No Drop-In Meeting Today; Updates; Important Meeting on Nov. 13
November 6, 2023
Dear neighbors,
Please make note of the following information.
Notice: No Drop-In Meeting Today
The Board usually holds meetings about Lane-repair updates every Monday via Zoom for all residents, but we will NOT be holding a drop-in meeting today, November 6.
Lane-Repair Project Update
Parking: TRM estimates that we should be able to resume parking on the lower Lane and in our garages within the next few weeks. Their hope is to re-enable lower Lane parking by Thanksgiving.
Painting: Preparations for painting (including power washing and priming) are complete on the back-third section of the Lane. A top coat of paint will be applied to the back-third section within the next few days, weather permitting. TRM estimates that paint-prep and painting will be complete for the remainder of the lower Lane within three weeks. Electricians and plumbers are set to finish their work after each section is painted.
Masonry: On the front-third section of the Lane, the masonry contractor is finishing up the last of the work within the masonry scope.
Waterproofing: The waterproofing membrane for the entire upper deck should be done by the end of this week, weather permitting. You may notice that waterproofing material extends onto the curbs that delineate the garden pits. This waterproofing on the curbs will not be exposed when the project is complete. These curbs will be capped with copper to ensure the waterproofing will be intact for many years.
Fieldstone walkway and garden pits: TRM says that in coming weeks, garden pits should be filled with soil and the walkway should have its stone. Thirteen pallets of stone are being stored at the landscaper’s site. As soon as the walking surface is ready to receive the stone, the landscaper will put down the landscaping fabric, fieldstone and mortar. Plants will not go into the pits until spring. TRM has asked the Board to conduct a general survey to find out roughly how many homes would opt for each landscaping "tier" level. So, the Board will send out a survey for homeowners to complete. The Re-landscaping Committee has been formed and will meet with the landscaper in the future; please stand by for further information about landscaping.
Reminder: Lane-Wide Meeting Next Week
On November 13 at 7:30 p.m., we will hold an important Lane-wide meeting. It is imperative that you attend this November 13 meeting, as we will be discussing finance-related information that will affect you. As the date approaches, we will send you another reminder and Zoom information.
Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility!
Respectfully,
Your Mayfair Lane Board
