October 2008 Issues:

I was unable to attend the October 22nd board meeting; however Robert K. of the Landscape Committee was kind enough to alert me to the following article, which is scheduled to be part of the next Quarterly Newsletter put out by the Board and Jomar Association. Remember: You read it here first!

HOA Board Considering Lights for Emmett Park Courts

The Cooper Commons Board seeks to add value to the community and provide features and amenities that its residents will utilize and enjoy. The Board is contemplating adding lights to the volleyball and basketball courts in Emmett Park for approximately $6,000 to $8,000. The intent is to provide increased usage of the volleyball and basketball courts at this day park, which effectively will turn it into a night park. The lights would be time controlled.

Some residents may not be aware that La Paloma Park on Amanda is already a lighted park with a basketball court.

Please assist the Board in making an informed decision whether to install the lights at Emmett Park.

• Do you live around Emmett Park and are you concerned about an increase in noise, lights or parking after dark?

• Will you play on the courts after the lights are installed?

• Do you believe the cost is warranted?

Please send your comments to your HOA Board Members:

Larry Palmer: Larupalmer@yahoo.com
Leo Mahoney: leokaren@cox.net
Greg Chenoweth: gchenoweth1@cox.net
Justin Harris: justinv.harris@wellsfargo.com
Charles Morse: Charliemorse@cox.net


Additional information regarding the above article:

My opinion is that we don’t need to spend the money to light Emmett Park basketball and volleyball courts. La Paloma Park, which is run by the City of Chandler and located less than half a mile away, is lit until 10 p.m. Adding lights to our community-run park will increase noise, litter and community expenses. Please contact our board members via email or attend the next board meeting to express your opinion.


Attendance Apathy: The best way to keep Cooper Commons safe and prosperous is to become an active member of the community. We have 1400 homes in our community and monthly meetings are usually attended by fewer than three residents who are not already on the Board or a Committee. Please consider giving an hour of your time to attend a meeting. Remember: Without community input, the board is free to spend our HOA fees however they see fit. Board meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m.; Chandler Municipal Airport, 2380 S. Stinson Way.


Parking Issues: In accordance with the CC&Rs, vehicles are to be parked in driveways and garages. This includes all vehicles belonging to residents, tenants and guests. Parking on the cobblestone portion of cul-de-sacs is a violation of this rule. Parking in front yards is also prohibited. On-street parking is prohibited from 12 midnight to 5 a.m. Warnings and fines are issued on a regular basis. Please report parking violations to Jomar Association Services at 480-892-5222.

Barking Dogs: A reality of cul-de-sac life is the close proximity we all have to our neighbors and their pets. For those of us inconvenienced by barking dogs, the City of Chandler has a designated line for making reports. The number to call is 480-782-4130.

Halloween: I was pleased to meet many of my neighbors on Halloween night. The children enjoyed dressing up for the free candy and fun Trick-or-Treat atmosphere. I hope to see even more homes decorated for the merriment next year.
