raintreevcc's avatar by

The Raintree paving project will begin on July 8. Paving will continue throughout the community until July 13. Please read the information below for the sealcoating schedule, how to avoid fines, and if you rent out your condo, a reminder of the requirements for all renters and the responsibility of the owner to register the renter(s) with Vista Management.

If you are unsure where to park during this project, see the Parking Instructions for the paving project.

Parking Instructions for Paving Project July 8-13

raintreevcc's avatar by

The Raintree paving project will begin on July 8. Paving will continue throughout the community until July 13.

Below are the parking instructions for the paving project. Find either your building number or condo address for the dates where paving will be done in your area. The map below is also color coded to show what areas will be paved and when. This map is also posted at the pool and the mailboxes. You must move and park your car out of the work zone before 7 a.m. on the day work is to commence during the dates designated for your area. There are parking spaces marked ‘guest’ around Raintree and additional parking is available at the Ventura Administration Building and along Lake Pointe Drive. Please be sure that when you are relocating your car into another parking spot, that you are not parking in a resident reserved parking spot.

There will be a tow truck ready and available to relocate vehicles as needed, at the owner’s expense. If for any reason a vehicle IS NOT relocated prior to 7 a.m. on the day work begins to the area assigned for your condo address (see map), the vehicle will be towed and moved, and the owner will be responsible for any/all expenses incurred. If we are unable to identify the owner of a vehicle prior to having it towed, it will be towed off property in which case the expense is much greater.

Once the work is complete, we anticipate that you will be able to travel/park on the pavement 24 hours after the final coat. Please be advised that this is an ESTIMATE timeframe only and could change based on unforeseen circumstances/delays. Please note that if any area is delayed it will be moved to the following day excluding weekends.

Please note that there will be no garage access for those units with garages during the designated work dates below.

Attention Homeowners and Renters with Dogs

raintreevcc's avatar by

The Raintree Board of Directors has been dealing with multiple issues regarding several dogs in the community that need to be brought to the attention of everyone with dogs. There have been a few incidences where Ventura pet rules have been broken, creating dangerous and disruptive situations for residents with and without dogs.

Please remember:

1. Any dog MUST be on a leash, no matter the size.

2. All UNIT OWNERS are responsible for the actions of their dogs and/or their renter’s dogs.

3. Owners MUST pick up after their dogs. Not cleaning up after your pet is breaking the law. Bring a bag, pick-up the waste and dispose of it in the trash.

4. Owners must not allow their dogs to be unattended (or leave them unattended for extended periods of time) which often results in constant barking that is annoying to others.

All of the above is OUT OF CONTROL and the Raintree Board has had many, many complaints of all of these rules not being followed and are actively looking for how to implement fines for ignoring the rules (which can be done).

Thank you for your cooperation. These rules are in place to create a safe environment for all residents and their pets.

Wind Mitigation Reports Available on the Homeowner Portal

raintreevcc's avatar by

Wind Mitigation reports are now available on the Vista Management Raintree Homeowner Portal under “Documents”. These reports may help with your homeowners insurance. To locate these reports, you must log into the homeowner portal. Once you log in, select the icon “Docs”. This will take you to the main documents section of the portal. Look for “Community Correspondence”. Select the arrow next to “Community Correspondence” and this will open up the Wind Mitigation Reports folder.

To learn how to access the portal, find your building number and/or for detailed instructions on where to look in the portal for these reports, see below.

How do I log into the homeowner portal?

For more information on how to access the homeowner portal, visit the homeowner log-in page.

Do I need access to the portal to receive a copy of the wind mitigation report?

Yes. All homeowners receive access to the portal. It is important to use the portal, since this is where you can track correspondence with Vista Management, locate documents, and submit work orders/service requests. If you do not have access to the homeowner portal, you will need log-in credentials from Vista Management in order to access your account details. If you need access or have difficulty logging in, call Vista Management at 407-682-3443.

How do I know what building report to download?

To the find the report you need, you must first identify your building number. To find your condo unit’s building number, see the Raintree Phase Map. Using the map key, locate your unit number/street and this will give you the corresponding building number. The Wind Mitigation reports are organized by building number.

I cannot locate “Documents” in the homeowner portal. What do I look for?

When you log into the portal, the first page you will see is the dashboard. Select the icon for DOCS:

This will open the page for all documents available for Raintree. Find “Community Correspondence”. Select the arrow, and this will open up the folder for “Wind Mitigation Reports”. Select the arrow next to this folder, and this will open a drop-down menu showing all wind mitigation reports available for download. Find your building, select the report, and a PDF will open. You will be able to download and save the PDF to your device.

Please note: The Raintree Homeowner Portal is maintained by Vista Management. The portal is not associated with this Raintree website. Raintree has two locations for information on the web 1) the homeowner portal, which requires a log-in from Vista Management (homeowners only) and 2) this Raintree website which contains news, documents and other community information that anyone can access, no log-in required. Some documents can only be accessed through the portal for security reasons.
