Halloween is this coming Sunday!
We are looking forward to seeing all the children dressed up in their costumes.
Safety First:
Please be on the watch for children, families, and pets that might be walking in the street.
Drive slowly, as always, through the neighborhood.
Your Light Posts:
Please be sure to replace any lightbulbs that are not working on your lamp post by the driveway. It gets very dark at night when these lamp posts are not working.
If your lamp post sensor is not functional for dusk-to-dawn lighting, be sure to replace that sensor before Sunday. Note that it is the responsibility of each resident for maintaining a properly working lamp post at their home year-round.
Let’s make our Halloween celebrations a memorable, fun time for all the children in Siena Oaks.
Never forget, safety first.
Finally, we love the creativity of many of our residents who have decorated their homes for Halloween.
Here is a link to the Halloween Photo Album of these festive houses on our Facebook page (“Siena Oaks of Palm Beach Gardens”).
Thank you,
Your Siena Oaks Board
Lillian, Sandy, Dave & Saen
Siena Oaks Road Repaving Update 10/22/2021
After review by our attorney, the contract with All-County Paving Solutions has been signed.
Federal Engineering & Testing was also hired to oversee the entire repaving project. They will be on-site next Tuesday morning, October 26, to start the various tests of the existing pavement which are required prior to repaving.
All-County has advised that there is an approximately three-month window for permitting, surveys, etc.
As of now, All-County is looking to start the work at the beginning of the first quarter of 2022.
We will keep everyone updated as the date approaches via email, website, and our Facebook page (“Siena Oaks of Palm Beach Gardens”).
Thank you,

Power Outage Explained
Siena Oaks Homeowners,
GRS inquired into what caused the recent power outage and was advised that an Oak tree near the corner of Allamanda Blvd and Burns Rd was the culprit.
FP&L also advised that customers can visit www.FPL.com/trees to report any vegetation they believe is interfering with power lines.
Thank you.

Landscaping Statement by the Board of Directors
August 12, 2021
Our manager is working to get a schedule for our landscapers service dates. We understand our regular weekly service will be Thursday/Fridays beginning August 19th & 20th. The hedge-shrub trimming/weeding crews are scheduled for once a month, date(s) to be determined. Our goal is to have a quarterly calendar with all required services, fertilization dates as well as a copy of the landscapers contract on our web-site.
As far as irrigation, GRC will be doing an audit of each of our homes irrigation system, giving the homeowner & HOA a status report of just how many systems are working properly or are in need of attention. Anytime a homeowner has an irrigation problem, simply contact our manager and he will submit a work order to GRC. (Understand that the HOA is responsible for any broken sprinkler heads, everything else is the homeowners responsibility.)
Thank you,
Lillian, Sandy, Dave & Saen
August 9, 2021
Landscapers are scheduled to be here tomorrow morning Tuesday 8/10. Please check that your lawns are clear of any obstacles and your gates are in good repair.
Thank you.
Lillian, Sandy, Dave & Saen
August 5, 2021
Since the last update we have not heard from or seen Precision Landscaping. The Board has signed on a new company, GRC Landscaping, that is scheduled to begin next Thursday & Friday 8/12-13. Due to no service this week, we have requested to have them come before then, which they believe they can. Understand though that our regular days for service will be Thursday & Friday each week following.
Again, the Board appreciates your patience as we work through this.
Thank you,
Lillian, Sandy, Dave & Saen

Community Landscape Update
Today, 7/29/2021, our landscapers were sent a letter by our attorney requesting immediate termination of their services. Pending their response, a new company has been selected and vetted by our attorney and is available to start immediately. Also understand that Precision has not been paid for June & July and it is the board’s full intention not to pay August either.
The board completely understands your frustrations and appreciate your patience while we work through this.

Siena Oaks Board of Directors

Neighbors,
Your Board of Directors would like to bring you up to date regarding issues with our landscape company.
This week (5/11-13), as we’re sure you have noticed, lawns were either not edged, not trimmed (or very badly scalped), not blown, badly damaged by tires pivoting or just plain missed completely. Our manager and Board members have received the most calls, texts and emails ever this week concerning landscaping.
Understand that Precision has been put on notice that this specific crew will not be allowed back until properly trained and supervised.
Also understand that our contract expires in September and that we may not be renewing it.
We apologize for the inconvenience but rest assured action is being taken to resolve this issue.
Siena Oaks Board of Directors
Annual Meeting on March 16
Landscaping Update
Because Precision Landscaping’s many clients switch to bi-weekly service November 1st, they mistakenly missed us the week of November 4th. As our contract states, bi-weekly service will start November 15th. Be advised they will be servicing our community this week, 11/11, and the week of 11/18, then transition to bi-weekly service.
Also, starting Tuesday 11/12, the overgrown hedges in the Estate Home section will be trimmed.
Allamanda Drive zoning changes removed from Thursday’s North Palm Beach council agenda
The developer of Prosperity Village, proposed for the northwest corner of Allamanda Drive and Prosperity Farms Road, has decided against moving forward yet on the development, according to Jeremy Hubsch, Village of North Palm Beach community development director. Zoning and future land use changes that would add density at that location, already approved by the village planning board, were to be considered for final approval by the North Palm Beach Village Council on Thursday, Oct. 24.
However, according to Hubsch, the developer is considering changing the site plan for the property, which would restart the whole process. The developer, New Urban Communities, had planned to add eight townhomes and 12 single family homes on that property.
So far, this year’s only remaining North Palm Beach planning board meetings, according to Hubsch, are Nov. 14 and Dec. 12.
