Condo I – June 2026
Welcome to Our New Neighbor!
Joseph Endres – 138 Skyline Dr.
Condo I Board of Managers Annual Elections – An open meeting for Condo One homeowners will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24 for the purpose of holding the annual election of the Condo I Board of Managers. Prior to the election meeting, you will receive your proxy ballot in the mail. The letter accompanying your ballot will explain the procedure for voting by proxy in the event you are not able to attend the meeting in person. You will need to return the envelope your proxy ballot was mailed in, so don’t throw it away. Please complete the proxy and return the proxy in the same envelope that the proxy was mailed to you in. You may return your proxy via USPS or place it in one of three drop boxes up at the clubhouse.
There are positions available on the board, and we could use help. If you have not already done so and would like to serve on the board, please, submit your intention along with any relative background as soon as possible, but not later than June 10.
Thank you, Danielle – Condo I Board Member and Secretary, Danielle Deutsch Silverman has stepped down from the board due to time constraints and work commitments. Many thanks go out to Danielle for her time spent serving Condo I. She has been an asset to the board, and we will miss her. Best of luck in your future endeavors, Danielle.
Cement – Repairs were made to the cement walkway around units 149 – 164 (Building 14).
Gutters & Leaders – New commercial-sized gutters and leaders were put on units 13 – 24 and units 50, 52, 54, 58, and 60. We are looking into upgrading the gutters and leaders on another building.
Landscaping – Sometime in the future, Cutting Edge will trim our bushes. If there are any bushes you do not want them to trim, tie a ribbon on the bush, and they will leave that bush alone.
Red Dragon Organics – Red Dragon Organics recently sprayed the area around our homes, including the lawn, for ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes. Stay safe and avoid walking on the grass or in the woods.
Basement 3A – It has been a long time coming, but the Brookhaven Town Building Permit for the basement has arrived. Work should resume soon. Hooray!
Noise / Smoke – Noise and secondhand smoke from neighboring units pose a significant nuisance and, in the case of the latter, a serious health risk. As per the Prospectus, homeowners shall not cause or permit any unusual or objectionable noise or odors to be produced upon or emanate from their units.
Noise: Voices, music, TV can be heard through some walls. If you have a TV on at such a volume that you can hear it in the next room, it is likely that your neighbor can hear it, too. Consideration is required at all times of the day. We have an 11:00 p.m. noise cut-off. Keep the volume down.
Smoking: If you live in a multi-dwelling building, you and your neighbors share the same air. Smoke whether it is from tobacco or marijuana, smoked via a cigarette, cigar, pipe, and/or e-cigarette passes from one unit to surrounding homes. Smoke passes along plumbing pipes, through medicine cabinets, through electrical outlets, attics, and air vents. Smoking indoors poses a significant health risk not only to the smoker, but to surrounding neighbors from both second and third hand smoke. Smoke from tobacco and marijuana are both known to be highly carcinogenic and cause illness not only to those who partake, but also to those who are subjected to second-hand and tertiary smoke.
The Prospectus clearly states homeowners may not permit unusual or objectionable odors to be produced upon or come from their units. No one’s right to smoke inside over shadows someone else’s right to breath clean air in their own home. Smoking should be done outside and not inside where it has serious health consequences for others. Respect for others is crucial.
Respect for Wildlife – We are fortunate and should be honored to live in the Compatible Growth Area of the Pine Barrens. That being said, please, have respect for the wildlife that we share our wooded community with. They have as much a right to live here as we do. Animals and plants are an essential part of a healthy ecosystem and actively contribute to the environment. They are extremely important for keeping the balance, structure, and health of the environment aiding in nutrient cycling, aeration of the soil, plant pollination, seed dispersal, insect control, predator-prey management and more. Animals are sentient beings and only want to survive and raise their babies just like us. Understandably, no one wants critters running inside their home. But if they are outside that is where they should be. If that bothers you, simply use a scent or taste repellent or deterrent. Many come in spray form, last over a month once applied, and can be found at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Please, do not harm the wildlife. Besides coming here for the amenities, most people chose to live here because they love nature.
Getting a New HVAC System? – As you are switching to a new HVAC system be sure to the check the old PVC condensate waste line and especially the PVC elbow pipe for rust particles from the old system. There have been cases where the elbow is filled with rust which in turn can cause water to back up and flood the box the HVAC system sits on.
Renovations – Are you considering new windows, a door, storm door, sliding door or making changes to the garden? Prior to any work being done, please, write to the Condo One Board for prior approval. The architectural matrix must be followed. There are color and design requirements. Contractors must submit a copy of their license, proof that they hold liability and workers compensation insurance, and sign a hold harmless form. No work can begin until the proper documents are submitted and you receive written permission from the board.
Litter – We need to work together to keep our community beautiful. Trash on the ground is unsightly. Please, inform your guests that they are to put their trash in a dumpster and not in the parking lot.
