ROAD WORK AT DAWN HOA AUGUST 4TH- AUGUST 12TH

Dear Dawn Homeowner,

Beginning August 4^th and ending August 13^th, Dawn HOA will be having minor road work completed. We will be crack sealing and sealcoating the streets in the community. We understand there may be some inconvenience involved in this project, but if we work together we can keep it to a minimum and come out with excellent results. The map with your street and the date your street will be serviced is located on the back of this letter. Below is more information on the project. More information can be found at www.dawnhoa.com.

CRACK SEALING The larger cracks in the pavement will be blown clean and filled with a hot rubber sealer.  The crack filling material cures within 5 minutes of contact with the surface.  If you must have access around the operation, ask the crew foreman and he will help you get where you need to go.  The crack sealing is scheduled to be done on Thursday August 4^th, Monday August 8^th, Wednesday August 10^th and Friday August 12^th in conjunction with your sealcoat.

SEAL COAT In this operation the streets will be swept clean and coated with Master Seal, a tough, durable rubberized sealer for asphalt pavements.  During this operation the streets will be closed Thursday August 4^th, Monday August 8^th, Wednesday August 10^th and Friday August 12^th from 7am to 7am the following day.  Traffic control barricades will be put in place.  It is very important that you stay off the streets until the barricades are removed.  All vehicles should be out of the work area before 6am to prevent from being towed.  

A FEW OTHER THINGS OF NOTE:

Trash and recycle will be picked up on normal trash/recycle days at 6 am. Please make sure your trash can is out before 6am on August 8^th and your recycle bin is out before 6am on August 10^th. Sunland Asphalt begins work at 7 am, and Sunland Asphalt will put the cans on the sidewalk for you when they arrive if they are still out.

If you need your vehicle the day of your street work, please plan ahead and park in an area not being affected. Please remember to be courteous of neighbors and blocking driveways or parking too close. Do not park where work will be performed or where it blocks traffic. The Association has hired a tow company to be in the area. Any cars that impede this work, will be towed at the owner’s expense. Dawn HOA, Legacy Community Partners, and Sunland Asphalt will not be responsible for any damages.

 Outside watering should not be done on the day we are in your area.  All sprinklers will be turned off and trash/recycle containers must be removed.  Auto, foot, pet, and bicycle traffic must stay off the new seal coat approximately 24 hours or until the barricades are removed.  Failure to do so may result in damage to cars, shoes, sidewalks, carpets, etc.  Sunland Asphalt will not be responsible for any damages. Keep children and pets away from the construction for their own safety.

Asphalt work cannot be applied in wind or rain. If any rescheduling needs to be done, you will be notified. If you have any questions please contact Eric Peterson at (480) 347-1900 or eric@lcpaz.com or visit www.dawnhoa.com for updates.

Pool Drainage

Ready to do some work on your pool? Before you start pumping out the water, you need to make sure that you are meeting the City's pool draining requirements. Please take a moment to read some "Frequently Asked Questions" about pool drainage.

Where do I drain my pool water?
The City of Chandler requires that all pool and spa water discharges be maintained on private property, or in a sanitary sewer cleanout on private property.  During general maintenance, when backwashing your pool, drainage into the sewer cleanout is not necessary as long as the discharge is maintained on your private property.
 
Does the City of Chandler require a permit to drain a pool?
No permit is needed prior to draining your pool, however, the water is required to be maintained on private property or in the sewer cleanout on private property.  It is no longer acceptable to discharge pool water into the roadway.  Pipes that are "hard plumbed" to discharge off property (i.e. to the street) are considered "a direct connection to the storm drain" and are prohibited.
 
Do I need to contact the City when I refill my pool?
Your are not required to contact the City of Chandler when you are refilling your pool, but residents should be aware of the rise in their utility bill due to the large consumption of water.  The City does not give discounts when refilling your pool. You can use your utility bill to calculate the estimated cost to refill your pool.  If you have any additional questions on your water usage please call 480-782-2280.
 
When did the City change their pool draining policy?
In 2006, the City updated its policy to make the pool draining process safer and more efficient.
 
What does a sewer cleanout look like?
The sewer cleanout is typically a three or four inch black pipe about level with the landscaping, typically located close to the home. It may have a black cap, with a raised square nut or a recessed slot, which can be unscrewed providing access for the pool water disposal. In a newer home, you may find that there are two cleanout pipes. In this case, the one closer to the home is the preferred access point.
 
Does the City have plans on file that shows where the sewer cleanout is located?
The City of Chandler does not keep or maintain records detailing location information for a sewer cleanout on private property. If you have trouble locating your sewer cleanout, or have questions on proper drainage or safe flow rates, consult a plumber.
 
What is the recommended flow rate to drain my pool?
The recommended flow rate is no greater than 12 gallons per minute. The safe flow rate may differ depending on the size of the drain line, distance to the sewer main, and the condition of the pipes.  It may be necessary to consult a plumber regarding a safe rate to discharge the pool water into the sewer clean out.

Dawn updated Parking Rules

Here is the new and updated parking policy for Dawn HOA effective immediately.

The community has been having issues with parking in front of other peoples homes, making it hard for owners to get out of their driveways (must be 18 inches from driveways),  parking in front of fire hydrants ( must be 15 ft from a fire hydrant), etc.

We are asking that homeowner first park in the garages, then the driveways and if you must park in the street, please park in front of your own home. There is also additional parking along Kenneth & Terrace.

It is the boards hope that the new parking rules will help the community feel more organized and allow homeowners un-restricted access to their homes.

If you have any questions, please call Legacy Community Partners at 480-347-1900.

We thank you in advance for partnering with us in making your community    a   better place to live.
