The mandatory annual fees are stipulated in an encumbrance registered against the title of each lot sold in Cooper’s Crossing.  The purpose of the fees is to manage the amenities of the community (i.e. community signage, parks/greenspaces) that the City wouldn’t maintain to the developer’s standards and to fund community enhancement projects and events as determined by the Cooper’s Crossing Residents’ Association (CCRA). This includes such items as the production of a community newsletter, installing Christmas lights throughout Coopers, organizing/advertising of the annual garage sale, Movie in the Park events and additional park maintenance over and above the regular maintenance performed by the City of Airdrie Parks department.

In 2019 residences adjacent to public green-space will pay $75.00 including GST per year with all other residences paying a rate of $57.00 including GST per year. These rates are subject to increase for inflation based on the annual consumer price index for the City of Calgary on January 1st of each year. Resident Association Fees are paid on an annual basis and are due in January of each year.

NOTE: Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) stipulates that any organization that brings in over $50,000.00 must pay GST on this amount. This GST is included in your Association Fee(s).

This option was available in the past, however it was too onerous to manage, so is no longer available.

In the past, homeowners and banks did not necessarily inform Astoria Asset Management or the Cooper’s Crossing Residents’ Association of home sales and money was still automatically being withdrawn from the old homeowner’s account.  In addition, we also found homeowners changed banking information without informing us which resulted in NSF fees.

Astoria Asset Management Ltd. has been hired to administer the collection of annual fees.

Payment of your Residents’ Association Fees (RAF) may be paid by mailing cheque, bank draft or money order to Astoria Asset Management at the following address: #202, 150 Edwards Way NW Airdrie, AB T4B 4B9.

Association fees may also be paid through Astoria’s NEW online payment portal (Yardi Café).  This online portal allows residents to pay their RAF fees using credit and debit services or via automatic withdrawal from their bank. Your should have received a letter to your residence in March/April of 2019 explaining how to access and pay your fees using the Yardi Café. If you did not receive this email, please contact Kara at Astoria.

You may also pay via e-transfer payment. Please send e-transfer to Ann at Astoria Asset Management: ann@astoriamanagement.ca; Security word:  astoria.  Please include what the transfer is for: i.e. Residents’ Association Fees and also include your address.

If you require assistance with the Yardi online portal, or have questions regarding payment of the RAF, please contact Kara at Astoria.

All wood screen fencing facing public streets or parks must be stained the colour “Beachwood” by Cloverdale. The exterior SOLID STAIN is available at Cloverdale Paints in Airdrie (Sharkskin-Solid Stain (product #7240101)/colour EX202, with a 30% discount offered to AMA members) or at Airdrie Paint & Blinds (Arborcoat-Solid Stain/Colour EX202 on file in their system under “Cooper’s Crossing”).

The City is responsible for road, alley and park maintenance, including snow removal on pathways and roadways.

The Cooper’s Crossing Residents’ Association does enter into an annual contract with the City of Airdrie to augment the parks maintenance (i.e. planting additional annuals/perennials and weeding shrub beds).

Contact the City of Airdrie Public Works department at 403-948-8415 for questions regarding maintenance and snow removal on roads. You may wish to review the City of Airdrie’s Snow and Ice Management page first as it provides great information related to the City’s priorities for streets and determines where to apply winter maintenance materials.

For traffic issues such as parking or speeding on public roads contact Municipal Enforcement at 403-948-8892.

Contact the City of Airdrie Parks department at 403-948-8400 for questions/concerns regarding snow removal on pathways, weeding, grass/trees, and irrigation.

We have a volunteer whose role it is to liaise with the City of Airdrie. If you have specific concerns that you would like the liaison to discuss with the City, please send an email to: parks@cooperscrossingresidents.com.

Sound fencing must be constructed on public property, with the inside face of the fence on the property line.

During the design process a sound attenuation analysis is required for any residential development bordering arterial roadways or highways. Sound fencing is required in areas where the noise analysis demonstrates a sound fence must be installed and must follow the sound fence requirements.

The City of Airdrie assumes structural maintenance of the sound fence and cosmetic responsibilities on the City side of the fence.

As a Residents’ Association, we work to build a strong sense of community among residents in Cooper’s Crossing. We accomplish this by planning community events for our residents, enhancing the beautification of our community through initiatives such as increased parks maintenance (through a paid contract with Parks), planting of summer flowers, installing Christmas lights and by ensuring the encumbrances/caveats of properties in Cooper’s Crossing are adhered to (shed and fencing standards).

We do not have any control over roadways (i.e. snow clearing, speed limits), pathways (i.e. snow clearing, repair), parks irrigation, bylaw enforcement (i.e. parking complaints, snow removal complaints, animal complaints, noise complaints), or disputes amongst neighbors.
