Some Answers about the Resurfacing Project

Here are some answers to questions you may have regarding the upcoming paving project:

DeCamara will notify the following regarding services:

  • Mail delivery
  • Garbage pickup
  • FedEx/USPS/UPS deliveries
If you have any of the following interests, you will need to notify the appropriate individuals
  • Newspaper delivery
  • Purified water deliveries
  • Renters (although Earthworks will post notices and barricades)
  • Any other services specific to your home
Additional clarification regarding the specific schedule for Zanzibar and Uplands should be forthcoming via letter from DeCamara.  However, as soon as I learn any details I will post them on this blog spot.

Also, you may have noticed in the 10/30 letter from DeCamara that we are allowing street parking (EXCEPT IN RED ZONE AREAS) from when the project starts to November 26.  This is to allow the roads time to "dry" so that the chance of tracking tar onto driveways will be reduced.

Questions should continue to be directed to DeCamara Management, Maegan Vidal. Their phone number is 688-0500.  They also have contact feature on their web site:  http://www.decamarahoa.com/web/index.php.

IMPORTANT Paving Information from DeCamara


Here's advance information that I just sent out via email and that will be going out via snail mail.  We only have about 66 residences in our Uplands Directory, so feel free to mention the issue to your neighbors just in case they didn't get the email or monitor this blog.

The following is the updated letter you should have received via regular mail on 10/31/12.

RE: Asphalt repairs

Dear Homeowner,

Your Board of Directors has approved Earthworks for asphalt repairs, overlay and slurry.

The project will begin Monday, November 5, 2012, weather permitting.  The vehicle entrance will be clearly marked and barricaded.  Below is the schedule that Earthworks has provided for your information.  Please mark your calendars!

November 5th and November 6th, Earthworks will be onsite making repairs throughout various sections of the roads. Please be mindful of barricaded areas and workers.

On November 7th, November 8th and November 9th, Earthworks will begin an overlay on Lower Ventana Way. This will close Lower Ventana Way only during the day from 7:30AM to 6:00PM or until barricades are removed. There will be no ingress and egress of the driveway during this work. Only emergency vehicles will be allowed to enter if required. They will open up the roads each night.

Earthworks will slurry seal Ventana Way area on November 12th and on November 13th they will slurry seal Zanzibar Drive area. All roads will be closed and barricaded at 7:00AM and not open until 6:00PM, or until barricades are removed.  With the fire road gates open you may park in the opposite cul-de-sac on the date your side is sealed, and drive in and out of the other gate (walking through the fire road to get home).   Any vehicles that are left in the driveways or garages during this time will not be able to leave. Additionally, please do not use any water on street areas for at least 24 hours before and after the slurry seal. We ask that any irrigation turned off during this time. 

Vehicles may return to garages or driveways after barricades are removed by Earthworks. Any damage caused by disobeying and entering barricaded areas will be the full responsibility of the homeowner.

Please be cautious when walking on the pavement for up to 48 hours after this work.  Please be mindful of heavy equipment and where you are walking.  Do not enter any areas that are blocked off.  Additionally, please pay close attention to children and pets in the construction area.  Also,

please note that you may want to remove your shoes before walking into your home, to prevent any seal coat or other debris from being tracked inside.  You may need to do this for a short
period of time until the repairs have completely cured.  The Association, Earthworks and De Camara Management will not be responsible for any damage caused by this substance on your personal property.

Additionally, street parking will be permitted until November 26th, 2012, except in red zone areas.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation during this project.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

At the direction of the Board,
Maegan Vidal

Oops - Safety and Security Meeting

My apologies, I misunderstood the meeting announcement from Jeanine on the previous post.  See new information below.  RSVPs still go to Jeanine.

Hi All

Thank you so much for your quick replies about a meeting date. It was exactly
even between the 2 dates, so I left it to Caroline to choose a date. For those of 
you who cannot make the November date, I am sorry! This meeting is open to
our Cuesta, Cresta Vista, Vista del Mar and Uplands folks.. everyone on my list
and the expanded lists.

Here is the info:

We will meet at Seascape Resort Wed., Nov. 28, 6:30 - 8:00pm, with Sgt.
Paul Ramos and 3 - 5 other local NW groups.

THIS MEETING IS NOT ABOUT FIRE ISSUES - IT IS ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT &
SAFETY ISSUES!!

** I need you to RSVP by NOVEMBER 15. We only have room for 60 - 70 people, so
we need a head-count.

** If you have questions for Sgt. Ramos, please email them to me by November 15,
so I can forward them to Sgt. Ramos and he can prepare. This meeting will NOT be
an open complaint or Q & A time other than what you submit ahead of time.

Thanks for caring.

Jeanine

Latest on Fire Meeting

The following message is from Jeanine Sande.  Please reply to her if you are interested in attending.  This is the same message that went out via email, but since not every one has provided their email message I am reproducing the information below.
----------------------

Hi Neighbors.

We are planning a large NW meeting (5 groups, I think) with Sgt. Paul Ramos.
He will have a PowerPoint presentation, and be available for Q & A - but please
submit your questions ahead of time, so this does not turn into a complaint
session!

Question for those of you planning on attending - which date is better??
Wed. Nov. 28, or Wed. Dec. 12??

Please let me know and I will let Caroline know.

Take care & Happy Halloween. Jeanine
