The City of Anaheim has construction underway for the widening of Lincoln Ave. This project’s goals are to make the area more attractive, safer for pedestrians and drivers alike, and to alleviate traffic congestion. They will be removing the center two-way lane, adding a lane to each side of Lincoln Ave, and will create a center median with landscaping and turn pockets. However, the portion of the street immediately outside of the Turnberry community will not begin construction until approximately 2023.
For more information you can contact the City of Anaheim’s planning and building division.
The Board of Directors is looking to recruit volunteer homeowners to serve on the Association’s Architectural Committee. The position involves review of Architectural Applications submitted by owners in the community alongside other standing committee members; applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with the Association’s governing documents. Architectural review can be done remotely and in the comfort of your own home! Please contact your Community Manager, Christian Walton, at cwalton@actionlife.com for a copy of the volunteer form, or with any questions you may have regarding the position.
The Board thanks you for your attention to these matters.
The Association has a janitorial contract to weekly remove trash from the common areas. Should you notice any trash that has not been been picked up please report it to your Community Care team at CommunityCare@actionlife.com or by phone at (949) 450-0202. A Community Care Representative will open a work order and inform janitorial of the location to remove.
At the February 4th, 2021 meeting of the Board of Directors, the proposed parking procedures were adopted as presented after reviewing membership comments. You can request a copy of these parking procedures from our community care team or download them from your resident portal.
You may have noticed the delay in the tow of the abandoned vehicle in September. The reason for this was that the Board was evaluating the association’s parking policy, towing policy and available parking spaces. With that being said, at the October 8th meeting of the Board it was decided to propose changes to the parking policy of Turnberry.
While the Board was investigating with Management the parking space reassignment that resulted in the increase of handicap parking spaces, it was discovered that this was not done in accordance with the community’s procedures or state law. Therefore, the Board of Directors has decided to revert back to the developer intended number of disabled parking spaces. In addition, the Board has decided to clarify the parking procedures to avoid confusion and ensure proper and equal parking enforcement. You will be receiving these proposed changes approximately four weeks prior to the December 3rd meeting for membership comment before adoption.
Please keep an eye out for these proposed changes in the mail.

Water can be one of the most damaging elements to buildings and their improvements. Even after a major structure fire, water damage is frequently much greater and costlier to repair than the damage caused by the fire itself. Hopefully none of us will have to experience a catastrophe of that degree; however, significant water damage can occur from even the smallest sources and create big headaches.
It is imperative that you report all but the most minor visible water leaks to Management immediately upon discovery, even if you think that you have stopped the leak and cleaned up the mess.
Often people assume that things are isolated to their own units when the reality is that, due to the nature of condominium/attached home living, many other units are affected. For instance, a sink overflow in one unit may create water damage in two or three other units as water can travel under flooring and through demising walls (walls that separate units).
Anytime there is a water leak, the key factors to minimizing damage are stopping the source of the leak, and drying the affected areas so that the moisture does not spread to other building materials. By reporting signs of a water leak to management, even if it has occurred in your unit and you have been able to stop the leak, the Association’s emergency on-call employee can contact the Association’s plumber and ask them to check for signs of a leak, if necessary to measures to stop the leak, and hopefully minimize damage to both your home, and your neighbor’s.
Finally, most insurance policies only cover water damage that results from “sudden and accidental” water leaks, so proper maintenance and paying attention to conditions in your home are important to increasing your (or the Association’s) chances of making an insurance claim for damages in the event of a leak. Be sure you have adequate coverage for your home and possessions.
Pet Courtesy
With all of the demands on your time, it is sometimes hard to focus on courtesies regarding pet ownership. Unfortunately, it also creates more stress for your neighbors when they have to deal with nuisances such as barking dogs, dogs and cats on the loose, and feces being left on their property or common area.
These are clearly the responsibility of the pet owner and abiding by the pet rules in the community will not only promote a better relationship amongst neighbors, but will protect the health and safety of the animals as well.
Remember to always have your pet on a leash and pick up any waste left behind.
Also, please do not allow your dogs to defecate on plants. Plant replacements can be costly to the Association, meaning you, the homeowner.
Please be a good neighbor – You can make a difference!
