The Just Family Cemetery is close to Hole #7 on Persimmon Ridge Golf Course, andElmore Just is buried in the Cemetery. Any golfer that birdies the 7th hole ofPersimmon Ridge takes their ball and places it on Elmore’s gravesite.
The summer after Elmore Just died, his widow, Lawren Just, was walking through the dining room at Persimmon Ridge Golf Club. “One of the members said, ‘Elmore got my golf ball on the seventh hole today.'” Lawren knew that the family cemetery was well away from the green and said “Oh, gosh, you hit that far right?’ And he said, ‘No, I birdied the seventh hole.’" And she looked at him kind of funny. Little did the golfer know that he started a new tradition. Whenever a golfer birdies the seventh hole atPersimmon Ridge, they leave a ball on Elmore’s grave.
The parking lot at the pool will be seal coated on Tuesday, April 29 with striping the next day. Please avoid parking in the parking lot on April 29 and 30 to allow them to complete the project without barriers.
Note: the second HOA Dues Payment deadline is May 1. Anyone with an outstanding balance or violation after May 1 will lose access to all amenities including the pool, playground, tennis/pickleball courts, and the neighborhoodFacebook page until the balance is brought up to date and/or the violations removed.
The PR HOA Board is excited to announce that the new fence project has been completed for the pool and entrance to the playground. We are in the process of planning for the installation of a key fob system to access the playground, pool, and tennis courts. All homeowners in Persimmon Ridge have access to these amenities by paying their HOA dues each year.
The new key fob system will allow homeowners, who are current on their dues and have paid any fines, access to the playground, pool, and tennis courts by using their key fob to unlock the gates. Each lot owner will receive ONE key fob and has the ability to purchase a second key fob. The new key fob policy and process will be outlined in an upcoming email blast.
The Board has approved allowing residents of the Overlook to pay the following rates to use PR amenities:
Swings have been added to the playground and can now be used! We appreciate everyone's patience as we completed the playground project.
PLEASE NOTE: For all homeowners with an outstanding balance OR an outstanding violation on their account after May 1, 2025, access to the pool, playground, tennis courts, and the Persimmon Ridge Facebook page will be revoked until the account is brought up to date and current on all dues and violations, including any assessed fines. The amenities (including Facebook) are only available to current residents of Persimmon Ridge.
At the March board meeting, there was discussion around allowing mailboxes that matched the materials on the home, such as brick or stone, in Persimmon Ridge outside of the estate lots. That motion was approved and residents can now build mailboxes made out of brick, stone, or other materials that match the home. All designs and materials need to be approved by the ARC prior to beginning construction.Please submit the Architectural Review Form to Cornerstone.

We currently have an Events Coordinator position open on the board for 2025. TheEvents Coordinator would manage the Thunder over Persimmon Ridge firework event coming up in July as well as several other events later in the year, such as the SantaVisit and Light Decorating Contest. Please note that if we do not have an EventsCoordinator, then these traditions are in jeopardy of not continuing for 2025. The current board is at capacity and does not have the ability to manage these events.

Community Reminders
The annual Yard Sale is scheduled for Saturday, April 26 from 8am-2pm! If you are planning to participate in the yard sale, please promote it to other groups and pages so we can get the most people out as we can!
Reminders as we head into Spring...
Here are a few reminders for homeowners as we move into the warmer months of the year.
Cornerstone will be conducting a drive through in June to look for any dead trees that need to be removed. Letters will be sent out to any owner who has a dead tree on a lot. Dead or dying trees are dangerous and should be removed. Folks should evaluate their lot for dead or dying trees and work toward having them removed in the next couple months.
Please remember that continuous or habitual on-street parking is prohibited per theCC&Rs in Section 4. Notices will be sent out to lot owners where this is occurring regularly. Please be respectful of your neighbors as this can create difficulty with getting out of driveways and having trucks make deliveries. This is also a safety hazard as this can prevent firetrucks or other emergency vehicles from making it through to reach an emergency in a timely manner.
The PR Board conducts bi-monthly meetings. The next meeting is scheduled forTuesday, November 12 at 6:00pm. There is always an opportunity for residents to attend the open session at the beginning of the meeting to discuss whatever topic anyone wants to bring to the board's attention. In order to get on the agenda for the next meeting, please contact Cornerstone at melinda@contactcornerstone.com.
Please make sure if you are planning any change to the exterior of your home to fill out the Architectural Review Form that can be found on Cornerstone’s website (examples include a fence, playground set, fire pit, deck, dumpster etc). This includes if you will have a dumpster on site for any project for any amount of time.
Once Melinda receives your application, the process usually only takes a few days to complete. She works closely with all applicants to ensure the Architectural ReviewCommittee (ARC) has what they need to evaluate your project for a successful result. Click here to access the form on Cornerstone's website.
