Many dedicated owners in our building take the initiative to keep our community looking its best. They actively clean up around the premises, picking up trash and ensuring it’s disposed of properly. Their efforts create a more welcoming environment for everyone!
At one point, we couldn't see the outline of the pool. While some sand was removed using equipment, a significant amount had to be taken out by hand. Today, November 30th, we have five hardworking people shoveling sand from the pool into wheelbarrows.
Our property accumulated several feet of sand due to the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The board hired workers to clear the sand, which was then pushed to areas designated for removal by the city. The city completed this removal on November 22nd. Any remaining sand will be taken care of by our contracted workers.
During the storm, our electrical transformer was damaged and began leaking fluid that I am not familiar with; however, I am confident that Florida Power and Light can identify it. The unit was repaired on November 15th. We can all feel more at ease knowing that it has been resolved. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Board Members and Owners! Your commitment to rescuing our pavers truly shines, and we appreciate your hard work. Your efforts make a significant difference! Today, two earth movers are in the process of clearing the sand and debris from our parking lots in front of our building and our spaces in front of Casa Grande. The required work will take a couple of days, but we expect the parking spaces to be available soon.
Donnie and Grayson have experienced the loss of all their furniture and personal belongings. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) insurance stipulates that they must document the damaged items and keep damaged items until a FEMA adjuster has an opportunity to observe the damaged items. Consequently, this is the reason for the presence of debris under the carports. Many of us have been fortunate enough to have our units remain unharmed. Let’s embrace compassion and understanding during this time. We understand how important it is to keep things moving smoothly, and we genuinely care about doing so as efficiently as possible.
POWER
We have power in the building, but there is a mechanical issue with our transformer. Florida Power and Light has us on the list and will replace the transformer next. It will take 1-3 hours to remove the damaged transformer and replace it with a new one. I am sorry to say we DO NOT know when they will start. Elevators
During the storm, both elevators were exposed to water and sand, causing them to work intermittently. This issue may persist until a more thorough assessment and servicing is completed. As a precaution, please remember to take your cell phone with you when using the elevator. Construction Site We have successfully weathered the storm, although, unfortunately, we have encountered significant damage on the first floor. Our property is currently undergoing debris removal, with some pavers washed away in certain areas and other debris scattered around the building. Be sure to remember this: We have sand everywhere. Air Conditioning As of October 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. EST, all habitable units were equipped with functioning air conditioning, with the exception of 2 condo units. If you are the owner of one of those units, you have already been notified. Rest assured, there are no guarantees that the air conditioning will last forever, but we received some encouraging news as of yesterday. Parking Please be aware that the parking lot is currently partially covered with sand, leaving very limited space for cars. The majority of the parking spaces are currently being used by workers and board members who are collaborating with contractors. We have made arrangements to have the parking lot cleared, but this process will take some time. |
