We wish to inform you that the entry keypad at Birdie Drive gate is not functioning properly. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience and we apologize for any trouble this may lead to or caused over the holiday weekend.
We have immediately reached out to our gate vendor, Automated Gate Services, to address this issue. In the meantime, we recommend that all residents instruct their guests to use the Linksman entrance for the time being.
Please stay tuned for further updates and we hope to have the Birdie Drive gate operational as soon as possible.

Here’s an update from the Regular Session Board Meeting on October 23rd. We’re excited to share progress on recent projects, budget updates, and upcoming community events—read on for the highlights!
Project Updates
Here’s what’s been happening around the community:
Basketball Court: New channel drains were installed, which will help keep the court dry and safe for play, and the court was restriped.
Balata Park: Irrigation system repairs have been completed to ensure healthy landscaping and reduce water waste.
Birdie Drive: Improved, in-ground spike strips and new entry loops were installed, adding an extra layer of security at the gates. Speed bumps were also added at the exits to slow down traffic going over the spikes
Asphalt Repair & Seal Coat Project: The asphalt project continues assisting in creating smoother, safer streets. Our road improvement project is progressing well, and we appreciate everyone’s patience during the upgrades!
Lighting at Lake – The lighting around the lake is currently being worked on and should be resolved soon.
Community Engagement
The Board reviewed requests to establish the following 2 committees:
Social Events Committee: Alma Lomeli, one of our residents, proposed starting a Social Committee to bring more activities to Oak Valley II. This committee would be a great opportunity to build community spirit, and we’ll share more details as Alma finalizes her proposal for an upcoming event in 2025.
Neighborhood Watch Committee: Sergeant Lundt from Beaumont PD joined the meeting to discuss launching a Neighborhood Watch program. A Neighborhood Watch could help keep our community safe, and we’ll be reaching out soon to see if any residents are interested in leading or joining this group.
2025 Budget
The Board approved several budget adjustments for the coming year to enhance community services. These updates include more support for landscaping, increased janitorial services, and investments in safety and compliance efforts. Our goal is to keep Oak Valley II beautiful, safe, and well-maintained for everyone to enjoy!
What’s Next?
Pedestrian Gate Keypads: The Board has approved a proposal to upgrade gate fob readers to keypad access, offering residents easier entry and reducing maintenance costs significantly.
Revised Hardscape Guidelines: The Board reviewed potential guidelines for installing concrete and other hardscape features in front yards. Once reviewed, these guidelines will be available for a 28-day public comment period, so watch for details and share your input!
CC&R Amendment on RV Parking: We’re revisiting RV parking rules to align with resident needs and community standards. An Inspector of Elections will manage ballots and tabulations to ensure a fair process for any future votes.
Our next Board meeting is scheduled for December 18, 2024 at 6:00pm at the Albert Chatigny Recreation Center or via Zoom. Join us to stay updated!
Please be advised that NPG will be performing seal coat work throughout the community Monday, November 4th – Wednesday, November 20th. This work is essential for the upkeep of our streets, and while we apologize for any inconvenience, we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the project goes smoothly. Please see the attached Phasing Map for details on which phase your property is a part of and when work will be conducted. Be advised that the schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather.
SEAL & STRIP WORK SCHEDULE
*Please note, the affected areas will be closed entirely during the seal coat application. We ask residents to study this schedule carefully. Some of the work areas are quite large and you may have to walk a fairly long distance and park your vehicle outside the work area. These work areas may be closed until the following morning.
**Phase 1 – Tuesday 10/29 (RESCHEDULED TO WEDNESDAY 11/20 DUE TO WEATHER) Be advised that the intersection at Amateur Way & Gallery Lane will be CLOSED during Phase 1.
**Phase 4 – Wednesday 11/6 (RESCHEDULED TO MONDAY 12/2 DUE TO WEATHER)
To help ensure the project runs smoothly, we ask for your cooperation with the following:
Vehicle Removal: All vehicles must be removed from the work areas by 7:00 AM on the scheduled days. Any vehicles left will be towed at the owner’s expense. Vehicles parked in driveways may get dusty, so please consider moving them as well.
Turn Off Irrigation: Please turn off your irrigation systems 24 hours before the seal coating begins and leave them off until 24 hours after the streets are reopened. Water can prevent the seal from properly adhering.
Cancel Deliveries and Services: Please reschedule any deliveries or home services during the work days.
Avoid Wet Materials: The sealant is wet and can stick to shoes, cars, and other surfaces, leaving permanent marks. Please avoid entering the blocked-off areas.
Stay Alert: Be cautious near construction zones and do not cross any coned or ribboned-off sections. Anyone driving on the streets before they are reopened will be responsible for any damages.
Contact Us: If you have any questions, please contact Management at 949-450-4300.
Towed Vehicles: If your vehicle is towed, you will need to contact Family Towing in Banning at 951-807-5695.

It has come to our attention that some owners have been sharing incorrect information on social media regarding exterior home improvements. We want to clarify that no exterior improvements may be installed on your home without first receiving prior architectural approval from the Association.
Regardless of what you may read online or hear from other owners, it is essential to follow the Association’s governing documents, which mandate this approval process. Any attempt to proceed with exterior improvements without the proper approval is a violation of these guidelines and will lead to potential fines and legal action.
Why is this important? Abiding by these governing documents is critical because it helps us maintain a consistent aesthetic standard across the community, which is vital to preserving and even enhancing property values. Architectural guidelines are in place to ensure that all improvements are harmonious with the community’s design, helping protect the overall appeal and value of our properties. By listening to false information, you are potentially contributing to lowering not only your property value, but that of your neighbors as well.
Please help us maintain the integrity of our community by adhering to these requirements. If you are considering any exterior changes, contact the Association for guidance on the approval process. Thank you for your cooperation in advance!
This message is to inform you of recent developments regarding the ongoing Seal Coat Project. As part of the preparations for Phase 6, five vehicles were unfortunately towed from the streets.
If you discover your vehicle is missing, please contact Family Towing in Banning at 951-807-5695 to arrange for its retrieval.
We request that during this project, you ensure your vehicle is not parked on the street when your phase is scheduled. This will assist in the efficient execution of the project.
