Community Areas of Concern

This is a list of areas in the community that need attention:

Standing water

  • [To address] New flooding area on Washington Drive.  New homes past Booker have been experiencing flooding in front yards as the builder never installed swales or a way for water to flow toward Booker road. We should look into this issue.
  • [To address] Still some flooding on Creek after new house was built. Helen Granado’s ouse is most affected.
  • [To address] Ms Cherry’s swale repairs need to be re-checked. Probably need to talk with her on what she thinks needs to be changed
  • [Mostly fixed, some fin tuning needed] Flooding from Paper work (Cedar Rd) into homes along Ellis and into Ellis Road.  Will be addressed in August.
  • [Mostly fixed, one resident would not let us repave driveway apron and fix the swale in from of his house] Flooding on Ellis

Community Property

  • Fishing Creek parking area and park – No current issues. Minor post winter clean-up.
  • Fishing Creek pier – Doing Spring maintenance
  • Harbor Lot and play ground –  No current issues. Minor post winter clean-up.
  • Booker Parking Lot – No current issues. Minor post winter clean-up.
  • Washington Boat ramp – Swale plantings. Minor post winter clean-up.
  • Beach – Enlarging Gazebo project delayed. Need approval for Handicap ramp and deck area. Minor post winter clean-up.

Board Approvals/Motions Needed

To accomplish these, we would need to Board to approve the following:

  • Approve the idea for a Pavilion at Fishing Creek pier.  Estimated cost is about $20,000.
  • Approve purchase of ‘pre-packaged’ circuit course, Estimated cost is $7500 for materials and $2500 for labor
  • If decided to order shirts to sell, approval to do so
  • If decided, approve a new committee for Children’s Events Committee and approve Pam Demske for the position
