22 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2017
Transition is the process of changing from one condition or
situation to another, like going from adolescence to adulthood. It gets
us from here to there, and occurs in a continuous flow over a period
of time.
Our community has been in transition since the very first house
was sold, and the transition is expected to be finalized when the last
house is sold, which could be by the end of 2019.
Right now, the developer, K. Hovnanian, provides a certain level
of management, maintenance and financial support, but when
the transition is complete we'll be on our own. For this reason we
must do what we can to avoid unanticipated surprises, and prepare
ourselves to take on all the assets and liabilities, and the complete
governance of our great community.
Enter the Transition Plan – a strategy to safely get us from where
we are today to where we will be in a few short years. The first step
in this plan is discovery, that is, finding out what we must know, then
organizing and prioritizing the data. To this end, we have prepared a
four page check list of issues to review. We are now seeking responses
from the developer K. Hovnanian, the management company
FirstService and various committees of our community. We hope to
have feedback completed and a tentative plan in place by mid year.
If you have questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to
contact us. And you're always welcome to visit our committee
meetings, which are held the third Thursday of the month at 9 am in
the RCN Conference Room. ~ Willis Fagan
