We are seeking energetic, responsible volunteers. Sign up to be a harvest leader, neighborhood coordinator or site scout. We’ll show you how to organize a fruit-picking adventure while meeting neighbors and new friends. To volunteer, contact Katherine at kdaniels@salemharvest.org. Register your tree, vine or berry bush using our online form, or contact Dick at dyates@salemharvest.org. For information visit www.salemharvest.org or contact Lisa at lclark-burnell@salemharvest.org. Volunteers from the police department are offering to do free security surveys. Safety Tip: Dowels in windows need to fit tightly to prevent the window from being opened. A loose dowel can be lifted out! Click here to see a document submitted by Geoffrey James of Land Design NW that provides a narrative description with a color vicinity map and site map of the proposed apartments to be located south and east of Rainier St South (just south of Davis Road). This information was presented during the February 11th SGNA General Meeting. The Planning Commission is scheduled to hear this proposal on March 2.

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Option 5 Option 6 Option 7 Option 7a Option 8 Option 9 Option 10 Option 11 Because of the widening of Kuebler Blvd., there will be some changes in certain areas of SGNA during the next few months. Property has been or will be purchased along the Kuebler Blvd. right of way which is needed in order to widen that beltline and meet state and federal requirements. One place under consideration is the entrance through the fence just west of Lone Oak Rd. which provides access to Kuebler Blvd. from Khyber Ct. (See pictures below). If this entrance remains and becomes a part of the widening process, a concrete incline would have to be built with no more than a 7% drop down to Kuebler. The current drop is 3 feet. Because of the 7% requirement, this new concrete incline would have to be up to 60 feet wide. This change would be required because of A.D.A. laws. If this entrance is eliminated, some adjacent personal property would not have to be purchased, and the City would save approximately $35,000. It has been suggested that walking or riding around the small block, adjacent to that entrance, is a short walking distance and that many people already use that alternative. If you have any concerns or disagreements with the idea of eliminating this entrance, please feel free to contact SGNA and/or come to our December 10th meeting. Our Transportation Committee will be considering this issue over the next few weeks. - Pat O’Dell All residents, property owners, business licensees, and representatives of nonprofit organizations who reside or conduct business within the boundaries of the association are welcome to post suggestions and feedback here.
