UPDATE – LANDSCAPE

Posted on August 2, 2015 by Lakeside HOA in News, Refurbishment

The Board would like to thank all those who attended our last Homeowners’ Meeting.  As a reminder, our next meeting will be Monday, August 24, 2015.

The last couple of months have seen the end of the bulk of the refurbishment project with landscape being the last piece.  Given the size and scope of our community, landscape is by far the most elaborate aspect that is addressed.  The Board shares the frustration felt by residents who feel some areas of the complex still look too barren. In early July, Board members met with our vendor, Villa Park, and walked the complex.  We would like to offer this update:

Villa Park divides our community into four sections, visiting on Mondays and Fridays with a full four-person crew and a supervisor.  Each section is done in rotation as they prune and hedge plant material, check for proper irrigation, remove weeds and dead plants, sweep the walkways, and clear away any debris.

leaky hoseHowever, due to the ongoing drought, the city of Garden Grove has imposed watering restrictions.  So far, this hasn’t had a drastic affect on our complex in terms of watering.  But we do ask all first floor residents to check their outside water faucets to make sure they are completely turned off and not leaking.  Every little bit helps.

IMG_0698As for planting new material, the board first created a template beginning at the West side of building 10610 and working its way to the middle of building 10540 and 10560.  The plant palette chosen was designed to introduce color in certain sections to help offset the monotony of green.  Yellow Lantana and Star Jasmine are two of the most popular choices given their low maintenance and aesthetic appeal.

Villa Park is currently preparing some new plant palettes and ground cover options to review for the next section of our complex.  We are keeping in mind that ground cover needs to have a low-maintenance factor, be drought tolerant, and yet have visual appeal. Once approved, Villa Park can begin planting in the fall since the drought would make planting now very difficult.  We also ask residents not to plant their own ground cover as it must be approved first by the Board, and we want to keep all new plant material under warranty.

Another area we are addressing is the removal of dead and leaning trees, and the planting of new ones. This will be a process, however, as we are trying to keep as many healthy trees as we can.  Trees not only provide shade and shelter, but also help reduce sound while helping maintain a level of privacy for our residents.  Again, due to the drought, we will not begin planting until the fall.

Sprinklers are another area we are addressing.  In an effort to save water, we have capped and covered the sprinklers behind the carports.  Additionally, Villa Park has walked every area near our trash receptacles verifying which sprinklers to cap.  Ideally, we would like to keep only one sprinkler operational if necessary.

The Board asks all residents that if they see a bridge or walkway covered in water to report this to Optimum right away.  We have done several walks checking for mis-spraying sprinklers, but we could always use an extra set of eyes if you see one that needs to be adjusted.  At a later date, we will also review drip systems which will help us conserve water more extensively.

We would like to thank all residents for their patience, and rest assured we are working as quickly as possible to help improve and update the landscape.

Thank You.

UPDATE – REFURBISHMENT

Posted on February 27, 2015 by Lakeside HOA in News, Refurbishment

The Board would like to thank those who attended the last Homeowners’ Meeting.  As a reminder, our next meeting will be on Monday, March 16, 2015 at the church.

Del Mar Pacific has finished all the corrective work on the buildings this week.  They performed their final walks to verify all the work has been completed.

DMP still has to complete some tasks on the common areas such as the trash doors, consolidating left over materials, and painting the pool restroom doors.

Additionally, the crews are cross-checking the correction lists with the emails sent by owners to make sure nothing is missed.  There are just a few areas that need concrete removal and replacement which are currently being addressed.

Again, if you have any concerns, please contact Dale Meredith right away at DaleMeredith@dbuild.com.

The Board is also working on a very extensive list of things to be addressed and put on a regular maintenance schedule.  Once the list is ready, we will post updates on the home page and calendar.  Landscaping is being addressed in sections as our complex is rather large.  We will be updating you as work is progressing.

The new directory maps have been corrected and re-installed. 

Have a wonderful and safe St. Patrick’s Day!

UPDATE – REFURBISMENT

Posted on January 30, 2015 by Lakeside HOA in News, Refurbishment

The Board would like to thank everyone who attended the last Homeowner’s Meeting.  As a reminder, our  next meeting will be on Monday, Feb. 23rd at the church.

The crews are working very hard to finish the last of the punch lists.  There are six to nine buildings left to complete.  The contractor is expecting those to be completed by Feb. 13th.  Then the remaining concrete replacements and common area repairs will follow.

Here is a list of the buildings that have been completed so far:

10520, 10530, 10540, 10550, 10560, 10570, 10580, 10590, 10610, 10620, 10630, 10631, 10621, 10641, 10611 and 10601.

If you notice anything related to the refurbishment that still needs addressing, please contact Dale Meredith:

Email:  dalemeredith@dbuild.com

Copy Shannon Thornhill:  sthornhill@optimumpm.com

Phone:  949-250-3910

 

The storage units will very soon be available to rent.  There are just a few that need some repairs.

The rental fee will be $35.00 per month with a commitment for one year.  The units will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Please contact Shannon Thornhill at Optimum:  sthornhill@optimumpm.com.

After our recent rains, some patios experienced flooding.  We are working with our landscaping vendor on proposals to drain the water most efficiently, and prevent the issue from repeating.  Additionally, we are working on proposals for planting under the stairs as well as other areas of the complex.

As a reminder, our vendor begins trimming trees in January.  A second round of tree trimming will begin in April as certain trees are trimmed only at specific times of the year.  We are anxious to get Lakeside back onto a more stable tree-trimming schedule which will also help extend the life and overall health of our trees.

And the new directory maps have been revised, and should be ready next week. 

Have a wonder Valentine’s Day!  Thank You.

Update Refurbishment / Holiday Decorations

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Lakeside HOA in News, Refurbishment

The end of the refurbishment project is near as the final punch lists are being completed.  Below is an update on the refurbishment, information on hanging holiday decorations, and other items of note:

Refurbishment

The holidays are fast approaching just as the refurbishment is close to completion.  

We ask that all residents please examine your unit’s patio or balcony, entry way (near front door) , door frames, etc… to make sure all is ok.  If you notice any area that needs attention, please email Dale Meredith NO LATER THAN Wednesday, December 10th.  Also, please copy Shannon Thornhill:

Dale’s email:  dalemeredith@dbuild.com

Shannon’s email:  sthornhill@optimumpm.com

All requests must be received in writing (please no phone calls).  

Holiday Decorations

Many residents love to express their holiday spirit by decorating both inside and outside their home. Christmas lights have always been extremely popular as many residents will hang lights on either their balcony or patio.  However, please keep in mind the following:

1.  CCR’s allow lights to be displayed outside the unit between Nov. 24th and Jan. 15th

2.  Do not leave lights on during the day or when you’re not at home.

3.  Be mindful to avoid hanging any lights near flammable material.

4.  Please DO NOT PUT ANY NAILS into our new balconies or stair railings. 

Decorations can be displayed or affixed with non-adhesive materials found at the local hardware store. The new balconies were a major part of your investment, and we want to ensure they retain their beauty and appearance.

Mailboxes

As many residents on the North side have noticed, temporary mailboxes were installed near 10530.  The new mailboxes are still in production, and are due to be completed within 3 weeks or so.  The Board is still working on replacing three mailboxes at Buildings 10530, 10560, and 10611.  We hope to have this work completed as soon as possible.

Storage Unit Rentals

We have now secured all the keys to the storage units.  Next week the Board will begin to clean out all available storage units to prepare them for renting.  As a last reminder, if you have any personal items in one of these units, please remove them as soon as possible.  Otherwise, any items will be removed for disposal.

The rental fee will be $35.00 per month with a commitment for one year.  The units will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Please contact Shannon Thornhill at Optimum:  sthornhill@optimumpm.com.

Landscape

Landscaping is still in progress as we work through different layouts and options.  Areas near the West side of the small pool as well as near 10610 have newly planted shrubs.

The Board will have our vendor begin trimming trees in January.  A second round of tree trimming will begin in April as certain trees are trimmed only at specific times of the year.  We are anxious to get Lakeside back onto a more stable tree-trimming schedule which will also help extend the life and overall health of our trees.

Four new directories are now in place including one by the rear gate.  The frames have been newly bronzed and blend in well with our surroundings.

The Board wishes all residents a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving next week!

Update Mailboxes / Storage Closet Rentals / Refurbishment

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Lakeside HOA in News, Refurbishment

As many residents are aware, some of our mailboxes are in need of repair.  The Board is working on replacing three at Buildings 10530, 10560, and 10611.  The mailbox at 10530 won’t be ready for about 6-7 weeks, but a temporary mailbox will be installed this weekend.  Keys for the temporary boxes will be available for pick-up at the Post Office on Nutwood Ave. on the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 24th.

Many storage closets will soon be available for rent.  However, there are some that still contain residents’ personal belongings.  We ask that these belongings be removed no later than Nov. 3rd.  After that time, the closets will be cleaned out and all items therein will be removed for disposal.  If you are interested in renting a closet, there are still many available.  Please contact Shannon Thornhill at sthornhill@optimumpm.com.  

Right now, Design Build and Del Mar Pacific are walking each building checking for any issues that need to be addressed.  They follow what we call a “punch list” and note anything that needs further repair or maybe just a simple touch-up.  This will take some time, but the process itself is very thorough.

Some second floor balconies are difficult to access, and Dale Meredith is asking all residents with a balcony to contact his office and make an appointment to inspect them.  The inspection itself will only take 10-15 minutes.  He is available Monday thru Friday, 7am to 5pm.  Contact him either by phone or email:

Office phone:  949-250-3910
Email:
 dalemeredith@dbuild.com

New hardware is being installed/re-installed on the last of the utility doors and storage closet doors.

The new site plans are ready for the directories.  The sign subcontractor will install them at the same time he re-finishes the frames.  So you may see them all disappear for a couple days while this work is happening.  Thank you.

Special Assessment – Assignment Announcement

To: All Members Lakeside-Garden Grove HOA
From: Board of Directors

As many of you are aware, during the vote on the special assessment, we informed all owners that if they selected the payment plan option of paying the special assessment, they would have to pay the remaining balance at the time the unit is sold. This is because the Civil Code provides that all assessments, including special assessments, are the personal debt of the owner of the unit . . .      >>Read More
