Dear Sea Trail Homeowners,
I wanted to update you on a number of things going on and a few upcoming events:
Fountains: By now you all have seen that the pond fountains have been turned on again in Sea Trail. There are now five fountains operating throughout Sea Trail. The Sea Trail Master Association (STMA) entered into a partnership with Sea Trail Golf Club and the Declarant, Riptide Builders to make the fountains operational again. The STMA Board agreed that the fountains enhance the beauty of our Sea Trail community. The STMA will pay the electricity for the five fountains and Sea Trail Golf Club will keep the fountains maintained and repaired. The five fountains are at Jones #5, Jones #9, Byrd #2, Jones/Byrd Clubhouse and Maples #7/8. The electricity cost is $5,100 per year or approximately $3.00 per property owner. The fountains are aesthetically pleasing and also benefit pond aeration, reduce mosquitos, reduce unpleasant smells and enable our irrigation system to function better. Riptide Builders is providing two larger fountains, one in Discovery Lake and one in the pond on Jones #14. Riptide Builders will be fully responsible for maintaining and paying for the operation of those two fountains. The two fountains should be installed in the near future. Enjoy the fountains as you drive and golf throughout Sea Trail!
Ponds: The STMA and Riptide Builders have entered into a joint pond spraying contract which will spray six ponds that Sea Trail Golf Club is currently not spraying. Two ponds in Oyster Pointe, two ponds by Jones/Byrd Clubhouse, Discovery Lake and Eastwood Park. The annual contract cost is $5,940 and is split equally between STMA and Riptide. You should see a generally improved appearance of the ponds as we move forward with this spraying contract. As you can see, STMA is partnering with Riptide to accomplish projects together that were ignored in past years. There is a lot we can accomplish when we all work together for the good of the Sea Trail community!
Upcoming STMA Board Meeting: The next STMA Board meeting is next Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at 3:00 pm at the Pink Palace. This Board meeting will be open to Committee Chairs and 30 additional homeowners. We will be observing the Governor’s occupancy guidelines for meetings. Homeowners will need to register to attend the meeting by clicking HERE. Committee Chairs do not have to pre-register. We are planning to video the meeting and post on the website after the meeting. This will be dependent on the scheduled video equipment installation going as planned. Our future goal is to video all formal Board Meetings and post to the website so that all members can view the meetings online. The meetings will not be live streamed. Hopefully this summer we can begin to have meetings open to all interested homeowners.
Sea Horse Estates Storm Water Swale: Some people may have noticed a few trees being cut down last week on Jones #1 and Jones #3. A storm water swale is being constructed to handle the water runoff from the golf course that was impacting some Seahorse Estates homeowner yards. It was necessary to remove a few trees prior to creating the storm water swale. This project is being done and paid for by Riptide Builders.
STMA Trivia Night: STMA Social events are returning with Trivia Night on Saturday, May 22 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. For more information and sign up, click HERE.
Don’t forget to check the website!
Have a great day!
