THE CLUBHOUSE RENOVATION IS UNDERWAY!
By Sam Harman Property Owner’s Representative
The first step is to demolish and remove areas that will be reworked. Gas tanks have been removed as the new veranda will be expanded into this area. Stone patios and walls have been removed, ceilings have been opened up and light fixtures removed and, the veranda bar which brought comfort to many has been removed.

ROAD SLOUGHING REPAIR
Road work to repair the road sloughing on Petit Ridge Drive continues. Once complete the road will resemble the recent project on Falcon Heights, pictured left.
Please use the detour map below to navigate around the area over the next few weeks. We will send an update once the work is complete.
