RENEWAL UPDATE FROM THE PRESIDENT
By Deborah Langhoff
As we begin our third year since Katrina, the LVPOA Board takes a close look at our neighborhood. Lake Vista continues to make great progress. Our volunteers strive to insure that Lake Vista remains as beautiful as it was before Katrina. Many have contributed to this Recovery Update, as the level of civic involvement in our little community remains a source of pride for all of us. Most of our residents are home, tending gardens, walking lanes, driving too far for groceries, and coping with the problems that all New Orleanians encounter because we live in a recovering city. Many are caring for neighbors’ responsibilities as well, pulling out poison ivy, clearing storm drains, and tending our greenspaces. All property owners should follow municipal codes and neighborhood restrictions. Education and cooperation contribute to our successful rebuilding, as more of New Orleans returns to normal. Residents are urged to use the “hot sheets” provided on the website to alert the 3rd District Quality of Life officers about abandoned properties, tall grass, curfew violations, and other nagging problems. Some property owners are battling to return, orchestrating repairs from a distance. While most insurance awards have been settled, only one-fourth of Road Home applicants have received their proceeds, so continued rebuilding is expected. The challenges of maintaining two residences are considerable, and our Board is doing everything possible to bring residents home quickly. In this newsletter, those who are simply holding property and not planning to return will find important information. The residents who are reinvesting in our neighborhood deserve to live among others who are back
or moving toward rebuilding, and not next to blighted property. The process of recovery is, by nature, fraught with difficult decisions and plagued by strained resources, but I have every confidence that the residents of Lake Vista will continue to rise above and work past these challenges. It is a tribute to our citizens and the many grassroots volunteer organizations for stepping up and helping ourselves and each other. And now, despite two frustrating years, we are seeing signs of renewal and rebuilding on every block. District 5 News The LVPOA Board supports two initiatives from the District 5 Steering Committee: the Lake Area Zoning Ordinance; and the Lake Area Community Center. Planning includes a gym area, pool, health center, and meeting rooms, with parking. The Community Center is planned as a multi-denominational facility that is an important building block for the community that will offer recreational and educational opportunities to Lake Area residents.
Coming Back
The proposed Lake Area Zoning Ordinance includes our most important neighborhood covenants, underscoring their relevance. This Ordinance will be heard before City Council in the near future. The Zoning Committee that has developed this project is led by Martin Landrieu. With my participation and that of Steve Villavaso and other Lake Vista residents, the ordinance was directed toward insuring the protection of Lake Vista’s parks and greenspaces from development and to enhance clarity about our neighborhood covenants. Other neighborhoods like the French Quarter and the Garden District already have their own zoning districts, and our area will benefit from following suit. Army Corps of Engineers Prompted by requests from residents, I asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to re-inspect the Orleans Canal levee on the southwest corner of the Robert E. Lee and Marconi intersection, where we have a beautiful little cypress swamp. After several false starts, the Corps’ Branch Chief of the Hurricane Protection Office, John Ashley, understood that the concern was two-fold. Because an area that was wet only periodically last year is now wet all of the time, the neighborhood needed a new assessment of where the water is coming from…but more importantly, regardless of the source, I asked for the assurance that long term water adjacent to the levee does not affect its stability from the outside. Jerry Colletti from the Corps addressed that point, “The ponding water is NOT a threat to the structural integrity of the levee or floodwall. A threat comes from water passing under the levee and floodwall from one side to the other causing a void underneath which could (emphasis on "could") result in failure. The piezometer tests and S&WB water test do not indicate this type of threat occurring at the site.” City Park promptly responded to inquiries with a promise to correct this condition, without endangering the beautiful cypress trees. On another note, at a public meeting on August 16 , the Corps distributed an interim status report on Canal Testing and the Levees and Outfall Canal Permanent Pumps. This was the first public meeting since the July 17th partnering sessions where progress was made in discussions among the Corps, the Sewerage and Water Board, the Levee Boards, Orleans and Jefferson Parish officials, and members of the business community. There was a crucial oversight during this process that omitted leadership from the neighborhood associations involved along the Lakefront. The Corps reacted quickly to this oversight by promising closer conversation with neighborhood representatives. Neighborhood representatives were invited to the load testing at the London Avenue Canal and will meet with Col. Bedey to discuss design and placement of permanent pumping stations at the Lakefront.

Our neighborhood patrol offers added protection when arriving home after dark or when there is suspicious activity. A new supply of patrol signs has been ordered and will be delivered to paid patrol members who have requested them. A tremendous thank you goes to the many residents who contribute their knowledge, time, and hard work to the upkeep and improvement of our neighborhood. I’d also like to extend a standing invitation to all our residents to join in the volunteer effort. Sincerely, Deborah J. Langhoff President (On a personal note, many have confused me with my sister-in-law, Deborah B. Langhoff, and also with our sister-in-law Cathy Langhoff. We are married to brothers and are all Lake Vista property owners.)

Blighted and Unkempt Properties in Lake Vista
By James A. Brown
Our neighborhood has made great strides in recovering from Katrina, as anyone who walks our beautiful streets, lanes, and parks can see. The Association is very sensitive to the hardships our residents have had to contend with, from the storm to insurance companies, government bureaucracy, and other obstacles to rebuilding. Despite our admirable progress, over two years after the storm more than a few properties in the neighborhood remain in a blighted or unkempt condition. Problems range from severely overgrown lawns and weeds, trash, and debris to homes that have not been gutted or are in need of immediate repair. These problems affect the values of surrounding property and in some instances even threaten health and safety. Homeowners are reminded that our building restrictions require regular upkeep...from Section XVI, "All trees, shrubbery, flowers, lawns or others vegetation on private residential lots shall be kept in good order by the private owners or their tenants.” The Association is taking steps to address these issues. Association representatives have compiled a list of blighted and/or severely unkempt properties and have contacted many of the owners. In most instances, the owners have expressed their desire and commitment to address the problems. As this year progresses, the Association will be taking other appropriate steps to reduce and eliminate blight in our neighborhood. Thanks to everyone for paying attention to these important issues and for being considerate of one another.

People, Plants and Perspective
By Susan M. Garcia
One of the alluring features of Lake Vista is its unique design layout. We live here because no two homes are alike; hence no two gardens are alike. Our subdivision looks unique because it IS unique. A timely reminder – Lake Vista was designed so that your main entrance would be the lane/park side of your home – that is your front yard. The street side has, over the years, become the de facto entrance to most homes, but this original design feature is worth remembering when you landscape your home. It is why maintenance of our lane side entrance is so important. This brings me to revisit a topic that I had written about in the newsletter a long time ago. This is a relevant topic to readdress because so many new residents have relocated into the area and so many of us have had to redo our landscaping after Hurricane Katrina. I’m referring to the use of our parks and lanes for the benefit of all residents, young and old alike. There are specific restrictions regarding planting along the lane (front) side of your home. In addition, there are specific restrictions regarding the usage of the park spaces. I hope to relay this information so that we can all follow the rules and keep Lake Vista beautiful and distinct. Remember – one man’s flower is another man’s weed. No restriction exists that describes what type of material or plants with which you choose to landscape. Some prefer the “well-maintained” look; others prefer the “natural, spreading” look. Both can fit quite comfortably within the restrictions of our environs! If you have not done so, please refer to Sections XIV and XV (both available on the home page of our web site). In regards to parks – “reserved for the common use of the property owners…nothing shall be placed thereon…” This is fairly straightforward – play sets, benches, even plantings, are NOT allowed under this restriction. It only makes sense. The Levee District owns the parks. If you have play equipment on their property, that becomes a legal liability for THEM if an injury occurs. It doesn’t matter if you maintain the area in terms of grass cutting, etc.; it simply isn’t allowed. Personal plantings on triangles come under the same concept – while you may think they look nice, others may not. Common use means that – all of us should be able to enjoy the space. Now this doesn’t mean you can’t use the space for temporary play items – those fun water slides, inflatable jumping houses – that sort of thing – just take it down as soon as you can once you are finished with the party.

As far as lanes are concerned, there are more pressing reasons why the restrictions must be followed – courtesy and crime prevention. Because we are all living on dead-end streets, ingress and egress to our homes is augmented by the interlocking lane system. If it is difficult for you to walk down a lane because of dense shrubbery, then it is easy for a criminal to hide or escape using the same dense foliage. Remember – you don’t own the land 15 feet from the centerline of the lane. If Entergy, Cox, AT & T or Sewerage & Water Board need access to that ground, they are within their rights to dig up whatever you have planted. And they are under no obligation to put back whatever you planted because you do not OWN the land. Do you really want to risk having to rip up hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars? As for planting along fences (fencing restriction is addressed in a separate article), the rules are quite easy to follow: along your front property line (lane side/park side), hedges and shrubbery are to be no more than 2 feet in height; side property – 6 feet in height; back property – no restriction. In addition, “all trees, shrubbery, flowers, lawns and other vegetation on private residential lots shall be kept in good order by the private owner or their tenants.” This is pretty straightforward, no? If we all ignore this simple issue, then the lane (front) side of our homes will look more like alleyways (think: Lakeview) and we will lose one of the more interesting design features of our community. Again, common sense should be the rule – no one wants every yard to look the same, but no one wants to live in a fenced-off jungle either. Remember – the restrictions are there for all of us so that Lake Vista can retain its special “look.” Please adhere to them. *****

Light Outages
By Laura Carman
The repair and maintenance of lightposts on streets and lanes has been turned over to the City by Entergy. According to Robert Mendoza, Director of Public Works for the City, light outages need to be reported oneby-one to 311 or to 658-2299. A contractor working for the city has been hired to fix the light outages. Repairs of those lights that are out due to underground wiring or broken poles or fixtures will not start until September 2007 at the earliest. LVPOA’s volunteers identified hundreds of lights out that were reported in 2006 to the City and in turn to Entergy when the company handled the repairs. Many of the lights we identified were repaired by Entergy, but some were not, particularly on the lanes and parks. Entergy was approached about completing our list, but shortly thereafter, the City took back this function from Entergy. Mendoza has declined further lists. He commented by email: “The nature of street lighting is that creating lists of lights out is a perpetual and never-ending function. For this reason, the Department contracts a night patrol of every street light in the City on a weekly basis. As for the new contractor's ramp up schedule, it was presented at the Public Works Committee meeting last week and can be seen

seen on channel 6 during rebroadcasts. This neighborhood has posed problems in the past with night patrols because of the lights on the lane, and [Department of Public Works] has the responsibility of making sure that those lights are checked weekly as well.” Given that our lane and park lights are hard for the City to patrol, please check those near you and call them in if they are out to 311 or to 658-2299. Please give the operator the nearest municipal address, lane, or park name and pole number (e.g., QY 103). Do not assume that your neighbor has already reported a light. It is better to overreport. If we continue to report these lights one by one, we might one day see our lights all restored.

Beautification Report
By Patricia Fullmer
Our large tree canopy contributes to the unique quality of life in Lake Vista and our property values. Most of the large trees were gifts to us by the Orleans Levee District planting trees in our parks and lanes and the City of New Orleans planting our street trees when the neighborhood was first developed. It is up to us to protect and care for these valuable assets for future generations to enjoy. Large mature trees provide more value and benefits than smaller ornamental trees. They cool the air, lower paved surface temperatures, improve environmental quality, increase energy efficiency, sustain bird populations, aid drainage of rain water, and enhance attractiveness and residential value. Trees are also known to reduce stress, noise pollution, and exposure to ultraviolet light. Trees promote a better sense of community by creating walkable sidewalks. When it comes to trees, size really does matter. For any trimming of city trees, a permit must be obtained from Parks and Parkways. A permit is issued to a licensed and insured tree company and not to the property owner. A rule of thumb is that City property on Lake Vista lots can be measured using 25 feet from the center line of the street toward the house except for Wren Street and Lark Street which is 30 feet. Parks and Parkways’ telephone number is 658-3200. The lanes and the parks are owned by Orleans Levee District (OLD). Lane servitudes are 15 feet from the center of the lane sidewalk toward the house. Our building restrictions, Section XVII Upkeep of Parks and Lanes, put the burden of maintaining the lanes upon the homeowners. That section gave permission for a majority of the homeowners to form an association that would maintain the lane area, and to assess its members for such maintenance. Such an association was never formed. (LVPOA was formed as a neighborhood association with voluntary membership, by a small group of residents, and has no assessment powers.) In the absence of such an association, Section XVII permits the OLD to perform the work and assess the adjoining homeowners for the cost. The Orleans Levee District has been divided into Flood Control Assets and Non Flood Control Assets. Our lanes and parks are now under the jurisdiction of the Non Flood Control Assets and are managed by the Louisiana Division of Administration. Although the OLD in past years maintained the trees adjacent to homeowner’s properties, the restrictions regarding the maintenance of trees as outlined in our Building Restrictions are now being enforced.
Thus, to trim a lane tree or to remove a dead, damaged, or declining tree in a lane, adjacent property owners must obtain a permit from OLD. Permits will be issued to a licensed, insured tree company and not to the property owner. If a property owner is unable or unwilling to hire a licensed, insured tree company to perform the needed tree maintenance, OLD will contract with an acceptable tree company to perform the work and collect the estimated cost from the property owner and then have the work performed. Louis Capo is Director of Real Estate, Recreational, and Non-Flood Assets for OLD and can be reached at 355-5990 for a permit. This January 18, 2008, is Arbor Day and Lake Vista will celebrate Lake Vista’s cul de sacs. The celebration is sponsored by LVPOA and LVGC. Eleven cul de sacs have been targeted for maintenance and tree plantings. This challenging Arbor Day celebration can only be accomplished with the help of volunteers that live in or near these cul de sacs. The following is a list of the eleven targeted cul de sacs and the volunteers that have agreed to participate as of September 9, 2007, and be in charge of organizing their area’s participation. Without neighbor’s involvement in this effort to replant and maintain our cul de sacs, Parks and Parkways will not allow a cul de sac to participate in the program. If your cul de sac is on the list and you would like to help please contact me (388-9972 cell; pfullmer@bellsouth.net ) or Sallie Walker (286-7674 home; salgaljacobs@aol.com) for details. 1) S.

Lake Vista Garden Club Awards Program
by Alice Lowry
The Lake Vista Garden Club Awards Program promotes the beautification of Lake Vista by providing recognition to the contributions made by individual homeowners in landscaping their property. Recognition is provided by bestowing awards in three categories of achievement: the monthly “Garden of the Month,” “Le Petit Jardin”, and the annual “Hall of Honor.” Criteria for the awards: 1. The lawns and gardens must have been established for a period of three months or more. 2. Beds, trees, and shrubs are in scale and proportion to the size of the lot and the house. 3. The garden displays variety and balance in color and greenery: not just colorful annuals and perennials, but shades of green in horticulture and lawn. 4. The plants, trees, and lawns are healthy and well groomed; walkways and sidewalks are neat and clean. 5. Landscape design compliments the home and green space. More information is available on the LVPOA website.
