and especially to Jon Gibson for this ad-vice. Complete Landscap-ing has been keeping the

common areas of the Lakes in the beautiful condi-tion which makes the neighborhood so enjoyable and our guest’s envious. Jon is a monthly contributor to your Castle Rock Times with great horticultural

removed. If the foliage in your tree is exceedingly thick and heavy, have the tree pruned. You may want to hire a Certified Arborist to do the assessment for you. Following a storm, check the status of your irrigation controller. Power outages can reset irrigation clocks and schedules, and it may not be appropriate for the weather. If your property receives a substantial amount of rain, turn off your irrigation system. Be aware of your plant material and soil moisture in order to deter-mine when the water needs to be turned on again. Overall, you may not need to water as much as you did in the drier months of May and June. Even if it does not rain, be aware of high humidity; ob-serve the condition of your plants and check the mois-ture of your soil. The best way to check soil moisture is to stick a screwdriver in the ground. If you are able to insert the screwdriver easily to approximately six inches, there is enough moisture in the soil. If you have difficulty, you may need to apply more water.

Lakes Resident Just Misses Bronze in London Our neighbor and Lakes resi-dent, Bernard Lagat just missed getting his third Olympic medal by the blink of an eye. He came in fourth, just 63/100th’s of a second behind the third place finisher and only a second and a half behind the Gold Medal winner. In a scramble in the last few hundred yards before

the finish line, he clipped the heal of another runner in a large pack of runners. Bernard was able to keep his balance, but lost precious tenths of a second re-gaining his balance. Reported by the Arizona Repub-lic Sports, Bernard said “The fourth spot is always the worst one, But I look back and say I’ve been the most blessed person in my career. It’s hard to say I’m not going to be in the Olympics again. To be in London finishing fourth, that’s not a bad thing.”


By Ed Messing, President, Bear Canyon Neighborhood Association A meeting was held on July 24. Presentations were made by by Rick Engineering's Paul Iezzi, RPM Properties Developer Rick

Sanchez, and Architect Dave Parker. The new struc-ture will replace the Shell gas station on Tanque Verde Road at Bear Canyon. Access Road: The bridge over Fahringer Wash will be free standing, not a box culvert. There will be no im-pact on the wash itself. The most likely design will be a single caisson on each side of the wash topped by a tee which will support a precast bridge approximately 24 feet long. The roadbed will be raised about two feet higher than the current grade. Eight trees (five mes-quites and three acacias) will need to be removed from the Protected Riparian Area for the access road and bridge. All of these trees are south of the 30' Scenic Corridor Setback. As per city ordinance they will be

replaced by 15 mesquites and 6 white acacias (15 gallon size) planted in the mitigation area of the property. Any other trees removed for the project will be replaced at a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio, depending on the size of the removed tree. All new trees will be irrigated until established. New Structure: The new Walgreen's building will be just under 15,000 square feet and have a unique exterior design. It will not follow the recent design style of other newer stores. There will be no lighted "bell tower" nor angled entrance such as the Walgreen's at Pantano and Speedway. The building materials will also be different from the current frame stucco model. In-stead, walls will be of standard grey block with a contrasting color stacked block. The plans include tinted, greenish-hued glass walls near the entrance with a blue banded canopy over walkways. A substantial portion of the upper walls facade will be of rusted steel. Signs and Lighting: The new store will meet all current sign and lighting requirements as stated in the various ordinances. These include adherence to Dark Skies, Scenic Corridor and Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan restrictions. No street lights will be installed along the new access road.

Walgreen’s Relocation Notes

Bicycle Traffic Laws Here in the Old Pueblo, we take pride in our biking populations. We are a very bike friendly city. In fact, accord-ing to Outside Magazine, Tucson is the number one bike town in the United States. If you are one of those peo-ple who loves to ride your bike around town, here are some of the regulations to riding within city limits. It’s unlawful to ride a bicycle on a sidewalk or pedestrian path unless a sign says it is permitted. Also, riding a bicycle through an underpass, when a sign is posted not to do so, is prohibited within city limits. Every person under the

age of 18, riding a bicycle as an operator or a passenger, or riding in a trailer towed by a bicycle, must wear an approved bicy-cle helmet. Please be sure to check the local and state laws and read about bicycle safety before you start riding. Bicycle safety classes are available throughout the community. Be sure to keep safe while enjoying your riding.

QUORUM A Quorum of the Board was established with 6 Directors present.

HOMEOWNER INPUT ↸ Homeowner stated that the streets look nice since the resurfacing. There was a concern about cones being left on Catalina Vista Dr. The contractor did call and apologize for leaving the items there and removed them right away. Homeowner did say that there are cracks that are visible on Rock Ridge and Suncastle. Mel stated that he will look at them and determine the plan of action. ↸ Homeowner thanked the Board for all they do and was impressed on how well the grounds look ↸ Homeowner inquired when co-ed water aerobics’ will be held.

CALL TO ORDER Meeting was called to order.

LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE Jon Gibson of Complete Landscaping noted that shrubs in large median areas are growing larger and asked at what point they should be trimmed. Board responded that sound judgment should be used (within reason) to determine the time of this action. Discussed where the employees of Complete Landscaping can use the restrooms since the locks were changed at the guard houses. The restrooms outside the recreation center can be used by the workers. Jon informed board that fertilizer and insecticide has been used on certain plants. Discussed what the procedures are and creating a check list, when doing a walk around. Once tasks are decided on an email will be generated and sent to Chris determining what items will be fixed and when. Discussed the need for trees to be trimmed on sidewalks and walking areas. Also some rocks needing to be replaced on Lighting A. Concern was brought up regarding the waterfall repair that was approved last meeting and why it has not been completed.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Changes were noted and will be made as requested. MOTION: To approve the May 21, 2012 Board of Directors meeting min-utes as amended. The motion was seconded and PASSED unanimously.

FINANCIAL REPORT Discussed income and expenses: $174,000 in a CD that is earning low interest. Concern was brought up that there is a large amount of reserves that is not being invested. Treasurer discussed the need for a system to use reserves appropriately to address depreciating assets. A determination is needed as to when an asset is costing more for repair than the actual asset itself and at what time should it be replaced rather than continuing repair. This will be discussed at the finance committee meeting.

Discussed the Aged Owner balances/Delinquency report with the board. The amount has appreciated more than expected and needs to be addressed by the board. Fixed expenses are below budget due to insurance. Utilities are on budget. Coding of invoices for ACE Hardware and Lowes is a concern due to it affecting certain GL accounts if not coded to the correct account. Cadden Management needs to have receipts of all purchases indicating what each purchase is for and to attach to the invoices.

This has generated the need to delete several codes and a new code issued to be used for all realtors. Ms. Balko will be reminding Realtors that they are not to give out their code anyone. UPS and Realtors will be given an extended time limit to 7:00 PM. The code report showed several entries by Acura systems.

Burglary Reminders We live in a great part of the world. It’s summer most of the year and many of us travel. Even with all of the fun, taking proper care of locking your house while away is a necessity. The Tucson Police Department has come up with a list of “must do” to keep your belongings safe and secure. 1. Keep all doors and windows closed and securely fastened. 2. Doors should have a dead-bolt lock with a one-inch throw and reinforced strike plate with three inch screws. All windows should have locks. Sliding glass doors should have a metal rod or piece of wood in the track, and vertical bolts to prevent lifting the door. 3. Always lock the garage door that leads into the house. Don’t rely on your automatic garage door se-curity. In addition, consider updating your automatic opener to include one with enhanced security fea-tures. Don’t get in the habit of leaving your garage ve-hicle-bay door open when you are home and only closing it at night. Thieves need just seconds to take valuables from an open garage. 4. Dog and cat doors and flaps are frequently used by burglars for gaining entry. If you must have a pet-access door, invest in one with security features, and secure it if you will be away from home for an ex-tended period. 5. Keep the perimeter of your home well lit. 6. Create the illusion that you are home through the use of timers on lights, radios, and TVs. 7. Keep shrubbery trimmed away from entrances and sidewalks. They provide concealment to burglars. 8. Never leave clues that you are traveling. Have a trusted neighbor collect the mail and newspapers. 9. Call 9-1-1 as soon as you believe something suspi-cious is happening.
