Little Free Library

“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.” – Walt Disney

We are so excited to announce that Nellie Gail Ranch has signed up with the nonprofit organization Little Free Library. If you walk or ride bikes in neighboring communities, I’m sure you’ve seen a Little Free Library house.

Little Free Library was started in 2009 with the goal of promoting literacy and the joy of reading. Since then, 100,000 Little Free Libraries can be found all around the world. The idea is to share books and the joy of reading with your neighbors by Giving a Book, Taking a Book.

Our Nellie Gail Ranch Little Free Library is installed close to the entrance of our clubhouse. Next time you are looking for a new book to read, come on down to the clubhouse and see what new books are of interest in our Little Free Library. Bring a book that you have enjoyed and would love to share and, in turn, exchange it with a new book.

If you’re interested to learn more about Little Free Library and how this nonprofit got started, please visit www.littlefreelibrary.org

Lost and Found

Found in the park – two SUV middle row seats appear to be from a Ford Explorer or Suburban and one small set of four child’s golf clubs. Call the association office at 949-425-1477.

Proposed Adoption of Architectural Standards

Effective January 1, 2020, a new section of Civil Code Section 4751 voids provisions of an Association’s governing documents that prohibits or unreasonably restricts the construction or use of an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling unit on a lot zoned for single-family residential use.
 
At the Board Meeting of September 15, 2020, the Board approved draft guidelines to be submitted to the membership for comment as recommended by the Architectural Review Committee. The proposed Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit guidelines set forth reasonable restrictions and standards permitted under Civil Code 4751 for design, review, and approval of these types of supplemental dwellings. The attached notice of proposed adoption of Nellie Gail Ranch Architectural Standards for Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units sets forth the purpose and effect of proposed standards to supplement the Architectural Review Committee Guidelines adopted in March 2009.
 
Members have forty (40) days to submit comments regarding the proposed standards.  All comments must be submitted in writing no later than 5 p.m. Friday, November 13, 2020. The Board intends to make a decision on the proposed revisions during the Board of Directors meeting to be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at 7:30 p.m.
 
Should you wish to comment on the proposed rules, please submit your comments in writing to:
 
Nellie Gail Ranch Owners Association
Attn: Brian Mitchell, General Manager
