» NOTES

When I started Residencias Los Jardines, I started writing a weekly news letter —determined to tell all the good, bad, and the ugly. I knew some readers would be interested in the construction process. I expected others might be interested in the lifestyle of two people who had decided to live outside the box. For others, the adventures of lita, the parrot and the cat took on an entertainment saga all its own.

Residencias Los Jardines is finished. We periodically have resales and rental availability. Some readers may be interested in this information.

More and more, the content will be dominated by events of our new project, "El Dorado" for short. While the future is always uncertain, I again aim to tell it like it happens —the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that is what follows.

In an effort to make the format more interesting and visually appealing and to field inquiries re. El Dorado, the news letter is now being distributed by Jan Kozak, Marketing Manager, Hacienda El Dorado. I will remain the author.

NOTE:  Hopefully the distribution problems we've experienced over the past month are behind us.  We'll see.

» CONSTRUCTION LOG

SETENA:  We have the final, signed agreement.  This clears the way for many things as well as giving us the right to build a roadway over the quebrada to the black water treatment plan, a bridge over the stream, and a retaining wall which will be the back wall of the Maya Tower.  We won't be doing this work right away but we have the permission to when we are ready.

Uso de Suelo--Land Use Permit: The amended survey has been stamped by the Muni.  It is now in the hands of the National Registry where it is expected to be released on Wednesday.  When released, it will be returned to the Muni along with a request for them to issue the Uso de Suelo....land use permit.....and they can now use the amended plans number which seemed to be the obstacle they had issue with...they wanted us to solve their problem.  We did.

Well Water:  We are still waiting but if the 15 day wait is accurate, we should be getting this at the end of this coming week or early the following week. 

Timing:  We now feel we will have all the documents in hand for application to INVU by around mid July.  From then, we are advised that it normally takes four weeks....  We're getting closer, much closer.
