Concrete Work Info – Pool Parking Lot Status

All – for those impacted by the concrete work during this week:

The Pool Parking Lot is hereby opened for overflow parking if you wish to utilize it. We currently plan to have the pool parking lot open until 5:00PM on Friday, October 9, 2020. The concrete work should be completed before then – if so the pool parking lot will be closed for parking earlier than Friday.

All vehicles parking there are subject to all the permit parking rules for our community. If you are planning to be away from the community for the rest of the week please relocate your vehicle to non-restricted curb parking or non-restricted visitor parking spaces in the community, not the pool parking lot.

Several more assigned parking spaces were added to the list today. The applicable residences (one residence on Carriagepark Road, three residences on Treasure Court) received notices at the residence along with signs placed on the applicable parking spaces.

Reminder – towing begins tomorrow at 7AM and runs through 6PM – please relocate your vehicles this evening or we will have to relocate them tomorrow at your expense.

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Regards,

Mark

Two Items For You

Good evening y’all! Two quick items for you today. I’ll follow-up with a more traditional President message later.

1. POOL. Our abbreviated season has flown by but a reminder to all that Monday (Labor Day) is our last day for the 2020 season. My thanks to all those who came to enjoy our pool – you followed our rules and by all accounts I’ve heard have enjoyed the time. If you haven’t come out, see previous messages for the link to the reservation system and please take advantage of the fantastic weather this weekend to come by. Monday early evening we will be moving the furniture back into the pool house if anyone wants to volunteer a couple of hours to help us that would be appreciated. Contact me for additional information….

2. CONCRETE WORK. Is scheduled to begin on September 23rd. Those homes and parking spaces impacted will get notices in your door on specific dates and times for the work. The seal coat has been delayed until 2021 due to the lateness of the season.

All for now. Whatever your weekend plans are, please stay safe and well.

Sincerely,

Mark
