Due to ongoing issues with the functionality of the key fob system, the Board of Directors has decided to remove the key fob lock systems and replace them with actual key locksets.  We will be issuing physical keys and taking back the original key fobs. 

This will affect all (3) pedestrian gates and all (5) pool gates.  Car remotes will remain unaffected. 

The vendor will replace the fob system on Friday, October 18, 2019.  This should only take one business day.

Accordingly, the Board will offer residents three opportunities to exchange their key fobs for actual keys:

Date                                                    Time                                             Location

Friday, Oct. 18th                             5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.                   Small Pool

Saturday, Oct. 19th                         7:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.                  Small Pool

Monday, Oct. 21st                           7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.                   Ricker Lounge
(board meeting)

If you can’t make the above times, then you will need to go to Optimum’s office in Irvine for the exchange:

OPTIMUM
230 Commerce, Suite 250
Irvine, CA  92602

The following is the procedure for exchanging the fobs for keys:

• Bring photo identification
• Know your address and/or building number
• Bring both key fobs – you can only get (1) physical key per each fob
• If you don’t have a key fob, you will not receive a physical key
• If you are disabled, please contact Mark Gardner to make special arrangements: call phone number (714) 508-9070 x227 or email him at MGardner@optimumpm.com

Thank You, the Board

“Making a Difference ……TOGETHER”

The Board has some exciting upcoming projects for Lakeside.  There are also two articles below regarding the streams & landscape, and more information on the use of barbeques.  Please read at your earliest convenience.  This post will discuss our new painting project. 

It has been five years since the completion of our refurbishment project, and it is time to re-paint our buildings and metal fences.  This must be done on a timely basis to not only protect our investment, but to also maintain the aesthetic of our complex.  After speaking with four vendors, we have chosen EmpireWorks based out of Irvine.  They will begin work on Tuesday, July 9, 2019, and we estimate completion by October/November pending weather conditions and resident cooperation.

They will begin work at Building 10641, and work their way clockwise around our complex toward the center, and end at building 10610.  We will use the same or similar colors, and Empire will post notices 48-72 hours before performing work.

EmpireWorks will set up an on-site office starting Monday, July 8th using the four guest spots in the corner by 10641-G.  They will post notices prior so residents will know not to park there.  If your car is still parked in this area on July 8th, we might have to tow it.  The Board asks for cooperation in this matter. 

General scope of work summary includes:

Building Wood Trim and Doors Only
Shutters, Beams and Posts
Entry Doors and Frames
Utility Doors and Frames
Wood Trim, Window Trim, Decorative Wood Trim
Siding, Eaves and Fascia
Balcony Railings (not the deck)
First Story Patio Wrought Iron Fencing
Catwalk Belly Band
Catwalk Wood Railings and Top Caps, Stair Stringers

Common Area Site Items and Carport Wood Only
Carport Wood Trim, Ceilings, Cabinets, and Block Support Posts – we will notify residents ahead of time  (residents will need to vacate their carport spot for only 1 day while a carport section is worked on)
Trash Enclosure Doors
Vehicle Gates
Pool Wrought Iron Fencing
Perimeter Iron Fencing and Pedestrian Gates
Mailbox Structures (2) – excludes pool building & carport stucco
Pressure washing all stucco surfaces
Stucco will not be painted, but will patch minor areas and touch-up stucco as needed

EmpireWorks will also allow access to their website at www.empireworks.com where you can see live updates on this project to keep everyone on the same page.  Please see “General Notice” for that information.  FAQ sheet and a project map are also below:

 General Notice (July 2019)

 FAQ Sheet (July 9, 2019)

 Lakeside Project Map (Starting July 9, 2019)

RESIDENTS WILL NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

Remove ALL items attached to the balcony railing & posts – including all plants, and any mesh barriers

Remove ALL items attached to the patio railing – including all plants, and any mesh barriers

Remove ALL items attached the walls and/or roof trim such as lights  (nothing should be attached to the fascia anyway)

Most importantly – remove ALL storage items like garden supplies, house supplies, containers, etc…  (should not be there anyway)

When EmpireWorks gets to your building, you’ll need to move all items (such as patio furniture) to the center of the balcony or patio (or put inside your unit) … and allow two feet or so for the workers to paint

EmpireWorks will do their best to cover any plants and/or additional items.

THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO CLEAN OFF BALCONIES AND/OR PATIOS … as our rules have been updated, and the Board will have no choice but to issue violation letters and/or impose fines on those residents refusing to comply.

If you have any questions, though, please feel free to come to our next board meeting … or contact our property manager, Mark Gardner, at Optimum Professional Property Management:

The Board thanks you in advance for your cooperation.

The Board just met this past week with both our waterscape and landscape vendors.  We would like to share with you these updates …

Each year, we ask our stream vendor (Advanced Aquatics) to clean out the streams, inspect the stream beds & pumps, and then fill them in with new water.  However, this year they found some serious defects in the stream beds near the large pool.

Our streams beds were first built in 1982, and they have lasted a long time.  However, the cost to repair the affected stream beds will exceed $100,000.  As a result, the Board has decided instead to fill in these areas with dirt and install new landscape material to create a park/green area.  This will not only save us on the repairs, but also lower both our water and electric bills.  Additionally, residents will have a nice area to enjoy a picnic or read … and take in the nature that separates Lakeside from other communities.

Advance Aquatics will drain the remaining water from the streams in this area beginning the week of 6/24/19.  They will work in conjunction with our landscape vendor, Villa Park, to begin the process of converting the affected areas.  Part of this process, though, will involve removing the tree that sits between building 10541 and the large pool.

Unfortunately, the roots of this beautiful tree have intruded into the stream bed and caused it to crack.  Hence, the need for repairs in this area.  So, we will need to remove the tree, and bring out the stream edge about three feet.  Also, we will need to remove the two trees that sit between the large pool and the bathroom as part of our upcoming clubhouse project.  Normally, we wouldn’t have to do that until later on, but it will be much cheaper to remove all three trees at once versus removing them piecemeal.  Removing trees is never an easy decision, but we must when it’s a necessity.  See diagram below.

After speaking with both Advance Aquatics and Villa Park, we estimate the completion of this project to be December 2019.  In the meantime, the Board will be meeting with both vendors frequently to not only keep tabs on the progress but to also assist in planning the new areas. 

In addition, there is a pump between building 10610 and 10620 that has been very loud (and another pump that is starting to be loud nearby).  To save money on new pumps, Advance Aquatics will transplant the good pumps near the large pool (that won’t be surrounded by water any longer) … and install them where the loud pumps are.  This will save us money on new pumps, and also save time on waiting for new pumps to arrive.

If you have any questions, though, please feel free to come to our next board meeting … or contact our property manager, Mark Gardner, at Optimum Professional Property Management:
