With the cold weather upon us many residents will start to use their
fireplaces. We suggest before starting to use your fireplace that you have the chimney cleaned and inspected. While you are free to use whatever contractor you wish, one local chimney cleaning company is the Lowcountry Chimney Sweeps at 843-686-9007. Also, please make sure when using your fireplace that you only use seasoned hard wood, such as Oak. Soft wood such as pine is not recommended because this can leave combustible tar and creosote in the chimney that can catch on fire.

Firewood must not be stored next to buildings or patios unless on an approved rack. It must be stored at least two feet from the building and placed on a storage rack adjacent to the A/C condenser unit, so as not to hinder the pedestrian movement in the common areas. If a tarp is used to cover the firewood, it must be brown or black in color, with a limit of one (1) rack of firewood. Other storage sites must be approved by the Board of Directors.

Hurricane Dorian Update #2

Mary Spilman
September 3, 2019

We hope that once Hurricane Dorian begins its long awaited move to the north and closer to Hilton Head it begins to weaken and passes far enough off the coast to not be a serious threat or cause severe damage.  The old motto of “prepare for the worst and hope for the best” certainly applies here.  We do know that we will certainly be affected.  While we still cannot be sure of the actual track the storm will take, we have prepared the best we can and applied the lessons we have learned through Hurricane Matthew.  We have recently cleaned all the road basins, ditches and made other alterations for improved drainage throughout the property.  The pool complex will be completely secured tomorrow, and the fitness center will available in case of emergencies to ride out the storm for any of those who may have chosen to not evacuate.  We ask once again that you make sure everything around your villa is taken inside or properly secured so it will not become a danger in high winds.  We have all the proper contractors on standby to assist the property in the event they are needed once the storm passes.  Updates will be sent out as soon as possible once the storm has passed, and everyone STAY SAFE!

Hurricane Dorian

Mary Spilman
August 30, 2019

As you all know, Hurricane Dorian will impact the Southeast coastline this weekend and through the beginning of next week.  At this point landfall somewhere in Florida is the likely target.  While it is yet to be determined where an exact landfall will take place, along with the future path, we are relatively confident that we will be receiving significant rain and possibly storm force winds.  We are preparing by lowering lagoon water levels and clearing all drainage ditches in anticipation of heavy rainfall.  We urge everyone to keep an eye on the forecast and be prepared.  We ask that you take in or secure any outdoor items such as patio furniture, plants, etc. that can be affected by possible high winds.  Be safe and given the circumstances, have the best Labor Day Holiday possible!

Pet Complaints

Mary Spilman
May 3, 2019

Many of our residents are still complaining about pet owners who are not picking up after their pets in the common areas or dog run area. This has been and continues to be a major problem here at Woodlake. Pet owners who do not clean up after their pets will be issued appropriate fines and may have their common area pet privileges revoked and will be required to take their pets off the property to do their business. Cleaning up after your pet shows that you respect your neighbors and your community. If you see anyone not cleaning up after their pet anywhere on the property, please report this to the on-site office.  Once again, we respectfully ask that all dog owners pick-up after their pet after they have done their business.
