Assessment Letter Correction
The 2026–2027 Venture Out assessment letter contains an error in the section below the new 2026–2027 HOA dues list. That section incorrectly references 2024–2025 figures instead of 2025–2026. The bottom line totals in that section remain the same for both years.

Hey Vinny!
Hey Vinny! How about an update on the water machines?Â
We generally have no idea where to go in the park and if we find one (old or new), if it is often not hooked up or not working.
Thanks, Walter-Walter Everywhere
Answer: Hey there,
Sounds like you’ve been on a bit of a scavenger hunt, and not the fun kind.
Here’s the straight answer. New water machines are already on order and expected in about two weeks. Once they’re in and set up, you won’t have to guess which ones are working and which ones aren’t.
In the meantime, if a machine looks down or not hooked up, best to assume it’s out of service and try another location.
Hang tight, this one’s getting cleaned up.
Hey Vinny! The solar powered streetlights were installed on my street several days ago. Any chance that lampshades could be installed on these to focus their light much more down onto the street? The light is coming out of them flat enough that it is lighting up the back topmost peak of the house one increment to the west behind mine. It’s like a perpetual glow of sunset rays. I’m glad the light out front is far enough over that my house blocks much of it from coming into my patio. It’s quite intense.
Sincerely, B.RightÂ
Answer: Sorry to hear that, friend! Those lights are already running at their lowest setting, so there’s no room to turn them down any further. Shoot over your address and we’ll come take a look. If it can be nudged back toward the street, we’ll get it pointed where it belongs.
Hey Vinny! Yo-BEEP-BEEP–has anyone seen those very nasty accidents at intersections with red light runners, or speeders, or texting while driving, or not being concerned regarding a fellow driver or rider!! It’s crazy out there! So IF, that bothers you, and you have that churning in your stomach! Apply the principal in YOUR OWN park at VO! It only takes a second, a lack of focus, being in a hurry! Please respect your fellow bike rider, golf cart operator, and passenger vehicle. AND THE RULES OF THE ROAD! SPEED LIMIT- STOP SIGNS, they are there for a reason!! SAFETY!!! FOR ALL!!!
Sincerely, Shlow Itdown
Answer: Yeah… seen it. Out on the road, one bad second is all it takes.
Same rules apply inside the park, maybe even more so. Slower streets don’t mean safer if folks get careless. Stop signs still mean stop. Speed limits aren’t suggestions. And that phone can wait.
You don’t need a siren or a headline to remind you what matters. Just a little patience and a little attention goes a long way.
Look out for the other guy. That’s how everyone gets home in one piece.
Hey Vinny! It has always been our understanding that the lot owner is to park on their own driveway and not in the street. We have to put up with 2 vehicles and several golf carts at the same time. Seems to me that one using their unit for a business should make different arrangements.
Sincerely, Jammed Up
Answer: Hey there,
When it starts feeling like a parking lot instead of a neighborhood, folks notice.
The line’s already drawn in the CC&Rs (section 3.11. No Commercial Usage of Lots). Lots are for residential and recreational use, plain and simple. If something starts bringing in extra traffic or activity that takes away from that, it’s not in line with how this place is meant to run.
Running a business out of a lot that’s adding vehicles, carts, and traffic into the mix falls into that category.
If you’re seeing it consistently, best move is to report it so it can be reviewed against the CC&Rs and handled the right way.
Hey Vinny! Thank you for the weekly communications that you’re sending! Even though I had feedback on some of the miscellaneous items which haven’t been communicated over the last year, I will say that the Social Activity group and you are doing a really good job at share information timely. Thank you!
Answer: Much appreciated, pardner! Means a lot more than you might think.
This place runs a whole lot smoother when folks take the time to read, stay in the loop, and speak up when something’s off. That’s how good information turns into a better community.
We’ll keep putting it out there. You keep staying informed. That’s a solid trade.
