Message from
the President Pro Tem
I hope everyone is getting a comfortable foothold on 2015. My name is Rick
Sulka. I am currently the President Pro Tem for your Sherwood Forest Homeowners Association. My wife Diane and I have lived in Sherwood Forest since
1999. I would like to thank Tom Bramson for his time serving as recent
President of the HOA and wish him and his family the best with their adventure
to Colorado. Tom claims he will be back and they have kept their Sherwood
Forest home as a rental for now. We look forward to the return of Tom and his
family.
Elections will take place at the annual meeting Wednesday March 25, 2015. We
invite ALL interested residents to run for a seat on the Board (please refer to
the enclosed flier). Anyone running must be in good standing with the SFHOA
and have paid their 2015 annual dues. It is our goal to make 2015 our largest
paid membership, since the organization of the SFHOA in 1994. Since the
annual dues are our primary means of fundraising, your support and participation are VERY important to the community. You can pay your dues online at
www.sherwoodforesthoa.org, or by mailing in the insert enclosed. You will be
able to pay your dues at the front desk entrance of the meeting.
2014 was an eventful year. Along with celebrating the Twentieth Anniversary of the SFHOA, we encountered issues that truly brought the community together. Thanks to the countless hours and effort of the SFHOA board and
volunteers, we were able to accomplish many goals but there is always much
more that we can do. We need folks to run for the board and volunteers are
always welcome.
The SFHOA Board looks forward to meeting all of you at our upcoming
general meeting on March 25th. We are very excited about the guest speakers
who will be attending and hope that they will give all of you more insight on
how your involvement in the community directly affects us living in Sherwood
Forest. As you can see, by reading the meeting agenda, we will also be discussing some very important issues such as; voting on the revision of our By-Laws
and an important update on our continued lawsuit against the proposed
eldercare facility. Your thoughts and opinions on these issues are very important and we welcome your input and ideas on how we can continue to serve
Sherwood Forest as we move towards our next twenty years!
— Rick

Agenda for the meeting:
Vote to Approve revised SFHOA By-Laws.
Our By-Laws were last revised in 1995. Since that

and also changes in how our corporation operates
and does business. We need to make changes in
the existing bylaws to comply with current law
and current business practice. There are also
changes we would like made in the present bylaws
in order to make our operations easier in the
future, based on our years of experience. The
Board has viewed and approved these revisions,

Eldercare Lawsuit Update
Sherwood Forest resident Fred Selan and his attorneys continue
to vigorously pursue the right to build a 112 unit, 60,000+
square foot commercial eldercare facility in the midst of our
rural-residential community. The SFHOA Board and its
attorneys have expended countless hours and substantial funds
opposing the project. Mr. Selan’s appeal of the North Valley
Area Planning Commission’s decision in favor of the SFHOA
is set for trial on March 28. Meanwhile, donations to the
Eldercare Legal Fund are critically needed to continue to
protect the interest of the community.

We’re Looking
for the next
Homes of
the Months
Each month we would like to recognize 2 homes – one
north of Parthenia & the other south – that best showcase the character & tradition of Sherwood Forest. Our
selections are subjective in nature & have no bearing on
size, design or market value. If you feel that you know of
a home that shows a special pride in ownership, please
email us your nomination. Winning homes will be showcased on our website & in the fall newsletter.
(Officers & Directors of the SFHOA are not eligible)
Just Where IS Sherwood Forest
The boundaries of the 1100 single-family
homes that comprise Sherwood Forest are:
Nordhoff to the North
Balboa to the East
Lindley to the West
The RR tracks to the South
Sherwood Forest –
Who Are We?
There has been a lot of discussion about just HOW our
neighborhood got its name. One of the most popular
rumors has been that the 1939 movie, “The Adventures of Robin Hood” was filmed here. Unfortunately,
this is not only a rumor, but a myth. In 1938, we were
just another of the many orange groves in the Valley.
No room for Errol Flynn & his Merry Men to roam &
hide from Prince John or the Sheriff of Nottingham!
So how & why are we Sherwood Forest? The SFHOA
has been working with the newly located, Museum
of the San Fernando Valley to find the answer. But
we need YOUR help! We know that there are still
original residents living here…and many descendants
who continue to live in the family home. Do you have
deeds, contractor’s paperwork, blueprints or pictures
as well as interesting neighborhood stories? We want
to hear from you! Drop us a line on our Message
Board. This information will be published in future
newsletters & on our website.
Additionally, The Museum is interested in making
copies of whatever you have for their collection. As
Michel Stevens, Chair, Marketing & Development for
The Museum, has said: “We have absolutely nothing
on the history of Sherwood
Forest. But
we welcome any
& all materials
that may help
you & us
solve this mystery & add to
The Museum’s
collection of
Northridge
history”.

NORTHRIDGE SPARKLE
By Andrea Alvarado
What is Northridge Sparkle
Campaign?
exterior. Additionally, we are planning to
paint the wall at Pro Tires, the bridge on
Reseda, as well as getting the business
owners involved in painting their buildings.
More planters and flowers are designated for
our Main Street. New restaurants and retail
stores are planned at 8700 Reseda Blvd. The
recycling center and 99¢ Store issues are
being addressed. And, of course, more
clean-up is being planned for spring 2015.
Northridge Sparkle began as a group of
Neighborhood Watch citizens concerned
about the condition of their once loved
community - an Old Downtown Northridge
- once thrived. The Hollywood Colony vied
to live here; the city was considered a
semi-rural gem. But, now, businesses were
moving out, & our main street, Reseda Blvd,
had been shot in the chest by a now defunct
BID that left the community in ruin.
Who are the group’s representatives?
Andrea Alvarado does networking, organization and marketing. Don Larson, is the
owner of the Das Bauhaus Apartment
Complex. His family goes back generations!
In fact, his Great, Great Grandfather helped
build the Norwegian Lutheran Church at
18531 Gresham (now owned by a Korean
Congregation). He’s the Paul Bunyan on the
street, networker and organizer. Bruce
Russell works as a Realtor at Pinnacle Estate
Properties, Inc., and has been a major
marketing contributor, sign designer and idea
man. Chris Sales is President of Northridge
South Neighborhood Council and has
stepped in as the acting head of Northridge
Vision. He is the engine that could and keeps
everything moving. Roger Dolin is Director
of Public Art Initiative for the Museum of
the San Fernando Valley and has been
instrumental in bringing art into our neighborhood. Tom Baker works for The Walt
Disney Company, (although he is not a rep of
Northridge Sparkle) has been instrumental in
saving the cement planters placed on Reseda
Blvd. by the late BID. He single handedly
grew succulents, placed them in each planter
from Roscoe to Plummer and is the only
individual who waters them. All of these
people, have contributed out of pocket money
to bring back the pride of a once famous
town that was... and is coming back, as a nice
place to live.
What has the team done?
We first started by just cleaning the street
with only seven at the helm. The organization now has over 100 volunteers who come
out and help, with even more who have financially contributed to the cause. Some of our
accomplishments: Tree wells have been
dug-up, cleaned out and new foliage planted.
Planter boxes have been erected, broken
sprinkler systems fixed and the Northridge
Village signs created with antique posts.
Yellow benches were saved and repainted as
well as cement planters revamped and
succulents deposited. Red curbs and yellow
hydrants were painted. The railroad underpass on Reseda was totally refurbished to
eliminate pigeon droppings. The beautiful
murals were cleaned of dirt & graffiti.
Healthy trees were trimmed & dead ones
removed. Painted designs on brick walls and
garage doors invite fun & conversation. The
whole “Welcome Package” design for Reseda
Blvd. has been instrumental in bringing in
new developers & new businesses. We are
most proud of the historical mural on Rayen
& Reseda. But the work continues! More
fundraisers and art shows will continue to
be produced.
What’s ahead for the future?
Northridge Sparkle is working with Mayor
Eric Garcetti and the non-profit design
organization, MAS, to “parklets” as a way of
creating a dynamic pedestrian-friendly
environment on Reseda Blvd. CSUN Urban
Planning is creating a demonstration model
of plans focusing on the northeast corner of
Parthenia and Reseda Blvd to show at our
next Northridge Sparkle celebratory event.
An American flag will be erected at the
Reseda Blvd median near Parthenia. Art
trash bins are ready for placement. A
community and school building mural
project has been approved and is scheduled
to be located at Galaxy Auto Sound, 8956
Reseda Blvd. More historical murals are
planned for the new Sharkey’s interior and
Northridge Sparkle has the community’s
back! The year 2015 will bring lots of new
surprises and changes on Reseda Blvd. in
Northridge. Our Wish List continues to
grow, and now with the support of community leaders, we are able to gain momentum.
You can now make tax-deductible contributions. Make donations out to: North Valley
Community Fund, c/o Northridge Chamber
of Commerce, 9401 Reseda Blvd., Suite 100,
Northridge, CA 91324. In the subject box
indicate “Northridge Sparkle.”

Your Northridge South
Neighborhood Council at Work
B
By Chris Sales
ecause Northridge has already had its
groundbreaking Northridge Vision development plan recognized as the basis of any
future development plan, the area is already
ahead of the curve in recognizing the need
for thoughtful and sustainable urban development. One of the key forces in this civic
improvement process is your neighborhood
council, which walks the tightrope between
advocates of development and those of slow
growth. Working with local cultural and
stakeholder groups like the Museum of the
San Fernando Valley and Northridge
Sparkle, we have supported new development projects while making sure that it is
pedestrian and bike friendly and appropriate
in scale.
In addition to the Vision program, Northridge has been designated as the site of the
first street in the Great Streets Initiative,
embracing Reseda Blvd from Parthenia to
Plummer.
Besides our current activities, your council is
looking to the future to see what we can do to
make the Northridge South area more
pedestrian and public transportation friendly.
Recently a project created by graduating
seniors in the CSUN Urban Studies and
Planning Department investigated a number
of traffic problems found in the area and made
some suggestions for their improvement.
Among the suggestions made was a plan for
additional access to the Metrolink Transit
Station from the north side of the tracks,
including a plan for an elevated crossover to
the station. Next they looked at ways to allow
safe pedestrian crossing on Parthenia and
Wilbur corridor access points where there
are no lights installed. Finally, they looked
into the possibility of bike and pedestrian
access along the Aliso Creek flood control
channel, with a first leg beginning between
Parthenia and Chase. All three of these
projects speak to the need to improve
pedestrian and transit access to our community, creating practical and pedestrian
friendly access.
Northridge is coming to life as a walkable,
retail friendly and family friendly neighborhood. One of the projects that reinforce this
new life and activity is the creation of
Northridge’s first historical mural, at the
corner of Reseda and Rayen.
The mural, by artist Kevin Cornelius, is
based on traditional orange crate art. Many
of the older citizens of Northridge will
remember when oranges were packed and
shipped in colorful crates, each packing
company having their own distinctive logo.
As a child I remember tiny, candy versions of
these orange crates that you would send to
relatives and friends as a souvenir of Southern California life.
The mural depicts the old Zelzah/Northridge
train station, which until the 1960s sat at the
northeast corner of Parthenia and Reseda
Blvd. Besides the station, the mural depicts a
traditional steam train, extensive citrus
groves as well as two horses, symbolic of
Northridge’s equestrian history. The mural’s
text celebrates the founding of Northridge,
called Zelzah at that time, in 1910. The mural
also depicts an early horseless carriage,
foreshadowing the importance of the car to
the San Fernando Valley in the years to come.
The opportunities of thoughtful development
along the Reseda Corridor from Roscoe to
Lassen, which supports and enhances our
medical, retail and education cores, is
something that will benefit all community
stakeholders. To view information on the
Great Streets Initiative, go to www.la.

Interesting Facts
about the Houses in
Sherwood Forest
Dave White, Rodeo Reality
Did you know that 38 homes were
sold in Sherwood Forest during
2014? The highest price home sold
at $1,120,000, as a “standard sale”
and the lowest price sold at
$420,000 as a “short sale fixer”. Of
the 38 sales 4 were short sales.
Another interesting fact: Did you
know that of the 1100 homes in the
Forest, 761 of them have pools and
101 are two stories. Also, when most
people think of Sherwood Forest,
they think of the huge lots, but of
our 1100 homes, 151 of the lots are
less than 15,000 sq ft!

Hey Kids (and those still Young at Heart)
Did you know that many of the streets within Sherwood Forest
were named after famous people in Los Angeles & California
history? For instance, Amestoy was named after Domingo
Amestoy, who was a French Basque immigrate who came to
Los Angeles from Argentina in 1851. He and his sons owned
Encino Ranch where they raised sheep. The property stayed in
the family from 1889 until 1944.
Do you know who YOUR street was named after? Why don’t
you do some detective work and let us know what you find!
Send your message to our email (hoa@sherwoodforesthoa.
org) and we’ll print your story in our fall newsletter and on our
website! Good Luck!
The Sherwood Forest Mom’s Group (SFMG)
Whatever happened to the Sherwood Forest Mom’s Group?
Well, the simple answer is that children grow up & so do the
interests of their moms. This means that somewhere along the
line, this social group faded away. However, with the influx of
new residents with small children, maybe the time has come to
re-start this social group. Some of the activities that the SFMG
enacted were play groups & monthly mom’s night out. If
anyone is interested in revising this group, drop us a line at the
Sherwood Forest message board & will we’ll give you some
guidance from some previous Mom’s Members.
LAPD Basic Car Meetings
Every 2 Thursday of each month, Devonshire Division’s Lead
Officer hosts a meeting of local residents to discuss recent crime stats
& ways of protecting ourselves, our property & our neighborhood.
Guest speakers & refreshments are served. This month we welcome
our new Lead Officer, Efren Corral. Sherwood Forest has a long
standing relationship with Devonshire Division – But we ALL need
to stay informed & involved. Why not join your neighbors at the next
upcoming meeting. We meet at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox
Church, 9501 Balboa, at 7:00. Remember, Sherwood Forest is only as
safe as our residents make it!

Parthenia Eldercare
Facility Trial
Trial March 27 - Community
Action Needed!
Sherwood Forest and other Valley residents
opposed to a 60,000+ square foot, 112 unit
commercial assisted living facility in the
middle of our community should plan to
attend the upcoming trial in this matter. Mr.
Selan is asking the Court to overturn the
North Valley Area Planning Commission’s
ruling in favor of the community and
reinstate the Zoning Administrator’s decision
that would allow him to build a huge elder
warehouse on his residential-zoned
property. The SFHOA has spent considerable time, effort and money fighting
this battle on YOUR behalf. It now needs
your support at this very important
hearing. The trial will be held on March
27 at 9:30 am in Department 86 of the
Los Angeles Superior Court located at
111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA
90012. We hope to see you all there!

CSUN Parking
The SFHOA has written letters to CSUN, Councilman Mitch
Englander and the LA Department of Transportation. As many of
you know we have been blocked in by the city placing 1 hour
parking restrictions like the sign in this photo. We were told by
the Councilman’s office that extending a current district would be faster than trying
to establish a new district. We asked DOT to extend District 65 which is West of
Lindley and South of Nordoff into Sherwood Forest in September 2014. Councilman
Englander’s letter to DOT requesting this extension was written soon afterward. We
recently followed up with DOT on this issue and was told it would take at least 1 year
for them to get to the research required to extend the permit parking. In the meantime
you can ask for 1 side of the Street to be released from the 1 hour parking if you want
to. It will not affect the permit process, the permit parking will still be applicable to
both sides of the street. CSUN charges $180/semester or $90/fall & spring semester
for certain lots if paid before 2/15/15. One of the problems is that they can increase the
amount at any time during the semester. Please write to CSUN to voice your opinion
of their parking policy.
