- Many of our trees are now overgrowing the walking paths and street for people and cars to safely navigate. Please reference the Idaho Falls Tree Trimming Ordinance Brochure Here.
- Reminder - Trees planted in mowing strip are required 1 year after construction is completed. The requirement to plant ash trees only in the mowing strip is no longer in effect since the disease issues they have had in Eastern Idaho. We simply ask that you plant trees similar to those that already exist in the neighborhood.
- If you'd like to help or would like help trimming your mowing strip trees email the HOA at cgatehoa@gmail.com
2024 Entry Improvement project!
After a few years of planning and budgeting we are pleased to have completed the entry improvement project this year. An example of neighborhood participation in the annual HOA meeting where the idea was first suggested a few years back.
- It's nearing election time again. Section 16 of our CCRs places restrictions on what yard signs may be put up. Signs related to political campaigns or specific people are not allowed. Please refer to the CCRs for more information.
- Please drive slowly and safely in the neighborhood. And please use the roundabouts properly.
- For ALL DOG & CAT OWNERS in the neighborhood. We have had more complaints then ever before about the problem of dogs and Cats pooping on peoples front yards and not being cleaned up by the pets owners. This is NOT acceptable! Please be respectful and clean up your animals mess. Thank You
