Gutters will also be repaired. Bills will be sent out by Star Management.

The Board would also like to remind members that each unit is responsible for insuring their own unit from the outside and inside. Each unit is also responsible for sending “Star Management” proof of insurance. Some suggestions were made that entire buildings might get a better rate to pool if they use the same insurance company. The Board will also be researching the possibility of having an insurance company cover all outside units.

Living in Florida we encounter many insect problems. Just a bit of advice from us who live here, ants and bugs seem to be everywhere. There is less of a problem if you keep everything in sealed containers. If you still encounter ants, good products we have found to work are:  Home Defense, or Hot Shot Premium Pest control concentrate. Please read the instructions on where you can use these products in your home safely.

If there continues to be a problem you can call Ace Pest at (941) 888-5238 for a free interior service.

Dear Landings Neighbors,

 

Happy New Year !

  First we would like to spend a moment remembering our Landings friends who have passed away this year. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families.

 

Diane Castelli  Unit #103

Bob Wood Unit #54

Bob Sieveke Unit  #32

Jim Baker Unit #114

and Len Revoir #69

 

  Len Revoir was our board president. He had been been in his 5th year as president until his sudden passing on December 17nth. Len was a kind and passionate leader. He held our community in high esteem and listened to everyone's concerns. Our deepest sympathies go out to Susan. He will be greatly missed.

 This past year we welcomed our new social chairperson, Amber Rovegno. If you have any questions, she would like you to contact her at: (941)391-2399 or you can email her at realtoramber@comcast.net

     Thank you all who contributed toy for Toys 4 Tots. You helped make Christmas a happy one for many childen.

     We had a wind storm on Dec. 17. There were at least (8) 3rd floor windows blown out. Both Horton and older home were affected. If need to replace your latches on the windows, we do have information on that, so please contact us.

     The land owned by The Landings to the north of Unit #1, has had a path cleared to reach it by golf cart or walking.  This would be a great place to observe the stars. We would like to start an astronomy club. if interested please Contact Us through the website. 

Dog waste continues to be and issue, Please be a good neighbor and pick up.  We all want to enjoy our beautiful place here.

     The fence and construction gate was finally fixed, the coconut palms were sprayed with a product that kills white fly but does not affect the coconuts. 

     We would like to thank our in house landscaping team for planting the 144 ixora plants and cutting the numerous palm fronds broken by the wind.

     Our new flagpole was installed in front of the clubhouse.

     If you visit the area south of The Landings between unit 120 and 121, Please do not park your cars there. It is not too far to bring your car to your home and walk back. Also, large holes were discovered dug on the path. Many people use this path for walking. It is very dangerous to have open holes on the path. So please keep this area maintained.

     Lastly, 

We would like to say hello to our newest neighbors:

Ryan and Deanna Dunlap:    Unit #72

The pool is open from Dawn to Dusk. As of today, that is from 6:39am to 8:11pm. Even though we are a private pool, we are considered a public pool, thus we must follow Florida guidelines in maintaining our pool. As much as it would be fun to have night time swimming, we have to keep in mind, that the pool would be lit up like a football field, insurance and liability would increase greatly, the noise level for surrounding neighbors would be intolerable, and the mosquitos would eat you alive! We also ask that when you are at the pool there may be no containers, (sealed or not) within 4ft. of the pool deck. This is a Florida rule. Please respect it.

Also, please keep in mind that we all want to enjoy the pool. So use your ear pods when listening to music, do not conduct business calls when others are close to hearing you, no football playing if others are in the pool, no eating or glass containers around the pool deck and please place back the pool furniture if you used it. 

The gym bike was replaced. The Board is looking into fixing and/or replacing pool furniture.

The roof entrance at the clubhouse is to be repaired.

A non slippery coating was applied at the north side of the pool by the bathrooms.

The fountain motor was damaged because of a power surge, a new motor should be arriving soon.

Please remember to clean out your drier vents. Ace can do this, or you can find kits at Lowes or Home Depot to do it yourselves.

The artificial turf that was installed in front of Unit 81 was the wrong one!

The Board is looking to purchase gravel for the 2nd kayak launch between Units 120-121

OWNERS

It has become a serious problem that owners are taking it upon themselves to cut trees and vegetation behind their buildings! Please read your documents! You technically own 6" around your building and not allowed to trim, or cut anything down. 

Meeting was adjourned at 9:47am.

 

This is the unofficial account of the board meeting held March 25, 2021

 

Deb Deasy spoke first.  She had questions regarding votes that were not valid, replacement of weather vanes, garage lights, and corrections to the past board minutes. 

The minutes to the last board minutes were approved and Len Revoir, our president, thanked Dick Ayres for his dedication for serving on the Board these past 4 years.

Bob Barker will be replacing Dick on the Board.

Although speeding has slowed down in our neighborhood, there are still a few who go past the speed limit. If this not check itself, there may be speed bumps added to the roads.

Committee reports:

In our original documents, The Landings has a permit to put in a kayak launch between Units 120 and 121. This permit has not expired and the grasses were mowed by the Landscaping Crew for a 2nd access to Coral Creek. They are hoping to add gravel down this path much like the golf path between Units 12 +13. 

The multistage irrigation pump has  been installed.

Irrigation and 120  bushes will be installed next along the fence line.

Artificial turf will be placed in front of Unit 81 for owners to decide if that is what they would want in the front of their homes in the future.

Fountain replacement should be in 2 weeks.

Dear Members,

We have received a request from our mail carrier. If you are leaving for the season or having your mail forwarded, that you leave a note inside your box indicating when you are leaving and when you will return. This will alleviate mail accumulating inside your box.  This also applies to homeowners who are selling or just moving in to add their names inside the mailbox.
