Call for Volunteers

1. We are in need of volunteers for our committees.  In the last GID meeting the trustees approved the attached Charter, tasking and deliverables for each of the committees.  If you have interest in any of the committees, please let us know.  You can email jnyreskyland@gmail.com, or call Janine 775-339-1961 and I will help coordinate with the trustees for each of the committees.

2. We’ve had a number of requests to re-start our Neighborhood Watch program. It is a good time to get this going as we are likely to see a lot of change over the next few years that will bring more non-residents into our neighborhood (lack of parking on Hwy 50, Zephyr Cove Resort operations moving closer to the southern boundary of our neighborhood and the potential of a bike path coming through our neighborhood).  Neighborhood Watch will also help to solidify our relationship with DCSO and increase awareness of things impacting us.  If you are interesting in leading this effort or being a block captain, please call Janine 775-339-1961.  We are hoping to get this up and running soon!

Please see September 20 Agenda for this Friday's meeting.
A couple of key points:

1. Please remove all kayaks from the beach by 10/15.

2. Please do not rake/blow pine needles and/or pine cones into the street. This will just clog up our storm drains. We have begun to call homeowners who have piles of pine needles/pine cones on the street. Please make sure you are cleaning up in front of your house.

3. We have begun to put the new "no parking" signage on the streets and at the entrances to the USFS land. These signs have the applicable DC Code voted into existence in 2019 which allows the DCSO to ticket people parked on our streets. Please know that this is not intended to pit neighbors against each other, but to ensure that people outside our neighborhood are not parking on our streets to access Zephyr Shoals/Zephyr Cove, our Skyland beach or trucks parking in our neighborhood to shuttle materials to other properties along highway 50. Our first priority was to replace the No Parking during Snow signs (complete). We are now deciding where the balance of the signs (with poles) need to be placed. If you have an issue with folks parking in front of your house and would like a sign (with post), please let us know the address.

Fun & Family

The Skyland Neighborhood is nestled between mountains to climb, forests to explore and our own private beach! Zephyr Cove Elementary School (K-6) and George Whittell High School (7-12) are just across Hwy 50 on Warrior Way. There you will also find a sports field, tennis courts, a frisbee golf and fitness course, picnic area and our local public library. Just to the south of our neighborhood are walking trails leading to Zephyr Cove and all of its amenities including the MS Dixie. Anywhere you wish to venture, Skyland is a great place for family and fun!
