Gravel Parking

Per Chandler Municipal Code Article XVIII, para 35-1802 (5):

All parking areas and driveways shall have a surface of masonry, concrete or asphalt….Further clarification by the City Code Enforcement Dep’t, “parking on loose gravel is not allowed, except in very old “grandfather’d” neighborhoods. Use of closely spaced pavers are allowed providing the entire vehicle is over the pavers. (That is, it can’t be just the tires).” If you wish to install pavers, please submit an Architectural Request Form to Elan with the style of paver, dimensions, and location. Thanks for your help in this matter.

Lock Your Cars

The Police Department has informed us thieves will typically canvass a neighborhood and check for unlocked cars, and steal items from the glove box and trunk. Lock your cars if you park outside of your garage. A better idea, clean out your garage and use it for your vehicles. A great fall project as we approach our annual October community yard sale.

Side/Backyard Sheds

If you’d like to install an HOA approved garden shed, please consider a 6’ max height shed. Such sheds are available at Home Depot, or better yet, for a qualified less expensive supplier, check with Discount Sheds, 10430 E. Apache Trail, Apache Junction. Tel: 480-964-6560. They have 16 models of 6’ sheds and assemble on site for significant savings over Home Depot brands. Contact Elan for a brochure with sizes and prices.

Pizza Party

The HOA’s 5th annual Pizza Party was held at Peter Piper Pizza on June 17th, and, as always, all attendees had a great time eating pizza, socializing and staying cool. Lots of children played in the expanded game section and then enjoyed the kazoos and Bart’s “magic box” (voice phase shifter).
