Proposed Zoning Change Impacts Lyon’s Gate

Notices

Attention Lyon’s Gate: There is a proposed zoning change of the undeveloped property adjacent to Lyon’s Gate at the southwest corner of Ray Rd and Higley Rd. This proposal would change the zoning of that property from Shopping Center to Multi-Family to allow for a proposed 274 unit multi-family development. This proposed zoning change was one of the topics on this week’s Lyon’s Gate HOA podcast. You can listen to that podcast here.

There will be an online informational meeting about this proposal that Lyon’s Gate residents are encouraged to attend. This virtual meeting will be held on Monday, October 25 2021 at 6:00 PM. Residents can receive a link to that meeting by emailing vanessa.macdonald@pewandlake.com no later than 5:00 PM on the day of the meeting. We are also providing a link to the notification letter which contains more information as well as a preliminary conceptual drawing of the proposed 274 multi-family unit. You can view that letter [HERE].

HOA News Is Moving To The Resident Portal

Notices

NOTICE: The migration of HOA News to the resident portal has been postponed indefinitely. Read more [HERE]

Hello Lyon’s Gate and Happy New Year! Now that Brown Community Management is firmly in place here at Lyon’s Gate, future HOA News posts that would previously have been posted here, will now be posted on the Lyon’s Gate Resident Portal only. During the transition to Brown Management, information to residents has been conveyed by both the new Resident Portal (which includes email notifications) and here, via HOA News, resulting in duplication of emails to residents. This was done intentionally to ensure information was communicated to residents without interruption during the transition.

Now that Brown Community Management is established in Lyon’s Gate and doing such a good job of communicating with us, it’s no longer necessary to post news and event items in both locations. Moving to the Resident Portal exclusively will eliminate duplicate postings at separate locations as well as duplicate email notifications being sent to residents with each new post. It will also give us one location for reading and reviewing HOA news and events.

If you need assistance in accessing the Resident Portal, Marlen will be happy to help you. She can be reached during normal business hours via email at marlen.rasmussen@brownmanagement.com or by phone at 480-339-8832.

Important Community Updates

HOA Updates, Notices

Dear Residents,

Please find community updates and news below.

Bulk Trash

June bulk trash can be placed out between Saturday, June 20th to 5:00 AM on Monday, June 22nd. Pickup may occur any day during your collection week. All items not collected by Friday, June 26th must be removed from visibility immediately.

We continue to have a major issue with residents placing their bulk trash out too early. This creates a nuisance, health hazard, and blight on the community. A main concern is bulk trash being placed in common areas or on the side of other residents’ homes. The Town of Gilbert offers special pickup options for owners who need bulk trash removed outside of the scheduled time frame. Call Customer Service at (480) 503-6400 to arrange for a special pick up.  All special pickups must be scheduled and confirmed before they are set out for service. 

Lost & Found

Did you know the office has a lost and found? If you find something throughout the community, please turn it into the office so we can attempt to locate its owner. If you should lose an item, please check with the office to see if it has been turned in.

Community Events

Considering the current health crisis the 4th of July event has been cancelled We would still like to see how you are celebrating the 4th of July with your family! Please send us your pictures of your 4th of July gathering so we can share on our website and community newsletter! 

Violations

We are currently experiencing an excessive amount of violations for weeds throughout the community. The CC&R’s authorize the Association to correct these violations if the owner does not remedy the violation after going through the enforcement process. This is a step we would like to avoid, but the appearance and maintenance of our community is a high priority. Please help us maintain a beautiful community by doing your part. If the Association must correct the violation; costs associated for this will be assessed to the owner’s account. Please remember if you are a corner lot you are responsible for the side of your home as well. If you are not sure where your property lines end and what is your responsibility, please let me know and I can assist.
