INFRASTRUCTURE AND ASSESSMENT

     The group is comprised of volunteer homeowners from Four Seasons with substantial experience in development, construction, and engineering.
     It is our intention to collect communitywide information regarding the various amenities and common public improvements, listed or not identified in the reserve study compiled by Giles Flythe Engineers. This will include, but not limited to, tennis courts, boat launch, dog park, Lake House, pools, landscaping, roadways, and stormwater conveyance systems.

Note: It is a common practice by HOA’s to update reserve studies every three to five years. The controlling factors for more frequent reviews would be years of dramatic increases in projected inflation, poor useful life performance of items listed in the study, inadequate or non-existing maintenance procedures and a significant increase in projected size of original development. We believe all these factors are present in our situation and impact the amount of money that should be held in the Reserve Fund. In this light, we will conduct an overall assessment of the current reserve study then recommend where the Fund should be adjusted.

From the Infrastructure and Assessment Group

     As part of the Infrastructure and Assessment Group’s research, I would like to ask you, our friends, and neighbors, to monitor and report any flooding or standing water that you witness over the next year. This would include your residential property as well as the streets and common areas throughout our community. Photographs and/or videos are most helpful along with an address or specific location, date, and time of day, as well as a brief description for each incident. Indicating how long these conditions lasted would be a great help as well in determining a recommended course of action.
     I have received photos and videos from several residents illustrating flooding conditions and standing water. One particularly troublesome area noted has been the 10-foot space separating our homes which often fills with water because of poor soil drainage and improper pitch. I personally have witnessed this and other areas where these conditions exist leading to overall concern.
     To remind everyone, we are collecting this information to encourage the developer to make the necessary modifications or repairs to the community prior to the transition from developer-controlled HOA to property owner’s control. This effort is intended to minimize any costs to homeowners for defects, missing or incomplete work before we assume the responsibility to maintain our community.  From time to time, we will add to this list to include other items of concern. Stay tuned for updates and reports of our findings in the coming weeks.
