> Hi folks > > > Let’s get the bad news over: Zeal Steel didn’t get the scoping project section on Alva Street reinstalled before the close down, though Craig was spotted there measuring up last Wednesday and indicated to a neighbour that reinstallation was imminent. > > Now the better news: all relevant people have finally been cornered and a meeting scheduled for Thursday 2 April. Obviously no longer on site, it will have to be on Zoom. > DCC Heritage Adviser Andrea Farminer organised for member of Heritage NZ Incentive Fund Anne Barsby to lead the meeting. (See info re that fund below) > There will also be reps from Southern Heritage Trust — the organisation we’ve been trying to persuade to take us under their wing. > We also anticipate we will finally get a legal opinion from Heritage NZ about how much of the fence is included in the Covenant (the Registration describes it — to two decimal places— as about 20m long both sides when in fact its more like 50m.) It is deeply disappointing it has been so hard to extract this important information. > > Zeal Steel’s breakdown of costs for the various elements of the scoping project are in (all ex-GST): > > Big fence post: $2035.80 (there’s nine more to do) ($18,315) > Fence panel: $1293.40 (roughly 32 more) ($41,376) > Small post $785 (?15) ($11,775) > Repurposing a fence panel as two gates: $6198.75 (?9 more new gates) > > There are several variables to be thrashed out before that cost for the gates can be projected. > > plus 3 existing gates and a few new fence or gate panels and half panels > > Lawrie from Zeal Steel has been asked to come to the meeting with suggestions on any way we could reduce these costs — especially the gates. > > So by the next UCOL meeting, there should at least be some of the unknown factors better understood. > > Cheers > Rosemarie

Alva Street road markings
by Sandy Ross 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi everyone, Alva Street road markings and kerb This is on the agenda for tomorrow evening but I will not be able to bring a useful update. Tim provided a drawing and I contacted Logan at the DCC as Tim thought we needed to get input from them before we took it to contractors for quotes. I had a meeting time with Logan for Tuesday morning this week. That then changed to a telephone conversation but once the Government announced a total shutdown, Logan thought it would not be useful to progress this until things are up and running again. Once we get clearance to begin normal communication again, I shall contact Logan at the DCC again. Frances

Private Variations Invoices - Process
by High St Cohousing 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

HI all, I had a few people asking about private variations so decided to send this email to everybody. Please note: we have not received any invoice for private variations yet. If there is a private variation request, we will ask the builders to provide a cost and we will receive a variation proposal with a $. The variation will then need to be approved (either by me or by the PCG) before doing the work. I have kept those that requested private variations informed. I have been asking to confirm by email that they are happy for me to approve the variation on their behalf. So by doing this we are keeping a record of what was approved and we know what to expect on the invoices that is coming our way. The idea is that the builders will do the work and they will invoice us at a later stage, (sometimes a few months later). I will inform individual as soon as we receive invoices related to private variations. You'll then need to be ready to pay within a week. We are organizing this (builders/accountant) to keep things separate from the main contract. Hope this is clear but let me know if you have any questions. Keep safe everybody... stay home...

Unit Plans
by Tim Ross 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi All, As we prepare move into our new homes at the end of the year (hopefully) we thought it would be a good time to issue everyone with a current set of drawings for each home. These drawing sets include floor plans, elevations, electrical plans, kitchen plans, bathroom plans and joinery plans and should be all you need to order tiles measure for furniture etc. In the link below you will see folders for each of the different unit types. Please copy these files out of your folder rather than cutting and pasting: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fmu8vsbc76bbgkm/AAB6eBpm2rwMuSiY7a2F012Ma?dl=0 Let me know if you have any issues.

Meeting Scheduled for 26 March
by Gay Buckingham 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

At this stage our meeting on Thursday will go ahead. It will be at the usual time of 7.30 (hopefully we’ll still get to hear about Rosemarie’s and Maurice’s plans at some later date). The agenda is attached. I am sending it early as this email has important information about Zoom and also because it would expedite proceedings if as many reports as possible were circulated prior to the meeting. We realise a number cannot physically attend so Zander has offered to set up Zoom (Zoom is like Skype but better for meetings). Prior to the meeting he will be sending a link via the Ucol membership list and those who would like to participate in the meeting from their home can use the link to download the app and then join into the meeting just before 7.30. For those who would like to attend the meeting and become familiar with Zoom, Jan has set up eight computers at NumberWorks’nWords and those who wish may use them. Another reason it is being sent early is because I’m a boomer and in the demographic currently grounded, I am asking if someone will offer to chair this meeting. If it were someone whose turn is later in the year, I would be happy to swap duties. Take great care. Aroha nui Gay Gay Buckingham +64 27 4544012
