Winter Update

Hello friends and neighbors!

 

Winter at the lake has reached both ends of the temperature spectrum between the sadly-too-warm-to-skate-but-sometimes-sunny weather of December, to the bitter cold of January that kept our staff on their toes trying to mitigate freezing cottages.

 

It feels like we are seeing more and more homeowners at the lake during the off season and it’s AWESOME! Many celebrated holidays at the lake with New Year’s Eve fireworks, New Year’s Day polar plunge, skiing and snowboarding, wine tasting, bowling and movie days, MANY social gatherings with friends, and a warm, welcoming HOT TUB during the holidays! A BIG thank you to our HOA staff for keeping an eye on our cottages while we’re away…and keeping the hot tub going too.

 

Winter has not slowed down the work of the Board and you have likely noticed the uptick in communications lately. Thank you for bearing with us! Whew!

In case you missed them, here are some highlights…

 

  1. Meeting TIME CHANGEOur 2024 monthly meetings will now take place on the FOURTH Tuesday of each month at 7PM VBT (Veranda Beach Time)(except for December 2024) – meeting recordings are posted following each meeting and will remain available for one year.
  2. Anchoring and Mooring FAQThis document was a collaboration between VB HOA, the DNR and VB Marina in an effort to simply provide all of the information in one place.
  3. AMENITIES SurveyTHANK YOU to everyone who participated in the survey. The Amenities working group (a subset of the Board) is busy working to sift through the results, figure out what is possible and from there determine which things to pursue. Stay tuned!
  4. COMMUNICATIONS Guidelinesupdates to our HOA Communications Guidelines were approved by the Board in December 2023. These updates include footnotes pointing to the rules/reasons for certain communications as well as opening up the Board to the use of social media for informational purposes.
  5. COMMITTEE recruitmentTHANK YOU to all of the volunteers who have stepped up to serve (or continue serving) on one of our committees for 2024.
  6. RULES & REGULATIONS Updates to our HOA Rules & Regulations have been in the works for many months and were just approved by the Board at the February 2024 meeting.
  7. ENFORCEMENT Policy Updates to our HOA Enforcement Policy have been in the works for many months and were just approved by the Board at the February 2024 meeting.
  8. 2024 EVENTS – The Fun Committee has continued to work hard and has been preparing for 2024. You can find the 2024 Events Calendar HERE.
  9. COMMUNITY DIRECTORY – We have the opportunity to utilize a community directory feature on our HOA website and will be working to get it all set up in the next couple months. Homeowners were given the opportunity to opt-OUT via survey ending 2/29/24. Homeowners who would like to change their opt-IN/OUT status may contact Rhonda at any time.

Coming Soon...

 

  • SURVEY: HOA Satisfaction
  • Amenities Survey results and go-forward plans
  • Rental Agency Renewals – The Board is evaluating the compliance of each of the current rental agencies and working on new contracts with those that are in compliance for 2024. Refer to our website for more information about renting your cottage.

Enforcement: Private rentals, Architecture and Landscape Compliance, Parking and more…

The Board has heard the community’s calls for increased enforcement on all levels, and we want you to know that it is happening. We are following the guidance laid out in the recently updated HOA Enforcement Policy, and many communications about non-compliance have gone out to homeowners over the past several months. The Board is actively working toward compliance with those homeowners, and we appreciate your continued support in following the rules and regulations laid out to best protect the community we all love.

 

See Something? Say Something

 

Because we don’t have the capacity and personnel to monitor everything happening in the community at all times, we rely on the community to follow the guidelines we have in place, and let us know as questions and concerns arise, so we may investigate and remedy those issues.

 

Please refer to the policies found on our HOA website: www.verandabeachhomeowners.com and contact us at board@vbhoawa.com with any questions or concerns.

Our family is gearing up for baseball season for Zander and Ryder while wrapping up Ryder's regular hockey season and diving into spring hockey! (And little sister, Quinn, is along for the ride to cheer on her brothers!) We enjoyed New Years and mid-winter break at the lake with family and friends, and look forward to spring and summer.

 

Happy (belated) Presidents Day and Family Day!

And hello spring, we hope!?
