AUGUST 2011 UPDATE

On July 28, 2011, the Amerige Heights Board of Directors presented a plan to the community to bring a community center, tennis courts and green space to the vacant property at Hughes Drive and Begovich (east of the fountains).  The Board wishes to thank the many residents who attended the informational meeting.

 

Before construction of Amerige Heights began over a decade ago, the master developer worked closely with local officials and residents to shape the vision of this new community.  In a nod to local history, it was named after brothers Edward and George Amerige, who founded the City of Fullerton in 1887.  Formerly the site of a Hughes Aircraft Company defense research and development facility, this property was transformed into the walkable, award-winning community that we today call home.

 

As your Board, we are very proud about the opportunity to bring new community features that will benefit all of us.  Several opportunities have come together to allow working with the City and the developer to build out the vacant property at Hughes and Begovich.  The park concept developed as a result of earlier community meetings that involved residents has been modified – with respect to our still-challenging economy – and is in motion.  The benefits of the new project include:

A neighborhood clubhouse consisting of a 1,200 square-foot community room, a 429 square-foot veranda, a small kitchen, storage space and interior restroom

 

Three tennis courts

 

A new park play area

 

A commemorative display wall recognizing prominent Fullerton individuals

City staff and the local developer of the proposed new neighborhood in Amerige Heights are working together on the plans for these new facilities.

Fullerton Overnight Parking Regulation

 

UPDATE - September, 2005

The City of Fullerton has begun to enforce their Overnight Parking Ordinance within the Amerige Heights Community.  City law prohibits the parking of vehicles on public streets from 2 - 5 a.m.  Amerige Heights is a mix of public and private streets.  This ordinance applies only to PUBLIC streets. 

 

The community has expressed concerns to the City for many months regarding excessive vehicle speeds, suspicious activities/persons and illegal parking.  In fact, at the August 30th Homeowner Forum the public street overnight parking issue was raised during the Police Department presentation regarding Neighborhood Watch. 

 

These concerns, combined with the population growth of the Northwest side of the community has caused the Police Department to create another policing "zone" in Fullerton.  This added zone creates a patrol/enforcement emphasis in our section of Fullerton.

 

A new emphasis on patrolling can also create a need to enforce existing laws.  The Overnight Parking Ordinance was created as a tool to help deter crime by making it easier for police to watch for problems as they patrol neighborhoods.   The ordinance also helps protect the appearance of neighborhoods by discouraging parking of inoperative cars on streets.

 

The Amerige Heights Community is NOT eligible for exemption of the overnight parking restriction.

 

Traffic Circles

A unique aspect of Amerige Heights that we tend to take for granted is the traffic circle.  Did you quickly recall who had the right-of-way when you first approached the circle?  Did it seem a bit out of place?  After navigating the circle a few times you probably began to realize what a clever traffic control device it really is.  Please be patient with visitors to the community who may be unaccustomed to them.

Sports Park (Bastanchury Greenbelt)
 

January 2006

The newest addition to Fullerton’s park system is the 10.8-acre Bastanchury Park, located at Bastanchury Road and Malvern Avenue. The park, which cost approximately $6 million to develop, features two lighted softball fields, one lighted soccer field, a lighted full-court basketball court, a children’s playground (pictured here), concession stand, restrooms, and a multi-purpose trail system. Construction of the facility, which has parking spaces for 100 vehicles, was funded for the City by the LSF II, developers of the Amerige Heights residential development. This brings the total of City parks to more than 50.

Builders

The neighborhoods in Amerige Heights are inspired by the architectural styles of historic Fullerton and are designed to evoke both a feeling of the past and the future. Among their hospitable features are wide front porches and balconies, along with side or rear-entry garages that help to create a more gracious, inviting street scene.

The diversity of architecture provides this community with a sense of timelessness. You can select from homes by award-winning architects and some of the nation's top builders in styles that include American Farmhouse, Traditional, Cape Cod/Shingle, Craftsman, French Country, Prairie, and Spanish Colonial.

Community Landscaping

 

STARBUCK STREET LANDSCAPE CHANGES

Over the past year you may have noticed that many of the Chinese Elm trees along Starbuck Street have died.  The Association began working many month's ago with an Arborist in conjunction with our Landscape vendor, Park West to determine the cause.

Our Arborist determined that excess water, in combination with a hard clay soil that does not allow proper drainage, is the culprit.

 

In order to save the remaining trees, water application must be eliminated at the base of the trees.  In order to accomplish this, turf is being removed from beneath each tree, and turf irrigation is being directed away from the trees.

We are hopeful that this will save the remaining Chinese Elm trees.  Our landscaper will be monitoring the project and will make adjustments as needed.

 

The Chinese Elm trees on Starbuck Street were the first trees planted in Amerige Heights.  In fact, they were in the ground before construction began on the first homes in the community.  The trees have many years of growth, and the Board feels that it is important to make an effort to save them.  The last option would be to remove the trees and re-plant with a species that is more water and poor drainage tolerant.
