The swimming pool committee met and requested the opportunity to provide input on another community pool. The committee suggested that ICHA look at pools at some of the newer communities in Irvine and Tustin for design ideas. Signs will be posted at the pools limiting showers to five minutes. The Los Trancos and Gabrielino pools will be heated this winter as long as the budget allows.
Victor Van Zandt presented demographics on University Hills to the HRB. 40% of the households have children age 18 or younger. The average of children per household is 2.1. The average age of the homeowner is 55. The current total population is 2,800. Victor and Jane Laning will present the proposed plans for area 10+ at the CPEC meeting later this month.
A survey for new community amenities is in the planning process. This will come to the HRB after the ICHA board has reviewed it. ICHA hopes to have the survey ready within two months.
A resident came to the HRB with complaints about outside use of the soccer field and individuals making reservations in their own names, but allowing others to use their reserved times. ICHA will audit the reservation system. Signs will be placed at points around the field saying that it is a private field for residents only. ICHA will look at having the CSO’s (Community Safety Officers) check the field on weekends. If you know someone is using the field that does not reside in University Hills, please call the campus police at 824-5223.
A complaint was received regarding a fence added without review of the HRB. The board will request the owner to move the fence behind shrubbery on his property until the hedge fills in at which time the temporary fencing will be removed.
