IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
PLEASE DRIVE 25
As Caldera Springs comes to life this summer with
outdoor activities and recreation, we ask owners and
guests to please be cautious when driving through
the property. Be courteous of the many families
walking and riding bikes throughout the community,
and remember that the speed limit is 25 MPH.
REMINDER FOR PET OWNERS:
• Doggie restroom stations are available in both
Ponderosa Park and Sable Rock Park for your
convenience.
• Please remember all dogs must be on a leash.
PARKING REMINDER
• Up to 4 cars allowed in the drive way
• No road-side parking
• Trailers, campers, etc. are not allowed to be parked
in Caldera Springs. Hammertime Hardware offers
secure parking for all types of recreational vehicles.
Contact them at
541-593-8168 for pricing and parking availability.
Keep Caldera Springs Native:
HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF
NOXIOUS WEEDS
Protect your property by destroying noxious weeds and
saving native vegetation. Weeds invasive to our area include
diffuse knapweed, Scotch thistle, orange hawkweed and
many more. As owners, you are responsible for pulling
these weeds from your property. The earlier in their growth
process you pull them, the better off you will be!
If you see them in community areas, please contact Kathleen
Pope at 541-593-4852. For more pictures and information,
please review the Deschutes County Noxious Weeds Control
Page at http://www.deschutes.org/ Road/Noxious-WeedProgram/Noxious-Weed-Control.aspx.

SQUIRREL! TI’S THE SEASON
According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife,
as the weather gets warmer squirrels become much more
active. Here are some tips to prevent conflicts and address
concerns about squirrels:
Don’t Feed Squirrels.
• Squirrels that are fed by humans can lose their fear of
people and become aggressive when they don’t get
food as expected.
HOW DO YOU STAIN A BRIDGE OVER A LAKE?
YOU BUILD A BOAT OF COURSE!
When it came time to stain the suspension bridge over
Caldera Springs, Webfoot Painting owners Gavin and Travis
had to think outside of the box.
A canoe or kayak would be too unbalanced and wouldn’t
allow for a proper work platform. And, there was not a boat
ramp available for a larger vessel.
What better an opportunity for them to have a little
fun! So how many buckets does it take to keep a grown
man and tools afloat? (See all of the photos from Webfoot
Painting on their Facebook Page: http://on.fb.me/1SyOTcs)
GATE REMINDER:
HARPER GATE
The Harper Road gate, which
connects the community to the
Sunriver Business Park, is designated
for Caldera Springs owner use
only. The intention of this gate is
to provide owners with convenient
access to the post office and other
businesses in that area.
In an effort to limit traffic to
owners only, the key pad at this gate
has been removed. A transponder
will be necessary to enter the
community at this gate moving
forward. If you need a transponder,
please contact Kathleen Pope.
• Remove bird feeders if squirrels are a problem.
Eliminate Access to Buildings.
•
Repair or replace loose or rotting siding, boards and
shingles.
• Inspect attic and crawl spaces during the day so cracks
and holes are illuminated. Close openings to buildings
with heavy ¼ to ½ inch wire mesh.
•
Cover the dryer vent with a commercial vent screen
designed to exclude animals without clogging lint.
• Install approved roof-vent caps that are designated to
exclude squirrels.
• Trim limbs and trees to 6 to 8 feet away from buildings to
prevent squirrels from jumping onto roofs.
Gate Directory Access
The gates at Dancing Rock Loop
and Trailmere Circle are equipped
with a community directory and
communication system that allows
your guests to call you directly from
the gate. This system also allows you
to open the gate remotely from your
phone.
To protect the integrity of your
personal gate access code, we
strongly encourage all residents to
utilize this service. If you would like
to be added to the directory, please
provide Kathleen Pope with the
name and telephone number you
would like to utilize.
Gate Codes
The Owners Association will be
changing the way gate access codes
are assigned. As part of this process,
we would like to ask owners to please
select a new 4-digit access code,
and provide it to Kathleen Pope by
June 8th. One code will be assigned
per property. To open the gate once
the new code is activated, press the
“#” button followed by your 4-digit
access code on the keypad.
Please remember that this access
code is intended for immediate
family use only. Guests visiting you
at your home should contact you via
the gate directory so you may open
the gate for them remotely.
If you have a guest staying in your
home for an extended stay, please
contact the Lake House Concierge
at 541-593-4851 for a temporary
access code.
