The Board of Directors and Staff would like to welcome all of our summer residents and guests.  We would like also to remind you that there have been many rule changes made by the L&R Committee since last summer that will affect your stay especially in the area of Photo ID Cards, Guest Cards/Passes, Vehicle Decals and Parking Passes. Copies of the L&R Rules are available from the building manager.  Copies of Las Flores Tower Rules can be found on our website:     www.coronadoshores.org/LasFlores/rulesregs.htm  or hard copies may be obtained from the building manager.  Everyone is encouraged to review the rules to prevent any misunderstandings that could detract from your stay at the Shores. 

  

      BeachAttire                                                       

 Residents are reminded that Beach Attire and bare feet are not allowed in the front lobby.  When going to and from the beach in beach attire, please use the pedestrian doors located in the garage for exit and entry to the building.  Don’t forget to take a key with you as you will need a key to get back in the garage. 

       

         Expecting Guests?

 If you are expecting visitors or a guest from outside the complex you must notify the building door personnel to call the security kiosk to announce your guests. The security kiosk will  not accept phone calls announcing guests from individual residents.

     NO Smoking Reminder  

                          

 All Residents are reminded that Las Flores Tower is a non-smoking building except inside the confines of the individual units.  There is No Smoking in the common areas including the exclusive areas of the terrace and unit balconies.  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

         Garage Storage

 Las Flores Tower’s Rules and Regulations are fairly explicit as to what can and cannot be stored in assigned garage parking spaces, i.e. bicycles, surfboards, beach chairs, beach toys and approved wooden or Rubbermaid storage containers.  These items are acceptable.

                

 We have been noticing a lot of unauthorized material including cardboard boxes etc. stored in parking spaces.  These items are considered by the Coronado Fire Department  to be fire hazards.  Las Flores   Management requests that all unauthorized materials be removed from your parking spaces as soon as possible. 

ELEVATOR COURTESY 

Residents are reminded not to hold elevator doors open while waiting for others coming down the hall.  Holding the elevator doors open or if you prevent the doors from stopping three times the elevator will time out and require a service technician to reset it. It can take a significant amount of time waiting for a technician to arrive causing delays for our residents.  Please practice elevator courtesy.  The Building Staff thanks you for your cooperation.

 

CoronadoBicycle Thief -- Captured

 The bicycle thief who has been plaguing Coronado Shores and the local community for the past couple of years was finally apprehended on June 23rd.  The Shores Managers had been working with the Coronado Police to try and find ways to catch this guy.  After posting flyers provided by the police department the evening door person (Dawn Blanchard) at La Playa Tower recognized the thief as he entered their garage.  She confronted him telling him “I know who you are and I am calling the police.” He left the building and was apprehended a short time later Southbound on the Silver Strand.  He has been charged with four counts of burglary and grand theft with other charges pending. 

The police detectives remind us that even though this guy was caught you shouldn’t drop your guard as there will most likely be someone waiting in the wings to replace him.  We are now in the summer mode with a lot of new people on the complex that we aren’t familiar with, so be extra vigilant of what is going on around you and make sure you properly lock your bike.     

                              

     C.E.R.T.      TRAINING

           

For five Wednesdays - from May 19th thru June 16th - the Coronado Fire  Department  held  Community Emergency Response Team Training on site for staff and residents.  About 25 individuals completed the course Homeowners Gloria Cady and Ed Sweeney along with building manager Dennis Brokaw and building engineer Keith Kappen represented Las Flores Tower.  Another course is in the planning for the Fall, however this one will be off site.  If anyone is interested in attending you may contact the Coronado Fire Department  at     619-522-7374 

 

           Terrace Planters 

For your information, the Las Flores House Committee is working on plans to try some new plants in the terrace planters on the ocean side of the building.  The idea is to get away from the geraniums and to utilize more drought resistant plants.  If this works as planned we will eventually replace all the terrace planter geraniums.

         Board  of  Director
       Nominees  Needed

      

The Association has recently sent out letters and nomination forms seeking nominations for the Board.  Elections are to be held in November.  Two members of the current Board have declared that they will not stand for reelection. 

 The Board only meets six times a year and is flexible in setting meeting dates to accommodate members.  Everyone is asked to consider volunteering to stand for election or in volunteering to serve on one of the standing committees.   Please contact Dennis if you are interested.
