Please note that these are the larger community projects and is not meant to be an all inclusive list. Minor projects and ongoing maintenance continue daily.
HVAC Boiler (heating) System Replacement Project
The HVAC Boiler Replacement Project is now complete (this is specific to the heating system for our community as a whole). Heat is flowing to all units through the Association's new, updated HVAC boiler (heating) system in the Central Plant.
Phase 1-Removal of old boiler system (this is complete).
Phase 2-Installation of new boilers and it's components (this is complete).
Phase 3-Installation of system pumps (this is complete)
Phase 4 (final phase)-Connections of new boiler (heating) system to existing pipe system and all final connections. This is complete, including the initial heating system start up.
Note that this HVAC Boiler (heating) System Replacement Project is specific to the heating system. The A/C system is a completely separate system from the HVAC boiler (heating) system. The A/C system is able to operate during the warmer/summer months when the boiler (heating) system is not in use. The two separate systems are unable to operate at the same time, due to the two pipe system throughout the entire community.
May 2024 Update Info-HVAC Boiler Replacement System Project
The Board of Directors has now approved the one time special assessment for the Boiler Replacement Project.
The total cost for the new boiler project is $601,500 and the special assessment to each owner was approved for the amount of $2,350 per unit. The project will now begin moving forward.
Thank you to the many owners who participated in the HVAC Boiler Replacement Project meetings that were held all throughout April (15 meetings), and also the special meeting on May 2nd.

Upcoming 2024:
Additional note: Please note that due to the extended 2022/2023 winter season conditions, there were several budget adjustments needed due to unprecedented, heavy, late season, snow storms resulting in higher, unexpected costs of snowplowing, salt and grounds snow removal, longer season boiler/gas costs, and a high number of roof and pipe leaks requiring emergency attention.
We are partnering closely with our professional partners, to work within any budget adjustments, to continue the projects below. Please reach out to management if you have questions about this.
