Gas Lines, Dryer Vents and Under Deck Storage

There have been a number of efforts by the Board of Island Gate and by our management company to communicate with our neighbors regarding rule and by-law issues in the community.  There are three specific items the board is focused on and we are looking to have corrected immediately. 

The first is dryer vent cleaning.   We were suppose to have our vents cleaned and have proof of cleaning sent to our management company in late 2010.  If you have completed this task thanks for your attention.  If you haven’t gotten around to it PLEASE do it immediately and forward proof.  There are a number of dryer services in the yellow pages, if you need a service.

The next issue is gas lines.  This isn’t the grill issue, it’s the gas line from the house supplying a grill.  Back in April, we noted a number of gas lines outside of the home that were not up to code and therefore do not have a permit.  Please apply for a permit and correct the out of code situations.  In addition there are even more homes with gas lines that never received permits for them, please go to Stafford town hall and apply for and receive a permit.

Finally, under the deck is not an approved storage area and there should be nothing under the deck.  We have discussed this twice on our blog with very limited community reaction.  Please remove all items from under your deck immediately.

The board is focused on and serious about community safety and ascetics.   Although these rules haven’t been enforced in the past they will start to be enforced now.  The board doesn’t want to, but has the right to fine violators $25 a day for each violation and will begin to this process in the near future.  So please take care of business and let’s make this community even safer and more attractive.  If you have any questions or issues please contact AA at 732-294-8882.  Thanks.
