RE: Architectural Request - Talante H.O.A.
Dear Mr. Bilodeau,
The Talante Architectural Committee and the Board of Directors met to review your plans submitted on 12/15/16
for a new Casita addition at your existing residence.
After review, the proposed project and design is approved contingent on receipt of the clarification as outlined
below and attached:
Site plan
1. There is a slightly pitched/almost flat roof section over the bathroom at the south elevation. A parapet wall is
shown to conceal mechanical equipment. There is no dimension shown from FG to the by of the parapet, but it
looks like it could be 12'? This is setback from the p/15'. It is the neighboring property's side yard, so maybe this
isn't as much of a concern?
2. There is no elevation provided for the new arched wall and gate that connects the exiging home to the casita,
so could not tell what this detail looks like.
Construction
3. Owner must obtain all permits through City of La Quinta.
4. Owner agrees to ensure that the contractor keeps the streets, gutters and adjacent prop-,rties.clean and free of
dirt, trash, debris or other material related to or caused by the work and clean up of all street spills on a daily
basis. Sweeping the streets'every day, prior to washing down the street every night. Do :got let any'debris travel
down the streets toward any neighbors.
5. Construction hours are Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM — 5:00 PM.
6. Owner will be held responsible for any road damaged caused by contractors work or vehicles. We strongly
recommend .use of plywood sheets under roof materials of stockpiles on the road as needed to protect the road
surface. This is especially important during this period 'ofextreme heat.
7. Owner required to submit a $1,000 refundable Construction Deposit payable to Talante H.O.A.
8. Ownagrees to submit the Notice of Completion form at the end of the project.
