Notice to Las Palmas Estates Residents

24 July 2014 (sorry I'm really behind here)

Subject: Slope behind homes on Curie Lane

Our neighbors at the Bella Vista complex have informed us that their gardeners are finding trash and landscape clippings from trees and plants being thrown over our perimeter wall onto their slope area. Their landscape crew needs the area behind our perimeter wall to be clear for them to perform the slope maintenance. The Bella Vista Landscape crew will have to deal with that part of the issue.

The reason for this is that their landscape crews need the area directly behind our perimeter walls to be clear of clutter for them to perform their slope maintenance. 

We will send out the LPEHOA landscape crew out to pick-up what has been dumped. This is a onetime effort by LPEHOA!

Any other clippings beyond the point of this notice will then become the responcibility of the homeowner(s) to remove.

Please note: Some of the shrubs and treees are well over the wall and require trimming by the individual homeowners.

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter,

Las Palmas Estates HOA

OC Bridges Update

OCTA contacted us with some updates, some of which I'm sure you are already experiencing.

This is directly from the handout. (sorry I don't have a scanner handy)

August 2014-Spring 2016

Orangethorpe Ave Road Closure

OCTA previously planned for the bridge to be built while Orangethorpe remained open via a bypass road with one lane in both directions. However, complex utility relocations have affected the construction schedule. In order for the project to remain on schedule for completion by spring 2016, Orangethorpe Ave will be fully closed while the bridge is under construction. Starting early 2015, access to Chapman Ave will be closed until approximately late 2015.

Drivers can use either Kraemer Blvd to the west or Tustin/Rose to the east, with Alta Vista St to the north and Miraloma to the south, as detour routes.
