Nov 1st, 2019
by WHQ Board.

PHASE 1 BEGINS

WHQ’s Drainage Phasing Plan 102419

Dear Washington’s Headquarters Homeowners:

Attached please find a phasing plan of the work for the underground drainage system repair and upgrade.

Adamo Brothers plans to start work on Monday, November 4th (weather permitting).

The proposed schedule of work by phase is as follows;

Schedule: (dates updated 11/19/19 per Margaret’s email)

  • Phase 1:   11/04/19 – 11/20/19
  • Phase 2:   11/21/19 – 12/05/19
  • Phase 3:   12/06/19  – 12/23/19

Important Notes:
The schedule dates presented, are susceptible to weather delays and possible unknown underground obstructions. Please see attached drawing to determine which phase will affect you/when.
Parking within the marked up phasing areas will be closed during the day — 7am to 5pm — during the dates indicated on the attached phasing  drawing.

Pedestrian access to homes will be fully available.

Access by vehicles to private garages will be mostly possible –except if there is a line crossing your driveway which may render access impassable for a few hours.

Times of shutdown will be coordinated with on-site supervisor from Adamo and Brooker Engineering inspector.

Parking spaces will be re-established and usable at the end of each work day, roughly by 5pm.

Adamo Brothers will be using the communities’ two visitor parking spaces, for material and equipment storage, during the entire course of their work.
They will deliver materials for the job tomorrow (November 1) so please make sure all cars are removed from these spaces tonight.

Care should be taken as it may — at times — be difficult for you to drive in/out of WHQ.  Adamo will assist as best as possible to ensure your ability to come and go as you need.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation while we embark on this, the first section of our long discussed and awaited Capital Improvement project.
Please feel free to contact our Managing Agent, Margaret Federici at either 914-238-0732 or margaretfederici49@gmail.com if you have any questions.

August 6th WHQ Board Update

Aug 7th, 2019
by WHQ Board.

Dear Neighbors:
Here are some updates/reminders regarding our community.

DRAINAGE PROJECT

Phase I of our capital improvement project has been delayed.  The Dobbs Ferry Building Department has now involved the Village Planning Board.  We are on the agenda of the upcoming meeting, August 8th.  Hopefully, approval will be granted and the project will be able to start shortly.  Once we have an exact start-date, we’ll send out a more definitive notice.

 

COURTYARD LANDSCAPE

Unfortunately, the landscaping in the courtyard has been decimated by deer and disease (i.e. boxwood blight).  Instead of attempting a re-do now, the Board has decided to blend this project into the overall re-landscaping that will be needed when the Broadway brick wall is reconstructed.

The Board understands that while we await a complete re-do, the courtyard will not look up to WHQ standards.  However from a design and cost prospective, waiting is the right thing to do.

 

EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS

In order to standardize the approval process for exterior alterations mandated by our Covenants & Restrictions, the Board now has an official ARB application.  A copy of which may be found on the WHQ website. (Under the by laws and more page – direct link to file)

 

PARKING

Please be reminded that every home has one numbered street parking space.  It is incumbent upon each homeowner to remind visitors and service personnel that they may not park in a reserved parking space, unless it belongs to the home they are visiting, or they have permission to do so.

Parking in front of garages or in the general roadway is not permitted except for purposes of loading and unloading vehicles.

The guest parking spaces are not intended to be used by homeowners at any time.

A black Mercedes has been parked for an extended period in one of the guest spots and is in jeopardy of being towed.

 

ANNUAL MEETING

Please make your calendar … the WHQ Annual Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, October 6th.  As we get closer to the date you will receive an official notice, proxy and agenda.

Enjoy the rest of the summer.
