Newsletter

February 22, 2010

Dear Coral Hammock Owners:

The association's files and financial records have now been transferred to your new management company. Budget information has been entered into our system and January operating reports have been distributed to the Board of Directors. The funding of various projects has been reviewed by the Board and I have been asked by association President Craig Tellerd to proceed with refurbishing the landscape lighting which, over the years, has fallen into disrepair. In addition, I have been asked to proceed with making repairs to the irrigation system which were identified during an inspection conducted in January.

The two new pool heaters which were recently installed to replace the single unit that became inoperable in December have been keeping the pool warm even though we have been experiencing some problems with the breakers tripping off. To resolve this problem the electrical circuits for the pool heaters are being upgraded this week. New pool umbrellas and weighted stands are to be purchased as the existing umbrellas are extremely worn. New locks, automatic door closers, video cameras and new TV's for the clubhouse will be installed as funds are available. Everyone is asked to please be sure to lock all the doors at the clubhouse, all the gates in the pool area and the one at the main entrance.

The new grounds men, ABC Landscaping, have been busy trimming back overgrown areas and removing weeds in addition to keeping the grass cut. It is anticipated that additional plants will be installed along US1 and other areas where plants have died. This work will be completed during the summer which is typically our rainy season. It is anticipated that the installation of river rock to fill in the remaining bare areas where there used to be mulch will be completed mid-year as additional funds are available.

To ensure that Coral Hammock remains a premiere community, please make note of the following rules and regulations and advise your rental agent and/or tenants of the importance of observing these rules:

2.3 Vehicles may park only in designated parking spaces and may not park in the following areas of the association property: designated "fire lanes", or the driveways.

2.7 Vehicle maintenance, repair or renovation is not permitted on association property...

8.1 Exterior porches, carports under raised units and walkways area are to be maintained in a safe clean neat and attractive condition. No towels, clothing, rugs, shoes or other equipment will be permitted at any time.

8.3 Only patio furniture is permitted on porches...

All owners who are not in residence should notify their tenants and rental agents that a major clean-up, to include the removal of unauthorized items under all the individual homes, will be scheduled in the spring. To avoid being charged by the association, unit owners should make arrangements to have all such items removed and properly disposed of within the next 30 days; such items may not be piled out front. Any remaining items will be disposed of and the individual unit owner will be billed for the cost of the removal. Your cooperation in completing this major clean-up is greatly appreciated.

Please remember to submit a rental registration form for any rentals that you may currently have or that occur in the future, or ask your agent to do so. The form can be found on the Coral Hammock website www.coralhammockhoa.com. Please contact me should you have any questions.

Thank you,

Sterling Christian
