The wood repairs and repainting of the complex is almost finished. Before the Board considers the project complete we want to give everyone the opportunity to check around their unit for wood repairs or painting that was missed.

Please check around your unit and contact Cityscape with any concerns by August 31st.

Also make sure to schedule time with the painters to have the edges of your front door painted as soon as possible. (If the painters have not contacted you about this directly, please let us know.)

(Note: the stucco is not being repainted at this time.)

Update: small solar pathway lights have been placed in the darker areas of the paths.

Some of the pathway lighting is out around the grounds. Electricians are working to diagnose and repair the issue. While that work is ongoing, temporary lighting has been ordered and should be installed very soon.

A signed copy of the following letter was sent to the Sunnyvale City Council prior to the Planning Commission Hearing on Monday, June 26 regarding the proposed apartment building at 1008 E. El Camino Real / 1314-1320 Poplar Ave.

While the Board did not want to take an official position on the development, we wanted to voice concerns about the general impact to our community.

Ever want to know who’s responsible for patio fence repairs or garage door replacement?

Based on the Camino del Prado CC&Rs and legal advice, the Board has created a “cheat sheet” for repair and maintenance responsibilities throughout the community. Check it out on the Repairs & Maintenance page.

Many homeowners have done the requested trimming, and we thank you. For those of you that have not yet done it, you can expect a warning letter to be followed by hearing letter and fines, if required. We hope we don’t have to do that, but the trimming must be completed so the community can be painted.

The HOA is preparing to paint the buildings, so all trees and bushes must have enough space for the painter to get in there and paint. Tree branches should be trimmed 2 to 3 feet away from the buildings, and bushes should never be allowed to grow directly on the stucco or siding. If you have ever pulled a vine off a stucco wall, you know the scar that is left by the roots which dig into the walls. Thank you in advance for being proactive and getting the trimming done as soon as possible.

The Board has approved two additional bait stations to be added in areas where there has been a report of increased rodent activity in the community. In addition, bait station usage is being monitored to determine where there is high and low use of the bait. Stations that show low usage will be moved to areas where usage is high to speed the elimination of the rodent population.

The Board has approved the landscaping company to mow the ivy early this year to ensure they do not provide a home for rodents to hide in. The Board has nearly completed the trimming of the community trees to ensure there is adequate clearance from the buildings, and homeowners are completing their tree trimming as well. All identified vent screen repairs have been completed, so if you see a damaged vent screen, please notify Cityscape Property Management so we can get it repaired.
