Rain, Wind and Falling Trees
The fall and winter weather has not
been kind to our neighborhood. The
heavy rain in November clogged the
streets and gutters with mounds of
fallen wet leaves. The two wind
storms knocked down 10-15 trees.
Many of these trees also damaged
the sidewalk as they fell. At least one
struck a house.

Teams of neighbors helped clean up
the trees and many of the logs were
donated to a low-income heating
program.
One of the first tasks to rebuilding
the damage is to repair the
dangerous broken sidewalks. We
need to get a list of all homeowners
that need sidewalk repair to see if we
can get a “neighborhood discount”.
People have done this in the past
when replacing uplifted sidewalks.
Annual Homeowner Meeting
The Ashwood Downs Homeowners
Association will hold their annual
meeting on Tuesday, January 23rd
at 6:30pm in the party room of the
Baja Fresh on SW Scholls Ferry Rd
in the Lamb’s Thriftway shopping
center.
The agenda includes the election of
two officers (Vice President and AtLarge) and three Architectural
Control Committee members. We
will also review our 2006 financial
results, establish a budget for 2007
and vote on the 2007 annual fee.
Please attend to provide your input
on the operation of our HOA.
If you need sidewalk repair, for
whatever reason, send an email to
Fred.rouzpay@ashwooddowns.org
and we will collect the names and
addresses to determine how many
homes want to participate.
Replacing the fallen trees is another
problem. The City of Beaverton
doesn’t recommend replanting our
current tree, Raywood Ash, due to
many problems that have occurred.
The ADHOA Board will designate a
new “neighborhood tree” from the
City of Beaverton approved street
tree list for 4 foot planting areas. This
site is located at:

Home Improvement Approval
There were a number of major and
minor home improvement projects in
2006. Each of these projects that
involved remodeling, exterior
painting, shingle/ siding replacement
and construction of additions
required approval by the ADHOA
Board. This ensures that the project
will conform to the neighborhood
CC&R’s that are part of each
homeowner’s title. A copy of the
home improvement form can be
obtained on the ADHOA Web
(http://www.ashwooddowns.org) or
by contacting a member of the
Architectural Control Committee.
Board meetings to review
applications are the 2nd Wednesday
of each month.
Leaves and the City of
Beaverton
This year, falling leaves and the
heavy rains resulted in a slippery
mess on the streets of our
neighborhood. The leaves at the
curb clogged the sewer drain during
the heavy rains. The City of
Beaverton street cleaning efforts
were also blocked by the mounds of
leaves in the street.

Annual Meeting
Tuesday, January
23rd @ 6:30pm
Baja Fresh Party
Room
SW Scholls Ferry Rd @
Lamb’s Thriftway Center
Unlike the City of Portland,
Beaverton does not collect tree
leaves raked into the street. In fact, it
is a violation of Beaverton City Code
to rake leaves from your yard into
the street for collection. The
homeowner is responsible for yard
leaf cleanup. Leaf disposal can be in
either the weekly yard waste bucket
or taken to a City of Beaverton
collection point.
Food and drinks will be
available
