Hurricane Season Reminders – May ’23

Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30 each year.

At this time, we want to remind all owners of the following preparations for which you are responsible whenever your apartment is unoccupied and additional information when we are under a Watch/Warning for a Tropical Storm or Hurricane.

 

Before leaving the unit unoccupied: (standard procedures whenever your unit is empty)
    • The unit’s water must be turned off at the shut-off valve.
    • The hot water heater must be turned off by the shut off valve and switch.
    • All refrigerators should be emptied of perishable foods. Owners will be billed for any cleanup due to food spoilage.
    • Air conditioning must be left on to prevent mold and mildew buildup. All windows are to be closed and locked.
    • Remove all outdoor furniture.

Storm/Hurricane Preparation

  • Owners are fully responsible for storm preparation. As the owners, it is your responsibility to ensure that any family, guests, or lessees follow these procedures. Employees are NOT available to assist in these responsibilities as they are responsible to prepare and protect the common elements in the event of a storm.
  • Currently our property has storm windows and doors. Hurricane/storm shutters will not be installed by employees.
  • BE AWARE – In the event of a Mandatory Evacuation the following will occur:
    • All elevators will be turned off
    • The building power will be shut off
    • There will be no “on-site” staff
    • Bridges are locked down; no Emergency Medical Assistance will be available until such time as the storm has passed and the area has been deemed safe to enter.
    • Anyone deciding to remain on the premises will be “on their own”

Owners, please ensure your family, guests, lessees have this information.

Dock & Grounds Update, New Owners – April ’23

Dock, Walkways, Grill Patio

Significant progress has been made over the past two weeks on the Dock and surrounding areas.

All lighting fixtures have been installed, plumbing is almost complete, the backfill was brought in and the sod was laid.  Sprinklers are in use twice a day ensuring that the sod roots become established and hardy.  A new landscaper has been hired to mow the lawns.

A paver walkway from the north side of the pool has been laid as well as a new paver platform for the grill including a stepping-stone walk from the building to the grill patio.  A new lighted flagpole was also installed.  Still to come in the next several weeks will be the repair of the irrigation system as well as installation of a new entry gate and security fencing for the East End to accommodate the width of the new seawall.

Next Steps:
Inspection by the city
Landscaping
Power washing and sealing of the concrete and pavers.

Mid-April Happenings 2023

April 11-15 will be a busy week at Lake Mayan with two significant projects being undertaken:

State mandated Milestone Inspections 

Phase I of the state mandated Milestone Inspections will be carried out with our contracted Engineering Firm – Swaysland.  Inspections will occur Tuesday, April 11through Friday, April 14 from 9:00 AM-1:00PM beginning with the top floors of our complex and proceeding to the first floor.

Please note: the firm has requested all furniture on the walkways be removed for these days.

Seawall work this week:

The crew will be levelling off the slope between the new seawall and the current lawn.  This will involve adding backfill, and then working the site to prepare it to be covered with sod by the end of the week.

Please note: The East entry/exit gate will not be available for use until the sod is established.  We also ask that all residents refrain from walking on this area until the green construction fencing has been removed.
