Community Update 4-29-20

HOA Updates

Dear Residents,  

As the weather heats up, we know many are eager to get back into community pools. The pools are currently on a mandatory shutdown by the State and once restrictions are lifted the pools will reopen.  While amenities have been closed to the community, they are still being maintained by community vendors and will be ready for immediate opening once restrictions are lifted.

 Social Events

The May 9th Movie in the Park event has been cancelled due to social distancing and health concerns.  

Project Updates

New benches and dog stations have been ordered to replace worn and deteriorating ones throughout the community. We anticipate these items being completed in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Landscape Maintenance

Please look around your yard and make sure to:

  • trim up your plants and make sure they aren’t encroaching on sidewalks
  • trim trees back from the sidewalk and trim up hanging lower branches and leaves to a height of 8 feet
  • remove the tree growth from the bottom of the trunk, also known as tree suckers 
  • and as always pull those pesky weeks and continue to apply herbicides to prevent new growth 

If you have a corner lot, please remember the side of your home is also your property. If your home has an alley, please make sure to keep your portion of landscape cleaned up as well.  

We wish everyone good health and to please reach out to Karen or me with any questions or concerns.

Temporary Suspension of Amenities

HOA President, HOA Updates

Lyon’s Gate Residents,

I wanted to communicate what is going on within your HOA to help combat the spread of COVID-19. We are monitoring the Town of Gilbert actions, along with State guidelines and recommendations. Lyon’s Gate has shut down access to the pool areas, restrooms, and will not hold meetings in the clubhouse.

We have also closed the playgrounds/tot-lots and the basketball courts, following the Town of Gilbert actions and recommendations. We will be putting a barrier up around the playgrounds (fencing was supposed to be here late last week but was delayed.) We expect this to be installed this week.

The lights on the basketball court will be turned off, and the backboards will be taken down temporarily. We have not ordered enough barrier fencing to enclose those entirely, so this is our mediation attempt. These facilities are closed indefinitely at this point.

We have also cancelled several community events, including the April 4th Easter event, and Community Yard Sale which was scheduled for March 28th.

The Town of Gilbert indicates they will keep their facilities and fields/courts closed at least through 5/10.

The HOA Board of Directors had cancelled the March board meeting. We will work on the April meeting being a remote meeting, but we have to work out the dynamics of including the homeowners to have access to the meeting. 

We understand that the children, and adults are wanting to get outside and play. We hope everyone stays safe and Lyon’s Gate is up and rolling with our usual activity as soon as possible. Thank you and as always, we are here to support and help the homeowners of Lyon’s Gate. 

Sincerely,
Bob Ferron,
President
Lyon’s Gate HOA
