Parking in the correct direction

Our biggest quality of life complaint that we have received this year is cars parked in the wrong direction.  Even though streets may be two way,   parking must be in the direction of traffic on that side of the street.  Parking in any other direction is not only inconsiderate and unsafe but against the law.  Please park in the correct direction

And remember

Please do not park on the Belgian blocks

Please do not block drive ways

Please provide clearance when parking by trash cans. 

Please drive slowly and carefully through the community

Please return empty trash cans back off the street

Election time at Island Gate

Dryer vent cleaning

It is time for all homeowners to have their dryer vents inspected and cleaned. 

Proof must be provided from a licensed professional that their dryer vents have been cleaned and are in working order. Homeowners are required to have this done every two years.

Dryer vents if not cleaned properly on a regular basis pose a fire hazard for not just your unit, but surrounding units in the community.  This is a serious issue that should not be taken lightly, especially since it’s preventable.

You may use any licensed company you want.  Your Board of Directors have done their research and found a company who does it for an affordable price.  The company is called Titans, they can be reached  at 732-458-0956 or you can email them at titansaircare@yahoo.com .  Mention that you are from Island Gate and you want your dryer cleaned for the $50.00 group rate.  They will be coming Friday August 21 and Saturday August 22.   In order to qualify for the group rate, you must schedule to have one of these two days. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the management office at 732-294-8882. 

Please submit certification/receipt by September 30, 2015 to the management office at 100 Market Yard  Freehold NJ 07782.  Or you can fax to 732-294-8884.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Community Update

Quite a bit of time and effort this year have been focused on the deck repairs in the community. 

In addition we are going to be scheduling street and driveway sealing late this summer/early fall.  We will be reaching out over the next few weeks to schedule the work and keep you informed. 

This summer, we had the roofs inspected and repaired by Englishtown, there were some nails that needed to be repaired and replaced and a few shingles also.  There was some flashing repaired also.  The board wanted to be proactive and have the roofs kept in as good condition as possible.  They are in good shape and hopefully the work we did will extend the lifespan of the roofs into the future.

Deck blog update

The board wants to thank all of the members of our community that took the time to respond to the deck survey.  42 responses were received. 

The results were as follows;

Regarding the question about returning the deck responsibility to the homeowners the response was 28 for leaving it with the association 8 moving it to the owner and 6 not making a selection.

With the question regarding refinishing the deck or replacing the planking 14 voted to refinish, 21 voted to replace the decking, 1 voted to go with the board’s decision and 6 made no decision.

The board has, by majority vote, decided to replace the deck planking with a composite type material and have met with the contractor we are considering for the project.      

If all goes well the project will be starting in September and should take 3 months give or take to complete.  Thanks to everyone who participated in the meetings and surveys

Brown Grass

The sprinklers keep the grass green and vibrant on hot summer days.  Our sprinkler system has been a source of constant maintenance over the last few years.  This years’ service needs have been particularly acute.  We have needed to replace a total of three control panels and the water main line.  The control panels determine where the water goes.  This year we started out with a panel in need of replacement and it was replaced.  About two weeks ago the panel was hit by lightning and was destroyed again.  Our reaction was lightning rods work why don’t we have one?  This was air to ground lightning with nothing we can do with that.  The panel was ordered and is being installed this week.  Our other panel is in need of replacement and we are getting a loan from our sprinkler contractor until next spring.  A quick note on our sprinkler contractor Josh Crowley, he has gone above and beyond to help us out when we needed extra work, he has been responsive and overall just terrific. 

Hopefully we will not have to mention the sprinklers in future blog posts this summer

If you have any additional comments or questions please let us know

Deck Survey

The survey is posted to the blog for your convenience; a paper copy was left at each home on Saturday July 11^th.  Please complete the form and return to AA by July 21^st.  Please let us know if you have any questions

Our decks discussion and survey

The Board of Island Gate is considering the options available to us regarding our decks and is looking for input and information from our property owners.

Details:

When our homes were built the decks were the responsibility of the individual property owner.  Several years ago a prior board had the responsibility for maintaining the decks shifted to the Homeowners Association.  When this was done the funding for this new association responsibility was not established.

Our current consideration to maintaining our decks has several options and in order for the board to make a decision we are surveying the homeowners for their opinions.  Our decks were treated four years ago, which was the second time since the construction of our community.

The decks need to be refinished and some need repairs need to be completed first.  A majority of the repairs are cosmetic in nature but need to be completed prior to applying a finishing coat.  A product that we are considering is Cabots Deck Correct.  This product provides a coating that claims to fill cracks up to ¼ inch. Full details can be found on the internet.

We are considering having the deck planking replaced with a PVC or composite material (ex. Trex).  This type product does not require staining or sealing in the future. The product can use a clip system that attaches from the side of the board. 

The advantage of repairing and refinishing is a lower price now.  The disadvantage is future refinishing/repairs costs.  The proposals to refinish all decks from professional contractors are in the $70,000 range.  We are estimating repairs to the planking to cost approximately $20,000. 

The advantage of replacing the planking is that it is a more permanent product that requires minimal maintenance (cleaning).  The cost to replace the planking on all units would be in the $150,000 -$200,000 range.  This would eliminate future planking repairs due to weathering and would lower future refinishing costs, since the planking does not need refinishing.

The cost to complete either project would not require any assessment and would not require our maintenance fees to increase.  In order to help us make this decision please fill out the attached survey and send it to our management company by July 21st:  Association Advisors 100 Market Yard Freehold, NJ 07728.

Severe thunderstorms likely late this afternoon with damaging winds and hail possible.

The combination of an upper level low over the Ohio Valley, very warm and humid conditions in place and decent wind shear values leads to an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon across the region from D.C. / Baltimore to New York City and surrounding areas.

If there is enough sunshine and temperatures get to expected highs (near 90), this will provide the energy for strong wind gusts and isolated large hail. Although the tornado risk is low, one can’t be ruled out. Storms are most likely in Baltimore and DC between 4 and 7 pm and in Philly to New York between 6 and 9 pm. Storms will generally be moving eastward at 30-40 mph. Frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes are expected with these storms. The NWS severe storms forecast center will likely issue a severe thunderstorm watch for the area later this afternoon.

Severe thunderstorms likely this afternoon with damaging winds and hail possible.

Today, thunderstorms develop in central PA and northern MD and look to move into the area by midafternoon. Damaging winds and hail are a serious threat with these storms. High 93. Wind Southwest at 10-20 mph gusting 30-50 mph.  Tonight, storms clear out to give partly clear skies.  Low 75.  Wind from the Northwest at 5-10 mph.  Tomorrow, comfortable summer day with mostly sunny skies. High 86.  Wind Northwest at 8-12 mph.

BE on the look out for rough weather today and be safe

Community Meeting to Discuss Decks this Saturday, June 27th at the Pool, 10 am

There has been some discussion in the community about our decks, since our meeting in May.  The board has scheduled a meeting this Saturday at 10 am at the pool, to further discuss the decks with the community.  Please come to the meeting to share thoughts with the community and the board.  We hope to see you there. 

Community reminders

As we move into summer and the community becomes more densely populated, please be considerate of your neighbors.  Remember…

Please park in the correct direction, please do not block drive ways, please provide clearance when parking by trash cans. 

Please drive slowly and carefully through the community

Pool Conditions

The pool opened last weekend, we open it a week early to make sure any issues are addressed before Memorial Day.   This past weekend the water was warm but the pool was bit cloudy, the cloudiness was caused by the product applied during the resurfacing.  The water was perfectly safe but less than visually pleasing.  Our new pool service was called and they working on remedying the situation.  We have been assured the pool will be clear and in tip top shape for the Memorial Day weekend.  We will keep an eye on the pool and our service company will be contacted immediately if the pool is suboptimal.  Please let us know what you think of the surface and the overall condition of the pool.  Thanks as always for your cooperation.

Community Update

Since the summer season is upon us with pool opening this Saturday we wanted to update you on items impacting the community

Community Meeting

Saturday May 23^rd at 10:30 am is our community meeting at the Stafford Town Hall we will discuss the items mentioned in today’s blog post.

Irrigation/Sprinklers

We are having trouble with our irrigation system this spring, there needs to be a total overhaul of the system including pumps.  It wil be at least another week before the work is completed.  The lack of irrigation combined with the dry spring has combined to make the grass less than optimal.  We hope to remedy this situation and get our grass looking green.

Mulch

The colder than normal spring (until a week ago) delayed normal lawn maintenance, we hope to have our landscaper complete the mulch installation by the Memorial Day weekend, if not definitely the week after.

Pool

The pool was resurfaced in the spring.  We used an enhanced product called diamond brite, this will make the pool safer, water tight, more attractive and the surface should last longer.  Your feedback on the surface the look, feel etc. would be appreciated

Decks

The deck issue has been ongoing for quite a while, we thought we had found a solution for the issue but it didn’t workout , the board is continuing to work on this issue.  This is a very large, very expensive undertaking that wasn’t accounted for in our in our replacement funds.  We need to be very smart with our spend on this effort.  We are also seeking a solution that solves this issue long term.  Please bear with us as we work it out.  If you have any safety or structural issue with your deck please let us know.     

Pool passes

Pool passes are available, up to two per unit are available for $10 each.  Please make a check out Island Gate and send it to AA along with a request for a pass.  Once that is received we will activate a pass and forward it on to you. 

Pool rules

The pool rules for 2015 have been posted on the blog, please follow them and more importantly. Please treat the community and the pool as you would your own.  Please be courteous and deferential to our neighbors.

Driving and Parking in the community

Driving and Parking in the community is always our biggest complaint in the summer.  As we all know the community fills up in the summer, so please drive slowly in the community.  Please be considerate of your neighbors, please stay out of others driveways, please park in the correct  direction even if that means turning the car around.  Please use the overflow parking lots, please do not park on the grass or Belgian block curbs.    

Dryer vent cleaning

The dryer vent cleaning requirement is due this summer, please stay tuned for instructions and guidance on that.

Mechanical devices

Please check all mechanical devices (water heater, air conditioning, filters etc.) for proper performance and repair and or replace if necessary.  Please check your devices and change your smoke alarm batteries, please check and change if necessary your CO detectors also. 

  

As always we hope you have a happy and enjoyable summer, please contact a board member or AA with any questions or concerns.  We appreciate your cooperation. 

COmmunity meeting May 23rd

The Island Gate community meeting is scheduled for May 23^rd at 10:30 am.  It will be held at the Stafford Town Hall on Bay avenue.  It is by the police station.  There has been some confusion about the location in the past, if you have any questions about the location of the meeting just reply to a board member and we would be glad to help you.  

We urge everyone to attend we want to update people on a number of important issues in our community. 

Thanks as always for your concern

Pool Scheduled to Open May 16

As always the pool is opening the weekend before Memorial weekend.  We open the pool a week early to make sure everything is working, and approved and inspected a week early so we reduce the chance for issues the following week.  THE pool has been resurfaced and so far the pool seems to be shaping up and we are looking forward to another successful summer season.  Please check the blog for pool schedule and rules and as always if you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us.

The bad news is the extended forecast for next week has high temps in the 60’s with a chance of showers. Remember the pool is heated so hearty souls feel free to take a dip.

Community Meeting Saturday May 23rd

There is an Island Gate community meeting scheduled for Saturday May 23th  at 10:30.  It will held in the Stafford Town hall, by the police station (if you went to the meeting last year and no one was there please do not go there again) this meeting will update the community on a number of important issues that directly concern the community.  We urge everyone to attend.  We hope you make the effort to attend the meeting and participate in the community.

Pool work at Island Gate

Over the last week or so our new pool vendor (Candlewood) has been resurfacing our pool.  The pool will be resurfaced with a product called Diamond Brite which is a premium product to a typical pool surface.  This surface enables the pool to be resurfaced less frequently (greater than 10 years), has a rich finish and is idea for existing underground pools. 

As far as color goes we picked a color called super blue.  The board is excited about the resurfacing and we expect it to be a solid reliable finish for many years to come. 

Even with the work we expect the pool to be opened on May 16^th as planned. 

If you have any questions comments or thoughts please as always let us know.

A quick review of the blog

We started the blog 4 years ago this week, in that time we have published 254 posts, some were useful, some playful and some were very important.  We average about 65 posts a year, or one a week, more in the summer, less when it’s cold.  We have had 11,148 views on the blog or 44 views per post.  That is slightly more than half the community on average pretty good penetration for a blog post.  Thanks for your concern and involvement in the community and please let your neighbors know about the blog.  In addition, does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the blog more useful or helpful?  Please let us know. 

Thanks for your continued involvement and we look forward to hearing from you. 

 

  

Save the date Community Meeting Saturday May 23rd

There is an Island Gate community scheduled for Saturday May 23^th  time TBD (probably 10:30).  It will held in the Stafford Town hall, by the police station (if you went to the meeting last year and no one was there please do not go there again) this meeting will update the community on a number of important issues that directly concern the community.  We urge everyone to attend.  We hope you make the effort to attend the meetings and participate in the community.

Some winter reminders

With the peak of cold weather upon us we wanted to remind our neighbors of some important items to check on and keep maintained in our homes

First our homes temperatures should be set to at least 50 degrees when not at home, having temps below this poses a risk to our neighbors, in addition the batteries in our thermostats should be replaced regularly

Please check the batteries and condition of your smoke alarms and CO detectors, properly working devices are very important to peoples safety

In addition, since our places are 10+ years old many devices in the home are nearing the end of their useful lives

Many experts say Smoke and CO devices should be replaced after 10 years

Sump pumps do not have indefinite life spans

Neither do hot water heaters

It would be prudent to have these devices checked for the safety, reliability and comfort of your home.

If you have any questions or comments please let us know.

Stay warm and safe 

Yet another reminder about Rules of the Road at Island Gate

Even in the dead of winter, we are still getting complaints about driving and parking in the community.
Please follow these simple rules to keep everyone safe.
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 park in the correct direction, it’s the law

Please do not block the street when you park

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. 
Please pick up after your dog
 
Please keep safety a priority and don’t jeopardizes the safety of your loved ones and your neighbors.  If you have any issues the board will be glad to discuss them.
