Association Committees
Welcome to fall, and to our patrons returning to SCOV. Many new books have been added to the Library in September, and more are on our pre-order list for October including: The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman, Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci and The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. This month our featured end caps will focus on mysterious, spine-chilling and out-of-this-world titles. On your next visit to the Library, check out one of these new adventures. Our fabulous volunteers have updated the puzzle section. Please stop by and borrow a new autumn or holiday scene.

Balance Exercises You Can Do Anywhere, Anytime These anytime, anywhere exercises will help you improve your balance. And you can do them as often as you like, as long as you have something sturdy nearby to hold onto if you become unsteady. Walk heel to toe. Position your heel just in front of the toes of the opposite foot each time you take a step. Your heel and toes should touch or almost touch. Practice standing up and sitting down without using your hands. Stand on one foot. You can do this while waiting in line at the grocery store or while brushing your teeth using the timer on your toothbrush as a reminder when to alternate feet. Special Note From the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC) Contact Lonnie Davis, AFC Coordinator, to discuss questions or problems with the AFC. AFC and Desert Oasis hours of operation are on page 2.

Architectural Review Kris Ahlstrand 510-693-5502 ARC@suncityorovalley.com Zoom meetings Second and Fourth Tue., 2 PM
Fences are our number one submittal for changes. If you are thinking about adding a fence or wall to the perimeter of your yard, you will want to start by talking to your neighbor. Establishing your property lot line is important for you, your neighbor and the Association. Locating the monument, a quarter size marker on top of the wall or a piece of rebar on the wall or in the ground will help identify who owns the wall or if it’s a party wall. If no rebar or monument is found, you need to talk with your neighbor and come to a decision as to the location of your property line. The best way of determining the lot line is to have your property surveyed. Submittals must include a neighbor’s permission for building the wall or fence. You must give length and height, and if there is a gate you must also include the dimension. All fences must be weathered brown; if you are adding on to the height of a brick or block wall, make sure your materials match and provide a sample for the ARC member who visits your home. You can find additional details in the SCOV Development Standards about how to interpret property line markers position in relation to ownership and sole or shared maintenance responsibility. Feel free to contact the ARC for additional assistance.
Artisan Center Renovation Task Force See SCOV calendar for meeting dates, time, and location
The Artisan Center Renovation Task Force (ACRTF) may meet the first and third Tuesdays of the month as needed. The SCOV website will have current meeting notices. The SCOV website (Members > Committees > ACRTF) provides the charter for the task force. The website also provides “A Discussion of the Existing and Future Facility Requirements for the Artisan Clubs of SCOV.” An informal working group comprised of representatives from each of the artisan clubs met over the winter of 2021 to research and write this discussion paper. The ACRTF is now building on the previous work and will identify and work with an architect to develop a comprehensive recommendation for the renovation of the 34-year-old Artisan Center facility.
