Although today is only the first day of fall, we at Island Gate
have winter on our minds. If voting for
board members and hearing the latest about the community isn’t motivation enough
to come to the meeting tomorrow, perhaps this will help. We will be giving out the orange magnets that
will expedite snow removal at people’s homes this coming winter.
We discussed ways to speed up snow removal for people who are in
the community during the winter and came up with the magnet idea. We think this will help people who are at
Island Gate in the winter get dug out sooner.
Here are the instructions for the magnet we posted to the blog
in July of this year. please review the
instructions
This magnet is to be placed on your garage door, in the upper
left hand corner of the door. When snow
is predicted and you prefer to have your property cleared of snow first, put
the magnet on the door. This will allow our snow contractor to prioritize
his work schedule based on the needs of the homeowners at the community at that
time. We are doing this in response to
feedback our neighbors provided after the storm in January of 2016.
Once the property is cleared of snow, the magnet is to be promptly
removed by the homeowner. The magnet is
not to be left on the door all winter. Damage to the metal garage door will
result when the magnet is left attached for an extended period of time.
Any damage resulting from the extended placement of the magnet is the sole
responsibility of the homeowner. Any magnet found on a door when snow is
not in the forecast will result in a violation and removal of the magnet and
loss of priority privilege.
Of course we are hoping for a snow free winter this year. The extra funds allow us to do more in the community
than shovel snow, but when it does, we hope this helps speed up the process and prioritize
neighbors and as always please let us
know if you have any questions, comments etc.
