In May, the Department of Natural Resources Firewise  division has granted Sudden Valley the use of a wood chipper and personnel.

Under the renewed Firewise certification yearly requirements Sudden Valley must hold a community wide event to promote fire safety. In the past, the Area Z burn qualified as our yearly event.

This year, from May 24th through May 28, there will be a chipper available for yard debris.    See ACC forms below to request tree trimming and removal.

The GM made the decision to allow the Maintenance Shop’s water line to be tapped for use at the Community Garden, as it is the most cost effective solution. SVCA staff will work with volunteer plumbers to install a water line and a meter. The GM and staff will  work with Community Garden Volunteers to develop an acceptable method for covering the cost of the water used.

Residents of Sudden Valley – a word of caution:

Many of our 55 miles of roads wind through our Valley like snakes, creating multiple blind curves.   This requires all of us to become extra alert behind the wheel - and to maintain a keen sensitivity to potential dangers.  (more…)

On Tuesday February 2, 2010, Sudden Valley received a signed Memorandum of Understanding from the US Postal Service for the installation of cluster boxes throughout the community. The SVCA can now move forward in partnership with the Post Office. This is the first step toward completion of this project that began approximately five years ago. A full update will appear in the March Views and on the Sudden Valley web site.

January 25th, at the regularly scheduled board meeting, the Sudden Valley Board of Directors approved the new recreation fee schedule.

These fees are approved annually by the board of directors to offset the expense of providing these amenities to the members and non-members.
