Dear Strand Single Family HOA member,

As you are aware, we have contracted to have all our roads repaved. This work involves removing the existing paving and installing new asphalt along with some concrete gutter repairs and other work. As such, the roadways will have large equipment and trucks on the roadways during the process.

The first phase will be the removal of all the old asphalt via a milling operation. Work will start on Monday, May 22, 2023, weather permitting. This work will involve a number of trucks entering and leaving the roadway. The Contractor will mechanically sweep the roadway after the removal operation to try and remove any dust, debris, etc. 

Based on our meeting today with the contractor, the first roadway to be milled will be Amberwood Drive. When completed, the next roadway will be Barclay Lane followed by the other roads moving south until all the roadways are completely milled. Each road should take a day to remove the old asphalt. During this time, it is highly recommended that residents on that particular street minimize their travel to and from their home. NO Parking Will be allowed on the streets during this first phase. Any service vehicles of contractors, e.g. pool maintenance, etc. MUST be parked in the homeowners driveway while they are at the resident's home. 

The next phase will be the actual installation of the new asphalt paving. This will also start on Amberwood Drive around May 31st. The paving of each roadway should take approximately 1 day, again weather permitting. During this operation, it is important to avoid any travel by automobile in or out of the street that is being paved. A tacking fluid, to help adhere the new pavement to the base rock, will be applied and this would transfer to your driveway if you drove your car on the tacking fluid.

The roadway will be closed to all traffic for the first 24 hours during and after the paving process for that roadway. This is to ensure that the new pavement cools and dries properly. Only local resident cars will be allowed on the roadway after the first 24 hours and no cars should be parked on the roadway. After the next 24 hours, local deliveries, services, etc. will be allowed on the newly finished roadway. Based on the schedule, there may be disruption to services such as garbage pickup, mail delivery, deliveries from UPS or FedEx, etc.

We know that this work will cause you an inconvenience at times, but we should all be aware that this is our community and our monies paying for this work. A little inconvenience will go a long way to ensure that our community maintains its prestigious look. If cars travel on a newly paved roadway or park on the roadway, there is the possibility that tire impressions and skid or tire turning marks may be left on the new pavement which will remain for a long time.

If you have commitments that require you to use your car while the roadway is closed, you should take some extra precaution. We have arranged with the golf club to allow overnight parking of your car in their parking lot. If you have a golf cart, you should consider parking your car at the Club and use your cart or assistance from a neighbor who has a golf cart to go to and from your car, driving on the sidewalk of the roadway as much as possible.

If you have any questions about this process, please call Bob Polizzotto (239-287-1358) , David Lee (239-289-9046) or Mitch Dario (239-431-7803).

Thank You, The Strand SFHOA Board of Directors
