Hi all,

The summer season of Flick & Floats begins this Saturday, June 25^th!

The movie will be Sing 2 — a suggestion that came to us from Stonegate Village resident Lindsey Hadley. (Thanks, Lindsey!)

We will have light refreshments and the movie will start at dusk.

**Please note that should there be inclement weather, we will cancel, but the movie will be showing as long as we can safely gather.

To suggest family movies for our remaining two Flick & Floats — on Saturday, July 30^th and Saturday, August 27^th — you can visit: https://tinyurl.com/Flickandfloat.

Thanks for making a note of this Saturday’s event – as well as the next two.

The Stonegate North Villages Metropolitan District Board of Directors had a lengthy discussion at their meeting last week with our new landscape contractor, Rocky Mountain Custom Landscapes, regarding various sections of winter kill turf damage. As many may have noticed, the most greatly impacted areas in the District are the turf areas off of Chambers between Aventerra and Haseley Drive, and Stones Landing (Richmond Homes) turf off of Aventerra and Alzere Place and the Market Park turf area.

There are two links to CSU Extension Service that address the likely reasons behind the turf damage sustained over the winter:

 1400-13 – Mite Damage to Lawns – PlantTalk Colorado (colostate.edu)

CO-Horts: Lawn Winterkill: Lessons from 2016-’17 (csuhort.blogspot.com)

At this juncture, Rocky Mountain Custom Landscapes has provided three suggested options to address the damaged turf. Of them, cutting out all of the dead turf and resodding is the most extreme – and most expensive. The board is working to try other approaches ahead of embarking down this path. The two other approaches include dethatching the dead areas and overseeding them – as well as trying a revive product on the impacted areas. The board has elected to explore these latter two options, testing smaller sections to determine their success and finalize the best course of action.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we address this issue- and work to explore which approach offers the best resolution.

Many thanks!

Please Join Us in Celebrating This Year’s Graduates With Our Annual Senior Showcase

The Annual Senior Showcase is an event created by Stonegate North Villages, in conjunction with the HOA, that celebrates graduating seniors. Seniors from both Stonegate North Villages and Stonegate Village are invited to join in the fun.

Senior Showcase Yard Signs
To participate, simply send us the first and last name of your senior, the name of the school from which they are graduating, and a senior photo or favorite snapshot. From this, the team here will create a yard sign, celebrating the student.

Then hold the date, for Friday, May 27^th for an evening pool party!
All graduating seniors are invited to join us, at the pool, to dance, swim and celebrate from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Drinks and snacks will be provided. This is a fun opportunity to have the graduates celebrate — and enjoy the pool all to themselves ahead of the pool’s season opening the next day. The yard signs, celebrating each senior, will be on display at the pool event and everyone can take theirs home that night.

Will you help us spread the word? And get those senior submissions coming in? We thank the HOA for co-sponsoring this event with us and look forward to another great turnout this year!

The resulting case number with the sheriff’s office is: 22 0000 9636.

In addition, neighbors in the Windrift pocket neighborhood in Stonegate North Villages Metro District have reported three separate incidents, resulting in large piles of leftover, rifled through mail in the street.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the matter. If anyone is aware of information that could help investigators, please reach out to the sheriff’s non-emergency line at 303-660-7505.

In addition, here are a few tips that may be helpful in ensuring resident mail, and household information, is kept safe and secure:

Update to Resurfacing of Tennis and Basketball Courts:  Due to the weather, there has been a slight shift in the scheduled resurfacing of both the Stonegate North Villages Metropolitan District tennis courts and our new basketball court. 

Saturday, October 16^th
The two tennis courts – and the basketball court – are now scheduled to be resurfaced, weather permitting, on Saturday. The surfaces will need time to cure, but we anticipate being able to re-open both by Tuesday, October 19^th. 

Thank you for your understanding.

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
