Prohibition on Short Term Rental -
This subject/concern is being investigated.Design and Decorating Committee Report
As former members of the Design and Decorating Committee, 2016-2018, we would like to thank the board members for their cooperation and support with the development of the building’s interior.
- The following was decided by vote for the exterior of the building:
Building exterior - white paint, SW7006 extra white, with gray trim, SW7667 zircon, and tile scents (sample in administrative office).
Building entrance - large porcelain slate like tile (sample in administrative office).
Exterior building signage - same color scheme as building colors
Garage awning - varying stripes in same color scheme.
New exterior lighting.
Barbeque/outdoor kitchen area - in the area to the west of the pool. This is a large space that is being underutilized. We recommend a new barbecue area similar to the Riviera. It would include three barbecue grills on the south side with exhaust fans in order to eliminate odors for the residents The area would also have sitting areas for people to eat and would extend the Rendezvous Room area for social and building events.
Include the secured south side entry door within the confines of the gated entry to the upper deck.
Install ice maker in the vicinity of the Rendezvous Room.
Beach umbrellas/chairs - new chairs and umbrellas in the pool area and on the beach. We recommend the same colors around the pool and beach in slate blue/white.
Portable bamboo walkway to beach - you can visit Regency South and Royal Ambassador to see the walkways that they have.
Replace current barbecue area with a Bocce Ball court.
