Painting Project Wrap Up

Dec 022016

It looks like our contractors, AC Enterprises, are going to finish their work on schedule. The dry rot repairs, except for the decks that need to be replaced, are finished and the painters should wrap up their work in the next 2 weeks. Combined with the lighting replacement project, Barron Square should have a fresh new look for the holidays.

Now is the time we need your help…

Please look around your unit and let us know if there is anything which seems to have been missed or improperly done. Please note that some dry rot problems were deemed to be insignificant AT THIS TIME and could be deferred until the next painting cycle in 7 years. If you see something which you feel needs attention, please fill out the inspection form and send it to PML as soon as possible so we can notify the contractor.

Fence painting

The contract specifies that the contractor will paint the EXTERIOR side of all fences AND the DIVIDING fences between adjacent patios. According to the CC&Rs:

“Each Owner shall maintain and keep in repair everything in his Unit and shall have the…right to paint or decorate the interior surface of the backyard fence, subject to the prior written approval of color by the Board.“

If you have painted or stained your side of the dividing fence and wish to maintain it that way or if you have plantings which you can not remove for painting, please notify PML and/or the contractor as soon as possible. Otherwise, please move all obstructions so that the painters can access the dividing fences for painting.

The Board thanks you for your cooperation and patience during this project.

Lights for the Holidays

Dec 022016

The project to replace all of the lighting fixtures at Barron Square will begin on December 8th, (just in time for the holidays).

All of the light fixtures at the doorways, stairways, and garages will be replaced by the new Galen style shown in the photo. The 4 post lamps at the pool will also be replaced by matching fixtures. Your patio and deck lights will be replaced with a similar smaller fixture. The new fixtures will have LED bulbs for energy conservation and this will reduce our common area lighting costs. All of the work will be done externally by our electrical contractor, United Electric. They will need to access your patio or deck, but there should be no need for them to enter you unit.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have replaced the original Barron Square light fixtures on your deck or patio, you will need to file an Architectural Review Request if you wish to keep your current fixtures. Preference will be given to maintaining the architectural uniformity of our buildings.

Barron Square is “Fobulous”

Nov 242016

All the locks on the pool gates, clubhouse, tennis court and ECR gate have now been replaced with a new system using RFID key fobs. Both pool gates have been replaced with new, steel gates which meet the Santa Clara County code for swimming pools.

To use the new fobs, simply touch the fob to the black area on the front of the lock. A green light will indicate that the lock is unlocked and you can open the door or gate. The lock code which was used until the fobs had been distributed will be removed on Sunday, November 27th.

PLEASE NOTE: All residents have been issued two (2) key fobs to replace the previous keys for the recreational areas. If you did NOT receive your fobs, or if you encounter problems using them, please contact Maurice Green (650-493-5914) or PML. Offsite owners will be provided a key fob upon written request to PML.

Security System Update 2

Nov 182016

The new security locks have been installed on the clubhouse, pool gates, ECR gate and the tennis court.

Unfortunately, there is a ‘bug’ in the programming system which prevents us from loading the FOB ID’s into the locks, so the FOB’s don’t work.

FOR THE TIME BEING, if you need to access the clubhouse or pool, you can use the following code in the keypad on the lock:

‘123456’

Once we have fixed the ‘bug’ you will need to use your fob to open the locks.

Important Notice to All Residents

After a number of delays we are finally on schedule to begin installation of the new gates and security system for the recreational areas (clubhouse/spa, pool, tennis court) and the gate at El Camino Real. Installation of the first pool gate will begin on Monday, November 14th. Both pool gates will be replaced with new, sturdier gates which meet the Santa Clara County code for swimming pools. Additionally, the locks on the clubhouse, tennis court and ECR gate will be replaced. The new system will use RFID key fobs and will allow PML Management to remotely operate the locks and provide access for contractors as needed. Finally, new child-proof locks will be installed on the patio fences for units adjacent to the pool.

PLEASE NOTE: All residents will be issued two (2) key fobs to replace the current keys for the recreational areas. Offsite owners will be provided a key fob upon written request to PML.

We have arranged for distribution of the new key fobs at the clubhouse during the following hours listed. Please arrange to have an adult member of your household come to the clubhouse to pick up, and sign for receipt of, the key fobs.
