On behalf of the Jagare Ridge Home Owners Association (JRHOA) and the Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your family to Jagare Ridge and are confident that you will enjoy this unique community for many years!
To ensure the community is maintained to a high standard Melcor as required by the City of Edmonton, established a Homeowners Association in the Jagare Ridge Community.
The Jagare Ridge Home Owners Association (JRHOA) is a not-for–profit organization which manages and maintains assets owned by the Association for the benefit of Jagare Ridge residents.
As a property owner in the Community of Jagare Ridge, you are a member of The Jagare Ridge Home Owners Association (JRHOA).
Homeowners quite often have questions about their community. Listed below are some of the frequently asked questions regarding the Jagare Ridge Home Owners Association (JRHOA)
As part of the Jagare Ridge area development plan, Melcor designed in features to enhance the visual appearance of the community. These features are denoted in the HOA Obligations Map
These features are not maintained by the City of Edmonton, beyond basic grass maintenance. As part of the development permit approval process, the City required an HOA to be put in place to maintain these features. An encumbrance is registered at land titles on each property within Jagare Ridge.
The HOA maintains soft landscaping at the applicable sites shown in the obligations map. This includes planting & maintenance of annual flower beds, regular weeding, pruning of shrubs, fertilizing, and watering.
None. The City of Edmonton does not maintain any hardscape features denoted in the obligations map.
The HOA performs regular inspections and performs maintenance when required of all stonework & wood components, signage, iron fencing, and non-street lighting at the sites denoted on the HOA obligations map.
A boulevard is the portion of City property between the curb or road’s edge and the adjacent front property line. Boulevards may also border sidewalks, multi-use trails and alleys. Residents are responsible to care for the boulevard, alley and driveway crossing adjacent to their property line.
This means, as a homeowner, you are now responsible for the maintenance of the boulevard landscaping in front of your home to the curb, and if you are a corner lot, the flankage boulevard along the side of your property to the curb. Maintenance includes mowing, watering, fertilizing, weed control and replacement, should the grass die. During the winter months you are responsible for the snow removal from the sidewalk in front of your home and, if on a corner lot, the flankage sidewalk.
Refer to the applicable years budget in your HOA Annual Fee Letter for budgeted dollar amounts.
The HOA does not perform weeding of any common green spaces outside of the flower beds. Please contact the City of Edmonton with concerns regarding weeds.
