On June 15, Delta Coves Community Life hosted a Neighborhood Café—a conversation with Delta Coves’ General Manager Nick Taratsas. He discussed recent development completions and upcoming projects including the play park structure and water campus.
Here are the highlights of that discussion:
Q&A
Will there be a road from Delta Coves Drive connecting Windsweep through Pulte’s garden product?
Yes, there will be both a road connecting the cottages to Delta Coves Drive and a boardwalk path.
Can there be a dog park in Anchor Bend Park or along Sea Drift Drive?
Currently, the dog park is planned along Windsweep Drive across from Island Camp’s entry gates.
When will the dock piles between Delta Coves Drive and Island Camp be removed?
They will be removed during pile driving season, beginning Aug. 1, 2023.
When will the developer repair sidewalks and road damage now that some streets are free from construction?
The sidewalks and roadways will be repaired prior to the Developer leaving the property. There are not any current dates for repairs.
If the sand volleyball court proves to be under-utilized, would the Developer consider replacing with a bocce ball court?
No, the Developer would not consider replacing the sand volleyball court. That decision would be made by the Association’s Board of Directors.
What can the developer do about tailgaters at entry gates?
The Developer will activate the secondary arms that will keep cars entering one at a time.
Why do the model homes not have to follow the Association’s Residential Design Guidelines?
The models are sales tools and will be brought to compliance prior to the builders selling them to a private homeowner.
When will water and utilities be turned back on at Island Camp’s common area docks?
PG&E will schedule the installation of the electrical meter.
Will there be a gated entry at Sea Drift Drive?
The gate at Sea Drift Drive will only be for emergency and Association vendor access.
Would the Developer consider moving the playground and dog park locations to off of Sea Drift Drive?
No, the Developer celebrates families and families gather at Island Camp. The dog park’s current location is planned along Windsweep Drive across from Island Camp’s entry gates. The Association’s Board of Directors may choose to relocate or add another dog park in the future once the Developer is no longer developing Delta Coves.
What are DMB’s plans for the buildings owned along Bethel Island Road?
DMB will consider selling or leasing to entities looking to create a business that will benefit Delta Coves.
What can the developer do about construction activities, especially noise, ongoing outside of the Monday – Friday, 8am to 5pm allowed window?
The Developer has reminded the builders to abide by the county building requirements.
Can the Developer require the builder to wet down the area or install 6-foot plastic or fabric fencing to protect the homes near to vacant lots?
The Developer is working on a plan to ensure the growth necessary to reduce dust remains on lots.
Can empty lots be mowed? Many people have dogs that are being exposed to unkept fields of foxtails, weeds, and stickers.
The sidewalks along empty lots can be mowed to create a clear walkway for walkers.
Can the aquatic vegetation and riprap also be maintained on empty and construction lots?
The developer clears the aquatic vegetation and riprap for the builders once as they take over the lot. The builder will clear the lot again prior closing escrow with the new homeowners. The Association will require the aquatic vegetation to be cleared should it become a nuisance.
What can the developer do to ensure safety from speeding subcontractors?
The Developer is reminding the builders to educate their subcontractors on property rules and will work with the Association for appropriate penalties for violators.
When will the corner lots on Grey Whale Place be completed and by who?
Blue Mountain owns those lots and there is no current date known to begin selling or building on those lots.
When and who will be building along the empty parcel boarded by Delta Coves Drive, Windsweep Road, and West Wind Place?
Pulte will build their cottages along that parcel. There is no current beginning date for construction.
Will there be, and if there will be, where will there be extra parking for Island Camp’s and the cottages residential use?
There are eight cottages guest parking spaces dedicated in Island Camp’s parking lot. An estimated 47 parking spaces will eventually be painted along Windweep Road. There are plans that still need county approval for overflow parking in the parcels below Windsweep Road.
Edgewater Drive has been closed for construction. When will construction begin and how long will this gate take to build?
Construction has already begun with removing landscaping irrigation and repurposing landscaping. The entire new entry should take about one year to complete.
