Community Street Project Update
Milling, Paving, Drainage Work, and Curb and Gutter Replacements
O
n Monday, May 2, 2011 at 7:00 a.m. crews began the final phases of the street preservation
maintenance project that includes the milling and paving of the Torrey Pines subdivision, Village
Greens Road, a 110 foot section in the Wimbledon West (north) alleyway, Fairfield Greens, Pala
Mesa, Seabrook Drive, the small cul-de-sac on Tanoan Drive near 9604, 9608, 9612 and 9700
Tanoan Drive, the installation of a French drain in the Torrey Pines subdivision at the intersection of
Dorado Beach and Palm Beach and curb and gutter replacements.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding during the project. We hope that you will enjoy
these improvements made in the community and recognize the investment to preserve and maintain
the capital assets of the Tanoan Community Association.
An Appeal for Help and Greater
Neighbor Participation at Meetings
We always hope for larger turnouts at our
Board meetings to hear about community
updates and get feedback on how to better
serve you. We undoubtedly have a well run
association as compared to others in the City,
with relatively modest issues to deal with which
has unfortunately contributed to some degree
of apathy, low attendance at our monthly meetings and the reluctance to volunteer.
Many current and past Board members have
donated a great deal of their personal time to
keep our community viable and responsive to
your needs. Over time, we know that some
will eventually have to take a break to devote
more of this time to work and family matters
so we are always asking new volunteers to
help. Please contact any of our Board members listed in this newsletter and let us know
what areas you are willing to give just a small
part of your time.
It is time to begin preparing for the upcoming
annual meeting scheduled for October 20,
2011. Two of the five current Board member’s
terms will be expiring this year, making it necessary to elect two new Board members in the
annual election held at the annual meeting. If
you would like to give back to your community
and help to keep the Tanoan Community
Association a great place to live, please consider running for the Board of Directors.

T
houghts of spring and summer are on my
mind as the temperatures dip AGAIN into
the thirties as I sit down to write this article.
The deep freeze of February has lost its grip
and after what seemed to be a never-ending
period of “always-winter-but-never-Christmas”,
we start to see the stirrings of something that
looks like spring. Despite the March and April
winds, daffodils, crocuses, and hyacinths
begin to peek their heads out cautiously.
TANOAN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
This by no means is an exhaustive list and you may see other
damage in your landscape. Some damage may not be evident
until later in the summer. As the temperatures increase, keep an
eye out for die back in turf areas or perennial flowering plants that
did not survive the record cold temperatures. Start increasing the
watering of your plants and lawn right now. Wait until plants start
to leaf out before you do any hard pruning. This will give you a
better idea of what actually survived.
Some of the plants may push off all the dead leaves and re-leaf.
So wait 3-4 weeks, then you can start trimming the dead out. A
hard pruning will leave plants looking a little scraggly, but they
should recover after a couple of growing seasons. However, I
would wait until the middle of June before you remove an apparently “dead” Crape Myrtle, since they are one of the last trees to
come out of dormancy. I would also wait on Vitex (Chaste Trees)
and indeed many other trees. Patience is an important virtue
when dealing with Mother Nature.
Frigid February Turns to March Madness:
Plants Suffer Freeze Damage Following
Record Lows
Unfortunately, this growing season, your landscape may not be
the idyllic paradise you want it to be. Take a good look at your
landscape and you will begin to see what the frigid temperatures
in February have wrought. Because of the very cold weather in
February (-15°F) you will notice some freeze damage to your
plants. Plants that are normally evergreen will look like they
have been blowtorched. I have looked at many landscapes in
the last few weeks and what is most confounding is that one
Indian Hawthorne may look fried, while right next to it another
may be completely unharmed. Such is the Jekyll and Hyde
nature of Jack Frost.
The following is a partial list of plants and trees that may
have been affected:
■ Photinia
■ Indian Hawthorne
■ Cherry Sage
■ Lavender
■ Agaves
■ Mexican Elders
■ Rosemary
■ Privet (ligustrum)
■ Willows
■ Crape Myrtle
■ Ornamental grasses
■ Boxwoods
■ Some Conifers
■ Palm Yuccas
■ Ash trees
■ Sycamore trees

ummer has finally arrived after the most brutally cold winter in years! Unfortunately, there has been significant plant and sod winter kill. It was especially noticeable when the grass/plants did not sprout or
turn green. Re-sodding and replanting is the only answer.
Standards for Lawns
a. Lawns will be green, reflecting adequate watering, fertilization and aeration.
B. Lawns will be mowed and trimmed on an approximate weekly basis.
C. Lawns will have minimal or no weeds. Lawns will not contain any patches of weeds.
D. Lawns will have no bare or dead spots continuing for longer than three weeks. Owners must reseed or resod any bare or
dead spots immediately.
e. Landscaped areas, including rock and flowerbeds, and vegetable gardens will be kept weed free. Dead or dying plants shall
be removed promptly and replaced as necessary.
Standards for Trees and Shrubs
Trees and shrubs/bushes will be trimmed or pruned in keeping with the general appearance of other well-maintained yards in the
neighborhood. Trees, shrubs, and bushes shall not grow over sidewalks or driveways.

TANOAN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Avoiding Conflict with the Neighbors
e all can just get along. The key? Communication. It’s often
the best way to prevent and resolve conflict before it reaches
the legal system. You don’t have to be friends or spend time
together to achieve a peaceful coexistence, but you should try to
be a good neighbor and follow these tips:
Appreciate them. If the neighbors do something you like, let them
know. They’ll be pleased you noticed, and it’ll be easier to talk
later if they do something you don’t like.
Say hello. At the mailbox, while walking the dog or when you see
a moving van arrive, introduce yourself. Learn your neighbors’
names and regularly offer a friendly greeting.
Talk honestly. Tolerance is important, but don’t let a real irritation
go because it seems unimportant or hard to discuss. Let your
neighbors know if something they do annoys.
Provide a heads up. If you’re planning a construction project,
altering your landscaping or hosting a big party, contact your
neighbors beforehand.
Be respectful. Talk directly to your neighbors if there’s a problem. Gossiping with others can damage relationships and create trouble.
Do unto others. Treat neighbors as you would like to be treated.
Be considerate about noise from vehicles, stereos, pets, etc.
Remain calm. If a neighbor mentions a problem they have with
you, thank them for the input. You don’t have to agree or justify
any behavior. Wait for any anger to subside before responding.
W
Know your differences. Make an effort to understand each
other. Differences in age, ethnic background and years in the
neighborhood can lead to different expectations or misunderstandings.
Consider the view. Keep areas of your property that others can
see presentable.
Stay positive. Most people don't try to create problems. If a neighbor
does something that irritates you, don’t assume it was deliberate.
Listen carefully. When discussing a problem, try to understand
your neighbor’s position and why he or she feels that way.
Take your time. Take a break to think about what you and
your neighbor have discussed. Arrange to finish the conversation at another time.
Grilling Safety Tips for This Summer
When firing up your grills this summer, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reminds you to
barbecue safely whether you use gas or charcoal.
T
o reduce the risk of fire or explosion, consumers should routinely perform the following safety checks:
■ Check the tubes that lead into the burner for any blockage from
insects, spiders, or food grease. Use a pipe cleaner or wire to
clear blockage and push it through to the main part of the burner.
■ Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes, and leaks.
Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose or tubing.
■ Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and
dripping hot grease. If you can't move the hoses, install a heat
shield to protect them.
■ Replace scratched or nicked connectors, which can eventually
leak gas.
■ Check for gas leaks, following the manufacturer's instructions, if
you smell gas or when you reconnect the grill to the LP gas container. If you detect a leak, immediately turn off the gas and don't
attempt to light the grill until the leak is fixed.
■ Keep lighted cigarettes, matches and open flames away from a
leaking grill.
■ Never use a grill indoors. Use the grill at least 10 feet away
from your house or any building. Do not use the grill in a garage,
breezeway, carport, porch or under a surface that can catch fire.
■ Do not attempt to repair the tank valve or the appliance yourself. See an LP gas dealer or a qualified appliance repair person.
■ Always follow the manufacturer's instructions that accompany
the grill and when connecting or disconnecting LP gas containers.
■ Consumers should use caution when storing LP gas containers.
Always keep containers upright. Never store a spare gas container under or near the grill or indoors. Never store or use flammable
liquids, like gasoline, near the grill.
To avoid accidents while transporting LP gas containers, transport the container in a secure, upright position. Never keep a
filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the
gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and
allow gas to escape.
For more information, visit the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov.
Conservation is what we do together! Water
saving thoughts lead to water saving actions!

Replacements. Next time
you add or replace a flower
or shrub, choose a low

round landscape color and
save up to 550 gallons
each year.

Recently I have received question regarding contractors, landscapers etc. working
hours and the noise because of them
working. Tanoan uses the Albuquerque
City noise regulation. Albuquerque’s noise
ordinance established 50dB (A) or 10dB
During the nighttime or between 7:00 a.m.
and 9:00 a.m. Power mowers on golf courses are exempt from these requirements.
Pet Rules Reminder
(A) above ambient as the allowable noise
at the property line. This level does not
vary by zoning or land use. This level is
defined “the sound pressure level of the all
encompassing noise associated with given
environment, being usually a composite of
sounds from many and excluding the specific noise under investigation.” Nighttime
hours are established as 10:00 p.m. to 7
a.m. During nighttime hours, any noise
that is audible within any dwelling that is
not the source of the noise is prohibited.
Other noise sources addressed in the
Albuquerque noise ordinance are: sound
amplifying equipment, drums, air conditioners, vehicle repairs and aircraft engine
As a reminder to all residents that allow
their cats to run free in the community, it
is against the rules of the City of

Trudy Jones: Thanks, Constituents, for
Helping to Keep Government Out of HOAs
T
rudy Jones looks back with pride
on her accomplishments as City
Councilor for Albuquerque’s District 8,
but she knows she couldn’t have
achieved her greatest successes
without the steadfast support of her
constituents.
“I count among my proudest achievements the recent defeat of legislation
at both the state and local level that
would have enabled government
interference in the operation of private homeowners’ associations,” she said. “I really want to thank
the citizens of District 8 for letting their voices be heard on this
issue, and sending a clear message to the City Council and to the
Legislature that they were opposed to the imposition of meddlesome government regulations.”
Jones, a recently retired real estate professional who describes
herself as “avidly pro-business,” said her opposition to the measures in question reflects her overall philosophy of government.
“One of the most important things we can do as a City Council is
to create a regulatory and tax environment that is attractive to
Environmental Facts

Recycling a 4-foot stack of newspapers saves one 40-foot
tree.
A bath uses 15 to 20 gallons of heated water, but a five-minute
shower only uses 10 gallons.
One tree can filter up to 60 pounds of pollutants from the air
every year.
Turning off your faucet while brushing your teeth saves up to
seven gallons per minute.
Making cans from recycled aluminum saves 95% of the energy compared to making cans from raw materials.
One ton of re-cycled paper saves 3,700 pounds of lumber and
24,000 gallons of water.
The low setting on an evaporative cooler consumes one-third
the energy of the high setting.
It takes 24 gallons of water to make one pound of plastic.

businesses and their employees,” she said. “We send the wrong
message when we start trying to micromanage the affairs of private enterprises like HOAs.”
That holds true for the Legislature as well, Jones said.
“House Bill 9, which died in this year’s session thanks in large
part to the outcry from my constituents, was an outrageous laundry list of needless rules and regulations governing the operations
of HOAs,” she said. “We don’t want the heavy hand of government interfering in a private homeowners’ association any more
than we want to see it meddling in the private affairs of a business, a volunteer organization, or a church.”
Standing up for the rights of businesses and private organizations
is everyone’s job, she added.
“I encourage the people of District 8 to continue their advocacy on
behalf of the values we hold dear,” she said. “If we don’t let our
voices be heard, then we invite the erosion of the free enterprise
system on which our country and our community depend for its
continued success and prosperity.”

lthough the association may sometime seem like Big Brother when you want to replace an existing roof, change the stucco color
of your home, install a satellite dish or put up a fence, the Planning Committee is essentially a benefit—not a burden. The association’s design standards are based on harmony with the overall community, consideration for neighbors, and high-quality construction
practices. The Planning Committee exists to maintain, protect, and enhance the value of your property, and it strives for a balance
between individual rights and the good of the entire community.
While association members have the biggest stake in property values, others are also very interested in seeing our community well maintained and looking its best. Home remodel companies reputations and lenders’ financial support are closely connected to the community.
Also, public officials have an interest in maintaining and enhancing the community since tax revenues depend on property values.
