Projects
Tidal Gut Erosion:
We are addressing the erosion of the banks of the tidal gut along Hibiscus Drive. The Association is responsible for the bank and the integrity of Hibiscus Drive. There was a presentation and discussion at the 2019 Annual Meeting regarding planning and possible approaches, and the members present voted to authorize the Board to gather information and investigate further. Please see President Dianne Ryan's update report at this link. [9/18/2019]
Beautification:
The walkway to the boat ramp area from Hibiscus Road was addressed. The area has been trimmed and cleaned up. In addition, the fences along the area have been replaced. Vandalized shrubs along the Hibiscus tidal gut have been cleaned up.
Road Replacement / Drainage:
A contractor was engaged to complete Holly, Sunrise Shore, Shell and miscellaneous potholes with work completed May/June 2017. Several additional drains were installed on roads and at the boat ramp.
Boat Ramp Area:
Some trees were removed (SEP 2016) and clean-up performed after "Mathew" and a major Northeaster. Additional drainage improvements and grading were performed after the dredging spoils were removed. Repairs to the boat ramp were also made in 2017. Both docks at the ramp were rebuilt in 2021.
Bulkheads:
Deteriorated community bulkheads along Hibiscus, Coral Court and Sunrise Drive have been repaired. A survey of private bulkheads has been completed and letters will be sent out to those properties that currently need attention. The original concrete-capped bulkheads have pretty much reached the end of their useful life and those remaining are expected to fail in the near future (many have already failed and been replaced).

Dredging:
Silted-in areas of the community canals were dredged in late 2016. The spoils were drained in the boat ramp area in "Geotubes" and subsequently removed (spring 2017). Further regrading, additional drains and plantings were installed in the area. All work was permitted through the appropriate government agencies. We don't expect to have to dredge again for about another 10 years.
