What this means for you

• Stay off the gravel as any driving on it will damage the leveling they have completed.
• Once the roads are paved, we stay off of it for 48 hours

Extra caution advised

The hotter the weather, the longer we need to leave it to cure.  The cooler the weather, the shorter it takes.  The risk of driving on the roads before it is fully cured are ruts and damage to the road.

We will request to have the barriers up for at least 48 hours to keep drive through traffic out.  Specifically Valley Ranch is a potential problem.  We rely on the co-owners living on Santa Fe to keep a watch on the road and help keep people off until the roads are done.

If all goes well, Santa Fe will be completed by the end of next week, July 28.

What does this mean for us?

• All co-owners on Santa Fe should make arrangements to park on either Rodeo Dr or in one of the guest parking on Fox Glen or Bridle Pass
• The barriers is scheduled to go up on Monday July 17 to close off Santa Fe from both Fox Glen and Rodeo

Timeline

Current timeline is to complete the milling, leveling, and repaving from Monday July 17 through Sunday July 23. This is weather and personnel permitting.  Last year they projected 1 week job which took months.

• Monday/Tuesday, July 17/18 – removal of the old/milling
• Wednesday July 19 – Leveling and quality check
• Thursday July 20 – paving the initial layer
• Friday July 21 – paving the final layer

We leave the road to “cure” for 48 hours.  We want to avoid driving on the road after it has been paved to ensure a longer lasting road.  This is why we are advising to not drive on it through Sunday if all the work goes as planned.

As with last time, rubbish and recycling will be impacted as those trucks definitely should not be driving on our road.  Deliveries from Amazon, UPS, Fedex, etc can be impacted.  The recommendation is for each co-owner to hold the mail by contacting the USPS directly.  There is a slight chance the different delivery services will park at the edge of the barrier and walk to your house.  We recommend against thinking this will happen.

Lastly, if there is an emergency, emergency vehicles will be allowed through.  We will need to accept the consequences of this possibility.  We are not going to prioritize roads over a life.  We will need to accept that this could mean a more costly road project if work has to be redone or we have damage done due to the stage of the road project.

The road paving project for 2022 is almost at a close.  Fox Glen and Bridle Pass have been paved.  The lines have been drawn for the parking spots.  We now have 10 parking spots instead of the original 8.  The company drawing the lines indicated that these spots are within the parameters because we have angle at each end of the guest parking.

The last item left is for the catch basin cleaning scheduled for next week or the week after.

Fall Leaf Clean-up

There has been several concerns regarding when the leaves will be cleaned up.  The timing for fall clean up is around Thanksgiving historically per our property management.  The first part was completed today and Garrett will finish off the rest within the week.

Holiday Refuse/Recycling Pick-up

The calendar currently has a static repeated every Thursday for refuse pick up.  The recycling is picked up every other week.  This past year, Waste Management made a change for a holiday week; pick up will be 1 day later.  The calendar will not be updated each time for a holiday pick up.  As a reminder, this week, it is a holiday week so the rubbish and recycling will be picked up on Friday instead of Thursday morning.

Recycling

• Pick-up did not occur for most of Fox Glen and Bridle Pass since work on the roads began before pick-up.
• Recycling will come in two weeks.

Driving on the roads

• Since it is cold out, the roads are curing faster and should be okay to drive.
• 24 hours is recommended to give us the best chance at having a solid road that will last another 20 years.
• If the roads are not fully cured, there is a slight possibility that driving on the road could cause depressions to form.  This could, in turn, decrease road longevity and will cause the roads to need to be redone sooner.

Thanks for everyone’s patience in this long project.
