COMMUNITY CALENDAR

WHAT'S UP?

Mowing and other weekly landscape services have begun. Landscape services such as mowing, edging, weeding, trash policing will occur in the community every Wednesday and Thursday through fall.
Irrigation startup will begin the week of May 3rd and go through mid-month. Please let us know of any leaks, geysers, and other water anomalies by sending us an email at info@sterlingranchcab.com or going to our website sterlingranchcab.com.

PARK PLANNING SURVEY

Now that you have participated in the Parks Planning Discussion and you understand what it takes to develop and install a park in Sterling Ranch, it is your turn. We are inviting the Sterling Ranch homeowners to participate in our park planning survey that will be available from May 3 through May 17. This survey allows residents to tell us how they use our current parks, which parks are used most, and general ideas on what they would like to see in future park spaces. Opportunities like this do not usually occur so don't miss out!

Look for the e-mail on Monday, May 3 for your chance to participate! Results of the survey will be presented at the Community Meeting on May 26, 2021 at 6:00pm.

APPLY FOR A CHASE DRAIN

The CAB has heard from various residents over the past year regarding drainage issues due to sump pumps, downspouts, and yard runoff causing water to move over the County sidewalks and streets. While this responsibility does not fall under the CAB's purview, we are eager to help get the issue remedied. Last fall, a chase drain template was approved by Douglas County to allow homeowners to install chase drains in the sidewalks that would assist with channeling water appropriately to the gutters. The CAB has negotiated with a contractor to install the chase drains at a volume discounted rate. The cost of the chase drain installation will be the individual homeowner's responsibility. If you would like to sign up for a chase drain, please fill out the Chase Drain Program Form below. Preapproval is required prior to installing a chase drain on your lot.

BEWARE OF SNAKES!

Check out this information provided by Douglas County Outdoors about snakes you may see on the trails and sidewalks as you enjoy the outdoors!

Snakes are a common and vital part of our ecosystem. The most common large snakes you’ll find in the #dcoutdoors are prairie rattlesnakes and bullsnakes.

Rattlesnakes are venomous while bullsnakes are not -- but both can bite and cause a medical issue so it’s important to know what to do when encountering snakes.

Here are some tips:

Stay calm and give the snake plenty of space and time. Snakes do not want to bite you and only strike if they feel threatened. If given space and time they will stay calm and move on.
Do not throw rocks, sticks, or other objects to ‘encourage’ the snake to move.
Do not try to handle the snake.
Stay on the trail and keep your dogs on a leash! A snake in the grass is almost impossible to spot, a snake on the trail is easily spotted.
Leave the earbuds in the car so you can hear what is happening around you.
If you do receive a snake bite stay calm, remove any restrictive clothing or jewelry, and seek immediate medical attention.
Please note that rattlesnakes do not always rattle and bullsnakes are known to hiss and mimic rattlesnakes. What is most important are the tips above to avoid agitating the snake in the first place.
