REMINDER – Any changes to the exterior of your home or property (i.e. painting, adding a fence, installing a pool, adding playground equipment, cutting trees, etc.) must be submitted for approval. The forms are on the River Island HOA website or you can contact Jan Yu.
Please be aware street parking is prohibited in River Island. There have been several emails about buses having issues getting through the community, especially in cul-de-sacs.
The board has updated the boat parking rule to include no overnight parking at the dock behind the River House, which was previously excluded. The dock is being adapted for more resident use and enjoyment. The kayak rack has been relocated and other items will be added in the future to make it more user friendly. The new ramp will be installed within the next few weeks.
