Meeting
The
January 2020 Board of Directors Meeting will be held on Monday, January 27,
2020 in the gym at 6:00pm.
Holiday
Tree Disposal
The Association will not have a
drop off location this year due to fire safety concerns. However, City of San Diego Environmental
Services Departments has locations to drop your tree off to with the two
closest locations being Memorial Recreation Center in Logan Heights, 2902 Marcy
Ave and Golden Hill Recreation Center located at 2600 Golf Course Drive.
Pets
(OTOI Form)
If you have an animal in the
Community and have not registered it with Management, please fill out the OTOI
form and the Pet Registration form that can be found on your Resident Portal. Owners must obtain this information from
their renters. It is imperative
Management has this information, as this is a requirement by the CC&Rs. Please submit your form no later than January 30, 2020 to prevent a
violation.
Improperly
Stored Bikes
As
a reminder, bicycles stored in the two rooms in the garage require an annual
fee and a bike registration form filled out and on file with Management. Please
contact Management at ggrana@actionlife.com to
register your bike. Bikes not registered
will be removed. Management will
store the bike until January 15, 2020.
If not claimed, by that date, the bike will be donated.
Short
Term Rental
It is important to know than
renting your unit for less than 30 days is considered a short-term rental and
homeowners could be fined up to $5,000 for this violation.
Shopping Carts
The Association
has shopping carts located in the garage near the elevator for the resident’s convenience,
when a resident is finished with the shopping cart please return the cart to
the garage near the elevator.
Proper
Use of Garbage Disposals
The use of a garbage disposal in a
stacked units is much different than a single-story home. Please throw away your food into the
garbage. By putting foods down the
disposal (rice, pastas, eggshells, etc.) the chance of a backup in your unit or
the one below you increase resulting in costly damage paid by all owners via
monthly assessments and can affect next years budget.

Columbia
Street Sidewalk Trees
There has been a lot of concern
over the look of the trees that reside on the north part of Columbia Street
sidewalk. The Board submitted a permit request to the City in May and the
installation of the new trees was denied due to Columbia Place not having a
permanent irrigation system. Pacific
Green Landscaping and the City has evaluated these trees and they are in good
health with adequate care. The look is characteristic for these trees,
unlike a maple or oak, and is not in any way indicating they are dying or
lacking care. Given this review the Board will not be addressing this
issue any further and will not entertain removal of healthy trees to replace
them with another variety.
Proper
Use of Garbage Disposals
Columbia Place continues to
experience kitchen sink back-ups. Use of
a garbage disposal in a stacked unit situation is much different than a single
story home. Please throw away your food
into the garbage. By putting foods down
the disposal (rice, pastas, eggshells, etc.) this increases the chance of a
backup in your unit or one below you – resulting in costly damage paid by all
owners via monthly assessments and can affect the following years budget.
