Maintenance
of
City Trees in
Homeowner Parkways
The City’s General Services Department has provided us with a recap of city/homeowner responsibilities, as well as a copy of the municipal codes and city policy governing city trees in homeowner parkways. Generally, the city plants, stakes and sprays the trees. The homeowners are responsible for feeding and watering the trees. Cameo Community Association and the city are responsible for trimming the trees. For more details, please click here.
Dog Owners &
Walkers
The City of Newport Beach requires that all pets be on a leash when out in public or on private property other than the owner's property. We continue to receive numerous complaints about both unleashed dogs and excrement left on sidewalks and parking strips. Please pick up after your pets. And be sure your kids know the rules. The City can levy fines for violations of these rules. For the text of the city's ordinances, click News.

Cameo Beaches & Parks
Neighborly & Environmental Etiquette
When you use our beaches or parks for your enjoyment and pleasure, please remember that the trash you leave behind becomes a problem not only for our environmentally sensitive areas and water quality, but also for the visitors who follow you.
Our beaches and tide pools are part of the ASBS (Area of Special Biological Significance) and a protected Biological Marine Reserve.
It is important that we do our part to protect these resources and remove any trash that results from our use of these areas.
Cameo was assessed a $300 clean-up fee for trash that was left on Beach 3 over the 4th of July weekend.
Do your part; remove your trash and place it in the available receptacles. If those bins are full, please notify Villageway immediately by calling 949.450.1515.
Please Note: FIRES ARE NOT allowed on beaches and have not been allowed by the city or fire department for the last several years.

Building Regulations
Impacting Cameo Properties
The General Plan/Local Coastal Plan Implementation Committee has been reviewing development standards for home rebuilds and remodels along bluffs and canyons throughout the city. For Cameo, this impacts development along Brighton Road, Milford Drive and Morning Canyon. Residents who will be impacted by these changes should participate in the Zoning Code update process so that their concerns, comments and suggestions can be considered. Don’t let your building fate be decided by others. It’s important that Cameo owners actively participate in this process. For more information, click here.

July is Smart Irrigation Month
Automatic
sprinklers offer convenience and control in protecting your landscape
investment. Irrigation systems help you to enjoy your yard, and to keep it
healthy and beautiful. However, most homeowners tend to overwater their lawn
or waste water through inefficient habits. Adopting water-savvy habits is
essential to maintaining and extending your community's water supply,
especially during peak use.
The key to efficient outdoor irrigation is applying just enough water and
only when necessary. Water-wise habits will result in a healthier lawn and
landscape, in addition to conserving water. Plus, reducing your consumption
will help reduce your water bill.
Check sprinklers for overwatering:
Water overflows the curb and flows into the gutter
Moss is growing on the ground of landscaped area (especially in shady areas)
Soil is saturated 5” below the surface or soil is muddy.
Adjust sprinkler heads that are watering driveways, sidewalks and streets.
Consider purchasing a weather-based, “smart” irrigation controller.
Periodically inspect your irrigation system. Fix leaks and broken sprinkler heads.

If in doubt, call NBPD
949.644.3717
If something just doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. If you feel uncomfortable about any situation or person in our community, just pick up the phone and call NBPD. Be as specific as possible so that they are well informed of the circumstances when they come out to investigate. Be proactive. You owe it to your family and your neighbors.
Solicitors Update
Thanks to all Cameo members who wrote in support of changing the City's ordinance to reduce the number of hours solicitors can be in our neighborhoods. A revised ordinance is currently being reviewed by our City attorney. We will keep you posted as this moves through the process.
In the meantime, don't take chances.
Do not open your door to strangers, regardless of whom they claim to be.
What can you do to keep solicitors off your property?
Put a sign by your front door which says solicitation is prohibited. You can pick one up at any hardware store, or even make one yourself. If someone tries to solicit when you have a posted sign, you can then call NBPD and ask to have a patrol car sent to your home.

CERT/ Neighborhood Disaster Preparedness
The NBFD offers several FREE classes to help you prepare your family for emergency situations that are most likely to occur in Newport Beach.

Classes are conveniently scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday nights, as well as Saturdays.

G.03 Construction Requirements
Newport Beach Fire Marshal Steve Bunting has offered us some tips for making our homes, and our community, more fire resistant.
Determine the classification of your roofing materials. Class A and B are fire retardant. Class C (shake or wood shingles) are not.
Keep your rooftops and gutters clear of leaves and other debris. This is particularly important for homes with flat roofs.
Check your chimney's spark arrester to make sure it is in tact, fits tightly, and has not corroded. Sparks that escape from the chimney are a hazard for both you and your neighbors' homes.
Our Fire Department staff is willing to come and help with your inspection of these items. Call 949.644.3106 today and ask for an appointment.
