Why You Should Consider Earthquake Insurance
M
any people think that earthquakes are only likely to occur in California. But according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), more than 20 U.S. states have experienced measurable earthquake activity over the past three decades.
Even Most Californians Don’t Have Earthquake Insurance
DOWNTOWN
10
A majority of the world’s biggest earthquakes take place along the U.S. Pacific Coast, stretching from Southern California to Alaska. Though California has one of the highest earthquake risks in the country, only 12% of the state’s homeowners have earthquake insurance, according to the California Department of Insurance. To help encourage more Californians to purchase earthquake coverage, the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) was created in 1995. The CEA is a nonprofit, privately funded insurer created by the state’s government to help make earthquake insurance more affordable. This “mini-policy” option is available through most California insurance carriers. Supplemental Earthquake Insurance Standard homeowners, condo owners, or renters insurance policies don’t cover earthquake damage to property and personal belongings. Federal and state financial assistance after an earthquake will probably not cover all your replacement costs. Even if your neighborhood is declared a disaster area, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can only offer limited assistance through grants, and only to those who qualify. In most states, insurers offer earthquake insurance as a separate option to their standard homeowners policy for an additional premium. Premiums vary from state to state, depending on statistical and risk-assessment factors. Rates are lower in states with lower seismic activity. If you live in California, you can use CEA’s premium calculator to determine rates in your area.
Earthquake Insurance Coverage As when buying any type of insurance, purchase the coverage that works best for your budget and individual needs. Consider these factors: How much would it cost to replace your possessions? Replacement costs for major appliances and other expensive items in your home could add up to a substantial sum. Where would you live if your residence were uninhabitable for an extended period of time? If your home sustains structural damage, you might have to vacate the premises and stay in a hotel while repairs are being done. How much is your home worth? Your earthquake coverage should match the level of coverage on your homeowners insurance. A home inventory is a useful way to record your most valuable assets ahead of any loss and provide a better idea of how much coverage you might need. Keeping an accurate property inventory will help facilitate the claims process in the event you have to file a claim. A visual record of your possessions, such as a video walk-through of your home or a series of photographs, can help establish proof of ownership. Make a list of everything of value in your residence. Keep documentation of major purchases, including receipts, credit card statements, and appraisals. These documents can be scanned for digital storage or kept in a safe off-site location, such as a safe deposit box. And once you’ve created your home inventory, be sure to keep it updated. To learn more about earthquake insurance and whether it’s available in your area, contact your insurance agent.

The program compiles these results for a ranking that is compared to national averages, and it also provides a number for a body’s fitness age. This information is useful for determining a starting point and making it easier to set goals. It’s also a means of tracking your overall improvement, which boosts motivation and keeps you focused on your training. For more information or to set up your physical assessment session, please speak to any of our personal trainers.

Assessment Reminder
CC&R Spotlights
Assessments are due on the first of each month and are past due if not paid by the 30th of the month. A late fee of $25 will be posted to accounts not paid by the 30th of the month. Accounts 60 days past due will lose clubhouse and/or Canyon Nine privileges. Accounts 75 days past due will be sent to collections.
Assessment Payments Submitted Online (via
Paylease) Did you know you can pay your monthly assessments online from the FirstService Residential website? Please be aware that payments submitted online go through a third party payment processing company called Paylease. Payments submitted through Paylease will, and typically do, take up to three business days to be credited to your assessment account. Please keep this information in mind for last minute assessment payments as payments received after the 30th are subject to a $25 late fee. Paylease does charge a fee for its service, and you can pay a larger fee to have the payment posted within one business day. If you would like information on automatic payments that are processed free of charge, please contact the Association and request a ‘surepay’ application. You may also submit payments to the SOA office via check or money order only.
Landscaping for Summer By now you should have your irrigation system running and the landscaping on your property will be greening up nicely. If you have a fire pit in your landscaping, please take special care to trim any nearby shrubs or tree branches before putting the fire pit into use. If you have not turned on your irrigation system, please do so as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your landscaping. With our last dry winter, attention will be needed for weeds in the community earlier than in previous years. The Association will routinely inspect for landscaping compliance within the standards of the community but if you have any concerns regarding a property, please feel free to contact the Association. Be aware that if violation proceedings have already been started on a property, the Association cannot share any information regarding that violation. It is considered confidential under Nevada Law. For any new home purchases, the CC&R’s require that rear yard landscaping be installed within six months of your purchase date. Written approval must be granted by the Association for your rear yard landscaping plan prior to installation.

Errant Golf Balls - CC&R’s Article VII, Section 3
No easement exists on the residential lots or the association Common Areas for the retrieval of errant golf balls. These are in fact private property, and golfers have no right to trespass for any reason. The Association is not responsible for any damage caused by golf balls. All owners should have insurance covering all risks to persons or property on their lot caused by errant golf balls.
Garage Use - CC&R Article IV Section 18
Garage doors shall be closed at all times except when entering or exiting the garage or cleaning the garage. Garages shall not be converted to living space or used exclusively for storage.
Landscaping/Parkways/Sidewalks -
CC&R Article IV Section 40 Each Lot Owner is responsible to properly and attractively landscape his/her Lot pursuant to approved landscape plans. Each Lot Owner must establish and maintain landscaping on his/her Lot to the applicable fire protection districts requirements for minimum defensible space, and all such landscaping shall be continually maintained. Sidewalks located on Lots shall be maintained and repaired by Lot Owners, including snow and ice removal. For Lots which have a parkway strip located on the Lot between the sidewalk and the street curb, the parkway shall be landscaped and irrigated by the Lot Owner.
Compliance Information To report a non-compliance, please email or call Stephanie Viau at soaadmin@mysomersett.com or 787-4500 x310. Please note that while we do investigate and document each complaint received, we cannot disclose the status of anyone’s account. Should a homeowner not respond to or correct a violation, he or she will be summoned to a hearing and could be suspended from the Club and assessed fines. At this time the Association has a policy not to enter a property unless it is bank owned, and then only to repair front yard landscaping. SEE MEETING SCHEDULE ON PAGE 20
Joe and Judy Fadrowsky
H
e describes himself as persistent, analytical and logical, balanced with a good measure of common sense. Most people would agree with those adjectives as well as devoted, determined, and thoughtful. By trade, Joe is an accomplished real estate businessman who also happens to be a CPA and attorney. He has spent 40 years in real estate, serving on many association boards as an owner and as a developer, so he has a thorough knowledge in the workings of home owner associations. Not too surprisingly, he selected Somersett because he believes it is a “very well done master planned community.” When you ask him why, he doesn’t hesitate in responding, “It has an excellent variety of housing choices; it has a retirement community with lots of indoor and outdoor amenities & activities; it has great views and an open feel with the golf courses and natural hillside open spaces weaving through the expansive community; it has several restaurants within the community and a wide variety association programs & activities for both adults and children.” Best yet, it is close to family and within driving distance to the grandkids in Salt Lake City. When one talks with Joe about his life, he is rather systematic in his answers. But he immediately brightens when he talks about meeting his wife, Judy, 47 years ago.
Joe was attending the University of Hawaii at the time and Judy was passing through Hawaii with a girlfriend on their way around the world. She was working as a nurse as she traveled. Her trip was interrupted when she met Joe in Waikiki, fell in love and married him all in a span of 5 months. Joe and Judy made Hawaii their home. Joe says Judy “grounds him in all things.” Both served in the Air Force Reserve and Hawaii Air National Guard and both are retired Lieutenant Colonels. They have 3 children and now enjoy spoiling 2 grandchildren. Before moving to Somersett in January 2010, Joe lived in Hawaii for over 45 years, receiving his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Hawaii. And, oh yes, having just returned from 2 weeks in Australia & New Zealand, Judy and Joe are still trying to complete that trip around the world – just not all at once. So why add SOA responsibilities to an already active life? Joe is devoted to the community and wants to use his extensive home owner association experience to insure that the SOA serves its owner-members as effectively as possible. He is also interested in fostering more cooperative relationships between the master association and the sub-associations around Somersett. He is very concerned with effectively managing the landscaping and water usage within the community. Dedicated to maintaining high standards for the appearance of our beautiful neighborhood, he is an advocate of fair and uniform CC&R enforcement. As treasurer, Joe was instrumental in completing the loan for the purchase of the golf course land and water rights. He serves on both the SOA finance committee and strategic planning committees, and is a liaison to Sierra Canyon Association where he serves as a board member and treasurer.
