Pool opening 2016

As of May 10th, 2016. 1000 am.

The HOA Board of Directors hired a company two months ago to re-plaster the pool with the goal of opening it by May 21st, one week before Memorial Day weekend.

The contractor has delayed several times, putting the pool opening date in jeopardy.  They still assure us that this goal will be met.

The Board is committed to having the pool open by May 21st.

Update: May 11th, 2016. 830 pm.

The contractor has cleaned the pool and prepared it for opening. They will return after the pool closes in September and finish the work.  It is currently being filled with water.

Update: May 17th, 2016. 1130 am.

The pool is filled and the chemicals are being balanced. The pool should be open on May 21st (This Saturday!).

Update: May 19th, 2016 1215 pm

There will be a party on Sunday afternoon, rain or shine.  Burgers and drinks will be provided. See Pool party post

Watch this space for updates.

Update:COMMUNITY CLEANUP DAY April 30th, 2016

Image

More than 20 PKW residents participated in this year’s event.  The group broke up into four groups: wetlands cleanup, mailbox cleanup, picnic table assembly, and plantings.

Wetlands 

A small group of volunteers  removed trash in the wetlands area to our north.  (They were careful not to disturb any wildlife.)

Mailboxes

Tape residue, algae, dirt, and other substances were removed from the community mailboxes.

Tables

There are now two new tables at the pool and one each at the two urban parks and the great lawn gazebo.

Planting 

In cooperation with CleanWater Services, the Tualatin River Watershed Council donated 100 trees, shrubs, and plants to our HOA to be planted in the areas adjacent to the wetlands.  Our crew planted 70 of these along Johnson Creek in the Merrit Woods Natural Area.

Lunch

Lunch was served afterwards at the Clubhouse.

A special thanks to Sunrise Bagels (10902 SW Barnes Rd) for providing the sandwiches!

Original post: Help cleanup and beautify the areas surrounding our wonderful community.

We’ll break into teams and tackle several different areas such as:

Prepare ground and Plant NW Natives in selected areas of the community.

Clean Mailboxes, and TBD odd jobs within Peterkort.

Wetlands and surrounding neighborhood  trash collection.
We’ll meet at the Clubhouse at 10am for assignments and work together till noon. Lunch will be provided at the Clubhouse.
We will have basic supplies on hand such as garbage bags but please bring your own gloves if desired.
Lunch and T-shirts will be provided! To help defray the costs, please bring $5/person.

Please RSVP by April 11th so we can get a count for lunch, T-shirts, and hats. When signing up, if you have a shirt from last year, let us know! Otherwise, please indicate what size t-shirt to order or if you would prefer a baseball hat.

Ladies Luncheon

Saturday, March 12th

11:00am – 1:00pm

Champagne, Chocolate, and More

Ladies Luncheon to Welcome New Neighbors and Catch Up With Those We Know

 

There are 3 ways to contribute:

 

–  BE THERE…those who attended the event last year enjoyed good food and conversation.

–  BRING A DISH…only if you would like to. There is always enough food and drink. Getting to know our neighbors is the goal.

–  SHARE…in the planning of Spring and Summer community events.  A social COMMUNITY can accomplish much more than a Social Committee.

 

If you aren’t able to attend but are willing to help with an event, or welcome new Residents, please contact Dominica or Mandi at TMG (dominica.culver@tmgnortwest.com  ormandi.presler@tmgnorthwest.com) and your name will be passed to the Social Committee.

 

Thank you,

Disaster Preparedness Planning

Where: At our Clubhouse.

When:  Saturday, January 9th. The meeting will begin at 6:30pm and will last until about 8:30pm.

The entire Peterkort Woods community is invited to attend. A presentation will be made covering the following topics related to disaster preparedness planning, as it affects our Peterkort Woods community.

Topics:

  • Developing a plan for a disaster, talk, plan, and practice
  • Building individual survival kits (go bags), what to include in the kit for days or weeks
  • Vehicle survival kits
  • Transportation
  • First Aid Kits
  • Food supplies
  • Water
  • Sanitation
  • Tools and supplies
  • Financial preparedness
  • Important papers
  • Security

As a community, we also need to know our neighbors and how many people live in each residence to enable rescue personnel to know who might be trapped inside should a disaster strike.  We also need to learn of any special skills/disciplines and expertise represented in our community that would be of great help should a disaster strike and we become isolated from the rest of Portland (e.g. police, firefighters, medical, security, communications, mechanical, electrical, construction, etc.)  It is also important that we know of any disabilities or physical limitations that might put certain community members at risk in an emergency.  To do this, we will be handing out a questionnaire. Completed questionnaires should be forwarded to any HOA board member.  Filling out this questionnaire is voluntary.  Once the information is gathered and compiled the HOA board will publish and disseminate the information to all Peterkort Woods residence owners.

At the meeting, we will have examples of some of the survival items that will be discussed.   Also, upon arrival at the Clubhouse, each person will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win several door prizes.  Prizes include two survival backpacks each containing food, water, thermal blankets, first aid kits, etc; a windup emergency radio receiver; two LifeStraw water filters, and two sets of thermal blankets.  We will also be serving bottled water and trail mix snacks.

We look forward to seeing you all there on the 9th!

Theft in the neighborhood

There have been several thefts in PKW recently.  Most of theses have been thefts of plants and other decorations taken from the front porch or steps.  With Christmas coming soon, there will likely be an increase in delivered package thefts.

I would urge residents to take the following precautions:

  1. Leave your front porch lights on at night.
  2. Don’t leave valuables unsecured.
  3. Require a signature for all deliveries.
  4. Consider having packages delivered to a secure location such as a UPS store.
  5. Keep an eye on strangers at your neighbors’ door.
  6. Report suspicious activity to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

If you see a crime occurring now (even if it’s a minor theft) call 911.  For non-emergency police response, cal 503-629-0111.

Sunset Station and Barnes Road PUD

2 Comments

Some of you may have received a letter recently from the City of Beaverton regarding the proposed development on SW Barnes Rd. An extension for a previously approved Conditional Use-PUD application is being requested.  (see the attached documents)

Sunset Station extension notice0001

The deadline for written comments is 400pm on December 2, 2015.

UPDATE 3 FEBRUARY 2018

You may have noticed some work being done along Barnes Road. According to the Cedar Mills News, “… the work being done now is “investigational,” and might include geological reports. They (the land owners) are talking to a developer, who will share their plans when they are ready.”

For information on this project, read the article in the latest edition of Cedar Mills News

Pool etiquette

1 Comment

A small pool for 223 families presents a few challenges.  On any nice day there may be more people who wish to use the pool and barbeque area than can be comfortably accommodated.

The rules that are in place are intended to insure the health, safety, and contentment of all.  Not all situations are covered in the rules, so more rules have been proposed.  For example: should we limit hours of use by children, number of floaty toys, etc.

The HOA Board has the right to add or modify these rules, but I do not think this is the best course of action.  Homeowners need to be more responsible.  Obey the existing rules and tactfully correct others when they are in violation.  Above all, keep in mind that you are not the only person who wishes to enjoy the pool or BBQ.

So, in case you are not sure how to accomplish this, here are a few tips.

NO GLASS in the lower pool area.  This includes wine and beer bottles.

NO UNATTENDED CHILDREN under 14.  It does not matter how mature you think they are, your 10 year old cannot be left at the pool all day by herself.

NO CLIMBING THE FENCE.  If you forgot or lost your FOB, go home or wait for another homeowner to let you in.

Please keep track of your property.  If you brought it, take it home.  If it was there, leave it.  If you lost something, contact this website or TMG.  If you know who took the brand new BBQ scrubber (purchased by a homeowner for use by all), please tell them to return it.

I think we can throw out most rules and replace them with one.  Treat others as you wish to be treated.
