VIEW POLICY FEEDBACK NEEDED A survey will be sent to owners to seek input regarding their perspective on the protection of views and removal or trimming of trees that impact views. We hope you participate because the resulting policy could affect you.

We are blessed to live in a neighborhood with many trees. But, for some people, some of these trees are a problem; they block their views of the Tualatin Valley and the Coast range.

FROM THE BOARD ROOM

There are conflicting social values regarding trees that affect us all. The City of Portland, for example, has enacted a new ordinance which will change the requirements for removing some trees as part of an effort to preserve and enhance the urban tree canopy.

On the other hand, the FHHOA has a number of policies that are designed to protect scenic views, unobstructed by neighbors’ trees. The interaction of these values could have real costs for Forest Height’s residents.

but with the condition that they had to be kept appropriately trimmed. While trimming may be possible with some deciduous trees, many evergreens are difficult or inappropriate to trim. Other trees may have been approved without any maintenance requirements other than the general CC&R requirement that each owner “keep all shrubs, trees, grass and plantings of every kind on such Owner’s Residential Lot neatly trimmed, properly cultivated and free of trash, weeds and other unsightly material.” Many homeowners will have bought their homes with mature trees and will have no idea whether those trees were approved or maintained as approved.

The Association has authority to enforce ARC approved plans, including any requirements for trimming trees or to require the removal of unapproved trees. The Board is faced with the following choices: Should the Association retain, with some updates, the current guidelines that allow the Association to require a homeowner to remove a tree in some circumstances if that Over the last several tree is blocking the view of months, the Forest Are trees starting to block your view? another homeowner or should Heights Board has been the guidelines be rewritten to remove wrestling with crafting an appropriate policy on the maintenance of views in Forest or minimize the Association’s role in these disputes, Heights.

The resulting requirement to a significant financial burden or it could policy may affect even those homeowners who do not meaningfully reduce the value of a view property. enjoy a scenic view, either because their property interferes with another property owner’s view or because If the current guidelines are left largely intact, the Board lack of clear and consistent policies and processes could is interested in knowing the residents’ views on who should be required to pay for the removal or trimming of subject the FHHOA to legal action. a tree that blocks another property owner’s view if the This matter has arisen because some homeowners who Board requires such action.

WHAT DO YOUR DUES PAY FOR?

By Jennifer Callaghan, MBA, PCAM, AMS, CMCA, CAMP General Manager of Forest Heights Photo by Payton Widup, Fall Photo Contest 2013

In Forest Heights, our core priorities are three-fold: 1. Common Area Maintenance. The primary responsibility is to maintain the areas within the community that are owned by the Forest Heights Homeowners Association. This includes the trails, parks, formal landscaped areas at our entrances, private streets, and native areas.

1. Architectural Control & Compliance. This other key responsibility helps ensure that privately owned properties meet a standard that exceeds those enforced by the City of Portland.

1. Transportation for commuters. Per our governing Future Insurance Repairs, , $11.76 Special $55.92 Projects, Admin, $4.05 $83.91

Shuttle, $84.58

documents, the Forest Heights Homeowners Association is required to provide transportation services to commuters during peak rush-hour times.

To illustrate this further, please see the pie chart on this page that details the allocation of your $594 per year assessment.

As you can see, over half of your assessment provides for the maintenance and future repairs of the 220 acres of property owned by the association. 14% is for our shuttle, and 9% is attributed to our ARC/Compliance function, leaving less than 25% toward administration, legally required insurance, and events (note: this is only 5% of our budget).

To keep this in perspective, it is interesting to note that two of our neighboring communities that do not offer transportation or have significant common areas to maintain pay $546/$554 respectively.

If you have any questions about this topic or to offer comment, please feel free to reach out to me directly at manager@fhhoa.com.

Events, $31.93 Comp/ ARC, $54.90

FROM THE MANAGERS DESK

Have you ever wondered what the purpose of Forest Heights really is? People who move to homeowners associations often believe that the HOA is a duplication of municipal services (such as policing, or plowing, etc).

However, unless the community is private (as in private streets), this is not the case. While we compliment city services, our core purpose is actually much different.

Check out what our crew is up to...

As we enter the fall, our maintenance crew takes advantage of the nice weather to repaint our park lamp posts. Once this work is done, they will focus on invasive removal, planting native trees and plants in our common areas, and various other maintenance items.

They do ask, however, that as you clean up your properties, please do not push leaves and debris into the streets. This tends to clog our storm drains once the rains come and can create serious flooding throughout the community.

FALL & WINTER ARE FLU SEASON KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE SYMPTOMS THIS YEAR! Over the years, flu has become almost a generic term many people use when someone is tired with a fever or has an upset stomach. However, influenza is actually a contagious disease that can infect the nose, throat and lungs. Approximately 200,000 people are hospitalized in the U.S. every year with the flu. Symptoms include:

 Fever* or feeling feverish/chills  Cough  Sore Throat  Runny or Stuffy Nose  Muscle or Body Aches  Headaches  Fatigue (Very tired) Legacy Medical Group—Forest Heights at 2127 NW Miller Road offers primary care for all ages.

COMPLIANCE

CORNER

Tree Removal Process Changed At their August 12th Board of Directors Meeting, the tree removal review process was modified. Going forward, if an owner wishes to remove a tree that is over 6 inches in diameter (measured at 6 feet above the ground), the key elements to the process are as follows:  Contact the Department of Urban Forestry (503-823-4489) to confirm or obtain the necessary City of Portland permit.*  Once City approval is obtained (if needed), submit an application to the Architectural Review Committee (with a $100 review fee), along with a plan describing what will be done with the area that the tree was in. Ideally, a proposal to replant vegetation or trees is preferred, but these will be reviewed on a case-bycase basis.  If an arborist report is included (substantiating the need for removal) or a City of Portland permit is necessary and obtained, the $100 review fee will be waived.

Please note that trees smaller than 6 inches in diameter (again, measured at 6 feet above the ground), or you are trimming a tree, no ARC approval is necessary, but City of Portland approval may still be necessary per below. As always, please feel free to contact the Forest Heights office for questions or concerns on the tree removal process. *City of Portland has special requirements for tree maintenance (including trimming) and removal on private property that are a) in the right-of-way (also known as street trees); b) in environmental protection areas, which includes many of the properties in Forest Heights; and c) those that are larger than 12 inches in diameter. This is contrary to the popular belief that trees on private property are not regulated, so please contact the Department of Urban Forestry to request a review of your proposal.

Forest Heights Mailbox Update!

As you may know, last year the Board of Directors voted and decided upon uniformity in regards to the mailboxes within Forest Heights. Since then, FHHOA has sent a total of approximately 2,331 reminder notices to over 900 homes for mailbox replacements and/or post repairs. As of the end of September, only 5% are not within compliance. A big thank you from FHHOA to those who have

helped in the effort to help keep Forest Heights the premiere community in Portland!

Clean Up Tips

time of year can be, it is a crucial time to prepare your lawn for the upcoming winter.

Utilize these tips to create beautiful and lush landscaping!

• Fall is the best time of year to sow seed for a new lawn. Make sure to overseed before the first frost to establish your new lawn.

• Resist the urge to prune after early fall. You don’t want to encourage healthy plants to grow during a cold season, as they should remain dormant.

• Make sure to remove dead or dying foliage. Clean up fallen leaves (NOT in the street or in a neighbor’s yard!).

• Fall is the best time to fertilize your lawn. A light application in early fall and again in late fall is best.

• Make sure to aerate in the fall if you didn’t have a chance to in spring. It helps your lawn thrive!

• Continue mowing even as temperatures cool.

OCTOBER • Pull annuals when they’ve finished blooming and cut back perennial weeds. (Try to get this done before rains begin).

• Prune dead branches on trees and shrubs NOVEMBER • Feel free to tuck in springflowering bulbs into your yard, as long as the soil remains workable.

DECEMBER • If a frost warning is issued, be sure to water plants before temperatures drop. If you don’t catch them in time, start to water after plants have begun to thaw.

• Spruce up those winter pots, empty gardens and flowerbeds with a few cheerful annuals.

Pansies, snapdragons, calendulas and violas will flower all winter long.

• Add a touch of cheer inside by filling a windowsill with green, potted herbs. Double win!

• This is an ideal month to plant dormant trees and shrubs (ARC approved).

MULLED CIDER… PERFECT ALL SEASON LONG! 4 to 5 cups Apple Juice 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg OPTIONAL, FOR ADULTS ONLY: 3 oz. Spiced Rum Cinnamon Sticks and Apple Slices for Garnish In a small pot heat the apple juice, spices and rum (if using) over low/medium heat. Stir often while the mixture is heating so the spices will blend into the juice (you don't want any spice clumps). Once it's hot pour into two mugs and garnish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks.

Serve warm.

This will also assist other owners by still preserving each resident/owner’s right of the enjoyment of his or her home. It is the desire of the FHHOA board of directors that each resident will adhere to these rules and policies, thereby preserving the accessibility of Mill Pond Park and open spaces for all residents/owners in a relaxed and casual environment. Thank you in advance for careful review of the following rules. Please do not hesitate to contact the Association staff should you have any questions and/or wish to discuss any of the rules.
