22 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2019
The replacement of the flooring in the fitness room
(gym) in the Spa building began in late January. The
contractor was waiting for the materials to arrive.
Management has requested bids from vendors for
the installation of automatic door openers to ease
handicapped access to the restrooms at The Summit and
The Courts.
As Four Seasons approaches build out later in 2019, a
number of transition projects will need to be addressed,
such as cameras, gate arms, and fob readers for the
pedestrian access at the Breckenridge gate.
Louvenia Ortega recently completed a two-year term
on the Facilities Committee. She did an excellent job
as secretary for the Committee, our minutes will not be
the same without her. She actively pursued improving
accessibility in the community for our disabled residents.
We thank Louvenia for donating her time and expertise
in making our community a better place.
The Facilities Committee meets in the RCN Conference
Room on the second Wednesday of the month at 10 am.
We always welcome residents to join us and share their
ideas or concerns.
We currently have several positions open on the
Facilities Committee for anyone interested in serving our
community. ~ Bruce Lewis, b.lewis2794@sbcglobal.net
Facilities Committee Landscape Committee
As a Four Seasons resident since 2006, I've watched our beautiful
HOA landscape mature, from early planting to seeing how plants
respond naturally to age, extremes in weather and plant disease. Our
Friday walks are with one of our three landscape contractors in their
designated phase areas. We evaluate the need to replace distressed
plants. Often distressed plants will respond to feeding, proper
trimming and other possible remedies. In those instances, we will be
monitoring them as we let TLC and time restore good plant health.
We only take out and replace dead plants. Replacements are either
the same plant or a proven better plant, based on the history of plants
in those places.
Spring is also a factor in plant restoration. During winter months,
many plants become dormant, and often appear unhealthy or dead.
The frost-free growing season starts March 19. Spring
and summer officially has 265 days of growing
season ending Nov 29.
To our Four Seasons residents, be careful
when trimming dormant plants. Limbs
and branches from dormant plants may
look dead, but that may not be the case.
Often some dormant plants may take
longer to come to life. Enjoy the warmer
days when our HOA landscape plantings are
growing again! ~ Bev Jack, bjack4@dc.rr.com
