The Power of Three: Mandatory Spring
Seasonal Restrictions Take Effect March 1
Have you ever noticed how good things come in
threes?
Examples of good things that come in threes are: Three-ring circuses, three goals in a
Golden Knights’ or a Las Vegas Lights’ hat trick, three flavors in delicious Neapolitan ice
cream, three-course meals and The Three Stooges.
Here in Southern Nevada, during the Spring, there are three days to run your landscape
irrigation system.
Mandatory spring seasonal watering restrictions, which limit sprinkler irrigation to no more
than three assigned days per week, will be in effect for businesses and residents
throughout the community from March 1st through April 30th. Watering is prohibited on
Sunday. Your watering days are based on your watering group, which you can find by
typing in your address at changeyourclock.com.
While the mandatory restrictions limit sprinkler irrigation to three days a week, there are
methods you can use to increase the efficiency of your landscape irrigation system. One
of these is using the “cycle and soak” lawn-watering method, which you can do by setting
your irrigation timer to water in three short cycles of three or four minutes per station one
hour apart. Some lawns need more or less water, depending upon the type of grass;
adding or removing one minute from the watering time will change the amount of water
you use by as much as 25 percent, and prevent water waste.
Because drip irrigation is needed less often than sprinkler irrigation, try running your drip
irrigation system in a single cycle of 30 to 90 minutes, two
days a week, based on emitter flow rate, soil type and
weather conditions. Visit snwa.com for drip watering tips.
Also, don’t forget to change the clock on your irrigation timer
and adjust the irrigation start times when Daylight Saving
Time begins Sunday, March 10th.
Peccole Ranch Community Association properties are in
Watering Group D. Water only on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday (March 1st - April 30th).

Take wing this spring as the Springs
Preserve’s seasonal Butterfly Habitat
emerges from its cocoon, March 9th
through Memorial Day, May 27th, 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. daily.
Home to hundreds of butterflies, along with
a wide array of plants that sustain them, the
Butterfly Habitat provides you with an up-
close opportunity to learn about butterfly life
cycles and the key role these beautiful
creatures play as pollinators in our desert
ecosystem. After your visit, you'll emerge
with a better understanding of the
environment needed for the survival of
these spectacular animals.
Admission is $2 for Springs Preserve value
members and $3 for non-members. Bronze
-level and above Springs Preserve

guests ages 2 and up must be ticketed.

Fairy Door & Pixie Places
Do you believe in fairies? I Do… I Do…
Peccole Ranch has some special new residents. They have magically appeared around
the newly renovated playground area and seem to encourage the creative play and
imagination of children who discover the entrances to their homes.
Their origin is debated and quite mysterious. It seems that once the first few fairy
families made their appearance, many other fairies and pixies have discovered the
enchanting and welcoming neighborhood of Peccole Ranch.
We have discovered that in order to go on a fairy hunt one needs; good shoes, good
eyes and patience. Just like humans, fairies are social creatures and many families
have formed fairy neighborhoods together.
When you come to Peccole Ranch please be careful with the fairy doors. If you see one
that has been destroyed or damaged, please let the office know so that we may let our
fairy friends know about it.
Some people cannot see fairies… Only those who have pure hearts, and gentle spirits.
Have fun finding fairies! If you have a fairy door or home that needs a home, please let
the office know and will be happy to help you.
Fairy doors can be found by the
playground!

Who are the Summerlin Toastmasters?
Twice each month, the Peccole Ranch community center is host to a lively group which calls itself the Summerlin Toasters. The Summerlin
Toasters is one of 16,000 clubs around the world that make up Toastmasters International.
Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization that is a world leader in communication and leadership development. The
organization has more than 357,000 members in 143 countries. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by participating in
their local club meetings.
Toastmasters come from all walks of life; and represent a vast array of professions. Some members join to overcome their fear of public
speaking. Others join to improve their communication skills, or to help themselves advance in their respective professions. Every
Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. Members learn and grow by giving speeches, delivering presentations, and by receiving
and offering feedback to one another.
Each Toastmasters club’s mission is to “provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop
communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and
personal growth”.
The Summerlin Toasters club holds its meetings twice a month; on the second
and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings are open to the public, and the
club warmly welcomes visitors. In fact, the Summerlin Toasters have
characterized themselves as the “Las Vegas Valley's Friendliest Toastmasters
Club”.

“Thanks for the
Memories”
Special thank you to all our vendors, sponsors, police officers, and residents who came out to support Peccole Ranch National Night Out on October 2, 2018.
Please thank all of the following vendors, listed to the right, who helped sponsor and donated raffle prizes. They are the ones who make this event so successful.
Winter Social
Thank you to all who came to our Winter Social on December 1, 2018. We had such a
great turn out and I hope you all enjoyed your Family Photos. It was a pleasure to
capture your family memories.
Also, congrats to all 9 families who received free real Noble Fur Christmas Trees. If you
missed out, don’t worry will have it again on December 7, 2019, so save the date.
Garage Doors Open: Means You Are Just
Asking For Trouble.
Throughout the Las Vegas valley home and vehicle break-ins are on the rise. It is not unusual for the Community Patrol to report a half a dozen garage doors open and no one around each night.
If you see your neighbor’s garage door open, call them, knock on their door, let them know they are creating an environment that invites crime. This situation presents someone the opportunity to enter a garage, steal items that are hard to trace, quickly turn them into cash, and then disappear without a witness.
Neighborhood Watch is, as the name implies, a group of people who see the subtle, and not so subtle, changes of their neighborhood. They simply observe and report violations of ordinances and laws to the proper law enforcement agencies. If you are interested in becoming an active member of Neighborhood Watch call the Spring Valley Area Command at 702-828-1650 and ask for Hannah McCready.
Community Patrol
Residents should know, the community
personnel or services are primarily available
for disturbances, violations of Association
rules and regulations, and problems within
the common elements owned by the
Association.
Under no circumstance is the Community
Patrol to be listed as a contact for your
personal alarm company. The community
patrol officers are not authorized to enter into
a person’s residence or gated yard.
In the event of criminal activity, Metro is to be
contacted first. Do not delay in calling Metro
for assistance. After you have called Metro,
then call the Community Patrol to stand by to
support you as a professional witness.
Please call the PRCA management office
with the event number Metro assigns to the
incident.

See Something - Say Something
For your own protection, please DO NOT CONFRONT THE
OFFENDERS, CALL METRO!
Criminals are opportunists. They want to get in and out of your house as
quickly and as quietly as possible. Because the majority of people work during
the day, and considering the fact that we are living in such a fast paced society
where many neighbors don’t take time to get to know one another, criminals
are counting on people just minding their own business. Get to know your
neighbors and who should be in your neighborhood.
The Peccole Ranch office has received a few calls in regards to car break-ins
and homeowners aren't sure what to do. First, call Metro to report the break-in
and see if any valuables were stolen, then call the Community Patrol.
“See Something – Say Something”. Call the police and let them know if you
have been a victim of a crime – if you don’t report it, the police will not increase
their presence in our neighborhood. After calling the police, call the
Community Patrol if you see a suspicious vehicle, activity or person to provide
an accurate and detailed description of the person, vehicle and activity.
“If at any time you feel you need immediate response,
contact 911 and have Metro respond.”
Peccole Ranch’s number one crime stat is
people leaving valuables in their cars and the
vehicle being unlocked or broken into. The
best solution is to park your vehicle in your
locked garage. If you must park in the
driveway consider taking valuables inside
your home and lock your car.
CAR BREAK-INS
TO AVOID BECOMING THE VICTIM OF A RESIDENTIAL ROBBERY OR BURGLARY:
Don’t leave your window coverings open allowing people to see what is inside.
Break down any boxes before setting them out for trash. Don’t advertise your new items.
Keep your garage door closed and make sure your doors and windows are locked.
When arriving home, scan your property for anyone who may be there, before exiting the
car.
Top 5 Compliance Concerns
Landscape Maintenance and Weeds - Check your trees and shrubs to make certain they aren’t blocking windows and/or doors or your
house address sign. This is for your safety so that your address can be seen from the street. Also, you do not want to provide a hiding place
for criminals. You will also want to make sure that the trees and shrubs don’t block the sidewalks or street signs. Since we are in the Spring
rain season, all the weed seed pods are starting to grow in rocks and landscape beds, your continuous attention now will minimize the
number of weeds on your property.
Palm trees - Palm tree debris can cause a lot of problems with swimming pool equipment and if left unattended, in a very short period of
time, the palm can become a habitat for scorpions and rats.
Fascia and Garage Trim - the wood located just below your roof and around your garage door could be dried
out and peeling. Routine maintenance of your fascia will make a big difference in the appearance of your
property and property value.
Block Wall Maintenance - Repair/Repaint - Walls are expensive to replace, and to maintain the life of the
walls, the Association needs your help in identifying the source of water that may cause damage to the walls.
Exterior DRC Modifications Without Approval - There appears to be a lot of home improvements started
without proper approval. Please know and understand, if this is noted against your property, there will be a
Cease & Desist issued and you will be scheduled to address this compliance issue with the Board at their next
scheduled meeting. Please contact staff to verify what exactly needs approval or refer to your DRC
Guidelines. Many things can be approved by staff.
Compliance Corner: Question: What do I do if I get a letter from the HOA about a compliance issue?
Answer: Communication is key! Part of what makes Peccole Ranch Community Association an enjoyable place to live is the maintenance of
landscapes, building structures and amenities. To safeguard the aesthetics of the community, the Association and staff work with owners to
maintain or achieve compliance within the guide-lines of the community. Staff regularly visits the many different “neighborhoods” within
Peccole Ranch and keeps a lookout for obvious violations. Staff investigates and responds to complaints from residents and serves as an
educational resource for owners. Their goal is to help residents understand Peccole Ranch Community Association CC&Rs (Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions), DRC Guidelines, Rules & Regulations and Enforcement Guidelines, which identify compliance procedures.
Should violations be noticed, staff will communicate with owners, educating them on the rule or regulation in question, and ex-plaining what
actions need to be undertaken to bring a property into compliance.
The Board of Directors has created a compliance stage guideline to help establish compliance that can be resolved with communication
between the homeowner and staff.
Stage 1 – Courtesy Letter: a letter sent to the homeowner in violation with a description of the violation, a picture of the violation if applicable,
and a deadline for compliance. In most cases, after the first letter is received, the homeowner brings their property into compliance with the
Covenant guidelines.
The main purpose of the letters is to notify the homeowner of compliance issues. Often times homeowners are unaware of the covenant
guidelines or simply have overlooked the problem. The courtesy notice acts as a reminder.
Stage 2 – Violation Notice: if after 14 days the homeowner is still in violation, they will receive a second letter - a violation notice.
Stage 3 – Hearing Notice: if after the violation notice has been sent, the homeowner is still in violation, they will receive a registered letter
requesting they appear at a Hearing before the PRCA Board of Directors to discuss why they continue to be out of compliance and a
possible resolution.
Failure to report to the hearing or correct the violation could result in fines in an effort to bring the homeowner into compliance. However,
this is implemented as a last resort.
If you have any question or concerns regarding the covenant guidelines or enforcement, please call or email management staff at: (702) 255-
3351 or [email protected]. The staff can inspect the property and take photos for a property manager for a fee of $25.00 per
inspection. Payment must be received prior to the inspection in the form of a check or money order only.
Frequently Asked DRC Questions...
Thinking of doing some
outdoor modifications to
your home? If you are thinking of painting, redoing your
landscaping or any other outdoor home
modifications to your home you must
submit a DRC application or you can be
fined.
All forms are available at the Peccole
Ranch office.
The DRC committee meets every 1st
Thursday of the month, DRC applications
are due ten (10) days prior to the DRC
Committee meeting.
PRCA Design Guidelines
Purpose
The intent of the Peccole Ranch Community Association (PRCA) Design Guidelines is to
maintain a visually appealing living environment while encouraging design creativity within a
consistent framework in order to preserve property values. The standards established for
design, style, materials, colors and location of site improvements, landscaping, and signage
are intended to accomplish this purpose. The process for reviewing proposed modifications
ensures that all projects are developed with the consistency and quality that will maintain this
common goal. It’s not as daunting as it sounds. Staff is here to help you.
Standards of Review
The standards and procedures set forth in these Design Guidelines are intended as a tool for
maintaining and enhancing the overall architectural aesthetics, as well as controlling water
usage, planting zones, types of plants, etc. throughout the Community. In cooperation with the
Southern Nevada Water Authority, the PRCA Design Guidelines promote the use of drought
tolerant plants and water saving landscape design throughout the Community. Review and
approval of any application is made on the basis of the above-mentioned considerations. The
Association shall not bear any responsibility for ensuring (a) structural integrity or soundness of
approved construction or modifications; (b) compliance with building codes and other
governmental requirements; (c) conformity of quality, value, size or design with other
improvements in the community; or (d) the continued quality of appearance of improvements
over time. In order to maintain the ambiance and quality of the Common areas: parks, paseos
and open areas of the community, special attention and care shall be paid to improvements on
all Lots and Dwellings adjacent to the Common areas.
Can I Plant However I Want?
Putting plants next to the foundation and
edging driveways leaves vast expanses of
rock and is not visually appealing. Plants
must be 3 ft. away from any structure or
property wall. Trees must be planted a
minimum 5 ft. from any structure or property
wall and consideration be given to the
development of the tree in relationship to the
building. Integration of plantings provides
different textures and heights and is an
essential element in good landscape design.
You must have 40% ground cover, (live
plant material) planted in the ground; trees
count towards live vegetation required.
It is not the intent of the Committee to
approve plans where there are plants only
against the foundation of the home and next
to sidewalks and to have vast expanses of
rock. *Vast expansion of rock is considered
to be any vegetation more than 6’ apart.
Can I re-paint the exterior of my home the
original color?
No, the DRC Committee has chosen a wide
variety of new modern colors for painting the
exterior of your home. The PRCA Office has
an approved paint palette book with all the
variations of colors that you can check out
for a $50.00 refundable deposit (check or
money order only, NO CASH).
Do I have to let my HOA know of any
exterior changes to the front or back of
my property?
Yes, all outdoor exterior changes to the
property such as; painting, landscaping,
windows, solar panels, etc. all need a DRC
application with an application fee (depends
on the tier - No Cash) and needs to be
submitted for DRC approval. The DRC
meeting is every 1st Thursday of the month,
but all applications need to be turned in no
later then 10 days prior to the meeting.
Do I have to have a tree on my property?
Yes, all properties throughout Peccole
Ranch must have at least one tree in their
front yard. One tree - 24 inch box size,
variance offered on case by case basis
depending on location and yard size.
Do my plants have to stay green all year?
Yes, front yard ground cover and plants
installed must be at least 60% evergreen
(non-dormant) year round.
When does the DRC Committee meet?
The DRC committee meets every 1st
Thursday of the month and all applications
need to be turned in 10 days prior to the
meeting.
Upcoming DRC Meeting Dates:
April 4 , May 2, June 6
Deadlines to submit DRC applications:
March 25, April 22, May 28
The DRC will only approve plans that provide an integration of
plantings to provide the look of a variety of textures and heights.
Please refer to the Design Guidelines for the approved plant palette
which contains square footage credit based upon the credit applied
by Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA.com). Staff has design
books to check out for landscape ideas.
DRC applications are available at the PRCA office. An application
fee is needed with your application and you can call the office for
those fees, since all projects are priced by tiers. Check or Money
Order is accepted at the PRCA office - NO CASH.
If you have any other questions regarding any outdoor modifications
to your home, please email [email protected].
Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA)
Landscape Rebate
If you’ve been considering swapping out your thirsty turf-grass for a water-efficient landscape, but
have put your plans on hold, take note: The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) recently
increased the financial incentive of its highly-successful Water Smart Landscapes Rebate program
(WSL) from $2 per square foot to $3 for each square foot of the first 10,000 square feet of converted
landscaping and $1.50 per square foot thereafter. Whether you hire a professional landscaper or
choose to do the work yourself, the increase is available for both residential and commercial property
owners.
The $3 per square foot rebate is applicable to the first 10,000 square feet of turf removed, with $1.50
per square foot rebated beyond that (currently up to $300,000 maximum). Additionally, property
owners served by groundwater wells are eligible for the $3 rebate up to 2,500 square feet of
converted grass via the SNWA’s Groundwater Management Program.
More information about the WSL program, including eligibility requirements, pre- and post-conversion
resources, and sample landscape plans are available at snwa.com. To enroll, call (702) 258-SAVE
or visit snwa.com.
When your project is complete, please contact Hillery Francis, Conservation Programs Coordinator,
Multi-Family/HOA, for a final inspection. Ph. (702) 691-5201 / snwa.com.
After you have received approval from the SNWA, you can go forward with submitting a Landscape
DRC application and $25.00 (check or money order) fee to Peccole Ranch Community Association.
Converted areas must have at
least 50% living plant cover at
maturity (based upon the Southern
Nevada Water Authority’s plant
list).
PRCA requires 40% coverage of
living plant cover/vegetation.

PRCA Design Guidelines
Purpose
The intent of the Peccole Ranch Community Association (PRCA) Design Guidelines is to
maintain a visually appealing living environment while encouraging design creativity within a
consistent framework in order to preserve property values. The standards established for
design, style, materials, colors and location of site improvements, landscaping, and signage
are intended to accomplish this purpose. The process for reviewing proposed modifications
ensures that all projects are developed with the consistency and quality that will maintain this
common goal. It’s not as daunting as it sounds. Staff is here to help you.
Standards of Review
The standards and procedures set forth in these Design Guidelines are intended as a tool for
maintaining and enhancing the overall architectural aesthetics, as well as controlling water
usage, planting zones, types of plants, etc. throughout the Community. In cooperation with the
Southern Nevada Water Authority, the PRCA Design Guidelines promote the use of drought
tolerant plants and water saving landscape design throughout the Community. Review and
approval of any application is made on the basis of the above-mentioned considerations. The
Association shall not bear any responsibility for ensuring (a) structural integrity or soundness of
approved construction or modifications; (b) compliance with building codes and other
governmental requirements; (c) conformity of quality, value, size or design with other
improvements in the community; or (d) the continued quality of appearance of improvements
over time. In order to maintain the ambiance and quality of the Common areas: parks, paseos
and open areas of the community, special attention and care shall be paid to improvements on
all Lots and Dwellings adjacent to the Common areas.
Be a Good Neighbor

curb is the responsibility of the
resident to keep safe and clean.
