Preparing Your Unit for the Roofing Project

by

Construction will begin soon and it is important to prepare your unit for the upcoming roofing project. Construction schedules and additional instructions will be posted and provided to on-site residents when contractions begins. In the meantime, the following actions are recommended to prepare your unit for construction, especially if you will not be in Raintree during the project. Snow birds should do these now. For more details regarding the scope of the project, please read this roofing project update.

1. If you have an angled/garden window, access to your unit will be required. To avoid a charge for a locksmith, leave a key with a permanent resident or in a lock box at your unit and update this information with Randy Moreland (6116 Raintree).

2. If you are leaving your car in an open parking space, please leave your car key with a permanent resident or in a lock box at your unit and update Randy Moreland (6116 Raintree). Cars may be towed at owner’s expense if necessary.

3. Tighten up ceiling fixtures and glass bulbs and relocate items that may be affected by the vibrations of construction (knick knacks, pictures, etc.). This should be done by both upper and lower units.

4. Remove items under skylights and cover areas directly below skylights.

5. Remove all items from areas where new windows will be installed.

If you have any questions regarding the above recommendations, please contact Randy Moreland at 407-341-2672.

Unit Emergency Contact Information Needed if Not in Raintree This Year

by

With Covid-19 affecting us this year, some of our snow birds have chosen not to come down. This makes knowing who to contact when there is a problem within a unit very important. We already had smoke alarm batteries die and roof leaks occur, both of which meant Maintenance needed access to the unit to make repairs.

For this reason, we need a record of who to contact locally for a key to a unit, or either a friend or company looking after a unit. Emergency contact information, the name and phone number of a local person who has a key, should be sent to Randy Moreland at Phantom3mb@aol.com or to Katie Wilkerson (Vista Management) at Kwilkerson@vistacamfl.com.

How to Submit a Work Order

by

To better expedite maintenance requests, a work order must be submitted through Vista Management. Once received, the work order is expedited to a Board member and/or a representative from Vista Management who will respond accordingly.

Why is a work order important? Work orders are a record of maintenance performed around the community. If you ask someone directly for maintenance assistance, there is no record of your request. A work order helps the Board organize and follow-through with requests, so you know that your concern has been received.

Pool Gate Access Card Readers Installed

by

The conduits and wires for the new electronic pool gate card readers were installed last week. Starting in December, Raintree residents will receive their pool pass and an electronic card to open the gate. You’ll need both of these to use and enter the pool. Check out the photos to see what the boxes look like at the gates.

Dumpster Issue on Clubview Drive

by

Over the past few weeks, several residents have observed a trend at the Clubview Drive dumpster that is creating a mess and potential health hazards:

  • Trash bags are being left OUTSIDE of the gates of the dumpster and/or beside the gates leading into the dumpster. 
  • Trash bags are being left inside the gates, beside the dumpster. 
  • White kitchen bags with orange ties are being left beside the dumpster and the ties are NOT TIED. Animals have gotten into these bags.
  • Sometimes the trash is put into small boxes and lined up on the side of the dumpster gate.

It should come as no surprise that garbage must be placed INSIDE the dumpster. This is a friendly reminder that when garbage is not handled properly, your neighbors not only see your mess, but often have to pick up your mess.

Thank you for helping to keep this community a beautiful place to live.

Community Reminder: Pet Waste Must Be Picked Up

by

It doesn’t take much to remember that we have pets in our community. If you don’t watch your step, you are liable to step in one such reminder! 

Besides being unsightly and smelly, animal waste can carry bacteria and parasites which can affect both humans and other pets.

One of the most common forms of disease transmission between dogs is through fecal matter.

By taking a few simple steps to clean up after your pet, you contribute not only to the beautification of our community but also help to eliminate one of the most irritating nuisances in our community. Thank you for your cooperation.

When walking your dog(s) in the community, remember to:

  • Stay on the community grass and sidewalks.
     
  • Take along a baggie with you to pick up waste with and then dispose of it properly. 
     
  • Have all dogs on a leash.
