Let me introduce you

to one of the

“Old Timers” in RGO

Ed and Gayle Hansen certainly aren’t old but I was amazed to learn they have lived in Rancho Glenoaks for nine years! They purchased land over seventeen years ago. Imagine how remote our community must have been back then. The Hansen’s have two beautiful daughters Krista and Alana. They live in a very nice home on Calle Fresca. Ed is an east coast transplant like myself so we had plenty to reminisce about. Ed is an electrician and Gayle is an Adaptive Physical Education teacher with a doctorate in Education who happens to work at my wife’s school in Murrieta. Small World! For those who don’t know an APE teacher works with students with physical and developmental disabilities. Gayle grew up in Poway and fell in love with Rancho Glenoaks because it reminded her of Poway when she was growing up. Ed has just started a small business/hobby growing cactus. I’m starting to think we need a RGO store for all the entrepreneurs we have in RGO.

AGM Summary

We had our annual meeting on January 12th, 2003. Thank-you to all the members who attended the meeting. Here is a brief summary of the meeting:

It was brought up at the meeting to have a volunteer clean up day to remove the items dumped in our easement areas. A big thanks to Robin Seale for volunteering a dump truck and to Larry Coco for volunteering a Bobcat for the event. We will coordinate with these folks and set a date. We plan on having a BBQ for all volunteers after the event. Please come forward and volunteer in keeping our community clean and beautiful.

We discussed the necessary updating of the CC&R’s at the meeting. We must update the CC&R’s for legal reasons but more importantly to keep the community the way the majority would like it to stay. The majority agree we should have 5 acre minimums, architectural controls and housing size minimums to enhance the beauty and VALUE of our largest investment. Luckily, we had three volunteers to help make this a reality. A big thanks to Tom Purvis, Larry Coco and Arlen Collings for taking the lead on CC&R finalization and calling owners to get the quorum necessary for passage. This is a large task and must be passed ASAP.

Thanks to Matt Sosa for volunteering as the social events coordinator. We will start a social events section in upcoming newsletters.

Here are the results of the voting at the meeting:

Tom Purvis 30, Terry Neal 30, Janis Ford 156,

Chonie Jaschek 321, Joe Kenitzer 146,

Pam Neal 146, Jim Warner 406.

Road Maintenance

To Pave or not to Pave?

The board of director’s is beginning to discuss the possibility of paving the roads in the community. This will not only be an expensive task but also a very time consuming goal to meet all the county and legal requirements. We ask the owners in our association please come forward with any and all knowledge to assist us in making this decision. Please call any of the board members with information.

AD 19-A Update

EMWD is on track to break ground for our water system this summer. The water district’s team recently visited our area to get a first hand working knowledge of the lay of the land, where the pipes would be buried and the location of the pump station and storage tank site. EMWD has a property appraiser meeting with several property owners to obtain easements for the system. EMWD predicts that their final engineering design will be completed in April 2003. Public hearings will be scheduled for June or July followed by bond funding. Requests for construction bids will go out in May or June. Award of the construction contract is targeted for July with a construction start date of August 2003.
