Road Resurfacing

Road Resurfacing of Paa-Ko’s North Entrance:
This long-awaited county roadwork on north Paa-Ko Drive, Raindance, and the associated curbed cul-de-sacs will cause the entire northern community entrance to be closed for much of the day on Tuesday, May 6th . All road traffic on this date should plan to route in-and-out of our southern Paa-Ko Drive entrance. Please note the speed limit at the southern end of Paa-Ko
Drive is 25-mph. This inconvenience should only last for May 6th.
How the Raindance Roadwork+ will affect Local Residents
We just received this information. The contractor is also leaving flyers on resident front doors. Check your porch for information that changes due to construction speed. They will try to provide 48-hour notice of scheduling issues. This road improvement effort merely begins much needed work on Paa-Ko streets. This contract was outsourced to the road contractor IPR because of the road curbing on our northern Paa-Ko roads. The Paa-Ko HOA had no control over the selection of which area of Paa-Ko would start the long project.
The Shiprock gated entrance will be closed to traffic on Friday,
May 2nd
 (use Broken Arrow).The Broken Arrow entrance will be closed to traffic on Monday, May 5th (use Shiprock). Our private gated roads are NOT included in BERNCO’s project.
On Thursday, May 1st , Squash Blossom Court, Shelu Court, Blue Corn Court, Corn Dance, Kokopelli Court, and Hania Kachina Court will be resurfaced. You need to have your car off
your street by 8:00A with a planned return time after 5:00P.
On Friday, May 2nd, the upper end of Raindance will be resurfaced. Single lane traffic will be allowed. Also planned for the 2nd is Zia Court, Monghu Kachina, Tecalote Court, Mudhead Court, Clubhouse Court, and Concha Court. Cars must be out of these streets/cul-de-sacs by 8:00 AM.

FREE GREEN WASTE DAYS

Free Green Waste days are here again.  

Drop off is at the East Mountain Transfer Station 711 Hwy. 333 in Tijeras.  Dates are April 21-May 4 from 8 am - 4 pm.

This is an ideal opportunity to do some defensible space work on your property.  Please remember that it is not a good idea to take down any live Pinon Pines at this time, since the Beetles are just starting to emerge, and they will home in on any fresh cut Pinon.  But grasses and Juniper limbs hanging down to the ground are all perfect things to be working on now.  Also, any tree limbs that overhang your roof should be dealt with since they are potential pathways to igniting your home in a wildfire.

Remember, always properly cover your load. There are too many people who do not do this, and driving over all the branches and limbs that blow off these trailers is a huge safety hazard. As you may have noticed, this starts on Monday, April 21st, so make sure that you do not start bringing green waste the weekend before.

Any questions, please call 505-281-9110

The flyer is attached below.  Go to READ MORE and then to DOCUMENTS to view.

Bears and Trash

Several residents have requested this reminder:

With the very strong winds we have been having, as well as the emerging of the bear population, please don't put your trash bins out until day of pickup.  Also, secure the bins against the winds - and the bears.  If you have to leave your bin outside all week, also secure it so the bears don't get in.  A fed bear is a dead bear.

There have been several trash spills in the neighborhood the past couple of weeks.

Siberian Elm Tree Removal

Siberian Elm Tree Removal

The Board has initiated a project to remove elm trees from the right-of-way (ROW) along Paa-Ko streets. There is no consistent ROW distance in our community, although ten feet is most common. Utility and drainage ROW distances can extend from five feet to over 50. Our project removed elms within our community right-of-way and we hope residents will tackle removal of elms on their property as required by covenant. Siberian Elms (& Russian Olives) are non-native, highly invasive, and disallowed by covenants in both sections of Paa-Ko. This project was initiated when the county changed their “trimming/tree removal” support along their East Mountain ROWs.

BERNCO used to respond to requests for site-line thinning and hazardous tree 
removal but now consider those tasks the responsibility of homeowners. Siberian Elms are “water hogs” and definitely compete with our native trees. We encourage all residents to completely remove elms from their property. We have received our fourth grant from Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District to fund our last planned chipping event this November along the streets north of Moccasin Trail to Paa-Ko’s north end. You can include elm trees along with thinned and dead native tree material for this chipping event. More information
to follow.

The recent elm removal project resulted in ten dump truck loads of chipped elm debris being

taken out of our community in an effort to beautify Paa-Ko’s roadways. This project was a six-day event.

Community Road Repair Issue

Community Road Repair Update

Because Raindance and the cul-de-sacs of north Paa-Ko Drive are “curbed”, the county contracted with an outside road contractor (IPR Ltd.) to crack-fill and resurface those street sections. Crack-filling was completed last fall and the road resurfacing should commence between April 28th and May 5th . Except for our gated areas, all Paa-Ko roads have been deeded to Bernalillo County. BERNCO has the responsibility to maintain our roads.

Your HOA Board has had extensive discussions with Eric Olivas, our county commissioner, about additional funding to repair another Paa-Ko road portion, but we have been denied for the present. In seeking alternative directed funding from Santa Fe, we have also had very preliminary discussions with our State Representative, Stefani Lorde, and our State Senator, Ant Thornton. Those conversations will continue and we will keep you informed.
