Hylo Park: the New $35 Million Redevelopment Project in North Las Vegas

FOR ALL OUR NATIVE Nevada residents, you may be wondering what happened to the two well-known Stations Casinos, Fiesta Rancho and Texas Station. A major development is under construction and some exciting plans are in the works for North Las Vegas.

In March of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Station Casinos decided to demolish both properties and sell the land on the condition that another gaming property could not be built.

The only remnants of those properties still standing are the parking garage and ice-skating rink. The plan is to keep the parking garage in place but convert the ice rink into an indoor sports facility. There will be two new skating rinks in its place. Agora Realty wants to transform approximately seventy-three acres into a mix of commercial and residential buildings, called Hylo Park, where Fiesta Rancho once stood.

Architectural renderings of the Hylo Park development and site-map shown on right and page 5.

The planned development will add more family-friendly entertainment experiences, dining options, and is expected to bring 925 jobs to the North Las Vegas area.

From the President

WE HAVE GOOD NEWS to share about the Non-functional Turf Removal Project. The Aliante Master received a rebate check from the Southern Nevada Water Authority for $219,826.50. We paid Gothic $639,945 to remove the non-functional live turf and replace it with draught-tolerant plants in the areas included in the rebate. Therefore, the net cost for these areas is $420,118.50. We have estimated that when all the non-functional turf has been removed and replaced with draught-tolerant plants, we will be saving approximately $90,000 per year on water and doing our part to conserve water.

A few homeowners have recently questioned me about the time they were told it could take to approve an ARC application. First Service Residential’s customer service representatives tell homeowners it can take up to 45 days because the association is lawfully allowed to take up to 45 days. Complete applications with legible and descriptive documentation are typically approved in 4-5 working days. If the application is incomplete and more information is needed to understand exactly what the homeowner wants to do, more information is requested, there is no time limitation for when the application must be approved. There have been cases where it took several months before the homeowner provided the missing requested information. As a reminder, the Neighbor Awareness form is no longer required.

Important Board Decisions at the June 2023, Board Meeting

• Approved a proposal from Gothic for $15,340 to remove only the non-functional turf in Parcel 64 which is a small parcel to the north of the Nature Park entrance to Springdale.

• Approved proposed new Design Guidelines for Sections 5.31 Lighting and 5.36 Security of the Aliante Design Guidelines. The new guidelines were rewritten especially to address Permanent Outdoor Security/Holiday lighting. The guidelines define the use of triggered security lighting and when the lights may be used for Holiday lighting. The holidays are: Traditional Year-end Holidays (November 30 to January 15), July 4th (July 2 to July 5), and Halloween (October 24 to November 1.)

• Approved a one-year quote for $10,573.10 for the association’s insurance. Approved a proposal from Twilight for $1,813.20 to repair vandalized landscape lights in La Vella.

• Tabled a proposal from Twilight to install vandal-resistant lights in the tunnel under Aliante Parkway until we obtain more information that convinces the board this is the best solution.

• Approved a proposal from Gothic for $121,885 to remove non-functional turf and replace it with draught-tolerant plants for the four corners at Aliante Parkway and Deer Springs. The savings from Gothic over the original estimate is 20, 326. The expected annual water savings for these four corners is 1,440, 450 gallons. The expected rebate from SNWA is $24,485.

Over Pruned Your Trees? Here’s How You Can Tell.

The what and why of having trees pruned Tree pruning is the most common form of tree maintenance. But proper tree pruning is key if you wish to have long-lasting trees that are both structurally strong and aesthetically pleasing. Pruned trees are safe, healthy, and attractive trees.

The four Ds of tree pruning

Whether you do your own tree pruning or hire someone to do it for you, it is best to adhere to The Four Ds. The branches that you remove should be dead, diseased, damaged, or deranged.

How much to remove

While following the above guidelines, be careful not to remove too much. All dead and diseased wood should be removed, but when it comes to living wood, it is best to leave those decisions to the experts. If you need to trim living wood off a live tree, no more than 20% of the live wood on a mature tree should ever be removed at one time.

What not to do

When it comes to pruning trees, there are a few things you should never do. Before you even begin, consider current conditions. You should NEVER

trim a stressed tree; if your area is experiencing a drought, you should wait until it is over. Remember, any time you cut a branch of a tree, a wound is left behind. A larger number of wounds make a tree more vulnerable to disease. The fewer wounds, the better.

Two of the most harmful pruning practices are topping and tipping. Topping cuts off large branches between nodes and is sometimes done to reduce tree height while tipping cuts off lateral branches to reduce tree width. Both methods will hurt your tree and make it exceedingly difficult for it to bounce back and to thrive in the future.

Over pruned trees are unhappy trees

Over pruned trees will struggle to return to a healthy state. When a tree has been over pruned, those struggles will be evident. Over pruning reduces the foliage needed to make food for the tree, so in effect, it starves it.

Lack of foliage and large numbers of wounds will make your tree vulnerable to pests and disease. Over pruning can kill your tree over time. Although it is impossible to fix damage from too much pruning, there are some things that you can do to support your tree moving forward. Make sure it gets enough water and provides fertilization as well.

It is easy to over prune trees if you are not careful. Over pruning trees will lead to the opposite of the results you seek. If in doubt, call an expert.

Aliante Master Elections

IT’S ELECTION TIME for the Aliante Master Association. In September, the residents of the Aliante Master community will elect four Board of Directors and 7 Cost Center Delegates this September at the annual owners meeting. The Sub-Association Delegates are chosen by each association’s Board of Directors during their annual owners meetings

Mark your calendars: September 28, 2023

• Ballots must be returned by 9:00 a.m. on the 28th.

• Ballots will be opened and counted starting at 9:01 a.m.

Ballots are mailed out to each home which allows one person to vote on a Board member from the district that represents your home in Aliante. Election material is sent out by mail, so watch your mail and take a moment to review the election material provided by each candidate in your district. Several candidates will be running in the election to serve you and the community, so be sure to see who is running.

In advance of the September board elections, the Aliante Publications Committee sent an invitation to all candidates to write a statement and have it published in the September/October issue of the Aliante Aerial. Each candidate was given the following questions suggesting a free-form response.

1. When and where have you lived in the Las Vegas valley, and why did you choose Aliante?

2. How many board meetings have you attended in the last year, and how will you encourage others to do so?

3. What compelled you to run for the board?

4. What qualifies you to be an effective board member?

5. What improvements do you envision for Aliante that you can actively facilitate?

Each candidate was asked if their statement reflects why they are the best candidate for the position. The committee did not edit candidates’ statements.

Candidate Statements

Rachelle Church- District 3

My family previously resided in Centennial Hills. We were inspired to move to Aliante when the master plan first became public. We find the Aliante community tranquil and enjoy the amenities.

I have not attended many board meetings. Initially, they were unpleasant, and I did not understand the importance of participating. My goal is to improve attendance to 100%, encouraging neighbors to do the same by sharing the importance of participating in the process to maintain and improve our community.

I have served on the Treviso HOA board for several years. I have learned the value of a board with integrity and compassion for all neighbors. Representing District 3 on the Aliante Master HOA board would be a privilege. Besides my experience as a board member with Treviso HOA, I also have management experience in both the state and federal governments. Developing, implementing, and managing budgets is a strength. Serving the community in my capacity as a Field Operations manager for the State Health and Human Resources offices and now working for the Veter-

ans Health Administration has prepared me with the skills needed to serve on the Aliante Master board. My vision is to help facilitate the return of Aliante to the original intent of the Master plan while maintaining fiscal integrity in our budgets, holding vendors accountable for their quality of work and how we might improve safety in our common areas. Despite large landscape expenditures, our communal areas have areas of dead vegetation, dirt where grass should be and overgrown trees. There is an increase in vandalism in our common areas. It would be one of my priorities to explore how we might help reduce this. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to represent my neighbors.

Kimber Larson- District 3

To all concerned:

I have lived in Las Vegas for 22 years. I lived in the Orchards Development off Charleston and Hollywood from 2001-2003. We then moved to Tierra De Las Palmas, off Simmons & Lone Mountain from 2005-2012. We then bought a lovely home in Bluegrass Estates, off Rainbow and Farm Road from mid-2012-mid 2021. I was divorced and wanted to downsize on a house, but I wanted to stay close to the Northwest part of town. I wanted to live in a nice community, and I have always loved the Aliante Development so I was able to buy a house that I could afford. I have lived in Aliante for 2 years now. I really like the community and I feel safe in the area that I live in. I have not attended any Board Meetings this year because I started a new job, and I was focused solely on that until now. I will attend and will encourage other residents in District 3 to attend also. It is important to attend the board meetings whenever possible. A lot of information is gone over during Board Meetings and there is a lot to learn about our community and First Service Residential. I was compelled to run for office so I could help make much needed changes in the community. I want to be effective in helping the Board focus on things in the community that should be a priority, and much less time on worrying about things that matter much less. I feel that having experience as an HOA President in the Bluegrass Estates Community for 5 years, gives me a lot of knowledge and expertise. I am aware of how Board Meetings are supposed to run, and the types of things that need to be covered in them.

I also have the experience of being an AirForce wife of an AirForce Pilot. We moved around the US every 1.5 to 3 years. I often had to work, take care of my 3 children, plus the house by myself. I would do so anywhere from 3 days to 1 year by myself.

I hope to make improvements as far as our HOA having too much say in what we do with our backyards. If we don’t have massive things in our backyard that can be seen from the front yard, or we don’t have brightly colored gaudy architecture in our backyard. As long as the changes match the desert landscaping and stay in a neutral color, that’s all that should matter as far as the backyard is concerned. Thank you for your consideration,

Kimber Larson

Back to School Safety Tips

CHILDREN TRAVEL to school in many ways – by bus, car, on bicycle, scooter, or on foot. Teaching kids about traffic safety is a priority for the Nevada Department of Transportation. We like to say that safety is a two-way street: it is the job of responsible pedestrians and attentive motorists to safely navigate through our daily commutes.

Walking or biking to school

By car, bicycle and/or foot, families should conduct a test trip between home and school before the school year begins. Access and other roadway conditions can change over the summer, even on previously familiar routes. Familiarize yourself with distance, travel time, safe crossing areas and more. Use this test trip as an opportunity to remind children of traffic safety practices.

✔ There’s safety in numbers. Encourage your child to walk in groups with other children. You can also check with your school for more information to Initiate a “walking school bus.”

✔ Ensure that children on a bicycle, scooter or skates have a well-fitting helmet with bright colored clothing to increase visibility.

✔ If riding, check brakes and air in tires before each ride.

✔ Make sure that there is no loose clothing or gear such as loose pant legs, backpack straps or shoelaces, which could become caught in your bike chain. Also wear sneakers when biking. Sandals, flip-flops, shoes with heels, and cleats will not help you grip the pedals.

✔ Only cross at designated crosswalks. Obey all traffic signs, traffic lights, and crossing guard instructions. If you are on a bike or scooter, walk and do not ride through the crosswalk.

✔ The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration advises you to follow the tried-and-true rule: Look left-right-left before crossing any street. To make sure that they see you, make eye contact with all approaching drivers before crossing the street.

✔ Walk or ride predictably in a straight line without weaving in and out of traffic. Travel in the same direction as traffic and on the sidewalk whenever possible.

✔ Always remain alert and attentive to your surroundings, with your eyes focused on the road ahead. Do not listen to music that could distract from the roadway sounds and alerts around you.

Riding the school bus

✔ Stay five steps away from the curb.

✔ Always wait for the bus driver to tell you when to board.

✔ Face forward after finding a seat on the bus.

✔ Exit the bus when it stops, look left-right-left, and take five steps away from the bus toward the curb.

✔ Children should always enter and exit the bus at designated locations that provide safe access to the bus or to the school building.

Sharing the road with young pedestrians

✔ Always wear your seatbelt while operating or as a passenger in a vehicle.

✔ Do not text or talk on your phone while operating a vehicle. It is dangerous and against the law in Nevada.

✔ Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Check crosswalks to ensure pedestrians are not present, obey traffic signs, speed limits, and proceed slowly through school zones.

✔ Stop for a school patrol safety officer or crossing guard using hand signals or holding a sign.

✔ Do not block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light or waiting to make a turn. This forces pedestrians to have to move around you, putting them in the way of moving traffic.

✔ Per state law, no U-turns or passing are allowed in Nevada active school zones or school crossing zones.

Eight Signs it’s Time to Paint a House

A NEW COAT of paint can completely transform the look of your home. While painting a house can be a big job, it’s a project that can be completed in a week or two.

The exterior paint on most stucco homes in Nevada is expected to last anywhere from ten to fi years before it starts breaking down because of our harsh sunlight and high temperatures. Spring and fall are the ideal times of the year to paint the exteriors of homes. Listed are 8 signs it's time to paint your house.

1. Flaking, bubbling, or cracking paint

2. Hardened caulk

3 Fading paint

4. Patching stucco

5. Because the paint color morphed

6. To boost curb appeal

7. If your house is new

8. Before paint chips or peels

Most homes need to be painted every

seven to ten years, but the actual time frame varies by material and region. In areas with intense sunlight, stucco, vinyl, or aluminum siding should be painted about every five years. Wood siding may need to be painted every three to seven years.

Tips and Tricks for Painting Stucco

1. Always Clean Before Painting

2. Caulk the Cracks Before Painting

3. Use an Exterior Paint Primer

4. Buy More Paint Than You Think You’ll Need

The Aliante Master Architectural Committee would like to offer these guidelines to help expedite the review and approval of your paint application.

“No approval shall be required to repaint the exterior of a structure in accordance with previously approved plans or in accordance with the original

color scheme. Any other repainting requires approval from the Committee. Base and trim colors used in repainting shall be from the color palette established by the Declarant. Paint shall be of the same type (flat, enamel, semi-gloss) as the original color scheme.”

If you live in a Sub-Association, please contact your management company for existing color schemes for your Association. If you live in a Cost Center, please contact the Aliante Master Association management company for the approved color schemes for your community.

School is in Session!

TIPS FOR PARENTS to get ready for a successful school year, it’s important to keep two (2) things in mind. Safety, and a working schedule! Here are some helpful suggestions that will keep your time efficient and your year running safely and smoothly.

1) Purge and declutter before school (and regularly)

2) Make sure your school has your child’s updated emergency contact information. Write down any specific instructions that should be followed in case of an emergency, and have the school keep them in your child’s file.

3) Time and schedule management plans in place before the first day.

4) Talk to your child’s teachers, alert them to any medical issues your child has. Also, explain to the teacher what he or she should do if a medical issue arises.

5) Make travel arrangements before and after school hours. Pick up & drop off can be highly underrated. Let your children know exactly who they can go home with after school.

6) Be sure to find out the start and end times of any after school programs such as safekey.

7) Help your children memorize important phone numbers so that they know how to get in touch with you and other trusted adults.

8) Set up a system for school lunches. Pack the night ahead or place enough money on the school account for the week.

9) If your children walk to school, walk the route with them several times before classes start to make sure they understand traffic laws and can walk the route on their own. Also, find a friend or sibling they can walk with, and make sure they always use the buddy system.

10) Show your children which houses in the neighborhood they can go to in case no one is at home after school.

11) Report reckless drivers to the HOA (if in a gated community) and the police to help make sure the neighborhood remains safe, particularly during times when kids are going to and returning from school

Community Champion

MY NAME IS WILSON D. LANGFORD, I’m from a small island in the pacific called American Samoa. I have been married for 26 years to my lovely wife Fa’ana Langford, who is a preschool teacher. I have two beautiful adult children, Nathaniel Langford (25), who is currently deployed, serving our country. My daughter Kim — Ling Langford (18), a soon to be sophomore attending University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

I am a military veteran, who served our country for twenty-five plus years, and I am proud of it! Most of my family served our nation from past to present, and plan to continue to serve in the future. As an active member and mentor of the Wounded Warrior Project program in the Las Vegas area, I use this platform to communicate with Vets and guide them with techniques I use to cope with stress, anxiety, and whatever

challenges they may go through in life. It is one of my therapies by sharing what I have gone through and continue to go through.

I have volunteered my time between two HOA committees for over four years. First, I joined the P&G committee and following that I became the chairman of Safety committee. I have been an active member of the community, resolving issues and mitigating them from happening, also having a good rapport with the city of North Las Vegas council members.

My hobbies consist of golf, swimming, and gardening. All methods to relax and enjoy the state of peace. My focus in life is my family and my health.

Lastly, I encourage the community to volunteer and join the HOA. Be a part of the solution not the problem.

Drip It, Don’t Drown It: How to Water Smart This Summer

BECAUSE RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPES feature a wide variety of plants and trees—each requiring different amounts of water—it’s important to know how much water you should apply to your landscape to help it to survive and thrive…and not drown.

Unlike grass, desert-adapted, water-efficient landscapes on drip irrigation systems require much less water, even during the brutal hot days of Southern Nevada’s summer. In fact, most drip-irrigated landscapes can get by with two or three days of watering per week, as drip irrigation delivers water at a slower rate while still providing sufficient water to plants that need it.

To determine how long to set your drip irrigation, first identify if your drip emitters have a high- or a low-flow rate, based on gallons per hour (gph). If you observe a consistent flow, stream or sprinkler-like release of water, then your emitters are likely high-flow; a bead-like release of water drops indicates a low-flow emitter. Once you’ve determined the flow rate of your emitters, follow these suggested watering times:

High-flow emitter (up to 20 gph): 20-40 minutes or less

Low-flow emitter (up to 4 gph): 30 minutes or less

Low-flow emitter (up to 2 gph):60 minutes or less

Low-flow emitter (up to 1 gph): 90 minutes or less

As a reminder, the community’s mandatory summer watering restrictions, in effect through Aug. 31, prohibit sprinkler watering between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday watering is prohibited all year long. Water grass three times a day for about four minutes each cycle, spaced an hour apart, for a total of no more than 12 minutes per watering day. Also, set your drip irrigation to two to three days a week, adding days only as conditions warrant.

There are multiple factors that go into how long drip irrigation should run, as the amount of drip irrigation needed can vary based on the emitter flow rate, the soil type, and the surrounding weather conditions.

For more information on drip irrigation watering visit snwa.com.

What money you may ask, Items specified in Nevada Revised Statutes 120A says Nevada could hold financial assets owed to an individual or a bus iness, including securities, bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, utility deposits, insurance proceeds, gift certificates, and other items.

The primary mission of the Nevada Unclaimed Property Division is to reunite original owners with their property.

Note: Unclaimed Property Does Not Include Real Estate Or Vehicles.

Here is how you can check to see if you have unclaimed money.

Go to the Nevada State Treasurer website and click the yellow smiley face option that says “search for unclaimed money”. It really is that easy.

Not from Nevada? You can state your claim in other states as well. Go to missingmoney.com. There is no fee to file a claim or to search for property.
