The Board has recently received communications from residents regarding instances of property damage and vandalism.
The complaints of property damage are related to inappropriate use of the common areas and facilities. In one case a resident reported that the legs of the chairs which had been located in the tennis court had been broken off, apparently by some youngsters using the chairs for goal posts for soccer practice. In the second case a resident reported that a number of children had been using the common green area between buildings for a playing field, causing damage to the landscaping, shrubbery and possibly the irrigation system and disturbing the neighbors.
It has to be emphasized that Barron Square has NO DESIGNATED PLAYING AREAS and the common areas are NOT intended for this purpose. Juana Briones Park is a short walk down Maybell Avenue and has excellent facilities for these activities. The use of the tennis court is RESTRICTED to members of Barron Square who wish to play tennis.
We have also received reports of vandalism to vehicles parked in the vicinity of the cul-de-sac. Given the proximity of this area to El Camino Real, the Association will be adding additional security measures to the fences and gates at the end of the fire lane. We have also requested a bid to increase the height of the property line fence with the adjacent property.
