Phase 3 C Completion Schedule

---

We are in the process of completing the following items in this order: 3/26/21

1. Lamp posts:  New posts are ordered and are due in this week.  Work expected to be completed by Wednesday (3/31).
2. Temp toilets:  We had temporary toilets located near lot 42 where we have contractors working; these were not immediately adjacent to occupied homes.  They have been relocated near the HHC construction trailer.
3. Mud on road:  As of Thursday morning (3/25), there was no mud on any part of Rosewood Lane.  The mud that’s recently been reported on Rosewood Lane – especially near the circle – is likely the result of deliveries to residents living there.  When the delivery trucks partially park of the road or veer off the paved areas when making turns at corner, mud can get tracked onto Rosewood.   All contractors working on site are directed to park on paved driveways of unoccupied units only.
4. Landscaping:  We are just emerging from winter and haven’t met the requirements for planting any landscaping including grass, and this was confirmed this morning with the presence of frost below the topsoil layer.  Our site contractor is scheduled to come back to complete final grading around buildings 42, 47 and 48 late next week.  Our landscaper is scheduled to follow up directly behind them to complete planting beds and mulch.  Hardscape is scheduled to also begin next week for the patios and fences not completed last fall.  All landscaping, hardscape and fencing is anticipated to be completed in the next 30 days, and grass seed will be applied shortly thereafter when suitable temperatures are met.  We will also take this time to repair and correct any grass reseeding and repairs for the areas around the circle.  Please note that the timing of when the sitework, hardscape and landscaping work is performed is dependent on the weather.
5. Pond:  I walked the pond area on Thursday morning (3/25) and found no construction debris; the area around the pond was clean and the edges of the pond are stable.  There is a small amount of reseeding and general cleanup to remove small topsoil piles at the southwest side of the pond, and we expect this work to be completed in the next 30 days, weather permitting.  The reference to the “black tape” presumably refers to the silt fence they are seeing around the disturbed edges and detention ponds.  We are regulated by the NYS DEC to leave silt fence in place until the site is stabilized, which is typically after the grass is established and the risk for silted run-off is diminished.  We expect this fence to remain in place at least through the month of May.  Any silt fence that may have been damaged during winter will be replaced or repaired when our sitework contractor returns to the site.
6. Paving:  There is a final top coat applied around the circle of Rosewood Lane up to the north edge of Building 47.  The remainder of the top (finish) coat will be applied once all the landscaping is complete and the blacktop plants have reopened (usually mid to late April).  We anticipate this work to be completed sometime in early May weather permitting.
7. Landscaping of Phase 3C:  In response to the comment regarding the plantings of Phase 3C, we are installing the exact same types of plants in the same quantities as can be found in Phase 3A & 3B, and in accordance with the plan approved by the Town of Rhinebeck.  The comment of 3A & 3B being more “lush” can be attributed to the planting in those phases being 2-3 years older than 3C.  They have had the benefit of a couple of growing seasons to mature.  In time, Phase 3C plantings will mature and look like those in Phases 3A & 3B.  In reference to what may look like “dead” plants, I walked over to check on the plantings during my walkthrough and it appears they are just dormant from winter and buds are just beginning to “pop”.  In the event any plants are found to indeed be dead, they will be replaced when the weather permits.  I expect this work to be completed by May 15th.
8. There are several exterior punch list items that will be addressed as soon as the weather permits.  We expect all exterior work to be completed by May 20th.

Thank You

Be advised that every single step in this process is extremely dependent on DRY weather. This site is extraordinarily sensitive to moisture, thus a single, significant rain event could delay us an additional 3 to 5 working days or worse. This means that work is not only halted on actual rain days, but also several days following rain events. We are dedicated to getting these items completed as soon as possible and appreciate everyone's patience while we work through the challenges
