  LAKE RESTORATION INFORMATION
This will be a special one time Assessment!! WORK BEGINS THIRD WEEK OF APRIL!!!

At the Ocean Walk Home Owners meeting in January 2009 the board discussed improving the stability of the edges of our lake. The board invited a local engineering firm to field any technical questions that might arise. The edges have shown considerable deterioration due to storm run off and erosion. The edges are not safe and the amount of land lost due to this erosion near W building has led us to seek professional opinions on our best course of action.

The members who attended the annual meeting asked that this process be researched and brought before the owners again to review prior to any decisions or plan of action was decided upon.

The members and board agreed that this issue needed to be addressed and voted to hire an engineer to determine the best course of action. We hired the engineering firm that gave the presentation at the annual meeting to survey this area and give us the best plan overall.

Our board also called in field experts who understand the problems with this type of erosion to give us their views on how to proceed. We called several landscape architects and pond contractors to get opinions as well. During this process we got bids from several companies who were interested in and qualified to help us stabilize the lake edge.

The board has decided to present the owners with the bid from United Land Management, Inc.   This company provided the board with many different scenarios and options to improve the lake edge. The board narrowed these options down to improving the lake edge by installing a bulkhead from the corner of W building to connect with the existing bulkhead near the tennis courts and clubhouse. The total bid to do this work is $79,000. To do a bulkhead around the entire lake it would cost approximately $95,000. We will post a copy of the detailed bid on our website for you to view. The lake edge nearest W building will be built out about 12 feet from the existing edge to stabilize the ground closest to the building.

This work, if approved, will begin in the spring of 2010. The cost of this work will be paid for with a one time special assessment.

If you have any questions or are onsite, there are plans in the office for you to view.

BIKE BARN INFORMATION

The board directed the management company to clean out all old bicycles from the bike barn at the beginning of the year. The bikes that were removed were taken to the back shop area to be stored until the end of July. On August 1st, these bikes will be given to charity.

At the last board meeting the board decided that owners who have the privledge to use this bike barn should pay a fee of $50.00 per year per bike. On September 1 all bikes that have not paid this fee and registered will be removed from the bike barn.

These fees will be set aside to use at a later date to expand our ability to house more bicycles on property.

All bicycles onsite in bike racks or bike barn must have Ocean Walk identification stickers. This will allow your managment team to contact owners who have left bicycles that are not in working condition chained to the bike racks. Currently there is no way to identify who owns these bicycles.
