The MCE-HOA maintains common areas in the community. This includes the bridle path, ponding basin and drainage, weed maintenance on the ditches and culverts leading out of the neighborhood, olive trees along Bullard, Highland, and Sierra, and street lights.
Mansionette Country Estates boasts 404 olive trees lining our neighborhood. These trees which line Bullard, Highland, and Sierra, are maintained by the HOA on cycle to ensure they continue to look the best. If you have any concerns about specific trees, please contact a board member so they can address the concerns.
The ditches and culverts throughout the neighborhood are important to the drainage plan of the subdivision. As part of the HOA, ditches and culverts are sprayed with herbicides to control the spread of weeds that would hinder water flow. After spraying, the ground will be tinted a color to show where the chemicals were applied. The color will dissipate overtime, especially after a rain. It is the homeowner's responsibility to trim, prune, or remove vegetation in and around the culverts, as well as clean debris, such as fall leaves, from the ditches on your property. Please maintain your ditches to allow water to flow as intended.
The HOA maintains the flood basins in the neighborhood to ensure water movement away from properties during winter months. There are two basins located along Bullard Avenue: a large one west of Sheridan Avenue and a small one west of Thompson Avenue. These basins help control flooding and drainage throughout the neighborhood, along with the privately maintained Dog Creek.
The 18 LED street lights within the subdivision are contracted with PGE to light our neighborhood and is included in the HOA budget. If you notice one of the street lights is not working properly, please contact a board member or PGE directly and provide the number located on the side of the light pole. The lights have a sensor at the top to run from dusk to dawn.
The bridle path runs through the neighborhood for equestrians and pedestrians. Properties that back up to the path may use the bridle path to access the back of their property through one of the four locked gates. If you need access to a gate, please contact an ACC member. To maintain the integrity of the path, please refrain from utilizing vehicle traffic during the rainy season when the path is muddy to minimize damage.
