Volunteers Wanted to Light Up The Landings! Community Xmas Light Decorating Committee

Dates to Be Announced Email [email protected]

Dear Residents,

We are excited to announce that a contract has been accepted for re-surfacing our streets. The money for this project will come from

our road reserve fund and will not cost our residents anything extra.

The work will take place after the rainy season and will be announced far in advance.

The sealing process will take several days and the community will be

divided into sections. When your section is scheduled, you will be required to move your car to common area parking, a friend’s

driveway or other unaffected areas on Harbour Drive..

Landscapers, contractors, visitors and delivery companies will to be informed and trash collection will be suspended.

You will be unable to drive on any affected street during the

re-sealing process or it could jeopardize the quality of the installation.

More information to follow well in advance of the work.

Tom Carter, president

Unfinished Business

Church Avenue Reconstruction Project: (Warren to Rangeline): Bill gave a br ief sum-mary about this project being done by the city of Longwood. He mentioned this project will involve the following:

Brick wall on entryway will be pushed about 4 feet back.

Construction of new drainage facilities.

Sidewalks removed and place elsewhere.

Widen Road which would eliminate some frontage of the community.

Bike lanes, and other associated elements.

Paul wondered if the city was taking imminent domain by removing property from The Landings. Tom mentioned that if this is the case, The Landings should be compensated.

Road Resealing: Tom mentioned The Landings’ roads will be resealed in the entire com-munity. He said the seal coating will be squeegeed and not sprayed on both layers. He also added he will be requesting an estimate to reseal the walkways in the common areas around West Lake.

ter continues to get in. Tom mentioned we have a few estimates already. Tom suggested

that we call the vendors back and obtain re-assessed estimates.

Lot leasing guidelines Committee: Paul mentioned we need to gather volunteers to help us work on this item. He added “we need to put some meat on it.” Tom suggested Paul to be the liaison between the Board and the Committee. A homeowner/landlord in the audience volunteered.

dues.

The Memory Swing…

Many of our us are familiar with the swing on the

lake and it has become a stopping place for many of

our children and their families.

There is a special story behind the swing which we

thought you would like know.

The swing was installed by Pam and Dick Skaggs for

their granddaughter, Maddy, a loveable yet special

child with a fragile and challenging life.

Sadly Maddy recently passed away peacefully in her sleep.

The Skagg family would like us to know that the

swing is left In her memory for all to enjoy :
