Dear Los Ranchitos Neighbors,
The Los Ranchitos Neighborhood is one of the original equestrian residential communities in Temecula. The more than 8 miles of pedestrian and equestrian trails that connect our community make us unique and special. The trail system adds value to our property and our lifestyle. It is important to maintain the trails for safety, and cultivate their use to the best of our abilities.
The Trail Maintenance Committee and the HOA wanted to reach out to the homeowners in efforts to keep this special aspect of our community intact and user friendly. As a courtesy, trail maintenance such as some weed abatement and grooming of the natural terrain is being assisted by the HOA, however, below are a few of the responsibilities of the individual homeowner on their owned section of the easement:
- Maintain the fence in good condition, to an appropriate height to contain the animals owned by your household.
- Trim weeds on the trail 2 feet from the fence line on either side of the fence, as the tractor will not be able to maintain within that proximity to the fence without potential for damage.
- Clean up any weed or brush piles within your owned trail easement. The HOA does not own any dumpsters or have trash services on the trails system and the maintenance sometimes creates weed piles.
- Trim any trees so that overhanging branches are at a minimum height of 9.5 feet to ensure safe passage for equestrians.
- Clear fallen or dead trees to allow clear passage.
- Maintain cross lot drainage as per blue line stream maps. In other words, please do not dam off or flood your neighbors. Work with you neighbor to ensure smooth, quick drainage.
- Please also review the City of Temecula’s weed abatement policies to determine your compliance responsibilities: https://temeculaca.gov/1545/Weed-Abatement.
Thank you in advance for your contribution to keeping this community special. For questions, comments or concerns, please visit the “Contact Us” page on the Los Ranchitos website.
Sincerely,
Los Ranchitos Trail Committee and HOA
