Holiday Events Recap and Home Decorating Contest Winner

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first winter holiday event at Mabel Bridge on Sunday, December 20th!

We had a great time watching Santa travel through the community on the fire truck, and we enjoyed handing out treats to neighbors and friends. We hope you had a great time too!

We would live to give an extra special thanks to Santa and the wonderful men and women from Orange County Fire & Rescue for the time they generously spent with our community.

Also, thanks to those of you who joined us at the pool area for milk and cookies. It was great seeing some new faces at the party. We hope you enjoyed the delicious cookies, especially those that were homemade by Heather from the Mabel Bridge Social Committee! Great job, Heather!

And last but certainly not least…

Thank you to all the families who participated in the holiday home decorating contest. You and everyone who decorated have made Mabel Bridge extra beautiful this holiday season! The winning household was on Thatcher Ave. They have decided they will donate the $25 gift card to support Second Harvest Food bank on behalf of Mabel Bridge!

Architecture Review Board (ARB) Meeting Dec 17, 2015

ARB Meeting Details

Mabel Bridge Architecture Review Board (ARB) is meeting at 7:00 PM on Dec 17, 2015 at the Mabel Bridge Community Pool.

Why is this meeting necessary?

The purpose of this meeting is for the members of the ARB to review architecture change requests and approve (or disapprove) them according to our community architecture standards and guidelines.

Mabel Bridge HOA uses design standards and guidelines to maintain consistency with the overall design concept for the community. Among other things, these guidelines help to maintain an orderly appearance and enhance the visual and aesthetic appeal of the community, which preserves and protects property values. As such, all homeowners must obtain written approval from the Architecture Review Board (ARB) before changes are made to home exteriors such as painting, major landscaping, installing fences or pools, etc.

This meeting is open to all Mabel Bridge homeowners to observe.

For more information, please review Mabel Bridge Architecture Guidelines here: 408 ARB Guidelines.pdf

To submit an architecture change request to the Architecture Review Board (ARB), use this form: 408 ARB Application.pdf.

Please note:  Our HOA by-laws allow the ARB 45 days from receipt of completed applications to review and approve (or disapprove) them. As a courtesy to our homeowners, applications are reviewed once per month. ARB meeting notices can be found on https://www.mabelbridgehoa.com/news.
