Mark your calendars--September 11
8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
In short—between 8 am and 10 pm. The electronic access card key will open the clubhouse gate between the hours of 8:00 am and 10:00 pm. You can’t use your card key to open the gate after 10. When you are at the clubhouse you might notice that the pool and spa lights turn off at 9:45 pm. And the motion sensor security lights are activated at that same time. This is done to remind you the area is about to close. The “street lights” in the clubhouse and parking lot area go out at 10:10. The gate automatically locks at 10:30 and you will not be able to exit at that time.
You will be locked in. Since the new higher fence has been built, it will be difficult to climb out. After 10:00 pm no one can enter the Clubhouse area using their card key. After 10:30 you can not exit using the electronic card key. So you have a grace period of 30 minutes to leave the Clubhouse.
Heating of the pool, particularly in the colder weather, is prohibitively expensive. Some winter months the gas bill for heating the pool tops $1200 and will only continue to go higher.
The Board of Directors has been working on this for a while. They realize the importance of updating the restrooms. The counter tops and faucets have been recently replaced. The restrooms now have modern recessed lights. Porcelain tile for the floor and walls has been selected and fixtures purchased but there is not yet a contract for construction.
No and no. The clubhouse is meant to be a family environment. Glass containers are too dangerous to have in a pool/spa area because of the danger of breakage.
So far there hasn't been a need to have a reservation for the tennis court in place.
· RRF Resident is 16 or 17 — 2 Guests
· RRF resident is 18 or older — 4 Guests
· No more than 4 guests per household
· RRF residents under 16 cannot bring guests to the clubhouse/pool/spa
The rules are posted at the pool area but include
When you rent the Clubhouse you only receive exclusive rights to the use of the Clubhouse for your function. You and yours guests (up to a maximum of 25) are able to use the pool, spa, basketball court, etc. The other homeowners and their guests (maximum of 4) are still entitled to use the facilities—pool, spa, basketball court, tennis court etc.
Call the police on their non-emergency number and report the problem.
If you are 14 years old or older you are allowed to bring four guests with you. If you are younger than 14 you are not allowed to bring guests and must be accompanied by a resident over the age of 14. If you plan to have more than 4 guests you should consider renting the Clubhouse for $35. This way you can have up to 25 guests and use of the chairs, tables, microwave, refrigerator, etc.
I often see the gate held open by a towel or such item. Am I allowed to open the gate and leave it propped open?
No! If your electronic card key is used to open the gate and someone enters because you propped the gate open, you could be found liable for any damage or vandalism that this person causes.

Why is there a roll of blue painters tape hanging on the refrigerator door in the Clubhouse?
The blue tape is provided to encourage people who are decorating the Clubhouse room for a party to use the blue tape instead of duct tape or scotch tape. Party decorators often forget to remove the tape they used for their decorations. Duct tape in particular leaves a hard-to-remove residue. The blue tape is easy to remove and doesn't damage the paint.
Contact Suzy Strople at AMS Realty. There is a $60 replacement fee. The old card will be de-activated and a new card activated.
There are 105 homes with six different floor plans. Each floor plan has three different elevations(exterior appearance of the model).
These homes were built by the same builder, Strathmore, one to two years prior to our homes. They have the same floor plans and elevations. They have a separate HOA called River Ridge, with their own Clubhouse and Board.
The company that manufactured the house number signs is still in business. You can buy light bulbs, plastic lens covers or a whole new sign. Their website is

Our front door handles were made by a company called Weslock. The one that was on the house originally is the Weslock Lexington 1444 series. The door handle is what is known as an interconnected lock, in which the thumb lock and the deadbolt in one unit. You can lock this door from the outside without using your key if you want to lock your door without using the deadbolt. There are many companies on the internet selling the handlesets. Here are links to a few of them:

No. Doing so may subject you to a fine levied by the HOA Board.
The original mailboxes were plain metal. Many years ago, the Board had these boxes enclosed in a stucco-coated framework to make the boxes more attractive. Over the years vandals and reckless drivers have destroyed many of the “cluster boxes” as the Post Office refers to these mail boxes. The new style mail box that the Post Office currently installs is made of fiberglass and is much more secure than the old style boxes. So far (knock on wood) the new boxes have not been broken into by thieves.
Monday is trash pickup day. Oxnard uses a 3 Cart System. The Collection Schedule helps insure we put out the correct cans for pickup.
Place carts curbside no later than 6 a.m. and put them away by 8 p.m. on your regular collection day.
If your can is still on the street on Wednesday you will be subject to a fine by the HOA.
Periodically a group composed of members of the board and committees take a tour of the community and note homes that are not in compliance with the rules and regulations. It is called the “drive-thru.” This includes but is not limited to leaving the trash can out, oil stains on the driveway, boats parked on the driveway, neglected landscaping, peeling paint, etc.
The day after trash pickup
Call 385-8060.

The annual community-wide garage sale and the Easter Egg Hunt at Connelly Park.
No, the board wasn’t interested in having a website, so the HOA info was just piggybacked onto a website developed for the golf yardage books
The homes in River Ridge Fairways derive value from a consistent design and look. By employing a group of harmonizing color schemes glaring variations that detract from appeal and value can be avoided. Any changes to the exterior appearance of your home will require the approval of the Architectural Committee. This includes things like new windows, storage sheds that can be seen from the street, driveways, walkways, pools, screen doors, paint colors, garage doors and more. All requests should be submitted to AMS Realty, attention Bob Collins. Please use the a href="architectural%20modification%20request%20form.htm">Architectural Modification Request application.
If you wish to make any change and that change is/will be visible from a neighboring property, a common area or the street, you should submit an Architectural Modification Request Form and get approval prior to beginning any work.
Yes.
Yes. Homeowners do not need to request approval to install a satellite dish on their property as long as the installation meets certain guidelines. In 1996 the FCC required HOA's to allow the installation of satellite dishes on their properties. In 1999, the FCC rules were ratified, resulting in the following general guidelines for the installation of satellite dishes in HOA's:
1. HOAs are allowed to restrict installations where there is a "legitimate safety objective."
2. HOAs may require permits when there is a historic preservation objective.
3. HOAs may impose painting requirements so long as they do not impair reception.
4. HOAs may mandate the location of dishes provided that "acceptable quality signals" can be received.
5. HOA Renters have the same rights as owners in these matters.
