Seashore Line Resort

There will be an owner’s meeting at the pole barn.  Sunday, May 20th at 10:00 AM.

Well it’s official, winter is over and spring has finally arrived.  Not that the winter was that bad anyway, but it’s nice to know that it’s behind us.  We are only a few days out from the water being turned on in the park (April 2nd) and I know we all can’t wait to get back to the seashore and our extended family as Seashore Line.

A lot has happened in the park as Joe and Gene have been working diligently in getting things done during the winter months.  Here are a few things off hand that you will notice:

• The landscaping by the front sign as soon as you enter has been cleaned up splashed with some color
• An addition has been added to the workshop so that the outdoor equipment can be sheltered from the elements
• A new security system has been added to the park with a few new cameras.  This new system is online so we can keep an eye on things around the corner or around the world
• The renovations to the shower houses, front and back, are complete as well as the laundry rooms
• The basketball courts have been refaced and new nets and backboards have been installed
• All street signs have been fixed, and covered with white vinyl sleeves
• The walkway from Whistle Stop to the pool has been landscaped
• Many dead or dangerous tress have been removed
• Many of the corner street signs are now capped with a solar light top, to increase viability on those dark intersections
• Various landscaping around the park has been improved and cleaned up

There are probably a dozen or so other improvements that have been made, but I won’t spoil the surprise right now.  Leaf collection will begin shortly after the water is turned on.  You will be able to find the collection schedule here.

A lot of the events have been posted on the events page.  There will be a bunch more added soon, we are just trying to work out some dates and times.  So check back often.

There are a few things coming up that I would like to start planting a bug in people’s ear now.  Two committees will be forming this year for some improvement projects that we would like to get worked out.  The first committee will be charged with providing a recommendation for the improvement of the park’s streets.  We would all like to move beyond crushed shells and clouds of dust, but doing so will require some ideas.  The second committee will be formed to make a proposal in recreational facilities at the park.  The playground, the pool, game room, pole barn and the activity center are in need of some love, as well as a few areas that will need to be brought up to code.  This will be a large investment and we do not want to take this decision without a lot of thought.

This will be a fun and exciting year for us all, and I am looking forward to joining you all in another summer of fun.  See you soon!

I’m happy to report that the front gate is now fixed.  Remotes, cards, and the call in number are operational.

It’s official the 1st Annual Oktoberfest celebration will be held on Saturday Oct 22nd in the Activity center.  Our own Dawn Amos will be organizing the event and it should be a great time.  So bring a 6-pack of your favorite microbrew.  Food and exact time details will be posted soon, so stay tuned.  Questions can be directed by emailed Dawn at damos9@verizon.net.

Please find in the link below a copy of the wish list submitted by the Maintenance committee for repairs / enhancements for the 2011 season.  There will be additional items I’m sure added.  This is a list of suggestions and all of them may not be done for the next season.  Comments and ideas are very welcomed and needed, so please email us at board@seashorelinecr.com.

WISH LIST 2011

Sorry for the short notice folks, but I’m going to have to cancel the owner’s meeting for September.  Things have been very busy for all 3 board members and none of us are able to make it down for the meeting.  Luckily on October 1st we will have a full board again and scheduling issues should be a thing of the past.  I look forward to that!  As always any questions or requests for current financials can be directed to board@seashorlinecr.com and will be answered asap.

A quick update on some current matters:

• The computer that controls the gate has died.  That is why the gate cards are not currently working and the gate automatically opens up once someone gets close enough.  A new one is on order and will be here the week of the 19th of September.
• The basketball backboards have been ordered and the replacement and refinishing of the new courts will be completed by the spring
• Water Turnoff will be Sunday November 13th
• The condo fee notice has gone out by mail and should be received soon.  Anyone who requested it electronically will get it this weekend

The full board will meet very soon to discuss off season projects.  We will keep the site updated with plans as well as photos throughout the off season.  I am already looking forward to spring!

According to AC electric the power was out in the campground for approximately 5 hours. That is on the borderline of how long an unopened fridge/freezer will keep things from perishing. So please evaluate your food items before eating them.

So far so good!  Joe called a few minutes ago and said the park seems to have fared well.  He is currently getting the wells back online and checking around the park.  I’m sure there will be some tree debris as well as road pitting but he hasn’t see anything major yet.  Cape May County is still under a state of emergency so travel by non-emergency vehicles is prohibited.  If I hear anything else I’ll update here (and Facebook).

ATTENTION

Cape May County officials signed an emergency proclamation on Thursday, August 25th at 2:00 P.M.  The emergency proclamation calls for MANDATORY evacuation of barrier islands today and MANDATORY evacuation of all of Cape May County at 8 A.M. On Friday, August 26th.

We’ll keep everyone posted after the storm passes as to what (if any) damage the park has taken due to the storm.  Check back here for notices.
