Feeling lonely.  Looking for a good time.  Thursdays can be the drags.... but NOT tonight. Today, September 26,  make your way to Kaiser Grille in Palm Desert on 74-040 CA-111 N and be ready to hang with some of the best neighbors in the valley.  Happy Hour for our community starts at 4 and ends at 6, but you are welcome to hang out as long as you wish.  Appetizers are on us.  Drinks are on your own.  So what are you waiting for?  

The Belmonte Estates Road Committee has met but at this time, no recommendations have been discussed by the committee or presented to the board for action.

The board has received the results of a road study by its consultant, LaBelle Marvin.  At this time, the board is in the process of getting the necessary information necessary to better understand the various recommendations regarding any road maintenance suggested by LaBelle Marvin.  It is our hope that the road committee will have the necessary information to make a recommendation to the board by the end of this summer.  As of now, no action is being considered by the board in regards making final recommendations on the roads.

​Douglas Sexton, HOA President

The Belmonte Estates Road Committee is officially in place and ready to begin meeting.  The first order of business will be to review the Core Sample Report from Labelle Marvin as well as their recommendations.  The committee will be meeting on March 5th at 5:00 to discuss the report as a group as well as walk the property.  Labelle Marvin will also participate in a teleconference with the committee members.

No matter what the recommendations are from the committee, this process will likely be one that is lengthy and will require much discussion.  When the time is appropriate, the Belmonte Estates HOA Board will schedule neighborhood meetings to solicit community input as well as share the road findings to date.

​Greetings on the this Christmas Day:


I’ll keep this short.  As you know by now, we have started the process of planning for new roads.  At the December HOA Board Meeting, the board approved a the request for a letter going out to our neighbors asking for volunteers to join a special Ad Hoc Belmonte Estates Road Advisory Committee.   The sole purpose of the committee will be to do the meet around four to five times of the next 12 —18 months and do the following:

1.     Listen to  and consider information presented by our road advisory consultant, La Belle Marvin;

2.    Discuss and construct significant questions for the board to ask of our consultant;

3.    Provide meaningful and helpful feedback for the board as they consider choosing a bid.

The committee will remain standing throughout the selection and construction process.  As chair of the committee, it is my goal to keep the number of times we meet to a minimum.  If you choose to participate, please plan on the following:

    a.     Initial meeting with the consultant and the board;

    b.    Discussion of the bids;

    c.    Planning for construction considerations that will impact residents;

    d.    Final review of completed project.

This letter will eventually be forwarded to the entire community as we look for volunteers to be considered by the board.  It is my intent to be as inclusive as possible.  We will all be impacted.  Your voice and your thoughts are essential to help the board plan for and do their best for our community as we reconstruct our neighborhood roads.

It is my goal to forward to the board the names of those interested community members who would like to participate on the advisory committee at our next scheduled board meeting at the end of January.  If you are interested, please reply to this email in the next week.

Remember - Your voice matters!  The decisions we make will directly impact the perceived value of our community.

Please feel encouraged to pass this information on to your neighbors.  Until we meet next,


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

The Belmonte Estates HOA board voted on June 25, 2018 to accept the Architectural and Landscape Committee's recommendations to improve the Kiosk island (the area with the gate reader) and monument island with new plants. The committee met many times and consulted with Albert Management and Hort inc. to find plants that would be both long lasting and look appropriate to our desert area.  The plants will be purchased and planted as soon as the weather is appropriate for ensuring survival.

Once the planting is completed, the website will be updated to reflect the new look.  Hats off to our committee members for their many hours of planning and meeting with consultants.  This was the first major undertaking of the committee and the board salutes their dedication and professionalism.  

In additional business, the board also approved a previous motion to have the gates refreshed with new paint.  The paint color will be the same as the current color.
