Maintenance Issue Reports

There is an issue with standing water and a buildup of algae along the street on Meritage Loop from the west end (1586 Meritage Loop) up to the storm drain between 1592 and 1594 Meritage Loop. This has been occurring yearly since the completion of some of the landscaping on the west side of the loop. It attracts pigeons, mice, and other creatures and is unsanitary. Something needs to be done about it.

I will pass this along to the HOA.

Shea Homes is the governing office and has investigated the issue. A corrective action has been put in place.

There is a substantial water leak in the vineyard off Riesling Circle. I found one near the green telecommunications box this morning. There was also a leak near the park that had already been called in when I found it. At 7:45 this evening, I was out in my backyard ( which is right off the trail between Riesling Circle and Barbaressco), and water was streaming down the vineyard hill.
I took pictures, but am unable to load them. When my husband gets home, we'll try to send the pics.

There is a significant vineyard irrigation leak on Petite Syrah hill. It is located at the end of one of the rows of vines, that face Trilogy Parkway, about halfway between the bocce courts and the Porto neighborhood. The water is pouring out of the connection between the black irrigation pipe and the rigid line coming out of the ground. I placed a small wooden stake by the line that is leaking, but you can easily see where the water has run as the ground has been washed away. I can provide a Google maps photo of the location if you need it.

Thanks,

There is a missing lamp post on Vineyards Parkway where it intersects with Trilogy Parkway and Solara Street. My understanding is that this lamp post has been missing for a few years now. Has anyone contacted the City of Brentwood regarding the replacement of this lamp post? Isn't replacement covered by: "Landscape and Lighting District No. 06-3 Vineyards. The Community lies within the boundaries of the City of Brentwood Landscape and Lighting District No. 06-3 Vineyards (referred to above as the “LLD"). The LLD was formed to fund landscape maintenance and energy and maintenance costs of streetlights on arterial streets within the LLD."? Given all the special taxes and assessments that we pay, it seems like the City of Brentwood should perform this type of maintenance in a more timely fashion. Thanks.

There is a gopher in the northeast corner of Meritage Park. It is killing all the shrubs.
1. The gopher needs to be removed.
2. Gophers go after grubs that live near roots. The shrubs and surrounding soil need to be sprayed with insecticide.

There is a dead pine tree at the Solera St. entrance into Tuscany. It needs to be removed and hopefully replaced. Thank you.

There are weeds that are totally overgrown in common area on symphony circle. It is the access to the olive orchard behind the exterior wall. (1525 Symphony Cir ) It looks horrible! There needs to be maintenance on this access area!

There are many leaks and some sprays of water at many of the connectors for the vines around the Winebarn. I have pictures of the locations but no way to upload them. However, when the vines are being watered it is easy to see where the problems are.

There are 5 dead trees in Meritage Park. They need to be replaced.

There appears to be a water leak in the median where the large fountain is located at the foot of Trilogy Parkway. Water has been running onto the side of the street leading to the club for several days.

The wooden fence on the Bordeaux side of Briones Valley Rd - facing out toward Rhone - is in bad shape. This isn't a homeowner's issue as it is the side that faces the street. There are at least two boards along the top of the fence that have either fallen off or have popped up and will fall off soon. The fence is also in desperate need of staining on that side. *** This fence is located on City property***

The water standpipe between the Event Center and the parking lot is leaking.
