Deck update

As we approach the midway point of the deck project at Island Gate, we wanted to remind our neighbors to let us know about the the quality of the job and please let us know if you are happy/satisfied with the job that was being done.  If you have any comments, critiques etc. Please share them now.  The workers are in the community and have the ability to correct the issue quickly and easily.  Please don’t wait until a board meeting or next summer to voice your concern, call AA or contact a board member to share your concerns.  Thanks for your help and cooperation.

Vehicles not permitted in our community

As part of the board’s commitment to communicate with the community we want to inform you of the restrictions that our community has on vehicles.  There are no commercial vehicles of any kind allowed to park on the property including driveways and common lots.  Vehicles servicing the community on a temporary basis are exempt.  In addition to commercial vehicles, vehicles over 20 feet long, boats, trailers, campers, RVs, motor homes and mobile homes are also restricted from the property.
Page 40 of our by-laws discuss this in detail (please see link on the upper right). 

Color of the new deck planking

A few people in the community have mentioned that the color of the new deck planking is lighter than the current color of the deck. The board believed the planking color was more complimentary to the color of the siding we now have on our buildings.   The plan is once the planking is complete, is to have the stairs and walls pressure washed and stained to match the color of the new planking.  The pressure washing and staining  should occur next year.  This will make the decks uniform, and will complement the color of the buildings.  Something we have never had before. 

As always if you have any comments questions etc. please contact a board member

 

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation during this busy time in our community. 

 

PS the street sealers will be back tomorrow, please follow instructions on parking previously shared with the community

Street sealing update

The weather forecast for Friday look less than ideal, 50’s and chance of showers, for street sealing.  As a result Knifing is coming around today to see if anyone wants their drive ways sealed instead of Friday.  This is totally voluntary and they are not doing the main roads today.  If you don't want your driveway done today then no worries tell the crew to do it on the scheduled day. We are being proactive due to the weather forecast on Friday. Thanks for your understanding

Budget for 2016

We are starting budget work for 2016, if anyone has any comments, question thoughts etc.  Please feel free to share them with Ed Fortunato our treasurer, 

Street sealing update

As of today, Knifing completed the second part of the driveway and street sealing.   Please let us know if you have any issues or comments.  The first portion of the sealing didn’t go as planned.  The equipment broke down and delayed completion.  We are looking to reschedule with Knifing, as soon as we set a date we will let you know.  Apologies for the inconvenience we will be in touch. 

Bay Ave Pond Update

Our intrepid neighbors on Windward attempted to remove the rug we thought was thrown in the pond.  They were trying to do it themselves because we found no company or contractor willing to take on the task.  They soon found out it wasn’t a rug but the pond liner and stopped work.  Given that information, we are going to cover the liner with river stone (flat stones that wouldn’t puncture the liner) to protect and cover it.  Our goal is to have that task complete by the end of fall.  Thanks so much to our neighbors for taking the initiative to make the community better

 

 

Street sealing update

As you know the driveway and street sealing project will begin on October 8^th.  the sealing project will cover the driveways, streets and parking lots. 

On the 8^th the community will have Sea breeze court sealed along with the Sea breeze half of Windward.  On the 12^th the Bay Ave side of Windward and Bay Breeze will be done.  This is weather permitting. 

 

We ask that you have your cars removed from the work area the night before and you will not be able to return the vehicles until; two days after. The opposite half of the community is the ideal temporary parking area.   

 

So on the 8^th cars can return on the 10^th and work done on the 12^th cars can return on the 14^th. 

 

Please remove your vehicles promptly or they will be towed. 

 

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

 

And renters please notify and instruct your tenants
