Parking Lot Upgrades

In order for Kirby Creek Village HOA to remain in compliance with the City of Grand Prairie's Parking Layout and Design Standards we have hired a local company to re-stripe the Clubhouse/Pool Parking Lot.

In preparation for the pending striping project it is imperative the following precursors are met on the work site in order to create the most efficient and advantageous environment for successful completion.

The parking lot will be CLOSED during the process and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please make note of the following dates:

Tuesday May 7, 2019 - Parking Lot will be CLOSED (Power Wash Preparation)
Wednesday May 8, 2019 - Parking Lot will be CLOSED (New Striping)

In case of inclement weather, the operations manager will provide our offices with notification of delay or postponement and will collaboratively work to reestablish a date for completion. If there is a delay I will send out additional notifications as soon as possible.
KCV Landscapers

It is always our goal for the association to be well manicured and looking great. Due to heavy rains our landscapers have been working feverishly to keep KCV looking nice. I have had a few owners submit questions regarding dates/times for mows. Our contract with the landscape company is a "flex mow" style contract verses an "established day" of the week contract.

This contract style guarantees mows weekly/biweekly depending on the time of year (weather permitting). For example, if we were under contract for a "specific day of the week" style mow and it rains on that day our landscapers would then come out the following week on that specific day. If it rains the following week on our scheduled day OR the grounds are too wet for a mow we then move into a third week of no mows.

With the flex mow schedule Kirby Creek Village is always guaranteed a mow in accordance to our weekly/biweekly schedule for that time of the year. The landscapers accommodate and mow our property based on the weather. The landscapers goal is to mow our property on Monday's, and this is especially helpful during the summer as they ideally are on property the day our pool is closed. As you know, we have had a lot of inclement weather lately and their mow schedule has been impacted. Thankfully, with the flex mow contract Kirby Creek Village will continue to be mowed regularly.

The landscapers were out on property Saturday April 20th just after 7:00 am. I had a few owners who were upset they were out so early on a Saturday. Due to the massive amount of rain the past few weeks this was the only day they were able to mow the property to stay in compliance with our contract. The City of Grand Prairie Environmental Quality Manager did confirm our Landscapers were in conformance with Article XIII of the City of Grand Prairie ordinance pertaining to Noise Restrictions. Daytime hours are defined as any day of the week 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. Onsite management used video surveillance and reviewed the footage from Saturday April 20, 2019 and confirmed that the landscapers arrived on property at 7:07 am and began working. We appreciate your understanding and hope you are pleased with their landscaping efforts.

If so, please contact him at 972-262-7404. Jason is working diligently trying to correct the issues with the mail delivery in our neighborhood.
