Food Drive Underway

Welcome! As you consider the many areas in which you could purchase a home, undoubtedly one of the things which will strike you about Four Seasons is its feel. It feels safe, quiet and reflects that quality we term “pride of ownership.” The reason Four Seasons feels this way is because these are the qualities of this neighborhood, and it is one of the major functions of our Homeowners Association (HOA) to foster and promote those qualities which make Four Seasons such a desirable place to live.

The directors of our HOA welcome homeowner comments, questions and suggestions. The directors’ names and contact information can be found on the Contacts Page and in the monthly newsletter. We look forward to meeting and greeting you and extending our personal welcome to this special place we call Four Seasons.

October Newsletter

The October 31 issue of the Four Seasons HOA newsletter can be found here. It includes minutes from the October 20 Board meeting.

The previous edition, September 28, can be found here.

2027 Annual Assessments

The Board is preparing the 2027 Operating Budget, and will vote on the budget at the the November 17 meeting. Annual dues will be increasing a minimum of $25, but likely more once the reserves plan is finalized.

If more funds are needed in reserves, that requires the operating budget (and thus the annual dues) to increase.

The Board approved a one-time transfer to reserves of $40,000 to help with the reserves shortage and minimize the impact to the 2027 Operating Budget. Come to the November meeting if you are interested in reserves spending, the operating budget, and annual assessments!

HOA Food Drive

The flyer, above, explains a neighborhood program put together by the Association’s Social Chair, Vanessa Gomez-Baldwin.

The neighborhood is coordinating a food drive to donate durable goods to food pantries.

Please think of those less fortunate this holiday season and donate food if you can! The food collection box is on the sidewalk in front of the clubhouse.

Nutria Trapping Program

Due to several sightings of non-native nutria, which are detrimental to the creek restoration, the Association has restarted the nutria trapping program.

Please DO NOT DISTURB the nutria traps, whether empty or full, or interfere with our vendor, ABL Wildlife. It is a violation subject to enforcement, and it only serves to cost the HOA more money.

Four Seasons Neighborhood Assistance

The Four Seasons will be reinstating the Neighborhood Assistance program. Sometimes, neighbors need help with tasks like bringing their trash bins to/back from the curb or other simple errands or chores.

Stay tuned for information on how to sign up to help a neighbor in need, or request assistance.

Stay Alert for Scam Emails

The Board has been made aware of scam emails that appear to come from the HOA but were not sent by the Board or Shamrock Community Management. These messages are not from the Association.

An example is shown below. Note that the sender's name matches your Board President, but the email address is a misspelled Gmail account, not an official Association address. The message also creates urgency and asks the recipient to pay an invoice in exchange for reimbursement, which are common signs of a scam.

To protect yourself, please keep the following in mind:

Check the sender's email address, not just the name. Official Board emails come only from addresses ending in @fshoa.net or @fourseasonshoa.net, and Shamrock emails come from addresses ending in @shamrockcommunity.com. Scam emails often use a familiar name with a personal or unfamiliar email address.
Don't click links or open attachments in emails you weren't expecting or aren't sure about.
Don't pay anything requested by email other than the assessment invoices sent by Shamrock. The Board will not ask owners to pay vendors or advance funds on the Association's behalf.
If you receive an email you're unsure about, forward it to Shamrock at info@shamrockcommunity.com and we'll verify whether it's legitimate.
If you're concerned that you may owe money to the HOA, log in to the owner portal to check your account or contact Shamrock directly.

If you have any questions, please contact Shamrock at info@shamrockcommunity.com.

Pools Closed for Season

The pools are closed for the season! The Board extends a big thank you to Gregg Anderson for his diligent and outstanding work this past season.

The pools had almost no down time (once briefly for the spa and once briefly for the deep pool). The pool supervisor and monitors also deserve our gratitude for keeping a consistent schedule.

During the off season, Gregg will clean and organize the facilities, including getting rid of many items left at the pool. So if you left something at the pool and want it back, please contact Gregg ASAP at pools@fshoa.net. Gregg also will continue exploring options for automatic chemical feeders for the pools and for other items needing to be completed next year, including the resurfacing of both pools.

We hope you enjoyed the pool season this year! We always welcome input on ways to improve the pool season, so please contact Shamrock at info@shamrockcommunity.com if you have any suggestions.

$37,000 Creek Restoration Grant

The Association has received a Direct Financial Assistance grant of $37,500 from Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District (“TSWCD”). This grant requires a 25% match from the Association, either in cash or volunteer time.

This grant is the culmination of a couple of years of developing a relationship with TSWCD. We also were competitive for the grant because of the strong volunteer turnout for our planting efforts from the earlier grant that we received from TSWCD (the TWIG). So thank you to all the volunteers who helped demonstrate the Association’s members’ commitment to improving our creek area! And this is in no small part because of the hard work of the creek committee, particularly Elaine McDonald, Tami Katz, and Ryan Baldwin, plus efforts from our President Nicholle Winters, and the work of Michael Keiser in creating a dedicated creek webpage, which TSWCD specifically noted as a plus demonstrating the Association’s dedication to keeping the members informed and showing the results of the creek restoration efforts.

The grant not only provides funds for three years, but TSWCD will provide support and assistance throughout the project. This includes helping with project planning, plant selection, vendor selection and interaction, and other efforts. The Association also will be working with Native Plantscapes Northwest on the design and implementation. Stay tuned for further updates—via the newsletter, email listserv, and the Creek website page, here. If you are willing to help out with future creek efforts, please use the Volunteer signup page, here, and click on the “creek restoration” option. We will then reach out as projects arise.

Become an HOA Volunteer

Volunteers are the life blood of the Four Seasons HOA, and we need your help!

Since the beginning of the HOA, volunteers have helped keep our neighborhood, our common areas, and our pools pleasant and attractive.

The Board and officers who help govern the HOA are all volunteers. We encourage people to run for the Board, but maybe you don't have time for that much involvement. You can still volunteer for smaller, but important, duties that require less commitment.

By volunteering, residents help reduce the cost of our annual assessment, keeping that fee as low as possible. Without volunteers, some tasks require paid help to complete or add to the burden of existing volunteers. Overburdening contributes to attrition and difficulty in recruitment of Board members.

If you are willing to help out the HOA, please submit the volunteer form on this page. Your neighbors and the HOA Board will thank you.

Shamrock contact information

Please contact Shamrock, the HOA management company, for issues you have in the neighborhood. If there is not a satisfactory resolution, then you should contact the Board, whose information is on the contact page.

HOA Responsibilities Outlined

Because of recent requests seeking Association action to address various alleged safety concerns that are outside of the scope of the Board's governance and general role of the Association, the HOA attorney has sent a letter to provide some clarity on the Board's appropriate role and responsibilities. Read it here.

Reminder about Signs

Message from the Board: As we enter a political season and the summer construction season, the Board reminds everyone of Article 5.11 of the CC&Rs. This provision provides that “no sign of any kind” may be placed on a lot without written ARC permission (including signs placed in windows), with the exception of certain security signs and for sale and for rent signs, as set forth in the HOA governing documents. This includes vendor signs promoting their roofing, painting, HVAC services, and the like. The Architectural Rules further explain the prohibition on signs. The CC&Rs and Architectural Rules are posted on the HOA website’s Key Documents page. (Posted May 27, 2026)

Board Job Descriptions

Updated Board job descriptions can be found here.

Tree Inventory

The HOA had an arborist prepare an inventory of all the trees for which the Association is responsible (meaning not within a sub-association or the delegated responsibility of specific owners through an easement). The HOA uses this inventory to prepare a three-year plan for tree maintenance (pruning for health and clearance, soil treatment, pest treatment, removal, etc.). The inventory and tree plan will be updated every three years. Click here for a map of the HOA tree inventory.

Keep Sidewalks Clear

Many homeowners in Four Seasons have gotten very lax in keeping plants and bushes from extending into sidewalks and curbs. Also, many trees are not maintained 8 feet above sidewalks and 12 feet above streets. Please be cognizant of these rules and make our sidewalks and streets more accessible.

Pertinent sections of the Four Season Architectural Rules:

Tree and Shrub Maintenance: Trees and shrubs must not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic on sidewalks and streets. Homeowners must keep the full width of the sidewalk clear for pedestrians. Homeowners must also keep clear a specific height above the sidewalk and street. The City of Beaverton and Four Seasons require that trees and shrubs be trimmed to provide a height of 8 feet of clearance over the entire sidewalk and 12 feet over the street.
Sidewalks and Driveways: Homeowners are responsible for maintaining the concrete and blacktop on their property. Sidewalks and driveways must be clear of moss and debris and free of uneven sections (e.g., raised by tree roots, broken surface, cracks), which may be hazardous to pedestrians, motorized scooters, wheelchairs, skateboarders, and so forth. Repair may be sufficient but replacement may be required for more serious problems. Sidewalks must also be clear of ivy, junipers, and any other ground cover or shrub. As stated above, sidewalks must be clear to 8 feet vertically and curbs must be clear for 12 feet vertically.

Homeowners Handbook

The handbook introduces you to the neighborhood and informs you how the HOA functions, the services it provides, and the opportunities available for you to get involved. The handbook is intended to be a useful resource. As such, it is a work in progress – updated versions will be posted as needed. You can find it here.

Parking

We have received some complaints about people regularly parking in front of other people’s houses and people with multiple vehicles regularly using up limited parking in cul-de-sacs and other locations. At this time the HOA does not have parking rules of this type, but please be courteous to your neighbors and respectful of everyone’s needs to use shared areas. Particularly during the holidays when people have family and other guests.

Leaves, Yard Debris, and Trash

Please remember the CC&Rs forbid blowing or dumping leaves and other yard debris on the common areas or street. The CC&Rs also forbid dumping trash on the common areas. Don’t invite additional charges against the HOA - that is also your money! Thank you.

Mailbox and vehicle safety

There has been an increase in mailbox and vehicle break ins in the neighborhood. Yard waste bins have also been reported missing. Please be vigilant, and take precautions to secure and protect your vehicles, mailboxes, and homes.
