Island Dunes Update -- Friday, Oct. 22

Some general updates:

The POA has made good progress getting the grounds cleaned up as much as possible. The dirt and sand have been cleaned up from the parking lots and common areas. A temporary dune walk is being built and will be completed in a few more days.

The pools will not be ready for some time. One pool needs some repairs, and sand from the exposed dunes continues to blow into the area, so the pools cannot be refilled at this time. The board is looking into the possibility of some fencing or netting that could keep the sand from blowing into the area.

There are plans to re-vegetate the dunes, but this work can not be started until the irrigation system is in place. The irrigation system, is turn, is waiting for repairs to be made to the water reclamation plant which is on the country club property. Some bad news -- we are expecting rough seas with 5 to 6 foot waves this weekend. Let's hope our barren dunes can withstand the onslaught!
