This article is an update to the one printed in the September issue of The Heron Herald regarding construction of a Dog Park. All newspaper articles must be submitted to the editor one month prior to issuance. Subsequent to the article submission, the ad hoc committee formed to research construction of a Dog Park and presented their findings and associated costs to the Board of Directors at their meeting on August 12. The committee reported that an engineering study is required due to the environmental sensitivity of the land. The cost estimate for the study is $60,000 to $70,000, with total construction estimated at approximately $167,000. The Board expressed concerns about the high costs and the potential for rushing the decision. As a result, the Board motioned and approved postponing the Dog Park vote at this Annual Meeting until further evaluation is completed. Enclosed you will find a community survey to gauge interest in various amenities before moving forward. Also included is a survey on future sidewalk construction in various areas of the community. Please return these surveys along with your voting materials or drop them by the office.
Please remember that it is extremely important for all property owners to read the contents of the packet and return the proxy as per the instructions if you are not going to attend the meeting in person. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the office or a Board of Director.
