FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2017 5 By Jeri Mupo, General Manager MANAGER'S REPORT SURVEY SAYS… At the April 11 Rules and Regulations Committee meeting, an overwhelming number of guests attended. Their purpose was to provide their opinion on recommendations from a resident regarding the community guest policy. The committee decided that it was important to hear the opinions of all homeowners within the community. A survey was sent out and the results were reviewed at the May meeting. The survey results are as follows: Question 1: Are you in favor of allowing adult guests to access community facilities without their homeowner sponsor present? 428 total responses: 26.87 percent Yes, 73.13 percent No Question 2: Are you in favor of allowing adult guests use of the fitness facilities? 424 total responses: 25.71 percent Yes, 74.29 percent No Question 3: Are you in favor of extending the pool hours for children at the Lodge an additional hour to 5 pm? 427 total responses: 34.19 percent Yes, 65.81 percent No Based on these survey results, it was the decision of the committee that the recommended guest policy changes would not be sent to the Board for approval. NAME THAT FACILITY There has been a lot of debate on whether the association should change the name of the third recreation facility from The Courts to something else. The Board had consulted with K. Hovnanian regarding this matter and initially it was determined that if the association wanted to pay for the monument lettering then the name could be changed. As you may remember a survey was sent out asking for homeowner input. Unbeknownst to the homeowner Board members, K. Hovnanian's corporate office stated that the name would remain "The Courts" while they still own the facility. Therefore, the final word on this matter is that the third recreation facility will be called "The Courts." KEEP IT COOL! A few years ago the EPA banned 410 Freon, coolant for air conditioners. Air conditioning contractors were unable to purchase this product to service the air conditioners installed in Phase A and some of Phase B homes. Some of the air conditioning contractors were recommending compressor and coil replacements. Other contractors would repair the units by replacing the compressor oil and using the new C22 Freon. There is a new Freon product that can be used with the older air conditioning units; however, some of the units over 10 years old may not be able to use this product. It is recommended that if you are experiencing issues with your air conditioning unit, please consult with your preferred vendor for their recommendations. ON THE ROAD AGAIN As the community grows, so with it comes additional recreational vehicle use. This has been noted by the increased use of the Lodge parking lot for parking these vehicles. We would like to remind all homeowners of the following community guidelines: Community Guidelines, Parking, Section 8 and 9: 8. Recreational Vehicles (defined as any class A, B, or C motor home, travel trailer, fifth wheel, pick up with camper or tent trailer) are allowed to park on Association streets, directly in front of the members property (area designated by the Board), for 24 hours, for the purpose of loading and unloading of the RV, with notification to the staff when the RV is to be brought into the community. In the event of an emergency (defined as medical reasons, mechanical failure, acts of nature or as deemed by management to be within reason), an additional eight hours may be requested from the Association Management. The following stipulations would be required: a. The RV should be coned off at all times b. All extension cords and/or hoses should be secured to the sidewalk (i.e. taped or plastic strip) to avoid a tripping hazard. In addition, these items may not be left across the sidewalk after dusk. c. A maximum of four trips into the community for a total of 96 hours would be allowed in a calendar month. d. RV extensions or awnings would not be allowed to remain open or to impede on the sidewalk area. 9. Guests may park their recreational vehicles in the designated area in the Lodge parking lot with prior approval from the Association Management. Guests are not to stay in the RV while in the community. The above rules are being strictly enforced. Please do not ask staff to grant an extension or any waiver to these rules.
