Letter To VIHA regarding Streetscape Progress

Dear Mr. Brendel and Mr. Khamsi,

I hope all is well.  In an effort to keep the Venetian Island’s HOA updated on the construction activities of the Venetian Islands Neighborhood Improvements Project, as well as work together to achieve optimum outreach results, please note that the contractor is scheduled to begin excavation for drainage installation on the southwest side (curve area/peak of island) of San Marino Island, the week of March 2, 2015 (next week).

As previously discussed in past meetings, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in keeping the residents informed.  During this process, it is important to inform residents that back door garbage collection service will not take place during the drainage phase.  Therefore, please advise them to place their garbage bins outside in front of their properties.  We will also distribute this information along with updated construction activity information through our weekly updates.

I thank you for your cooperation throughout the construction process, and look forward to working together.  Take care and have a great weekend!

 

Regards,

Quest Corporation of America, Inc.

Venetian Islands Streetscape Update

BRIEF UPDATE ON STREETSCAPE

We would like to give residents a short update of what’s happening with our ‘somewhat neglected’ streetscape.

In a meeting with CIP yesterday, VIHA was given the following Agenda:

1. Storm Water Drainage will start in February/early March starting with San Marino and last approx. 2 months.

Dilido will start thereafter and last 3 months, once completed Rivo Alto will last 2 months.

2. As Rivo Alto will be last in this project, it was decided to give the Roads in Rivo Alto a temporary asphalt overlay.

It does not make any practical or economic sense for the other islands as they are being worked on.

3. The storm water drainage work will be done in segments of 300 feet in order to not disrupt the entire traffic to the islands.

There will be no disruption to mail delivery or sanitation pick-up, but changes are needed to guarantee access.

Lastly, please pay attention to instruction for parking your car, best it be in your driveway during this period. Access to your property will always be guaranteed.

 

THE ENTIRE PROJECT WILL LAST 14 MONTHS, pump stations at the end of each island will be installed in-between

More detailed instruction to follow from CIP.
