• For reasons of safety, recent repairs to the existing and unsalvageable boardwalk has escalated the need to consider a long term and cost effective replacement solution.

• A discussion with a local real estate company confirms the need to replace the existing boardwalk as a means to preserve property value.

• The cost to replace the existing boardwalk with poured concrete has shown to be far to costly.

• Given what we've learned with the existing boardwalk, it's difficult to again consider the high cost of replacing the boardwalk with pressure treated lumber and new composite decking that will likely require future replacement due to the harsh Florida sun and the damp environment.

• For considerably less money, permeable pavers offers a very long  lasting, low maintenance, practical, and very aesthetically pleasing solution ! (Concept photos can be seen above)

• Unforeseen repairs can be made very inexpensively.

• The significantly lower cost of the permeable pavers allows us to address the need to refurbish or replace the utility/light poles along the boardwalk given their current poor condition.  Doing this at the same time will allow us to save considerable money given that the pipes and wires will already be exposed.

• Initial quotes suggest that the permeable paver option could be nearly half the price of even the lowest quote we received to replace with pressure treated/composite decking.

• Additional details will be provided shortly as we will all need to make decisions very soon in order to avoid additional costly repairs to the existing boardwalk that is no longer safe or viable.

A survey has been distributed with regards to the color of the floating docks.

Results of the Survey will be published shortly

Our County hearing date is set for August 24th
Upon approval, the county will then have 30 days to issue their resolution.  Upon receipt of the resolution, we will submit the resolution to our selected contractor who will then submit the resolution along with their building permit.
We estimate to have all the approvals in hand by the end of September.

Pool maintenance is managed by both Sunrise Cay I  & Sunrise Cay II.

The  pool was built in 96-97.  The life expectancy  of a pool surface in this environment is 15-20 years.  We have well exceeded  this time frame  and the pool surface is now deteriorating.  Resurfacing is required in order to avoid much more costly repairs.  The cracks and leaky lights are obvious; however, the rust now leaching through the surface from the rebar is indication that action is required.

Both boards have agreed that immediate action is required.

This will be discussed and details will be provided at the next general meeting. 

Great News !

Power washing of the pool area, driveways, and sea wall are underway.
They will start on the roofs and building later in July

We are working with Big Cypress to resolve both a volume and source of water issue.

The lack of sufficient quality water is the root cause of our landscaping, plants, and flower issues.

The first step to address the issue is the installation of lower GPM sprinkler heads so that the sprinklers will 'reach' the intended areas to be watered.  As the volume and quality of water issues are corrected, further adjustments will be made.

Forming a landscaping committee made up of interested residents has been suggested in order to develop a landscape/plant/flower proposal.
Getting this committee started is important so that we can execute on the proposal as soon as the irrigation issues are resolved.
