What’s all the construction I see around Island Lakes?
We are currently engaged in a special assessment to replace the original wood siding on all of the buildings in our complex with fiber-cement siding boards. This work is forward looking with the intent of maintaining the quality, durability, and value of our buildings.. The new siding is more durable than wood: retards termites, water and dry rot damage, is noncombustible, and warranted to last 50 years.
Our complex has 19 residential buildings and a clubhouse. We began the work in 2006, and are completing 2-3 buildings per year. As of this year we will have completed 13 buildings with 7 buildings, including the clubhouse, to still be completed. We approximate the work will take another 4 years to complete.
There seems to be several different color schemes throughout the complex. Is there a long range plan?
Since construction, all 19 units have been painted one of several shades of grey. All doors were the same color of blue. In spring of 2009 the Board of Directors voted to change the color scheme over time. Starting last year newly sided buildings will be painted in one of three colors which could be best described as shades of brown. Once the siding project is completed in three or four more years attention will turn toward painting the previously sided units. This summer the trash bins will be painted in a color that complements the new color scheme. As for doors, owners are now permitted to paint their exterior doors with one of six approved colors.
When is the office open?
The office which is located in the Clubhouse is staffed by a part time property manager on Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 12:00 noon. Messages may be left at (541) 465-1419.
