Summer 2023 Updates
Board Resignations
Tom Meyer and Russ Augustin have resigned from the Board of Directors and from the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Further, in light of their resignations, the Buildings and Grounds committee has been suspended until further notice.
Any request for services must be submitted on the appropriate work order form (download here). It must be submitted to Cecily in the Management Office () with a copy to the Board as instructed on the form.
Will mulch be spread this year?
Yes! Mulch will be spread in the next few weeks.
The lawn looks pretty dry. When will irrigation begin?
In an effort to keep to our budget for water this year, the irrigation will not begin running until the end of June. Normally, the months of May and June are the wettest months and there is no need for irrigation; however, if the current dry period continues, the Board, in conjunction with our landscape contractor (Villani), the Board will reconsider that decision. Please be aware that when the grass turns brown, it isn’t “dead’ but is simply dormant during dry periods.
Please do not set out your own lawn sprinklers and do not attempt to turn on the irrigation in advance of our irrigation contractor’s doing so (DJ’s Sprinkler Service). This can cause damage to the controllers and to our landscaping. Both of which are very expensive to repair/replace.
New Owners
We welcome our new owners of the past year or so. If you haven’t already received it, there is a “New Owners” packet of general information available in the office. Stop in to the office to request a copy if you have not already received it.
Some Summer Reminders
- Storage on patios and balconies – Patios and balconies shall not be used for storage including the storage of motorcycles, bicycles, tires, baby carriages, or wagons. Further, patios and balconies shall not be used for handling, shaking or drying of laundry, carpet, rugs or clothing or for grilling.
- The use of grills on the balconies of any apartment building or condo is prohibited. At ground level grills shall not be used within 10 feet of any structure and at least 36” away from any combustibles when operated. Liquid propane grills are not allowed above the ground floor and LP cylinders are never to be stored or transported through the building. They cannot be lifted to the balcony on the exterior of the building.
- The pool is now open daily from 9AM-10PM. Guest children’s hours are from 9AM-3PM daily EXCEPT that on Mondays and Thursdays the hours are extended for guest children until 4PM. If you are a new owner, you will need to obtain an entry “fob” from the management office to gain access to the pool area.
Please be courteous to your neighbors and fellow pool enthusiasts and familiarize yourself, your children and your guests with the pool rules. View the pool rules.
