Lee Canyon first opened in 1963 and its 2017/18 winter season will be the 54th for the resort. Weather permitting, the winter season will run through late March 2018. The base lodge sits high above the city of lights at 8,510 feet. Locals are confident when they hop off the Sherwood chair lift at 9,310 feet they will land on a pillow of soft powder. That’s because Lee Canyon has an average snowfall of 161 inches and in some years that starts early, like on Oct. 9, 2011, when the area was the first to open in the United States.

Board of Directors
the Board will be deciding
to continue or eliminate paying for security in Aliante. The board will be reviewing/approving Requests for Proposals for our private security services in Aliante at the January 25, 2018 meeting. If the Board decides to request proposals, the Board will most likely be opening and reviewing/approving sealed proposals at the February 22, 2018 meeting. It is possible that the Board will decide not to accept any of the bids and not continue paying for private security services. At $5.53 per month, per homeowner, security is the third most expensive item in our budget. I strongly encourage homeowners to attend the January 25tth board meeting to let your voice be heard. Each homeowner, in accordance with our By Laws, will have 3 minutes at the beginning of the meeting to address the Board on this topic. (Some find it helpful to read a prewritten statement.)

A New Year and a New You DID YOU KNOW that extra clutter and extra weight are connected? In the
spirit of New Year resolutions, it’s time to de-clutter and clean to help start 2018 out right. StorageOne@Aliante has a few great tips to get you started on your way to a clean, organized, and clutter free living space. 1. Cut the Clutter – Getting rid of clutter doesn’t necessarily mean throwing everything away. While it’s important to ditch the items you can live without, it’s okay to keep things you still want but seldom use. Rather than keep them in your home, put them in a storage unit. That way, your home is clutter-free and you still have access to your belongings. 2. T ackle One Room at a Time – The advantage of tackling one room at a time is that it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. Stop putting it off and dive right in! You will be glad you did.
3. S trategize your Cleaning Routine – Put aside a day if you need to, or break the tasks down and do a couple of them each day. Create a vision for the room you will be cleaning and map out a plan to fit cleaning time into your busy lifestyle. 4. G et Down and Dirty – Once you’ve de-cluttered by making extra space and putting extra items in your storage unit, it’s time to clean and get started with the nitty-gritty. Wipe down your walls. Pull out the fridge, washer and dryer, and get busy on your tile and hardwood floors. Wipe down cabinet doors, wash linens, dust blinds, and get under those books and knickknacks. 5. Get Organized – Now that the hard part of cleaning is done, you can get your life organized. Organization brings clarity and peace because you can find everything. Remember that plastic storage boxes and a label maker are great tools to help you get organized.
City Council Corner MAY I BEGIN BY EXTENDING MY family’s wishes that you and your families had a very merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a joyful Kwanzaa and a wonderful new year. The fact that many of us observe the holidays differently, yet all collectively recognize the purpose and reason for celebrating this time of year, is symbolic of our community. North Las Vegas is a diverse city in so many ways, yet we all share the same core values when it comes to family and quality of life. As your Councilman in Ward 4, which truly is a privilege for me, I have gotten to know many of you over the years, both personally and as an elected representative. I also have the pleasure to work alongside my fellow Council members to address resident concerns and make decisions that continue to move our city forward, both in terms of economics and quality of life. This January, we again will host our annual State of the City event, during which Mayor Lee and our Council will highlight all of the amazing accomplishments made in our city over the past year and outline our vision for North Las Vegas in 2018. Tickets are on sale on our city website, cityofnorthlasvegas.com; I hope that you can join us. Both myself and Councilman Scott Black, who represents Ward 3 and with whom I have had the pleasure to work not only on many citywide issues but also on items that directly impact you, the citizens of Aliante, share a sincere desire to provide the best representation possible for the residents and small businesses located here. I enjoy the relationship I have with the Aliante Master Association, I appreciate the opportunity to place this article in the Aerial, and I thoroughly enjoy attending meetings of both the Master and Sun City groups. It’s clear to see that our city is growing all around us, and I’m particularly proud to have played a role in the decision-making process for the develop-
ment of The Villages at Tule Springs. This new master-planned community will complement Aliante with additional walking and bicycle paths, mid-range and high-end homes, a beautiful new regional park, a new public safety facility and branding of its own that will add value to our properties and work in tandem with the look of our beautiful Aliante master-planned community. Not far away, construction recently began on MountainView Hospital’s $10 million, stand-alone, 24/7 ER across from Aliante Casino at the 215 Beltway in Councilman Black’s ward. This new medical facility will serve both children and adults, and will make top-notch health care even more accessible to our residents. We also continue to grow the city’s commercial business tax base with companies that are new and expanding, including Amazon; Bed, Bath and Beyond; Fanatics; The Honest Company, and many more. This month, we will welcome 18 new police academy graduates to our North Las Vegas Police Department. We continue to hire firefighters and police officers at a fast clip to ensure that our city remains safe and secure, even as it grows. While there are great things on the horizon for us in 2018, our city’s ongoing progress will take continued work and time. Years after it was coined, North Las Vegas’ logo — “Your Community of Choice” — still holds true today. Knowing many of you residents and knowing all of the good work you do volunteering for the benefit of others, I would also say another tagline has emerged: “A Community of Families and Friends.” For more updates and news from Ward 4 and the City of North Las Vegas, please subscribe to my Council newsletter by visiting cityofnorthlasvegas.com. You also can email me any time at cherchior@cityofnorthlasvegas.com with questions, concerns or suggestions. Richard Cherchio Councilman, Ward 4

Walking through a winter wonderland is more than a song when at the resort. Lee Canyon also has a 1.2-mile trail in the Old Mill Picnic Area that is solely for snowshoeing. Rental equipment is available for $10 each on a first come, first serve basis; personal equipment is allowed on the trail. The snowshoeing trail is also available for private bookings. Guests are advised to check the website before driving to the mountain as snowshoeing is dependent on appropriate weather conditions. Want to build a snowman? Plan on a visit to the Foxtail Winter Snowplay Area. When weather allows, it’s open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays through Sundays. Additionally, Foxtail has parking that starts at $20 per car, heated restrooms, and a concessions area that sells gloves and hot cocoa. Get there early because spaces are limited!

Pets Are People Too WE LOVE OUR PETS,
or as we like to refer to
them “Children in Fur Coat”, and we love to see them out and about in the community. But are you a responsible pet owner? I am sure you take your fury friend to the vet but did you know that beyond walking your friend on his or her leach, you are also required to pick up after your pet? In other words, you need to scoop the poop. If you don’t you are in violation. On November 16, 2017, the Master Association reviewed the current number of dog stations we have positioned throughout the community for pet waste and approved increasing our present count of stations from 42 to 108. The original 42 dog stations will be replaced, a budgetary item which is suggested to cost up to $12,600. At the same time, the Property and Grounds Committee has recommended that the Association go out to bid with an RFP which will include not only the replacement of the present stations, but also add an additional 66 new stations, to be scattered throughout the community and to increase the presence of aids in helping pet owners pick up after their pets. It is the hope of the Board and also the Committee to have all the existing stations replaced as well as new stations installed by February of 2018.

It’s Your Party RECENTLY THERE WAS A POST on NextDoor concerning the events that are
hosted by the Aliante Master Association. Many asked why we no longer let in neighboring communities to our events. Have we become so un-neighborly that we no longer welcome all residents in the Aliante Master community? There are two questions here that should be clarified. First, let’s look at what is considered the “Aliante Master Community”. If you read the July/August edition of the Aliante Aerial, there was a map of all of the sub-association and cost centers that make up the Aliante Master Community. They consist of 13 sub-associations and 7 cost centers. In all there are 6,616 homes in the Aliante Master Association and 16 commercial residents. If you watch local news reports for the weather, they usually show a map with an area called “Aliante”. That does include our community but it also includes thousands of additional homes and business’ that border us. Many of those residents believe they live in your association but unfortunately that is not the case. It can be confusing.
So to answer the question, we do allow all residents in the Aliante Master community to attend the events. We do not let in those neighbors who live in the boarding and surrounding communities that are not part of the Aliante Master Association. And why do you ask? The best example we can give is as follows. If you rented a space at a park for a family event, would you want everyone at the park or driving by to come in, eat your guest’s food, make it longer for your child to enjoy the entertainment, or receive your family’s gifts? No, and that is why non-Aliante Master residents do not attend your events. The events are paid for out of your $39.00 monthly assessments for you to enjoy along with your Aliante Master family.

owners can help the committee process and approve applications quickly, on the first review, by making certain some minimum information is included and by first checking the Design Guidelines for unusual items such as structures, play equipment and gate screening.
Setbacks - Applications are frequently returned to homeowners because setbacks are missing on applications. Minimum setbacks to be shown are:
1. The distance between rear and side walls to the house. 2. The distance between any structural improvements such as, walkways, playground equipment, patios and pools to the house and rear yard walls.
3. Show setbacks for plants and trees. The committee needs to know homeowners and landscapers are aware all plants and sod must be three feet (3'), trees five feet (5') from the house, block walls, driveways, sidewalks and/or house property lines with irrigation directed away from walls. Setbacks must be large enough to allow planting. If a swimming pool, patio or walkway is only five feet (5’) from a wall or a house, plants may not be planted in this area. This would allow a setback of only two and a half feet (2.5’) for plants.
Unidentified objects - Every object on a drawing must be identified
Illegible drawings - All too frequently the committee receives applications that at first glance appear to be just a blank sheet of paper. We suggest making a copy on a copy machine or scanner before submitting your applications to make sure it can be discernibly digitally transmitted.
Review the Aliante and your Sub Association, if applicable, Design Guidelines - Homeowners can save themselves disappointment and financial loss by reviewing the Design Guidelines before completing applications. When in doubt - Occasionally the committee receives applications for improvements for which there are no guidelines. When this happens the committee uses its Charter for Guidance - “The Architectural Committee is responsible for preserving the architectural integrity of Aliante established within the guidelines of the CC&R’s. Its purpose is to protect, maintain and enhance Aliante’s property values.” If you have a question about an improvement Aliante Design Guidelines, 3.2 A. Initial Interview suggests a pre-application meeting with the committee before submitting an application. The committee is available to discuss questions you have about improvements. You can submit your question to management or ask to address the committee during the Homeowners’ Open Form at the beginning of a meeting. Autumn Ridge/Springdale Homeowners Association
