Library Renovation a Disappointment

just went into the [North Valley Regional Library] at Boulder Creek [High School] and I was so disappointed. The library just went through a month’s worth of renovation... which should have been labeled “downsizing.” I never thought my local library needed the book version of liposuction. I walked into the lobby, up to the librarian’s desk and was shocked that I could see the entire back wall. Prerenovation, the only visible part of the wall was high up near the ceiling. The only way to accomplish this wallrevealing feat had to be by removing 60–80 percent of the books.

When I asked a librarian to help me find books on bird watching, I was further disappointed that she struggled to locate the books, that no map of the new configuration existed, and that when she did locate the section, there were only four relevant books on the shelf. I find myself missing Dewey Decimal like a long, lost lover. What a shame.

The results are in: According to a statewide assessment, more students that attended prekindergarten at KinderCa KinderCare tested fully ready for kindergarten than their non-KinderCare classmates.* pe A higher percentage of KinderCare children ranked as top performers in Language/Literacy (14% more), Mathematical Thinking (18% more), and Scientific Thinking (11% more). With a curriculum that targets what children need to succeed in school and beyond, you’ll see how it all adds up to one amazing child — yours. A 2010 Johns Hopkins University study indicated kindergarteners who were “fully ready” for school showed higher achievement on the 3rd grade Maryland School Assessment (MSA).

*Percentages reflect children who attended a full-time prekindergarten program at KinderCare learning centers for more than a year who went to kindergarten in Maryland. More children attending KinderCare learning centers in Maryland tested fully ready than their non-KinderCare classmates. Children who attended KinderCare learning centers less than full-time and less than a year still tested fully ready at a higher rate than their non-KinderCare classmates in Maryland.

AIMS Are In… And On Their Way Out By Karen Goveia kgoveia@anthemnews.com

he 2013 AIMS results are in just in time for the new school year. Adams Traditional Academy topped the chart among schools in our area, with remarkable gains in writing and math. Gavilan Peak and Boulder Creek posted improvements in all subject areas—math, reading, writing and science. But after the 2013-2014 school year, the pencil and paper exam will be

erased by the state. Arizona has joined a consortium of 20 states that will administer a national exam starting in the 2014-2015 school year. The new assessments will be developed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, and will reflect the Common Core Standards Initiative. The more rigorous academic standards have been adopted by 45 states and Washington, D.C. io

HOA Violations HOAs are using satellite imagery to peek at By Amanda Niemerg aniemerg@anthemnews.com mcassessor.maricopa.gov

ere’s something you probably didn’t know: Anthem Parkside Community Association uses satellite and aerial imagery from the Maricopa County Tax Assessor’s website and Google Earth to check your backyard for non-compliance issues. But before you start crying “big brother!” ―know they’re not necessarily monitoring your yard. With 7,000 homes in Parkside, Annette McCarthy, community manager of Anthem Parkside, said her office doesn’t surf websites all day looking for compliance issues, although she said she knows of smaller communities that do exactly that. “We use those sites when we receive complaints about violations we can see, but we don’t micromanage everyone’s backyard,” said McCarthy. Of course, no one is doing a satellite-assisted weed check in your backyard. Compliance agents are checking against such complaints as above-ground pools or structures too close to walls. A formal complaint, including the name of the complainant, must be submitted for violations the HOA cannot easily verify, such as a

That’s all Parkside compliance needs to launch Google Earth or the tax assessor’s site to take a peek. That’s just what happened to Donny Fiant. Fiant was issued a violation for his above-ground pool, he said, after an anonymous complaint spurred the HOA to check satellite imagery on the county assessor’s website. Fiant cried foul, claiming the issuance of the violation was illegal as satellite imagery is inconclusive. “There was no way the HOA could definitively know if the image was current or what exactly was in the image,” said Fiant.

Is it Legal? According to Kimberly Garde of the Garde Law Firm, it’s kind of a moot point. Anthem Parkside agents don’t have to use satellite images to peer into your backyard. Governing

What the Governing Documents Say “10-7 Easement to Inspect and Right to Correct Declarant reserves for itself and others it may designate the right, but not the obligation, to inspect, monitor, test, redesign, and correct any structure, improvement, or condition which may exist on any portion of Anthem Parkside, including lots, and a perpetual nonexclusive easement of access throughout Anthem Parkside to the extent reasonably necessary to exercise such right. Except in an emergency, entry onto a lot shall be only after reasonable notice to the owner and no entry into a dwelling shall be permitted without the consent of the owner. The person exercising such easement shall promptly repair, at such person’s own expense, any damage resulting from such exercise.” SOURCE: Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Anthem Parkside (CC&Rs)

IN&OUT

documents give HOA agents the right to inspect your yard as long as they give you adequate notice. So, why didn’t Parkside agents just notify Fiant, and head on over to check his yard? McCarthy said a backyard inspection just won’t happen under her watch, without permission. “We do have an easement to go into the yards and, as long as I work here, we will never, ever go into the backyard without permission. We want to respect people’s privacy.” So, verifying a violation can become tricky business. The assessor’s site warns

it does not guarantee the images are accurate or current. “If the association browses the assessor’s website to discover compliance issues, it still needs to verify those issues independently of the website,” Garde said. “It has to give notice unless it’s an emergency. And, they’re never entitled to enter the dwelling,” she said. Fiant ultimately ceded Parkside’s repeated requests for inspection. When agents entered the backyard, they found a small kiddie pool. io Nadine Shaalan contributed to this article.

Know Your Rights • If you receive a violation notice, you have 10 business days after the date of the notice to send a response by certified letter. • Once the association has received the certified letter, it has 10 business days to respond to the member with a written explanation of the violation with the following information unless it was provided in the first notice: 1. The provision of the community documents that has allegedly been violated. 2. The date of the violation or the date the violation was observed. 3. The first and last name of the person or persons who observed the violation. 4. The process the member must follow to contest the notice.

“I think it’s a little bit of an invasion of privacy. I was surprised to hear of it. There has to be a point where it’s too much surveillance.”

“If they have the ability to use this imagery, they can use it anytime regardless of complaints of residents. If they have the power to do it, who’s to stop them from using it any time of their choosing?”

“I’m surprised they use the imagery in the first place. How often are the images updated? …I feel focusing on violations in front yards should be enforced more vigorously. There are obvious violations that don’t seem to get fixed.”

“I think it’s fine. It’s nice that they can check those issues without coming to the house. I don’t think it’s an invasion of privacy because any one of us can look at those images.”

o one seems to know exactly how many campsites are scattered around Arizona. One estimate puts the number higher than 17,000—including some far more rustic sites. Fact is, there are some great family campgrounds within a short drive of Anthem, and the August’s desert heat makes it the perfect time to get out and discover them.

There is no shortage of online resources to help you discover that perfect camping destination. Two great sites to start your research: Camp Arizona camparizona.com The Arizona Camping Club meetup.com/arizona-campingtrips Over the years we have pitched our tent or parked our Volkswagen bus at a few spots we think are special. We highly recommend the following campgrounds…

1. Watson Lake Park Prescott Just four miles from downtown Prescott, Watson Lake is home to the Granite Dells, giving this experience a feeling of rugged isolation. Canoe and kayak rentals are available, as are hot showers, picnic tables and clean restrooms. Activities include fishing, hiking and biking. Many “at-home” amenities make this a great destination for beginning campers. Info cityofprescott.net/services/parks/parks/ THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2013 |

FENCE

A Potentially Fatal Mystery (with a really simple solution…) By Chris Prickett cprickett@anthemnews.com

moke detectors and CO2 alarms have lifespans. Not the batteries, the actual units. And, it’s time for many of Anthem’s homeowners to replace them. Question Why do smoke and/or carbon monoxide alarms only make that obnoxious low battery chirp at 2 a.m.? Answer Like sock-eating dryers and the papal conclave, it’s one of those universal mysteries that are to be accepted and not questioned. Do you know what’s worse than a rogue smokie mocking you during sleepy time? Waking up to a fully engulfed house fire or, worse, not waking up during a fully engulfed house fire. It’s so easy to just yank those plastic sirens off the ceiling when they chirp at ungodly hours (and I know you’re doing it because I spend most of my time in other people’s houses). But you need to resist the temptation as though your life depends on it... because it really does. Just do this: 1. Replace the battery. Removing the dead battery without a fresh replacement will only make the chirping worse. Your smoke detectors are hard-wired, meaning they are powered by your electrical system. The batteries just serve as back-up power—great for when your power is out and you have to light a bunch

of candles… The chirping tells you the battery is dying. Tip: Write the date of replacement on the battery itself. And, replace them all at once. It’s recommended that you test the batteries monthly and replace them every six months. If you replaced the battery and it’s still chirping… 2. Clean it. Suck the spider carcasses and airborne Doritos dust out with the crevice tool of your vacuum and/or shoot some canned air into it. As a last resort... 3. Replace it. Smoke detectors have a lifespan of about 7 to 10 years. Of course, so do guinea pigs, and we all know how that goes. A new smoke detector is about $14 and eats less than your average guinea pig, so if changing the battery or cleaning it don’t work, go to the store or online and order up a few. They are very easy to replace. If the location makes it problematic, there are plenty of handyman around who can help. io Editor’s Note: According to Capt. Dave Wilson of the Daisy Mountain Fire Department, smoke alarms do tend to start chirping during the wee hours more often than during daylight… and, more often as we enter the cooler season. The reason, said Wilson, is that a weak battery can produce just enough power during the warmer hours of the day to keep the detector working. But as cooler nighttime temps set in (hitting the attic first) the chemical reaction inside the batteries slows, resulting in reduced electrical output. THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2013 |

COURTESY LENNAR HOMES

Circle Mountain Ranch 5080 B

New Neighborhood Planned North of Anthem Lennar Homes seeks city approval to rezone land for residential use. By Karen Goveia kgoveia@anthemnews.com

ennar Homes is working on a 201-home development on the west side of I-17 on a 78-acre parcel just north of the Daisy Mountain Post Office. About two dozen residents attended an open house Thursday, July 25, at the Hampton Inn to hear more about the builder’s preliminary plans. Neighbors were notified of the open house by a letter from Lennar’s attorneys. The homes would be one- and twostory, single-family homes ranging from 2,000-3,500 square feet, and priced between $250,000-$400,000. But before it can build, Lennar needs

the City of Phoenix to approve its application to rezone the land for residential use. Approval could take up to eight months, according to Todd Skoro, land acquisition manager for Lennar. And, he said, it could take another eight months for the engineering process. So, it could be up to two years before construction begins. Like Anthem’s west side, homes would have a Phoenix mailing address and would be served by the City of Phoenix for water, sewer and garbage, Skoro, said.

Anthem access was a question posed repeatedly during the open house, said Skoro. “And in our public report when we make offers to sell houses, we’ll make that clear,” he said. The development would have its own HOA and its own pocket parks, with a ramada, barbecue area, tot lot, grassy space and pedestrian connections within the community, said Skoro. Lots would average around 6,000 square feet, and approximately 34 acres of the site will be reserved for drainage and for a noise buffer along I-17 that would include a sound wall. The site plan reveals two points of access to the development. Lennar plans to extend 43rd Avenue slightly to the north for entry to the community, and develop Circle Mountain Road

(a two-way road) along the southern border of the community from 43rd Avenue to connect with the frontage road. Lennar hopes to work with ADOT regarding a second connection to the frontage road at the northeast corner of the development, as well as improvements to the frontage road, making it a two-way road from Anthem Way to New River Road, said Lennar’s attorney, Stephen Earl of Earl, Curley & Lagarde, P.C. Next Steps Neighbors will have additional opportunities to weigh in on the development as Lennar continues to meet with the Phoenix Planning Commission and City Council.
