Summer Things!

Weather permitting, the pool will be opened for use on Saturday, May 20. Please be mindful that the pool area within the fence will be closed each night at approximately 10 o’clock.
Gail Leppla, one of your Board Directors, has agreed to head the flower planting project around the clubhouse. If you would like to help Gail with this enjoyable task, please send an e-mail to: BoardOfDirectors@TwinlakesCondos.org and your communication will be forwarded to her.


Spring & Summer Projects around Twin Lakes

As we move into warmer weather a number of large-scale maintenance projects will be undertaken. All of these will keep our property looking its best as well as guaranteeing the physical integrity of the buildings themselves.
Roofs ~ Buildings 4975 & 4985 will be reroofed this summer. Although the Board had originally planned to reroof 4955 & 4965 as well, this project is being deferred to 2007 due to the unexpected costs incurred as a result of the fire sprinkler system upgrades and inspections.
Building repairs ~ Our incredible maintenance man, Randy Hellwig, has made a thorough examination of the 11 condo. buildings, the clubhouse, and the garages to determine needs for major/minor repairs. This project will be ongoing throughout the spring and summer and will include such things as siding & trim replacement, stairway landing stabilization and wood replacement, gutter repairs, minor painting work, &c. Also, small repairs have already been made to the garage roofs.
FYI ~ There is no painting of the stairway railings, &c., or porch/balcony/deck trim scheduled at this time.


New Lake Access!

Most of you have no doubt inspected and used the brand new raised walkway from Twin Lakes Rd. to the east lake. This wonderful addition to the lake area was constructed by the Boulder County Open Space Department as part of the upgrades to public accesses to the lakes themselves. This was an expensive project and was obviously carefully considered before any work began. Thanks to all of our Boulder County Open Space friends!


For your protection!

Although your Board of Directors cannot legally require it, we are again requesting that all owners/residents provide current contact information to our property managers and to a neighbor whom you trust. The need for this information was indeed made apparent in December & February when we experienced one emergency after another involving the fire sprinkler breaks. The Board advises you to provide the following:

  • telephone # and/or e-mail address if you plan to be away for an extended period of time
  • dates away
  • a key to your unit or the combination to your lock

Important reminders!

Your monthly HOA assessment (dues) must be paid by the 15th of each month in order to avoid those extra service charges. You might want to consider setting up auto pay with your bank. Check with our property managers for more information on this service.
Prior newsletters, a complete listing of all maintenance responsibilities (who pays for what), Rules & Regulations, Board of Directors and Management Co. information are some of the items you will find on the site. Any suggestions for other additions will be greatly appreciated.
