With the arrival of fall and the coming of winter, the Incline Pines Homeowners Association is working hard on several community projects before we’re shut down for the winter.
The old signs that have greeted Incline Pines visitors for decades have been replaced with a single stack of reflective aluminum signs.
The HOA is also gradually replacing the wooden posts at the community entrance with 42″ heavy steel bollards anchored in concrete columns. The worst of the existing posts (which can’t even stand on their own) will be replaced first with the rest coming as time and money allows.
The “safety yellow” posts will be repainted to match the existing color scheme, as was done with the four new steel bollards at Unit 30.
The HOA has also added a second security camera mounted above the entry signs to keep track of vehicles and people entering the community.
Meantime, the community’s first camera– mounted near the dumpsters last year– continues to document unauthorized users.
Finally, the HOA is wrapping up a project to stabilize the precarious parking pad at Unit 22. The failing retaining wall and wooden posts have been replaced by buried steel beams and steel bollards mounted on concrete footings. Many thanks to Mark Burton, Unit 17, for supervising the repair.
While the HOA tackles the nagging deferred-maintenance issues, the Board continues to lean on painting and roofing contractors who work on their own schedules. At the very least, the HOA is insisting on several roof patches to get our owners through the winter season.
