UPDATED 12/30/2022, updates as of this date are marked in white.
BOTH THE FRONT GATE AND THE WATER LEAK HAS BEEN FIXED AND THE PARK IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL PER WINTER SEASON USE.
NO WATER OR BATH FACILITIES (Updated Above): The water main coming into the park is severely leaking and the water to the park had to be shut off. We are unable to give an estimate as to when the water to the front bathhouse will be restored based on the current weather and freezing temperatures. Please continue to monitor the website for updates.
FRONT GATE (as of 12/23/2022, Updated Above): The front gate is out of service due to ice and cannot be opened, this message will be removed once it is functioning again.
GATE CODE: The gate code has been removed, be sure to have your park key to be able to open the park gate and access the front bathhouse.
AED'S: The AED's have been moved inside to the men's and women's bathhouse at the administrative building for the winter.
CENTER BATHHOUSE/CLUBHOUSE/LAUNDRY: These areas are closed, the front bathhouse will remain open for the winter season.
GARBAGE: All garbage must be placed within the receptacle; not around it or in front of it. As a reminder all larger items and construction debris, must be dispose of off property by the co-owner. Off season - NO waste is to be left and must be taken home with you to dispose of.
ELECTRIC: The best way to avoid an electric bill for the winter is to unplug your unit. All electric used over the winter months will be billed accordingly.
SEWER: DO NOT place items down your sink or toilet drains, including flushable wipes, baby wipes, grease, etc., doing so causes clogging and makes it more costly to maintain our sewer system. This is especially important during the winter months as there is not a continuous flow of waste to flush the pipes during the winter months.
WATER: Based on the upcoming weather forecast with 3 consecutive freezing nights, the water is projected to be turned off for the winter season on Monday, October 17th. Updated: There was an issue with the air compressor and water shutoff didn't occur. Luckily the temps changed and the 3 freezing nights did not occur. Water will be turned off on Monday, November 7th.
SPEED BUMPS: The speed bumps have been removed for the season. Please continue to maintain speeds of 5 MPH or less for the safety of all.
SECURITY: If you visit the park during the off season, please use your eyes and ears, monitoring the park. This is one of the best forms of park security we can have. If you see something unusual, out of place or broken, please let the Park Manager know, or dial 911 if perceived urgent. When contacting the Park Manager during the off-season, please leave a brief message notating your name and phone number and a brief description of your need. During the off season, phone messages are reviewed once per day with the Park Manager responding to co-owner calls within a 24-48 hour period.
ANNUAL INSPECTION: Every fall EGLE visits the park as part of the process to receive a yearly license. Compliance is essential with maintaining 4 ft. halo's around all structures, appropriate water / electrical line hook-ups, safety chains around propane tanks, and anti-siphon water devices on ALL water spigots. We have passed this years inspection. If your anti-siphon valve is missing at any time, you will be charged $10.00 for each device when the park manager replaces it.
SPECTRUM UPDATE: The "Guest Network" is discontinued and should not be visible on your devices.
"Resident Network" is active, please use this network. The password is the same as the guest network was (sorry we needed 8 characters). If you have trouble connecting, try forgetting all wifi networks and signing into the resident network again as this has helped many individuals. You must resign into the new resident network on every device.
MBPS have greatly improved for the majority of co-owners and the board will continue to work with Spectrum on areas with slower/little speed. Contact Kim or Cathy via email, Facebook messenger or in person if you experience no signals, buffering, or are being kicked off the network; do not contact Spectrum until further notice. THANKS EVERYONE!
Annual Meeting: Thank you all that attended the annual meeting yesterday. A lot was discussed and covered and we thank you all for your continued support in the betterment of our great community!
New Board of Directors: Please welcome Greg back to the Board of Directors and thank you to Michele for your service on the previous Board.
SPECTRUM UPDATE 7/6:
A community wide shut down occurred in the early morning hours. Technicians have been on site today. IF YOU ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM CONNECTING, please do the following. Co-owner help is needed to bombard Spectrum with service calls:
This information will be distributed at the annual meeting. Thank you for your help.
WALKING PATHS: Please use caution when using the walking paths, as many tree roots have upheaved the blacktop. These areas have been marked with paint to provide a visual caution until a contractor can be acquired to make the repairs. Remember these paths are for walking only; no bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, etc.
SURVEY: Plotting within the park is completed and some minor adjustments are being made. Several stakes have been removed, please DO NOT remove any wooden or metal stakes/pins on your property as these are legal markings. Each stake that has been removed will be re-staked and the Association will be charged over and above the original expenses associated with the staking. Please do not increase the Association's expenses by removing stakes. The Board will remove wooden stakes once all new mapping is documented, recorded and completed.
PET REMINDERS: This past season there were several complaints concerning pets i.e., lunging, unleashed, unmonitored, pet waste in and about the campground including pet waste in front of the park by the basketball net, etc. Please keep your pets on leashes at all times and clean up after them in EVERY area of the campground. The State of Michigan requires that all animals must be leashed at all times and under the owner's control. No pets are allowed other than those that are owned by co-owners
Reminders for the Safety and Consideration of All:
Grass Cutting: It is the responsibility of the unit owners to ensure that the areas of grass needing to be cut remain clear of any items which includes, boats trailers, hoses, yarn ornaments, goose/animal deterrents, vehicles, etc. It is not the responsibility of the lawn service to move these items or attempt to weed whip around/beneath them. Also, if you are using another owners unit to park your vehicle, they should be aware and provided approval prior to parking on them and it is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is moved so that the lawn cutting service can trim their grass.
Parking: Numerous parking complaints have been brought to the attention of the board and all co-owners need to ensure that they comply with the following parking rules:
These regulations are for the safety of all and those owners who do not comply will receive letters from the board. Please be courteous of other owners and the cost that occurs in sending these letters; along with the time associated with the board who can use the time to focus on more important issues within the park.
Marina: The marina now has a website and is managed by the marina board and this post to our site is to help get the information out as quickly as possible. Please share their website with any marina owners you may know. AusableHuronCondominiumMarina.com
