TEMECULA CROWNE HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
November 22, 2024
 
Dear Community Members,
 
It has come to the Board’s attention that continuous posts are being made in an unofficial Association community Facebook group falsely accusing the Association’s Community Management Company (“Avalon”) and the Board of Directors of collecting thousands of dollars from the Association community to send out fake violations and adopt unnecessary policies not permitted by the CC&Rs for the purpose of inflicting financial abuse on all homeowners.   Unfortunately, these statements contain false and defamatory information and inaccurately depict the Board’s powers and duties within the CC&Rs such that it required clarification from the Association to avoid further confusion and damaging accusations.  
 
The Board of Directors has the power and duty to contract with a professional Manager (CC&Rs Article V, Section 5.2.5), approve modifications to Condominiums (CC&Rs Article V, Section 5.2.2(ii)), and enforce the Association’s governing documents to make sure that all members are equally held accountable (CC&Rs Article V, Section 5.2.6), among other duties and responsibilities. Specifically, the Board must employ a manager at a compensation established by the Board to perform such duties and services as the Board authorizes. (Bylaws Article IV, Section 4.4). Owners have the right of enjoyment to the Association Property subject to the Association’s right to establish reasonable Rule and Regulations as it deems proper for the use, occupancy and maintenance of the Properties which is inclusive of the Association’s Architectural Guidelines. (CC&Rs Article III, Section 3.1.2; Article V, Section 5.3; and Article VIII, Section 8.4). 
 
While the Board may adopt fees for architectural application submissions pursuant to Article VIII, Section 8.4, at this time, and since at least 2017, the Association has chosen not to collect such fees.  If in the future the Association decides to collect any such application fees, the funds will go directly to the Association’s operating account to help pay costs associated with that individual’s architectural application review (or other individual action) so that the general membership is not responsible for this individual’s additional costs/expenses. At no point do any fees or costs collected for the Association with the assistance of the Association’s management company go anywhere but the Association’s operating account(s).  Further, violation enforcement and policy adoption are conducted solely at the direction and oversight of the Board of Directors with assistance from Association legal counsel, when necessary.
 
We invite all members of the Association to get involved in the Association community by attending regularly scheduled Board meetings to stay up to date on the Association issues, Board initiatives, and Community projects. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Association’s contracts, policies, or financial management, or specific questions regarding the information provided herein, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Association’s Community Manager Marc Murano at [email protected].
 
Sincerely,
Board of Directors

We would like to address a matter of concern regarding the usage of e-bikes, powered vehicles, within our community parks and trails.
It has come to our attention that there has been an increase in the presence of e-bikes, powered vehicles, in these areas, despite our existing policies prohibiting their use. As a reminder, the use of e-bikes in parks and on trails is strictly prohibited for several reasons, including safety concerns and potential damage to the environment.
E-bikes, due to their higher speeds and power-assisted nature, pose a significant risk to the safety of pedestrians, other cyclists, and wildlife within our parks and trails. The increased speed and power can lead to accidents and collisions, endangering both riders and others enjoying these communal spaces.
Additionally, the delicate ecosystem of our parks and trails can be disrupted by the use of e-bikes, potentially causing erosion and damage to vegetation. Preserving the natural beauty of these areas is paramount to maintaining the quality of life within our community.
​
We are requesting all members to adhere to our existing policies regarding e-bike usage and refrain from riding them in parks and on trails. Your cooperation ensures the safety and enjoyment of all residents and visitors alike.

Also, The City, Temecula Valley Unified School District, and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, have compiled essential information about common vehicle code violations and required equipment for class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes. It's important to note that any e-bike that exceeds 28 MPH is NOT street legal. To ensure the safety of riders and pedestrians navigating our sidewalks and streets, please take the time to review this information thoroughly. 

 Dear Crowne Hill Membership,
We would like to inform you that the association is set to initiate the third phase of our tree trimming project, commencing on December 11th.
As you may know, phase one was completed in 2021 and phase two in 2022. A map of the current phase three is attached.
The primary objective of this project is to enhance the safety and aesthetics of our community by addressing any potential hazards posed by overgrown trees.  Our landscaper, Total LandCare will be working diligently to complete this phase promptly.
During this period, we ask for your cooperation and understanding. Please be cautious and exercise vigilance as you navigate through the community. Large trucks and equipment will be in operation during the project, so it is essential for everyone to be aware of their surroundings.
To ensure the safety of all residents and workers, we request that you adhere to the following guidelines:
Exercise Caution: Be mindful of your surroundings and take extra care while walking or driving in the vicinity of the tree trimming operations.
Follow Signage: Observe any posted signs or barricades indicating restricted areas. These are in place to protect you and the workers.
Keep a Safe Distance: Maintain a safe distance from the work zones and any machinery in operation.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work towards creating a safer and more visually appealing environment for our community. Your cooperation is crucial to the success of this project, and we believe that together, we can make this process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Please feel free to reach out to management at [email protected] with any questions you may have.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to the continued improvement of our community.
