LANDSCAPE ADVISORY GROUP
The L&R
Committee is considering a list of trees recommended for planting at Coronado Shores,
excluding palms - which will be addressed separately.
In view of concerns for safety and potential legal liabilities for Coronado Shores
associated with the Australian Corals, it is being recommended that over a period of time
these trees be considered for removal and replaced by appropriate alternatives. Any decisions would be based on a tree-by-tree
assessment, but priority would be given to removal of these trees based on the risk they
pose. Details concerning new plantings along
the perimeter of the community are being discussed and plans will be finalized well before
the optimal planting time in late Winter or early Spring.
A framework for carrying out needed work and the manner in which the budgeted 2009
funding for landscape remediation will be apportioned to each residential building will be
finalized at the January meeting.
TENNIS
INTEREST GROUP
The weather in Coronado is such a blessing that even though it’s January,
there is no excuse not to grab your racket and head for one of the eight courts that we
have at the Shores. The availability of
partners should increase too as we welcome our Winter players. It’s always great to see old friends again and
make new acquaintances. Mark your calendars
for February 14, as that is the tentative date for our next round robin and social. More details will be coming, but who could resist
playing the ultimate “love” game on Valentine’s Day?
Also, thanks to
the L&R Committee, funds have been budgeted to resurface Courts 7 & 8 at the south
end of the community. Bids will be obtained
soon to determine the cost of proceeding with this project.
Hopefully, work can begin early in the year, although the weather will be an
important factor in deciding on an exact start date.
If you have any questions or comments about tennis activities or the courts at the
Shores, feel free to contact Mike Brennan, Chair of the Tennis Interest Group, at
619/522-0042 or via e-mail at ilikemike327@aol.com.
ROEDER
PAVILION UPGRADES
Mirrors have been
installed around and behind the bar at the Roeder Pavilion.
The mirrors were installed in an effort to bring the feeling of water indoors and
the effect is a definite improvement. The
reflection of the water in the mirrors is noticeable as soon as you enter the Roeder
Pavilion. Stop by and see for yourself!
