Association Maintenance
If your village is not listed below, there is not a large-scale project occurring within your community. However, Public Works continues to address ongoing standard maintenance and landscape requests within each village.
• Village Glen Arden—The roof replacement project is still ongoing.
• Village Valle Vista—Fire Hardening Project delayed.
o For clarification and as accurately reported on notices distributed throughout Village Valle Vista –“During the start of the project, Posey Design & Construction informed management the majority existing vent holes needed to be modified to fit the new Vulcan Plug. Additionally, the original vents received from the manufacturer were sent as louvered and not screened. As a result, Ryan Bell met with Posey Design and Construction and created a revised plan to install and complete the vent project.”
o Schedule—A revised schedule will be provided to all residents in the village upon receipt of the new and correct mesh vents from the manufacturer
• Village Del Lago—A forensic roofing inspection will occur on October 23 and October 24. The roof inspection’s purpose is to examine the existing roof condition to best predict the roof replacement timing. The Public Works team along with a collection of vendors will conduct a random sampling of the 54 buildings in Del Lago. Roof tiles in the selected areas will be removed to examine the condition of the building paper and bat-ten underneath the tiles. Notices will be distributed to the specifically selected building residents and impacted units next week.
