Controversy arises over the opening of the Eagle Ridge Lane subdivision in Sandia Heights due to conflicting opinions regarding the closure of the road. The Sandia Heights Homeowners Association Board initially voted based on incomplete information about the road's jurisdiction, leading to a petition from residents requesting the closure of Eagle Ridge Lane to address safety concerns, potential unauthorized access, and increased crime risks in the neighborhood. The subdivision approval for a new development at the intersection of San Bernadino and Tramway Blvd also faced scrutiny and conditions from the County Planning Commission, including limits on building height and the need for detailed development and drainage plans.

Residents of Sandia Heights are invited to a planning meeting regarding Don Morgan's Special Use Request appeal hearing, along with updates on a new residential subdivision and the upcoming Annual Members Meeting with Spring Fling picnic. The association received recognition for its years of service, and updates were provided on new residential subdivisions in the area, including High Desert Investment Corporation's plans for development. Community coffees, advertisement rates for "The Grit," Sandia Heights Security Patrol information, and a Homeowners Referral Program were also highlighted.

Residents of Marigold Dr. in Unit 12 are divided over the possible closing of Eagle Ridge Ln, with concerns raised about safety, speeding issues, and convenience during inclement weather. The County's decision to keep the road open has sparked controversy among residents, leading to petitions and debates within the community. The Sandia Heights Homeowners Association Board is grappling with questions regarding its authority to influence the County's decisions on the matter, expressing concerns over representing the majority's interests in the neighborhood.

Additionally, the Sandia Heights community is reminded of the importance of complying with architectural standards, particularly in screening equipment like air conditioners and basketball goals to avoid covenant violations. The newsletter also features articles on local flora like Salvia plants and a Wildflower Club event, alongside classified ads for home improvement services and non-commercial advertisements.
