On Jun 2, 2020 the Fire Marshall requested that changes be made to the fire extinguisher cabinet signs so that the words “Fire Extinguisher” would be visible from both sides of the signs and so that they were no longer covered by the eavestrough downspouts.

The Fire Marshal did an inspection of the property on Jun 2, 2020 and provided the condominium Board with a report. In this report, she required that, in between the buildings, shrubs be kept 3 feet away from the walls and that they cannot be more than 4 feet tall (with a couple noted exceptions). She also asked that all potted plants be removed. The Board had the landscaper to do a special trimming on Jun 12, 2020 to ensure all shrubs on the property were in compliance.

The report also required that the fire hydrant be painted red, tested and tagged as having been inspected (which must be done annually).

No fines were levied although a re-inspection to confirm compliance is required in the near future.

On July 24, the city of Punta Gorda reported that the reverse osmosis water plant is now online and sending blended water to our homes.

The Board expects total dissolved solids will be dramatically lowered and that it will be the end of hard water in our community 🙂

Early in the year, children were seen inside the culverts retrieving lost items. The Board had “gates” as shown in the photo below installed to ensure people would no longer be capable of entering these openings.

There is a rain sensor behind the pool cabana which had been non operational for quite sometime. It was replaced by the Board in April.

This sensor stops the irrigation system from operating when there is an adequate amount of rain fall on any given day. Please keep this in mind as it might mislead an occupant to think the irrigation system is non-functional.

This sensor saves irrigation water which is a substantial expense. We have spent $10,489.85 in the last 6 months watering the landscaping and keeping the pool/spa full.

Power washing of the walkways has begun. This cleaning will remove mold and refresh the sidewalks clean look. The following before and after photo highlights the difference a cleaning can make.
