HOA Response

The response from the HOA regarding their irrigation and the damage, "This item of correspondence will also be placed in the Homeowner Correspondence Section on Board of Directors May 15th.Open Meeting Agenda."

They provide no information. They put it on the agenda for the meeting one month from now, not tomorrow's meeting. Effectively, it's not on the agenda. When they get to the agenda item Homeowner Correspondence they don't cover anything I submit. In the meetings, President Scott Kiefner simply tells the other board members they should read the correspondence.

This is the usual game and part of the reason I bring up issues in the Homeowner Forum portion of the meeting. They wouldn't have Homeowner Forum, but the Open Meetings Act requires it. This helps give every homeowner the opportunity to know what's happening. And every homeowner is responsible, in part, for the actions of this HOA.

That's not to say they won't discuss it privately.Note that they say, "it will also be placed in the Homeowner Correspondence Section...Open Meeting Agenda."Someone slipped with copy/paste.They will likely discuss it as a legal matter in private session, which is appropriate, but there is no reason they can't explain what is being done with this and other issues.

Damage Spreading

Water is still seeping down the slope but slowing. More damage has appeared in other places along the wall. This was avoidable if the Sky Ranch HOA took action. They have yet to even respond to communication.

HOA Water Water

This 10 second video taken Thursday night (Friday morning actually) gives an idea of the waste. The photo below, taken Saturday shows water still seeping out of the ground. Unfortunately, because it is saturated the water is moving underground downhill towards our home. It may run tonight.

HOA does not reply or even acknowledge receipt of email. No reply to phone call.

Morning After 4-12-2019

Another 8 hours of irrigation leaves water standing against a wall, and who knows what at the foundation of the house.

Another Night of Irrigation Damage 4-11-2019

The irrigation started at 8:05 pm and based on past experience will run all night long. The ground is saturated, so the water is moving down the hill towards the house. The stucco on the left is water damaged from the water it is wicking from the ground. The wet ground is also visible. The larger concern is the house. How much water has reached the foundation? As we returned from the walk the water was reaching the other end of the block (see the video).

HOA Missing In Action

I spent 2.5 hours outside since 7am. No sign of the landscape company. No communication from the HOA, not even a reply to email. I'll post photos later.

Irrigation Water Damage

The hillside is so saturated by the relentless HOA irrigation that the water continues the seep out and run down the street.  It is also moving downhill towards our home and has already damaged a landscape wall.  The foundation of our home is only a few feet away.  I'm taking time away from work to get better photos.  We're going to try to get the City to put a stop to this.

Irrigation Marathon Again

Heavy irrigation running again for hours.  It started about 9 pm on Tuesday and is still running at 1 am.  The ditch was cleaned out a bit so there isn’t t deep water with leaves rolling in it for photos like before, but the ripples in the water running down the street give you an idea.

Update:  It ran until 5:30 am.

HOA Irrigation

Irrigation has been running for hours Saturday night into Sunday on the lower slope.  The water is hitting the tree tops.  Still nothing on the upper slope that has gone to weeds.

"Smart" sprinklers running in the rain

This is the same location as posted previously. Irrigation in many places in the community is deeply flawed.
