Our website serves as an informative resource for owners and residents of Strathmore Townhomes Homeowners Association (HOA), Rancho Palos Verdes, California. 
 
Camera Installation Incentive Program
In an effort to increase security at the complex, the HOA is currently offering $100 to the first 15 owners that want to install a camera to cover the common areas. To receive the incentive, the location, type, and positioning of the camera needs to be approved BEFORE installation. Overlapping camera coverage will be considered after non-covered areas.
 
Once the camera is installed and verified by the Board, a check will be mailed to you. The installation should follow the garage camera guidelines, but alternative locations will be considered as part of the approval process.
 
By installing a camera, you acknowledge that when requested, video must be provided to the HOA or law enforcement. Send your request for camera installation to Austin. Click here for Board member contact information.

DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OUT FOR ANIMALS!
Someone is dumping peanuts at the bottom of a tree located nearest 28625 Friarstone. This will attract rodents and also detours them from eating out of the bait stations we have placed on the property to control rodents.
 
Please do not leave any pet food or water out at all as coyotes are in the complex at night and will find it.

Parking Violations / Garage Storage
Don't park inappropriately, even if it is late at nigh! Plain and simple -- if you park in the red, on a corner, in front of your garage unattended (more than 10 min), in front of No Parking signs, too long in one spot, etc., YOU WILL BE CITED and or A WARNING STICKER may be placed on your car.  Your vehicle can also be towed. We must keep the streets clear as they are fire lanes. The Fire Dept. has warned us in the past and signs are posted indicating the streets are fire lanes. There is no wiggle room on this issue. Parking is in designated spaces ONLY. 
 
Park at least one car in your garage. We realize that parking is at a premium. Thus, if your garage is currently not able to park at least one car, you will be contacted and a fine may be levied.  We need everyone to park at least one car in their garage.

Coyotes in the Complex
Residents have informed the Board of coyote sightings at 4:30 pm and 5:45 pm, etc, in the complex, in the Kingsdown and Hollifield areas. Please take caution not to leave pets or children unattended in the complex and to be ever watchful.  Do not leave food or water outside, please. 
 
Report coyote sightings to RPV at  http://www.rpvca.gov/335/Coyotes , and here are the tips from this RPV website on avoiding conflict with coyotes. Emmy is instructing our gardeners to trim landscaping to reduce hiding places.
 
Avoiding Conflict
Here are a few suggestions you and your neighbors can follow to help avoid conflicts with coyotes and help keep them in their natural habitat areas:
  • Don't leave pet food outside overnight.
  • Don't leave small pets or children outside unattended.
  • If you compost, use enclosed bins and never compost meat or fish scraps.
  • Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house.
  • Make sure your fences are 6 feet high with no gaps at ground level – coyotes are good diggers.
  • Put bird feeders away at night to avoid attracting rodents and other coyote prey.
  • Remove fallen fruit from the ground.
  • Remove sources of water.
  • Talk to your neighbors to make sure they're following the same procedures.
  • Trim ground-level shrubbery to reduce hiding places.

Coyote Sightings & Hazing
What do you do when you begin to notice a coyote making an appearance in or near your yard? Most agencies recommend something called hazing. Hazing is a method that makes use of deterrents to move an animal out of an area or discourage an undesirable behavior or activity. Hazing can help maintain a coyote's fear of humans and deter them from neighborhood spaces. Using a variety of different hazing tools is important as coyotes can habituate to individual items, sounds, and actions.
The Humane Society explains the simplest method of hazing involves being loud and large; stand tall, wave your arms and yell at the coyote, approaching him if necessary, until he runs away. If a coyote has not been hazed before he may not immediately run away when you yell at him. If this happens, you may need to walk towards him and increase the intensity of your hazing. It is important to continue to haze the coyote until he completely leaves the area. You may need to use different tactics such as noisemakers, stomping your feet or spraying the coyote with a hose to get him to leave. In addition, you may want to carry hazing tools with you while you walk your dog. These include a whistle, squirt guns, or sticks or rocks that can be thrown towards the coyote
