Home Improvement Approval Process
Posted: Oct 27th 2011As homes in Pinebrook continue to age, the need for exterior improvements is becoming more critical. Please remember it is the homeowners responsibility that ANY changes to the exterior of a home must be submitted to the Pinebrook Architectural Control Committee (ACC) for approval. This includes roofs, paint, siding, additions or alterations to the home, fencing, solar panels and all other exterior "green" energy improvements. (Please review the CC&R's on this website for further information.) Failure to obtain ACC may result in costly removal and/or replacement with approved finishes or materials. Please contact Shelly Roybal at 435.649.7948 to submit your plans or if you have any questions about the process. Thank you for your cooperation!

IMPORTANT SECURITY AND SAFETY NOTICE!
Posted: Jul 28th 2010We have been made aware of several burglaries and thefts in our community this summer. The dark and secluded streets in Pinebrook make it easy for criminals to take advantage of opportunities if we let them, so the best way to protect yourself is to take away those opportunities. CLOSE YOUR GARAGE DOORS AT NIGHT, KEEP VEHICLES LOCKED AND VALUABLES OUT OF SIGHT, AND DON'T LEAVE KEYS IN YOUR VEHICLES. We recently contacted the Summit County Sheriff Department regarding the recent increase in criminal activity, and received this encouraging response from Captain Andrew Leatham:
"Thank you for your recent email to Sheriff Edmunds. Since I am the Captain over Patrol, Sheriff Edmunds asked me to respond. Unfortunately both Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch have seen a significant increase in the number of vehicle burglaries, residential burglaries, and thefts during the past couple of months. Both Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch have equally been targeted, and it appears that the crimes are those of opportunity. In almost all cases, the burglars and thieves have had easy access to homes and cars. Doors have been left open, valuables have been left in plain sight, and keys have been left in ignitions. Although Pinebrook's streets are darker and more secluded than those in Jeremy Ranch the number of crimes committed in each area are relatively equal, indicating to us, that proper lighting, securing of garage doors, locking of vehicles, and not leaving valuable items in plain view is a much greater factor in preventing crime than location. As you have indicated, Pinebrook is very expanisve subdivision, and although uniformed security patrol has a deterrant effect, the security patrols cannot be in all places all of the time. As you might be aware, Jeremy Ranch has its own security patrol which is staffed largely by off duty police officers, yet crimes have still increased in that area.
In response to your request for extra patrols, I can tell you that we are already do this. We have conducted analyses of the recent crimes commited in the area, and have conducted saturation patrols and surveillance operations in the area. We have brought in additional un marked units and officers from Salt Lake to assist in these operations. We are utilizing intelligence based policing techniques to help identify patterns and increasing staffing at locations and times where the patterns indicate. In the coming weeks, we also plan to bring on additional patrol deputies with bicycles to patrol the streets in Pinebrook and in Jeremy Ranch. We are trying hard to catch those responsible for this incursion into our community, and we are taking it rather personally.
It would be extremely helpful for the HOAs in both Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch to get the message out to all of your neighbors. Better security practices, more vigilance, and calling the Sheriff's Office when any type of suspicious activity is observed would be greatly appreciated. I hope I have answered your questions appropriately. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitiate to call me directly at anytime. Thanks for your support!"

PLEASE SLOW DOWN!
Posted: Oct 8th 2009You have probably noticed the recent addition of a portable radar powered speed limit sign in the neighborhood. After several years of complaints from various homeowners throughout the subdivision, the HOA board voted to acquire a speed indicating sign in hopes of slowing motorists down. Our streets are narrow and steep, so please obey the speed limit as you travel through Pinebrook for your safety as well as the safety of your neighbors. Thank you!
Email Mailing List Database
Posted: May 31st 2011Pinebrook resident Barbara Bretz has volunteered to construct an email mailing list to be used to send out emergency messages or important information to Pinebrook Estates residents. Barbara or someone on her committee will be contacting you via phone to request your email or you can email her at bbretz56@msn.com. Please consider allowing us to include your email.
Change in Dumpster Location!
Posted: May 26th 2011The location of the dumpsters at Pinebrook Park will be moved to the East parking lot. As a result of the significant amount of water and runoff received this year, a naturally flowing spring has appeared and broken through the asphalt where the dumpsters are usually located in the West parking lot. Because of the saturated soil beneath the asphalt, the heavy equipment used to haul off the dumpsters might cause significant damage to the parking area. AS A RESULT, TRAFFIC AND PARKING DISRUPTIONS AT THE PARK MAY OCCUR DURING THE SPRING CLEANUP. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we deal with the situation as best as we can.
