Secondary Article Heading Calabasas Village HOME OWNERS Association MARCH 2013 Cathey Sinai, Editor PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Perhaps based upon my speed of leaving the house when I sense my wife has household chores for me to do I qualify to bat lead- off for Phyllis while she takes a well deserved sabbatical from doing her monthly “President’s Message” for the Chatter. I have to assume most of the people reading this are a HOA member which means to me that they are good neighbors willing to work together to make living in Calabasas Village better for all. The HOA is the unified direct voice to the park owners as well as a direct line to the Calabasas City Council. The HOA builds community by sponsoring events such as bingo, potlucks, movie nights, barbecues, and activities for children. The HOA also acts as a watch dog. The HOA is CVERT which will never be fully appreciated until there is a need. Summed up HOA members are community. However, it must be stressed that community can also be used to define and limit certain groups from actually belonging. We tend to drift towards people we have more in common with and ignore those who don’t. Age, cultural differences and how long someone has lived in the park are some of the diversities which separate us. To strengthen HOA we need to break down these barriers and get the many new residents to join as soon as possible without an isolation adjustment period. Renters, many who pay higher fees to live here, deserve respect and many are long term members of our community. The purpose of the HOA is community, whether it is concerns about home safety, minimum space rental increases or more community activities. Park management is responsible for maintenance and settling disagreements. A broken sprinkler or a car blocking a driveway is a park management issue and not the HOA. However, a persistent problem where park management does not respond is a concern for the HOA. Park management is accessible and should be notified first (818-222-8500 or after hours 818-223-1362). The HOA is a support system for its members and like all volunteer groups the more who participate, the more of a community we become and accordingly there will be more benefits to be shared. Unfortunately, the reverse of this is also true, too, and if less is substituted for more than the benefits become frustrations and community becomes isolation. We can’t let that happen.

Daniel likes living here because his computer lives here and his computer is obviously happy because there is always a Charter truck in the park to prevent computer depression. Some people may have different opinions as to why there always seems to be a Charter van in the park; The Charter technicians have became a part of the Calabasas Village extended family and unlike coyotes and raccoons they are not interested in what’s hiding in the trash can. We decided to make our question of the month “Why is it fun to living in Calabasas Village?” Nicole responded “Playing playground”. Many of Nicole’s answers to our questions have a deeper meaning that we can’t always figure out, but this time Francesca said, “Its obvious Nicole isn’t big enough or made up at the right material to be slide”. Anahi’s light went on, “She wasn’t designed to hold a lot of sand either”. Anahi said “So playing playground means you take all the games we play up at the park and call them by one name instead of tag, freeze tag, keep away, and chase Yogi etc, etc”. Daniel added “Eliminating etc simplifies life and lessons the chance of having to spell etc on a spelling test”. Nicole’s brother, Sean said it is fun living here because of the tennis court. Maybe he envisions a tennis tournament with Tinker Bell and Selena Gomez or a giant Easter egg hunt using the tennis court where there are no impossible to find hiding places for candy. Francesca and Anahi answered the play- 3 ground and the pool since they both always include friends to play with. Daniel said it is fun living near Yogi and Yogi said it is fun living near Daniel and asked if Daniel could find out if the Charter vans were equipped with squirrel locaters. We found a driver and asked about the squirrel locator device and were told that they didn’t have one and that they often times had to repairs damages cause by squirrels chewing on wires. Yogi said that if he could get a Charter shirt with four sleeves he would be very happy to be a squirrel consultant. In this month’s CHATTERING we accomplished a lot. We figured out a Nicole riddle, helped Yogi find possible employment, gave Debbie with the Flair an opportunity to plan an Easter egg hunt or a tennis tournament and kept etc abbreviated instead of spelled. Until next month or when Sean submits his activities list for the tennis court. Contributors: Anahi & Daniel 148 Francesca 209 Sean & Nicole 203 Yogi, the dog 144 With Sadness we report the passing of Nellierose “Herbie” Presser a longtime resident of space 190. Our sympathies go out to her family and friends. Wishing a speedy and full recovery to the number of residents who have suffered minor or major medical conditions recently. We wish you all a SPEEDY and FULL RECOVERY! The CHATTER March 2013 MANAGER'S MESSAGE FOR MARCH 2013 POOL & JACUZZI - It's almost summer swim season! The pool officially is heated for swim season on April 1. Thanks for your patience and understanding during the recent jacuzzi spa upgrades. A friendly reminder to respect the park amenities at all times. Snacks may only be consumed at the tables in the balcony areas. Please make sure to turn off the jacuzzi jets, clubhouse lights and shut bathroom windows upon leaving these areas. CLUBHOUSE LIGHTS: Please remember to turn off the clubhouse lights, and lights and windows in the bathrooms or other facility room when you are finished using the amenities. Patrol has reported problems with lights being left on. A special reminder to everyone there is no smoking of any kind anywhere in the clubhouse or restrooms or in the common areas. There have been reports of the smell of various types of smoke in these areas, which is never allowed. Management will be closely monitoring the security camera footage to determine who is doing this. We ask all residents to please acquaint guests with Park policy in this regard. We appreciate everyone's help! WINDOWS IN FITNESS ROOM: When opening the windows in the Fitness Room, it is extremely important to make sure the window is unlocked prior to forcing the window open so as to not break the operating arm on the window! Thanks for your help! PARKING STICKERS AND NOTICES: These are designed with communication in mind and are a courtesy to remind residents and guests not to park on the street. The cost of towing is very high and once a vehicle is impounded, the fees are locked in and cannot be reversed. If you receive a notice for a vehicle parked in front of your home and it is not your vehicle and not your guest, please disregard as this will not affect you. We thank everyone for their understanding and cooperation. HOMES FOR SALE: Any homeowner who intends to offer their home for sale is required to submit to management at the time of listing the home or placing sign for sale the required Intent to Sell form. This form is available at the Park Office. Once this is received by management, it will initiate the home being added to the Park's Homes For Sale list, Rent to New Buyer worksheet will then be prepared, a Title 25 Resale Inspection will be completed by management, and all other documents required by management are listed on this form that will be required prior to a new lease signing. All prospective residents are required to submit a complete application package, one for each adult applying, for residency approval prior to the close of escrow and prior to the signing of a new lease. Management is allowed fifteen (15) days for review of a complete package, although, we will do everything possible to accommodate your sale by reviewing sooner if possible. If you or your agent have any questions, please 4 contact the Park office. PETS IN THE PARK - Management would like to ask for everyone's cooperation in cleaning up after their pets. Please use the doggie waste station bags to clean up. Pets must be on leash when outside their home. Please do not allow dogs to dig in the common areas of the landscape or in the Dog Park as this creates holes. Please remember to be courteous and not enter other resident's spaces with your pets. Thanks for your cooperation. PLUMBING AND YOU: Please remember it is important to keep things out of the plumbing lines that should not be going there. Dental floss, paper towels, sanitary supplies, cotton swabs, baby wipes, cooking grease, diapers, toys, or anything that is not toilet paper should never be flushed down the toilets or poured down the sinks in your home. Thanks for your help keeping our sewer lines clean and free flowing! CHARTER CABLE: A reminder that Charter will bill residents directly for personal service calls you schedule, if Charter determines the problem is not with their service or equipment. Resident service calls to your home may not be billed to the Park's master account. If you are having difficulty receiving certain channels, you may need to contact Charter direct regarding obtaining a digital controller box and pay any required fees. The Park does not supply cable boxes. From time to time, the broadcasters may change the television station line-up. If there is a Park-wide basic cable problem, the property manager will need to research the matter and will schedule a park service call directly with Charter. Any problems you may experience with your direct order services with Charter, such as additional movie channels, telephone and Internet services should be discussed with Charter directly. Park management does not have access to your personal account information with Charter. Their website is www.Charter.com Telephone customer service is 1-888-4382427 or 1-818-419-8760. Office location: 29575 Pacific Coast Hwy, Ste. P, Malibu, Calif 90265 - Hours: Mon-Sat 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm. ANNUAL HOME INSPECTIONS: The Park's annual four-sided home inspections are coming up soon in June! Home inspections are conducted both annually and upon resale as required per health and safety code. In order to preserve the beauty and safety of our community, management periodically inspects homes on a routine basis. At any time, a problem is observed, a notice may be issued to the household requesting cooperation in mitigating a problem. Please take a moment each week to take a look outside your home to see what needs to be cleaned up, disposed of, or stored out of sight. All landscape is required to be completed within forty-five (45) days of tenancy. All homes are required to have a driveway installed and two exterior lights, as well. Please pay particular attention to carport awning legs and make sure they are sturdy and secured. June inspections are almost here! (cont. on p5) The CHATTER March 2013 (Cont. from p4) SPRING CLEAN UP DUMPSTERS: The dates scheduled for the annual Spring clean-up dumpsters this year are Friday, April 5 through Sunday, April 14. There will be two green waste and one trash waste dumpsters to be located across from space #196. A friendly reminder: automobile batteries, antifreeze, oil filters, used oil products, latex paint, fluorescent light bulbs, and any flammable items or hazardous waste may not be disposed of in the dumpsters. DUMPING LARGE ITEMS AND DEBRIS: If you have large item removal needed, Waste Management will pick up four items at a cost of $35. You will need to come by the management office so that we can call Waste Management and schedule an appointment for your pickup. You will need to pay the $35 directly to the management office at that time, as we are billed on the master bill for the additional service. Park maintenance staff are not supposed to be making special pick ups of trash and large items for residents, however, we have tried to be helpful and courteous as possible to help those with hardships. We must ask all residents moving forward to please utilize the Waste Management bulk pick up service for your special clean up needs. The annual Spring clean-up dumpsters, paid for as a courtesy by the Park, provides a free means of disposing of items as well. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. STREET PARKING - Park patrol staff continue to do a great job enforcing the "no street parking" rule. We ask everyone to do their part in following these rules. Thank you for your help! COYOTES: It has been reported and observed that wild Coyotes have been seen and heard much more frequently in the Park, as of late. They have been seen during the day running through resident's spaces, around the area of the dog park and near the new landscaped walking path. Please be safe and observant of yourself, your family and pets at all times when walking in these areas. Bobcats and other wildlife also co-exist with us in the mountainous areas of the Park, so please let's all be aware and safe! We appreciate all our valued Calabasas Village Residents! Thank you for your kindness and cooperation. We are here for you!
