Will the plants be spread out (or sparse) like with some medians?
Our design plan is “desert lush”, with a more saturated look of color and trees once everything reaches maturity. It should be fuller than what you often see elsewhere in Cathedral Canyon or on many of the main roads. It … Continue reading

Are we the only ones doing this?
Almost all other medians within Cathedral Canyon have been replanted with desert plants and better accent lighting, as well as almost all medians within the 9 cities of the Coachella Valley. It’s for water savings and a modern desert aesthetic. … Continue reading

Won’t that make the street darker?
The current lighting is inefficient and the street is not that bright even when all lollipops are on. The best lighting for safety around your unit is obtained when you turn on your porch or wall light. The board is … Continue reading

What will happen to the lollipop lights currently in the median?
They will be permanently removed, to be replaced by spot lighting and under tree lighting, all of the warm LED variety.

This is surely going to raise our monthly dues, correct?
This project is funded out of reserves, and any future maintenance (mainly some of the pruning) will be out of operating budget. However, it’s a miniscule amount of money when compared to the overall budget, and shouldn’t affect future budgets. … Continue reading

I heard that our homeowners are going to be on the hook for over $70,000 for this project. Is that true?
While there’s a reserve item for $70,000, first this will be adjusted downward in our next reserve study because of the land survey how much of the median is actually ours. Then Welk is putting over $13,000 of cash and … Continue reading

How can the Board of Directors make a decision like this? Shouldn’t we have just left this alone?
The Board of Directors is charged with a fiduciary duty of taking care of the physical assets of the Association with regard to maintenance and aesthetics. If we did not do this project, we (and Welk) would face huge water … Continue reading

How is this going to affect water usage?
Well, instead of water constantly overspraying the medians and running down Paseo Real, there will be bubblers feeding a much smaller amount of water directly to the plants and trees. This saves a major amount of water and also helps … Continue reading

When we had our Annual Meeting, you promised that the agreement with Welk would be recorded with the county. Why isn’t it?
Our Association’s legal counsel advised us that county-recording of this non-real estate agreement would be unnecessary. Recordation is really for sales, leases and assignment of real property. This agreement deals purely with maintenance standards and involves no transfer of real … Continue reading

Can’t Welk just stop taking care of the plants if they want to save money in the future?
No, they cannot. There are now specific standards for maintenance of the trees and plants, including replacement of dead plants and removal of weeds. Before, we had no legal teeth to enforce these standards, now we do. The agreement also … Continue reading
