BALDWIN PARK NOTEBOOK

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MOISES SANTIAGO

Moises Santiago’s job really puts him in the center of things … in the Village Center. As a member of the maintenance team, he is responsible for the upkeep of the parking lots and compactor areas, litter and trash removal, light repairs and painting — among other things — in the area the extends from the fountain to Common Way and from Lakemont Avenue to Lake Baldwin Lane.

He is one of four brothers and two sisters, all of whom live in Florida. When he’s not working, Moises spends time with his fiancee, Veronica, his mom and his four sons — 1-year-old Emmanuel, 3-year-old Yiovanny, 8-year-old Nowah and 10-year-old Jaidrien. Moises and his sons enjoy playing Xbox, going to the parks and going out to lunch together. Moises loves learning new things to help him grow in life.

HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR TOWNHOUSE OWNERS

Who is responsible for the irrigation in the back yard or private zone of my townhome (concerning service areas Cambridge, Issa 22 and Issa 28)?

The irrigation water is paid through the monthly assessments. The irrigation system was originally installed by the builder(s), and it’s all connected. There are many zones for each time clock, and each zone can control more than just one backyard/private zone. The irrigation runs overnight and the Association tries to follow the St. John’s Water Management District guidelines; however, the Association uses reclaimed water, so it’s not a requirement at this point. Irrigation zones where there is new plant material may run longer until the sod or plant material gets established. The irrigation system that lies within your backyard/private zone is the responsibility of the owner to maintain. If you need to check the irrigation or make repairs in your back yard/ private zone, you can contact Melissa Parker at mparker@ baldwinparkpoa.com or (407) 470-5838 in order to connect with BrightView Landscaping for assistance.

BALDWIN PARK COMMERCIAL OWNERS ASSOCIATION INC. BY ANTHONY MADDOX

VILLAGE CENTER UPDATES n BrightView continues to focus on plant detailing and leaf removal. Irrigation technicians continue to locate and repair irrigation main line breaks due to heavy tree roots.

n The Little Free Library in the Village Center next to the fountain has been removed for relocation to Enders Park for better utilization and will be maintained by the owner, who requested the relocation from the Residential Owners Association’s Architectural Review Committee.

NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT UPDATES n BrightView irrigation technicians have located and repaired a number of Rain Bird rain sensors thorough the division. The rain sensors prevent unnecessary watering by capturing and detecting moisture, then sending a signal to the system timer to cancel the current watering cycle.

n BrightView tree care has replaced a dead oak tree in the parking lot across from 954 Lake Baldwin Lane because of disease.

n Martin Orthodontics, 863 Outer Road, has completed its roof replacement project. The previous roofing was replaced with the same terracotta Juno Blend to uphold the Mediterranean architectural design of the building.

n The Animal Hospital at Baldwin Park has started its expansion project. The original expansion project of adding a second floor to the building has been reduced to only an additional 300 square feet on ground level on the north side of the building.

n An amendment to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants Conditions and Restrictions for the Baldwin Park commercial properties was voted on and approved to allow temporary offices to be placed in the Neighborhood Business District parking lot during construction projects.

GENERAL UPDATES n Landscape replacements occur monthly in both the Village Center and the Neighborhood Business District. Provided there are no delays, annual mulching is scheduled to take place in April.

n Parking lot light replacements occur monthly in both the Village Center and the Neighborhood Business District.

n Architectural Review Committee meetings take place twice a month on Tuesday for application reviews regarding commercial changes to exterior structures (roofing replacements and painting), landscaping and signage. All corresponding applications can be located on the Baldwin Park Network under Commercial Owners Association and Commercial Architectural Review Committee. Feel free to submit your Architectural Review forms to AMaddox@ BaldwinParkPOA.com.
