Per request from our Residents – This year we are starting the Gutter Cleaning before the 1st of the year.

Our contractor was scheduled to start November 1st, but because of the great weather we’ve been having  the leaves were too dry and  just kept blowing away.

After the rain this last week – which made the leaves more wet – Gutter cleaning was started earlier this week in “A” Neighborhood.

So you may see the contractor cleaning your gutters in the near future.  Probably will continue into December.

 

On another note: Please be aware a cougar was spotted running from on French Prairie and then running down Miley Rd early in the morning.

Watch your pets when they are outside, especially early in the morning

 

 

 

Have a great Thanksgiving.  Charbonneau is a great place to live!!

We are all truly blessed

Jan Landis

CHOA President

If so inclined would you consider cutting and pasting the letter below to your e-mail and send it to the address at the bottom? We would so appreciate it.  I know we all have lives and commitments. So please just consider it.  By Oct 4^th, all written comments must be at the Oregon Aviation Board and their final decision to forward their recommendation will be decided on Oct 31^st in Sun River.  I know Greg Leo and I will be there. You may think, as I do, that this cynically short time period is intentional to reduce our opportunity for public comment. Let’s prove them wrong. I’ve also attached a wonderful letter from Friends of French Prairie written by Ben Williams.  I personally know everything in his letter is factual. You may find the OABs actions infuriating and biased. So do I.  The OAB is full of contradictions, sleight -of-hand, back room meetings with airport business owners, and they’re looking at a non “master plan” that violates at least six of Oregon’s Land Use Plan rules. Please read Ben’s letter and feel free to use any part of it (or all of it) for your letter.  If you would rather write your own, great.  You may use the following if you like:   Email address: aurora@aviation.state.or.us

ATTN: Aurora Master Plan 09/27/2019

 

I’m writing in total opposition to what is called the “Aurora State Airport Master Plan”.  The plan is required to address all of Oregon’s Land Use Plan.  It does not address Goal 1 Civic Participation, Goal 3 Protection of EFU land (Exclusive Farm Use), Goal 6 Pollution.  The Arora airport is the third largest polluter of all thirty state airport. This truly effects or health and safety. Goal 11 Public Services. It’s sewer and water are not connected to a utility district! Goal 12 Transportation. The plan has no consideration for surface road congestion. As if it isn’t bad enough. The plan is also required to counsel with state agencies.  I’m surprised they missed the Department of Agriculture,  The Department of Transportation, The DEQ? Really?  We also understand there are now real airport usage numbers.  So what’s wrong with getting the process right and using real numbers?  Following the rules like everyone else? Letting us in on the decision making process?  Do the master plan correctly.  Don’t hurt our quality of life, our health and our safety so that a handful of business owners can make a little more money.

Officer Sara McClurg will present information and training on how to set up a Neighborhood watch with your closest neighbors (ideally 5 residents)

When: Saturday September 21st at 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Where: Rec Hall C on Lafaeyette

Please talk with your neighbors and plan to attend as a group.

We will need to confirm who will be attending so that Sara can bring the right amount of training materials.

Please let us know in the comments if you plan to attend

I sent email reminders to all of those who committed to come.  There is room for more

[gview file=”https://choaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Neighborhood-Watch-Flyer.pdf”]

 

This will be a 90 minute presentation where you will learn how to set up a phone tree and email group to notify your neighbors of any suspicious activities.  This is a good way to get to know your neighbors better.

 

 

Request that the pools remain open longer

• Based on the weather on Monday 9/16 all pools except A pool (Boones Bend Pool) will close.
  • This decision was based on the fact that cooler temperatures during the evening hours increase the cost of heating the pools for day time use

    • Note: Pool A is located off of Boones Bend on Boones Bend RD/Street/cul-de-sac

  • Pool A (on Boones Bend Rd)was chosen to stay open until 9/27 because it has a hot tub and the most parking available

Winter use of the Springridge pool is available to all Charbonneau residents:

• • • Adult  Open Swim 6:00 am to 7:00 am
    • Water Aerobics Class information Contact Helen Heestand for class information at 503-694-2192

      • Note: Robin Shultz called and Helen Heestand states that the pool will be closed starting September 23 for several weeks due to a new roof being put on

Update on safety efforts to address speed on our roads

•  At the October Board Meeting (10/9 at 6:00 pm)  we have a representative from the City of Wilsonville who is attending our board meeting to discuss what can be done
• We encourage residents to attend so that the City can see that this is an important safety issue for our community
•  We will have more documented information at that time from the city on the traffic and speed on the two main streets in CHOA
