Please make sure you are following the guidelines for Holiday Lighting per the Design Review Guidelines.

• Holiday Lighting.
• Owners may display temporary holiday lights and/or lighted decorations (white or multi-colored bulbs) outside the Dwelling Unit provided the following criteria is met:
• Use of Holiday Lighting honors the following seasonal schedule only:
  • Halloween lighting is displayed only from October 1st through November 5th
  • Winter Holiday lighting may be displayed from November 18th until January 20th.
  • Independence Day lighting may be displayed from July 1st to July 7th.
  • Holiday Lighting displays that exceed Seventy-Five (75) percent of the Owner’s front-yard Lot area will require DRC approval prior to installation.
• Any Holiday Lighting displays that are determined to disturb the enjoyment of other Owners, create excessive light or an unreasonable amount of spectator traffic at the sole discretion of the DRC, shall be required to be removed.

Whole-house exterior LED lighting, commonly referred to as “Permanent Lighting” is a popular home improvement. These lighting systems
can provide customized multi-color options and help reduce the cost and hassle of hanging seasonal decorations. As in the case of any exterior home improvement, the installation and use of permanent lighting systems must also conform to community guidelines.

• Check out some Permanent Lighting highlights:
• Lights must be turned off by 11pm each night, timers recommended.
• Blinking and/or “chase-light” sequencing displays may not be used outside of the permitted Holiday Lighting use schedule.
• Permanent lighting fixture system installations must be concealed under the eve and match the eve color. Track systems are the most common type.
• The use of the optional multi-colored LED functions must follow the Holidays Lighting use schedule requirements. i.e. multi-colored lighting may only be used during the holiday schedule.

Last year, the expansion of Gilbert’s South Recharge Site was completed (located on the corner of Higley Road and Ocotillo Road, directly behind The Bridges at Gilbert). This facility is a key component in Gilbert’s water resource portfolio.  
Additional work is planned at the facility through the end of 2024.

 

This work will be along the southern border of the facility, including improvements to the southern berm and some isolated interior berms.

 

Use of the southern access road will be impacted during this time, however the impacted during this time, however the facility will remain open for normal use and detoured around the work area.

We know many residents surrounding the facility utilize this area for walking and wanted to provide notice of the detours that will be in place for the next 5-8 weeks.

 

As a reminder, The Bridges at Gilbert follows the Arizona State Statute for political signs. AZ33-1808
Political signs must come down no later than fifteen days after the day of the general election.
Please ensure all political signs are removed no later than November 20th.

The community mailboxes were recently repainted. Please take note that per the Design Review Guidelines "Homeowners shall not post flyers or signs of any kind on the HOA mailboxes".

 

Please kindly follow these guidelines.

This week Brightview placed seed in the designated common areas receiving overseeding this year. You will see various areas receiving water throughout the day. There will also be signs indicating the areas that overseeding took place.
Thanks for your patience while we nurture the overseed!

This is just a friendly reminder to submit for approval before painting your house. Any exterior repaint needs to be approved by the Design Review Committee even if you are repainting the existing color scheme.
There are various colors schemes to choose from when painting your house and an easy online way to submit for approval.

 

Did you know that it is illegal to post any signage on the community mailboxes? The tape damages the mailboxes in ways that are a nuance and can often be unrepairable. Please refrain from posting anything on your community mailboxes.

I want to thank you all for your patience while we transition to our new parking patrol company. Oversii, will be enforcing the current CC&R's and
parking guidelines for the Bridges. You may sign up at www.oversii.com and register your vehicles in order for us to identify where vehicles belong in the community. This can be done by clicking on the “Residents” tab via the website. This is not required and completely up to the resident to decide if they would like to register your vehicles. Many of you have called in the past to give us your vehicles and we did not have the tools to assign them to your residence. This gives you that option.
Apply for a variance at www.oversii.com, this is a temporary exception to the rules. Applying DOES NOT guarantee approval, it will be review by
the management company/the board at your community. An instance in when you will need a variance is if you have a guest parking on the street, if you are loading or unloading your RV for the 48-hour period, etc.
Please read the below newsletter for more information.
