Summary
Irrigation Renovation Project
Wes Perryclear (Special Districts/LA County Parks and Recreation) reported that the newly installed WeatherTRAK irrigation controllers seem to be operating as expected. He also reported plans to personally manage the internet-based irrigation system until further notice.
Homeowners should contact Judy Benevidez (County Monitor/Sunset Pointe) with any questions or concerns regarding the performance of the new system.
Landscape Renovation Project
Wes Perryclear informed the committee that a contractor had been selected for the landscape portion of the Sunset Pointe renovation project. Work began in April and is tentatively scheduled to be completed by the end of May. Replanting began on the perimeter of Sunset Pointe. Upon completion, interior areas will be addressed as funds permit.
Sunset Pointe Renovation/Landscape Planting Plan:
With fire/fuel modification in mind, the committee asked Wes Perryclear to arrange an onsite meeting to take a closer look at the proposed landscape plans for the South/Southwest slopes of Sunset Pointe.
Landscape Maintenance
Richard Cambaliza (Maintenance Operations Manager/Rich Meirer’s Landscaping, Inc.) was again available to answer any landscape maintenance questions the committee might have. Committee member concerns about several eucalyptus trees that need additional trimming were addressed. Plans were made to have the trees trimmed ASAP.
At the request of the County, work to facilitate the replanting of Sunset Pointe will be a priority for the maintenance crew until the landscape renovation is complete.
Brush Clearance
Judy Benavidez reported that soil conditions permitting, brush clearance is scheduled to begin in May.
Sunset Pointe Native Oak Trees
The landscape of the Sunset Pointe subdivision includes 8 oak trees indigenous to the area. As part of the landscape renovation project, arrangements are being made to have an expert inspect the condition of the trees. The committee will then consider the recommended management and maintenance requirements.
