The road ahead

A e-mail sent out this month by the management company in part read: "The small hole in the temporary road near the south end of the model building will be repaired on Monday, Dec. 27th as long as the weather is dry and warm." It's terrific news about the repair of the pothole. But the use of the word "temporary" must strike some Palermo Palm Springs residents as odd. Our road is a continuation of Enterprise Way and is a necessary requirement for the complex. The road is part of the city-approved Palermo community development plan. It has models, a USPS mailbox, and the working office of the developer on it. It provides an important exit to San Rafael. Those of us here in 2007 remember a memo that went out to residents from the developer that read in part: "Please remember you can only travel north on Indian Canyon when exiting. For those residents wishing to travel to downtown please use extreme caution as making left turns or 'U' turns on Indian Canyon can be extremely dangerous." Dangerous, is right. Palermo residents took concerns to the city government, and the result was requiring the developer to complete this exit gate. There's nothing temporary about it, in the sense that this road is here to stay no matter what happens to the undeveloped portion of Palermo. Penny Lane says: The road ahead for Palermo is looking great, in 2011 and beyond.

I would not worry about "temporary" too much, this access road is required by the fire department for public safety. There is only on additional entrance/exit, which is the front entry. Fire Department required to entry points regardless.

I hope so since the HOA board has a lawyer and talked about suing Enterprise.
