Luminaria Walk HUGE Success

The residents of Unit 36C want to thank everyone who attended the 17th Annual Food Drive and Luminaria Walk around Diamond Lake. We were blessed with wonderful weather, which allowed an exceptional turnout. Thanks so much for all of your food and monetary donations. Monetary donations allow AZCEND to provide fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, and meat for families in need.

Although the luminarias are gone, the homes around the lake will remain decorated through December. We will continue to accept monetary and food donations for AZCEND thru the end of the year.  Collection boxes will remain at both entrances to Diamond Lake, as well as at the Oakwood Clubhouse. You may also use this link to easily donate to AZCEND online.

Once all donations are collected, we will announce the total pounds of food and all monetary donations received. We predict this will be a record year thanks to all of you.

SRP will be repairing and doing maintenance on some of the equipment servicing our community. Please see this letter and map (PDF) with details.

Overnight Parking Permit

The holiday season is upon us, and many IronOaks residents will be welcoming visitors and guests to their homes. Please remember that street parking is prohibited overnight, unless a current Parking Permit is displayed on a vehicle’s windshield. Parking Permits are free of charge and can be obtained in advance by contacting the Patrol Department. Should you find yourself prepping your sofa for an unintentional overnight guest, you can obtain an Overnight Parking Permit last minute by contacting our Mobile Patrol officer on duty: 480.797.6508.

Thinking of Renting Out Your Home?

No problem! But please be sure to contact the Patrol Department and secure a Rental Agreement, as there are community requirements in place that must be adhered to. Kindly keep in mind that Owners may only lease/rent the entire property (lot and all buildings) to a single-family tenant. Leases must be for a minimum of 28 days; Casitas may not be leased/rented separately from the main dwelling. Additional information can be found in our community Rules & Regulations under Leases and Rentals.

Vacation Watch

The Patrol Department offers a security assistance service to Owners who will be away from their homes for an extended period. This service is called "Vacation Watch," and if you’re interested in learning more about it, additional information is a phone call away. Please contact the Patrol Office by phone at 480.802.4937 or stop in and see one of the Patrol Administrators for further assistance.

Architecture and Landscape Guidelines

IronOaks Homeowners who anticipate making additions, changes, modifications, or restorations to the exterior of their home, lot, and/or landscape should be sure to reference the Architecture and Landscape Guidelines before contracting and/or committing to a project work scope. In many cases, securing a Permit is a requirement. Please contact the Architecture & Landscape Department at 480.802.2776 for further information.

Comment Card Overview

This week we had a total of 34 comment cards. Five were negative, eight were positive, and the remaining were neutral. Common themes included the noise from the outdoor concert, birds, and HOA annual dues questions, and the alternatives to crossing Alma School when the Champagne Gate is closed for repairs. Positives came in for our servers at both Stone & Barrel and Grill on the Green. A few comments regarding the amenity purchase program came in, both negative and positive.

If you have a comment that may apply to two areas, you only need to submit one comment. The Board is copied on all comments.

Comment cards are available online, here.

The bar area at Stone & Barrel will remain open until 9:00pm on nights when tribute concerts are held. The next concert not to be missed is the Flyboys on January 5th. Picture Frank Sinatra singing with Bruno Mars, and you'll be close! Check out a bit of nostalgia and modern mixed, in this video!

Special Note: It was stated that the Stone & Barrel bar would remain open until 9:00pm on Trivia nights. This is incorrect. The bar will remain open on Billboard Concert nights.

Trivia | Hungry?

Remember, Stone & Barrel is available for dining prior to Trivia, and the Early Bird Special is available prior to 5:00pm. Plan to enjoy the Trivia menu, or stop by a little early to sit down and enjoy an option from the full-service Stone & Barrel restaurant!

Gift Card Awards From Trivia

In January, we will be transitioning to a new back-office system. For this reason, all gift cards awarded right now show an expiration date of December 31, 2021. If you are unable to use your gift card before then, do not worry. You can bring your card in, and we will renew it for you in the new system, and you can use the funds associated.
