HOA BUDGET MEETING TONIGHT, DEC. 2, 7:OO PM, LIBRARY

The HOA will hold a special budget meeting on Tue., Dec. 2, 7:00 pm., in the Chester Library to adopt a budget for 2009. (Normally, HOA Board meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month in the Village Hall (the Association of the Arts office), but the officers felt that the Village Hall might not accommodate the larger number of homeowners that would want to atttend a budget meeting, and the library was not available for Wednesday evening. That is also the reason that the Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 6, at the Library.)

FOUNTAIN REPAIRED AND WORKING AGAIN

Our fountain's motor has been rebuilt and is now working again.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL

And many thanks to Howard Corey, our HOA Pres., for persevering through the long and frustrating process of getting the alleyways sealed!

LAST ALLEYWAY SEALING MAY BE COMPLETED NOV. 20 - 21

"I know you have heard this before, but the vendor just called and informed me that the alley ways are dry and tomorrow forecast is warm enough for him to finish the sealing project. He is planning to start at about 7:30 AM. Therefore, if your garage is on one of those alley ways that has not been sealed, you need to move your car to the street by 7:30 AM tomorrow and park on the street tomorrow night. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.

Please advise any neighbor who does not receive these emails."

--Howard Corey, HOA Pres.

NORTH/SOUTH BRANNER STATION PARKWAY CANCELLED

Word has been received from HH Hunt and Dorothy Jaeckle that HH Hunt has ended their commitment to build Branner Station and the off-site roads.

We are awaiting further confirmation of this information through a press release from HH Hunt. From the information we gathered, it is due in part to the current real estate market slowdown, the financial situation with the banks, and the unwillingness of one of the land owners to extend options on the property. (Click on map to enlarge it.)

The work of BARD and the Chester Community Association (CCA) probably played a role in this decision. Be aware, though, this does not mean that Hunt or another developer cannot step in and start the project again, or a similar project, etc. The BARD core group plans to continue monitoring this matter as well as taking up some other important issues that affect us.

BUILDING COLLAPSE CAUSE REVEALED

On Oct. 3, The Richmond Times Dispatch published the following information:

A grand jury has determined no one was criminally negligent in the fatal collapse of a building in Chester [Village Green, on Fountain Square Plaza] last month, but a county-hired engineer has found the contractor to blame for faulty bracing.

The two-story building at 4301 Fountain Square Plaza collapsed on Sept. 10 after drywall was loaded onto a floor supported by an unbraced steel stud designed to bear less than half the weight placed on it, according to an engineering analysis released yesterday by Chesterfield County.

The grand jury concluded yesterday that there was no evidence of either criminal conduct or "culpable and gross negligence of any party or government entity regarding this incident."

According to W. Carter Sinclair Jr., an engineer based in Virginia Beach who was hired to analyze the collapse, the county is responsible for inspecting and approving permanent, but not temporary, bracing during construction. "This is a gray area . . . however it is still the ultimate responsibility of the contractor."

ALLEYWAYS TO CLOSE FOR REPAIRS

Our HOA (Home Owners' Association) President, Howard Corey, has sent the following notice:

Repair of the alleyways starts Oct. 8.

Once the repairs are completed, cones will be put out to close them off. Once the alley ways have been paved, stay off the new paved area for at least two days. For some of the residents this might require parking on the streets for a couple of days.Thanks in advance for your cooperation. The places where you have seen red circles in the alley ways are where repairs are taking place.

NORTH-SOUTH PARKWAY TO BE TOPIC AT SUPERVISOR'S CONSTITUENT MEETING

A constituent meeting will be held on Monday, Oct. 6, at 7 PM, at Chesterfield Community High School, 12400 Branders Bridge Road.

Hunt and the Transportation Dept. to be available during the question and answer period to answer questions about the roads and Branner Station.

This new road will impact Chester Village Green. This is your chance to find out what the plans are and to express your opinion. (Click on map image to enlarge it.)

COLLAPSED BUILDING CLEARED AWAY, STREETS OPENED

The rubble from the collapsed building on Fountain Square Plaza facing our Green has now been completely cleared away, only the back retaining wall (right) remains.
