Coyote Sightings in Area

Please be advised that the Colorado Parks & Wildlife team has placed signage in the community alerting residents to coyote sightings in our community.

Colorado is coyote country and there is a lot of information available to residents about the best ways to protect your safety – including being aware of your surroundings, and keeping pets on a leash.

Please take a moment to review the state’s Parks & Wildlife page for more – including flyers you can print and share with your children and family members. https://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/LivingwithWildlifeCoyote.aspx

Thank you!

There is scheduled resurfacing of both the Stonegate North Villages Metropolitan District tennis courts and our new basketball court beginning tomorrow, Friday, October 8^th and extending into next week. Please make a note of the following:

Friday, October 8^th

The two tennis courts are scheduled to be resurfaced, weather permitting. The work will take approximately 5 days – allowing time for both resurfacing and for the surface to cure – so we anticipate being able to re-open the courts by Wednesday, October 13^th. 

Monday, October 11^th

The new basketball court will have its surface work started on Monday.  We estimate the court will be ready for play on Sunday, October 17^th.

Thank you for making a note of these dates and our scheduled work. While we are always at the mercy of weather, we are hopeful we can remain on schedule and have both areas back open very soon! If we experience any delays to the schedule, the district will send out an additional update.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we complete district projects!

With appreciation,
The Stonegate North Villages Board of Directors

Update: September 27, 2021

Dear Residents,

We are excited to announce that work on the adult pool and spa is continuing.

Please be advised that the parking lot for the Stonegate North Villages pool will not be accessible tomorrow — Tuesday, September 28, 2021. The parking lot will be utilized with multiple construction vehicles as work is done.

Thank you for avoiding the area, helping us ensure resident safety, and allowing our construction crews the access needed.

With appreciation,

Update: September 23, 2021

As addressed in the June newsletter, the Stonegate North Villages Metropolitan District (SNVMD) has its water and water services provided by the Stonegate Village (SVMD) Metropolitan District. The Stonegate North Villages board of directors has asked that residents be notified that we have met our water allocation for the season for the common tract landscaping areas highlighted in pink on the attached map.

Notification was made from Stonegate Village to Stonegate North Village that the allocation has been met for one irrigation water tap – and that Stonegate Village has authorized the water be turned off. The other two irrigation water taps for Stonegate North Villages continue to be under the usage calculation provided by Stonegate Village. This is the first year that the Stonegate Village has placed irrigation water usage limitations and our board members are working to see if there is a solution to having met the allotment. To that end, our landscape contractor, Brightview, has sent a written request to the Stonegate Village board of directors requesting reconsideration of the decision to turn off the one tap – and requesting that irrigation usage be looked at cumulatively across all three taps.

Please note that since this is the first year of being placed under water usage limitations, we are hopeful that the solution proposed will be considered and implemented by the adjacent district. That said, we wanted to inform residents about the possibility of these areas going dormant earlier than the others. We will continue to be diligent in our management of the common areas so that we can avoid any possibility of water restrictions creating a negative and long-term impact to any turf or the existing mature plants. The district may need to evaluate incurring costs, including to hand water trees, to ensure we are avoiding issues – and meeting our installation agreements and warranties on trees and plantings.

Thank you for your understanding and patience – and please know we will continue to provide updates on water usage, landscaping, and other district matters on the website, in eNews and in the monthly newsletter.

Thank you!
