Boundaries

The Murano subdivision planted landscaping and ran irrigation lines along Sunset Trail, but the plants and pipes are on Islesworth property. Also, a small portion of the Murano sidewalk is on our property. These items put us at risk of liability if there's an accident. Board president Dennis Rohan is working with the county to determine the proper placement of the landscaping and other items regarding the property line.

Regarding the boundary with Hidden Oaks Middle School, The Martin County School Board had not yet responded to the landscaping proposal presented by Islesworth. A school district contractor had torn out the landscape buffer when re-doing the fence. He said the trees were in the way, so he told the crew to tear them out. The Islesworth board is trying to get the landscaping buffer replaced at School Board expense. 

Painting

The Islesworth Board is going to be sending letters to residents whose homes are showing need of painting. Our homes are 10 years old and have about reached the limit of the original paint job. The Board can require re-painting based on by-laws that state that homes must be maintained in a "manner satisfactory to the association."

Insurance

Islesworth was notified by Nationwide Insurance that as of Dec. 31, the company will no longer insure our homeowners association. Many insurers are dropping HOAs. The Board accepted a bid from Stuart Insurance, but it did not cover the fences. Again, most insurers no longer will cover fencing because of the widespread damage and replacement following the hurricanes. However, the Board was going to find out if we could get a rider to cover the fences.
