Driving in Island Gate

With the busy summer season upon us, there will be many people coming to Island Gate to enjoy the summer. Please be conscious of this when driving and parking your vehicle.  Following some simple rules will keep everyone safe and happy over the summer.

We ask that the established rules be followed in the community for the safety and courtesy of everyone in Island Gate, including visitors and guests.

·         Please come to a full stop at ALL stop signs
·         Please observe the community speed limit of 15 MPH
·         Please keep a 10 foot space between any car and fire hydrant. 
·         Please No double parking
·         Please No parking in other peoples drive ways without the express consent of the affected neighbor
·         Please No parking on the grass and please stay off the Belgian blocks, they are expensive to repair
·         No blocking of driveways no matter how small the blockage is, UNLESS ITS YOUR OWN
·         Absolutely no blocking of the sidewalks in anyway whatsoever. 

The community has two overflow parking lots that are less than 50 yards from every home in the community.  There are numerous, well lit, well-marked spots in both lots, please feel free to use them.  The less cars in the street the safer our community will be, especially at stop signs and intersections. 
 
Please keep safety a priority and don’t jeopardizes the safety of your loved ones and your neighbors.  Please follow the rules and keep Island Gate safe this summer.

Smoke alarm battery reminder

We like to post this reminder at least once a year

Smoke alarm batteries need to be changed twice a year and the smoke alarm itself should be inspected and tested at that time.  Please check it for operation, hit the test button, dust it off, make sure the sensor is clean. 

As the community approaches 10 years of age most smoke alarms are coming to the end of their expected lives.  We wanted to remind you, to replace them if they aren’t operating at 100%.  Fire, smoke and CO alarms save lives and they are an inexpensive way to be safe.  As always, if you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact the board.

Board Elections coming up... get your self nominations in

As it gets later in the summer our annual board election is upon us.  The Island Gate Homeowners Association will be holding its Annual Election meeting on September 19th at 7:30 pm.  It will be held at  the Stafford Township Municipal Building (where the Memorial Day meeting was held).
