Gates
While the exit bound, metal swing gates did closed as scheduled yesterday, the entry bound, metal swing gates and the barrier arms at the resident entrance did not closed as scheduled. We have reported this to our vendors.
Landscaping
We are working with multiple landscaping vendors to restore the community back to its former condition. Cleanup and restoration is typically the longest phase post-hurricane so we graciously ask for your patience. Vendors, including TruScapes are working with limited crews and resources at this time. Brightview Tree Service will be here next week to remove or where possible, replant trees meeting FEMA level 1 standards.
Yard debris, other trees and plants that have fallen or are leaning will be addressed as resources permit. We will keep you updated as we get commitments from our vendors.
We encourage you to inform us of damaged items either via the TruScapes portal or by email. We are aware that TruScapes has a generic response they are using that informs residents they can't provide individual support and will be addressing that but you may continue to use the portal as it helps us track damaged items.
If a tree or plant that a resident planted has been damaged, it will be the responsibility of that resident to repair or replace it.
Residents may opt to hire vendors to restore their private property at their own expense. If anyone does so and the vendor is interested in helping more, please send me their contact information. Residents may also bag their own yard waste (small branches, leaves, moss) in containers, in bags or bundled and placed at the curb for pickup, on the opposite side of the driveway your household garbage is placed. Items that are bundled or in containers should not exceed 4 feet in length. Items that are in bags, containers or bundles should not exceed 40 pounds.
We are seeking volunteers to clean up small debris in common areas only as these areas are covered by HOA insurance. If interested, please email [email protected]
Other Damage
Other damage, including street signs, street lights, barriers, etc. are known and in-progress and will take time. Again, we ask for your continued patience.

Stormwater
Many residents are concerned about the water levels in our lakes and storm drains. After speaking with a county representative and our Eco-logic vendor who maintains our lakes, there is a large amount of flood water traveling East. Only time will allow for our water levels to recede. We did see some receding just within a few hours yesterday and will continue to monitor levels.
Waste Management
Sarasota County Government has announced that Waste Management will resume garbage and yard waste collection on Monday, October 3rd so Hammock Preserve will next be serviced on Wednesday, October 5. Recycling collection has been suspended until further notice.
Water Pressure
With water line breaks nearby, you may be experiencing lower water pressure until repairs are complete. Residents are advised to limit water use. There is NOT a boil water notice.
Water Intrusion
We recommend you first contact the Divosta Warranty department to see if your water intrusion is a warrantable item. Their phone number is 888-898-9712. Note, they may not be intercepting phone calls, and suggested all inquiries be emailed to [email protected].
Shutters
Please be sure you are removing your storm shutters if you haven't done so already. Per ACC guidelines, they are to be removed within 72 hours post-storm.
