Parking Lot Repaving

Mary Spilman
March 6, 2019

TO ALL WOODLAKE RESIDENTS:

WOODLAKE WILL BEGIN AN ASPHALT REPAVING PROJECT OF THE ROADWAYS AND PARKING AREAS ON THE PROPERTY BEGINNING MARCH 7 (WEATHER PERMITTING).

THIS PROJECT WILL INVOLVE HAVING TO CLOSE OFF SECTIONS OF THE ROAD AND PARKING AREAS FOR 24 TO 48 HOURS WHILE THE NEW ASPHALT COATING IS APPLIED AND HAS TIME TO PROPERLY DRY.  NEW PARKING STRIPES WILL BE PAINTED AND THE SECTIONS WILL THEN BE RE-OPENED.  WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WILL BE A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE AS YOU WILL HAVE TO PARK AWAY FROM AND WALK TO YOUR VILLA.  MAKE SURE YOUR PARKING STICKERS ARE UP TO DATE SO OTHER RESIDENTS KNOW THAT IT IS A PROPER WOODLAKE RESIDENT PARKING IN THEIR AREAS.  DURING THE PROJECT, CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE DRIVE LANES MAY BECOME ONE-WAY AND PARKING SPOTS IN THE AREAS THAT REMAIN OPEN WILL BE IN HIGH DEMAND AND VERY LIMITED.

NOTICE:  WHEN THIS PROJECT IS IN YOUR AREA OF THE PROPERTY, ALL VEHICLES MUST BE MOVED OUT OF THE DESIGNATED PROJECT AREA.  ANY VEHICLE THAT IS NOT REMOVED FROM THE PROJECT AREA WILL BE TOWED TO A DIFFERENT AREA OF THE PROPERTY AT THE VEHICLE OWNERS COST.  PLEASE HELP US AVOID ANY TOWING BY MOVING YOUR VEHICLES WHEN NOTIFIED. 

 PLEASE DO NOT WALK (OR DRIVE) ON THE NEWLY PAVED AREAS UNIT THEY ARE OPENED BACK UP TO VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS FLUID LEAKS OF ANY KIND, (OIL, GAS, DIESEL, TRANSMISSION FLUID, ETC.) PLEASE GET THEM FIXED BEFORE THE REPAVING PROJECT STARTS. FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE WILL QUICKLY DAMAGE THE NEW ASPHALT. FAILURE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY REPAIRS TO YOUR VEHICLE WILL RESULT IN FINES BEING ISSUED AND PARKING PERMITS REVOKED.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROJECT IS SUBJECT TO WEATHER CONDITIONS AND DELAYS.  EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF INCONVENIENCE AS POSSIBLE.

A NOTIFICATION WILL BE SENT WHEN YOUR AREA IS TO BE PAVED.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND PATIENCE WITH THE CONTRACTORS AND YOUR NEIGHBORS WHILE THIS PROJECT IS PERFORMED.

Attention Dog Owners

Woodlake employees are spending a lot of time cleaning up the dog run and other areas around the property every morning. This is not their responsibility. As a pet owner it is your responsibility to clean up after your pets. Please make sure you ALWAYS remember to CLEAN UP after your pets. If you see anyone not picking up after their pets, please report this to the On-Site Office immediately.

Thank you!!

There has been some interest in having a forum for discussion within the Woodlake community, so to that end your website admin is developing a discussion board that can be found on the Woodlake Villas website. This feature, although “live”, is still under development, and I invite you to join, explore, and give me some feedback, via the discussion board, of course. Click  “Discussion Board” on the menu bar and you will be taken to  step-by-step directions for how to sign up if you’d like to join the discussion. I’ll post updates about upcoming changes to the board, as well as the website itself, as they happen.

Woodlake News, Nov 21, 2018, Rules Update

Mary Spilman
November 21, 2018

Recently, the South Carolina legislature passed new regulations regarding certain provisions of how Property, Homeowner and Condominium Associations are governed.  These new regulations expand the type of documents that are to be officially recorded and considered as of record.  For our condominium association, the previous required documents to be recorded are the Master Deed, By-Laws and any properly passed Amendments.  The new regulations now require that the property Rules and Regulations be recorded as well.  The Woodlake Board of Directors has reviewed and updated the property Rules and Regulations in anticipation of the effective date of the new requirements.  These newly updated Rules and Regulations have been posted to our website and are available at the on-site and management offices.

Recently Woodlake distributed magnets to everyone on the property with phone numbers for emergency and non-emergency use. Since passing the magnets out we continue to receive calls to the emergency contact number that are not emergencies. We ask that you only use the emergency number for emergencies and if you have a non-emergency issue contact the On-site office during business hours and we will be glad to help you.

Many residents are still feeding animals such as birds, turtles, dogs, cats, alligators, etc., outside in the common areas. This is not allowed at any time because it unintentionally attracts/feeds unwanted pests such as squirrels and rats. Any resident caught feeding any type of animal or leaving food/food bowls anywhere in the common area will be issued a ticket which will result in an automatic fine.

In the next few weeks, areas of the roads and parking areas will have repairs performed in order to get ready for the spring repaving project.  From time to time parking may be limited in areas and you may be asked to move your vehicles for work to be completed. We will keep you informed with any updates should the weather change plans for this project. As always, we would like to thank you for your help and cooperation in the above matters.

Trick or Treat 2018

Mary Spilman
October 26, 2018

As you all know, Halloween is this coming Wednesday, October 31st. In previous years we have asked that everyone planning to participate in the activities and pass out treats to leave their front entrance lights  on. Given the number of lights with photocells and  motion detectors, you may end up going to several non-participating units. This year,  not only are we asking you to turn on the lights, but also to post this notice on your door if you are participating in Halloween, with the pumpkin face side showing out.  When going door to door, look for this notice. If you do not see this notice posted,  move on to the next villa. As residents “trick or treat” throughout the property, keep an eye out for children moving from building to building and crossing streets.

Have a good and safe time!!

========================================================================

Como todos saben, Halloween es este miercoles 31 de octubre. En afios anteriores,  hemos pedido que todos los que planean participar en las actividades y repartan  golosinas para que dejen las luces de entrada en la entrada. Dada la cantidad de luces  con fotocelulas y detectores de movimiento, puede terminar yendo a varias unidades no participantes. Este ano, no solo te estamos pidiendo que enciendas las luces, sino que  tambien publiques este aviso en tu puerta si estas participando en Halloween, con el  lado de la calabaza mirando hacia afuera. Cuando vaya de puerta en puerta, busque  este aviso. Si no ve este aviso publicado, pase a la siguiente villa. Mientras los residentes “engafian 0 tratan” en toda la propiedad, este atento a los nifios que se mueven de un edificio a otro y cruzan las calles. Que tengas un buen momento y seguro !!

We are asking all residents to take time to do their part in removing clutter from around their unit. Patio areas are one of the biggest problems!! If you read the Woodlake Handbook that has been provided to each resident, you will see that the following items only shall be allowed on the patio area; lawn furniture, cooking grills, plants, bicycles and children’s riding toys. The common area and sidewalks are to remain clean and free of debris. Do not hide items in the bushes. All residents need to be proactive in keeping the area around your unit neat and clean. You should also make sure that there are screens in all windows, windows have the proper color curtains; storm doors are in good working order and kept closed. By doing your part this will make Woodlake Villas a very appealing place to live!

Recently we have had many complaints from residents stating that people are taking their parking place. Like we have said in the past, Woodlake does not have assigned parking. Its first come first served.  The reason that this may be happening is residents are having guests and they are parking in that area. Please have guests park in areas that are near the villa but not in front of villa.

Thank you for your cooperation in the above matters.

Hurricane Michael Preparations

Mary Spilman
October 10, 2018

An update on a few items related to the property as well as the approach of Hurricane Michael.  As with Florence, the forecast varies as to how high the winds may be and how much rain we may receive.  With the hurricane now at CAT 4 status it very well could still be packing a good punch when it passes through our area so we are now installing the shutters at the fitness center and preparing for potential high winds.  We have also cleaned out all known drainage issues on the property and the on-site crew has also eliminated a potential flood issue in the Mathews Drive system that would result in a back-up in our ability to drain the lagoons and avoid potential flooding.  With winds predicted to arrive starting tonight and going through tomorrow, we are toggling the gates open this evening to avoid any wind, tree or electrical issues with the gate systems.  Also, it appears that one of the electrical contactors on the property that controls several of the outdoor pole light circuits burned up last night.  This requires a new contactor to be installed and we are attempting to locate the part right now.  It will take several hours to change out without any further complications or problems.  Given everything going on at the moment, it may take a few days before this repair is completed.

We’keep you all informed of any further developments or other information you may need to know.  Everybody be safe!
