Hasley Hills HOA

Monthly Report

JANUARY 5, 2006

Prepared by Greenplace Landscape Management

1) Maintenance Rotation: 3 crews: 1^st crew rotates on A, B, and C tract 36668 and E, D, C-1 C-2 KB. 2^nd crew rotates on F-1, F-2, K, A, B-1, B-2, B-3, and B-4 and J, and I KB. 3^rd crew rotates on: H, G, and C KB slopes and A, B, C, D, E, and F Richmond. The rotation time is approximately 3 to 4 weeks this time of year.

2) Irrigation Schedules: Changed November 1, 2005; Irrigation is during the daytime hours after 9:00 am on most areas. Cycle times and days vary depending on the weather. We try not to irrigate on the weekends. Some slopes have so many valves on the clock, it requires a longer run time and the clock may need to be cycling during hours and days that are not preferred.

3) H.O. Plant material encroaching into HOA areas: Contractor continues to trim encroaching plant material to be even with the fence line and provide a maintenance path for ingress and egress to the work areas.

4) Unauthorized Plantings: Plantings and structure put into the HOA slopes will be removed or reported to the management company

5) Clearance of View Corridors: This is not part of the Maintenance Contract. Homeowners on the Richmond slopes recently requested the crew to top all of the Pine trees for their view. The homeowner was told to contact the management company. Many times the homeowners will top the trees anyway.

6) Fertilization of Maintained Areas: All areas were in October. Fertilizer was applied at the base of the plants and trees, and broadcasted for the ground cover.

8) Annual Color: Flowers have been planted for winter color at the main entrance

9) Spring plant: Plant replacement has been requested by many homeowners. An agenda item is requested for the February meeting. I will have proposals for the Board’s review.

11) Flood Control Basins: Hayward and Galbreth are the only two flood control basin areas that have not been turned over. As of this meeting, I do not have an update on the turnover date for these two locations.

12) Plant Material during Winter Conditions: The honeysuckle groundcover and the Cotoneaster react to the cold weather in Castaic. The appearance of these two types of plant material and shrub will be similar to a plant going into dormancy. The plant material may appear to be dying….it is not. This is normal for the weather conditions in this area. The plant material will bounce back in the spring. The Creekbed slope is the only slope planted with hydro seed. Hydro seed will also go into a dormant state during the cold weather. Therefore this slope will be less attractive than the other planted slopes throughout the community.

13) Pump Replacement: The pump located on Bancroft for the J slope over-heated and burned out. The pump was replaced. The work was authorized as an emergency repair.

14) Gate Access Bridlewood: I have requested a proposal for the installation of a lockable gate for the slope area at the end of Bridlewood. We will be using an existing 3 foot gate that was provided to the HOA. Proposal attached.

15) Vandalism: H.O. @ 30139 Galbreth cut down all the plant material in the common area. The management company has written a letter to the homeowner of record. The homeowner of record is Sang Hyok Lee. I have asked TruGreen to prepare a proposal to replace the shrubs and ground cover in the Spring. Proposal attached.

16) Recent Tree Loss: During the recent rains, we lost 3 Eucalyptus trees on the Creekbed slope and 1 Pepper on the Richmond A slope. Some trees feel and they were re-staked. They may not make it, but we will watch them. I do not recommend replacement of the ones we lost.
