Snowbirds – I
don’t like to rub it in, but yesterday was a wonderful day at Southpoint. The
pool was about 85 F - 29C. The ocean was
a little cooler, but very clear and fairly calm. By the way, did you know that the pool
holds 77,000 gallons of water?

I am not sure
about glass replacing the steel railings.
I think that Vinny has written off the idea—but in any event, there is a
problem with changing to glass. It might be considered a material alteration, and the Southpoint documents would have
to be changed. This would require a vote by all the owners. It’s a two step
process:
·
First, the Board must approve the material alteration (the railings to be
changed to glass.)
·
Second,
the Owners must ratify the Board’s vote by a 2/3 majority.
The good news
is that it is possible to make the change provided that 2/3 of us want it. Getting the two-thirds vote will be
troublesome, but there are a few other changes that may be wanted at the same
time. A committee could collect votes here, on the property, and then a mailing
could be done with telephone follow-up by the committee.
Someone wrote
to me asking about the condition of the beach. Our beach is an eyesore. The
cabanas are in disarray, and are positioned willy-nilly on the beach. There are
many different colors, some cabanas are in good shape, others should be
tossed.
So? Why don’t
we reorganize them and get rid of the ones in bad shape? Reason: The cabanas do
not belong to us. Each one is privately owned. Perhaps the next Board, can get
some legal advice on the matter.
The hotels on
Fort Lauderdale’s main beach have adopted a very beautiful plan. Umbrellas are
set up for guests every morning and taken down every afternoon. Lounge chairs
could be stacked by the gate and carried to the umbrellas by owners who want to
spend time on the beach. If you haven’t seen this set up, drive South on A1A
until you see the hotel beach area.
Let me know
what you think.
