1 March 2017 TIDEWATER PLANTATION Community Association President s Message Cathy Weis, President Well, it is hard to believe, but it is almost spring! And so far, we have had a relatively mild winter along the coast of South Carolina, with just a few days here and there that have been too chilly. We have been very lucky to have days with temperatures into the seventies in both January and February, and soon that will be the norm as we get into spring. How lucky we are to live in such a beautiful area with such mild weather! In late January your TPCA Board of Directors, members from the TPCA management company, FirstService Residential (FSR), and some members of our Design Review Board (DRB) and the Natural Resource Committee (NRC) met with members of the management teams and boards from our six condo associations. Lighthouse Villas, Clubhouse Villas, Harbor Loft, Tidewater Ridge, Teal Lake Village and Heron Lake Villas were all represented. The purpose of the meeting was to improve communications between the master association, Tidewater Plantation Community Association (TPCA), and the sub associations to ensure that all parties are in agreement regarding property responsibilities such as inspections and notifications. It was a great first meeting with a considerable information exchange. We agreed to try to meet regularly, perhaps once a quarter. A major common concern heard from everyone at this meeting was speeding throughout the plantation. The speeding issue is not new and has been a major concern for over twenty years. As you probably know, many additional stop signs were added to slow the speeders. Often they are ignored. Speed humps, electronic speed signs and other deterrents have all been discussed over and over, but the best solution is for all What s Inside President s Message.... Page 1 Board Notes...

We have recently added an additional task to our Watchman service, asking them to warn visitors verbally about our speed limit when providing the visitor passes; and, we continue to caution our regular vendors and the golf course personnel. Many other private communities are experiencing the same issues with speeding. One such community complained vehemently about speeders and, when they started issuing citations costing speeders $75 and more, it turned out most of the violators were residents! We don t want to go there, so please adhere to our speed limit and stop signs. Cyclists and walkers should be aware of the rules of the road as well. Whether walking your dog, taking your daily exercise walk, just strolling around the neighborhood, or cycling throughout Tidewater, you should be aware of the laws applying to pedestrians and cyclists. According to the Department of Transportation: If a sidewalk is not provided, a pedestrian walking along and on a highway shall if possible walk on: (1) the left side of the roadway; or (2) the shoulder of the highway facing oncoming traffic. A person operating a bicycle, if moving slower than traffic, shall ride as near as practical to the right curb or edge of the roadway and are required to adhere to the same rules as drivers. Another suggestion for dog walkers is to be sure you have reflective clothing or a flashlight when walking your pets in the evening. Please do your part by obeying the speed limit and stop signs and the general rules of the road, and we will continue to warn vendors and visitors and remind everyone to obey the rules. I hope we will all agree that we don t want a serious accident to be the cause of additional deterrents that are undesirable. Hope you enjoy the warm days and welcome in spring with a smile.

3 Thanks to the groundhog, it has been predicted that we will have six (6) more weeks of winter weather. This is a reminder to turn off all outside water sources and also inside water sources if you are not using your home. Please keep your home heated to at least 60 degrees or more to protect all water sources inside. Another reminder is to be sure you update your water heater to prevent any unwanted breaks. It is recommended you replace your water heater when its warranty ends. You are required to complete a DRB application for any changes to the outside of your unit such as new windows. There are two steps for approval, first from the HL Board of Directors and a second approval from the Design Review Board. Please send your application to me at kswimm@omniproperty.com for Harbor Loft BOD review. Once approved then forward the approved document with their application to the DRB for approval.

The Clubhouse Villas Homeowners Association Managed by: Atalaya Property Management, Inc th Avenue South, North Myrtle Beach, SC Phone: Fax: Association Manager: Kendall Benjamin kbenjamin@atalayainc.com Administrative Coordinator: Sherry Mador admin@atalayainc.com Website address: Meeting Dates, to commence at 9 AM at the Cassels Building Annual Meeting on Monday, April 17th Board Meeting on Monday, April 17th, following the Annual Meeting We d like to introduce ourselves we re Al & Vicki Stahl, Unit 5332, and together with Chris & Lynn Allen, Unit 5532, we re your Clubhouse Villas Newsletter Committee. As full time owners, our objective is to provide neighborhood news from you and your board to everyone. We would also like to stir some interest in Clubhouse activities. The recreation organizer, Sue Crouch, immediately came up with the great idea of a block party this spring. We would like to hear from others interested in helping to set up such a fun event. Al & Vicki s contact information is: Al s Cell , alstahl45@gmail.com. Sherry Mador, Administrative Coordinator, and Atalaya Property Management, will keep you advised of actions discussed in your board meetings and pending projects. A Tip: For those unit owners who would like to save on their electric bills, consider changing out your light bulbs to LED light bulbs. The initial costs may be a little high, but over the long run they should almost pay for themselves.

March Is A Great Month To... Start planning for your summer vacation. Check out the Sunday travel section of the newspaper. Send for brochures of faraway places with strange sounding names. Maybe you re willing to save up for an extra special vacation next year, and make this the year you visit interesting places in your own hometown. Visitors to California get excited about the places we see every day and sometimes take for granted. Go on a money diet. Selfmade, wealthy Americans have a few self imposed rules in common: namely, they live below their means; they budget their spending; they have a disciplined investment plan; they take on debt very sparingly; they participate in serious tax sheltering; they get help from a professional financial advisor; and they own their own business. None of these things are possible without adhering to the first rule: live below your means. That will make possible the investing, avoidance of debt, sheltering of funds, the need for a financial advisor, and the ability to own a business. Make this your motto for the year: Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without. Report suspicious activity or persons to NMB (843) and Guardhouse (843)

4 Teal Lake Village Chelsa Fenner Spring is on its way! We are looking forward to the comfortable temperatures and beautiful scenery. We are in the process of sprucing up Teal Lake Village in hopes that the community will look better than ever. I wanted to remind everyone to stop at all stop signs throughout the community and obey the speed limit. We have seen many going through stop signs in Teal Lake Village, and owners who do not adhere to these rules are subject to a fine. Please report speeders and those running stop signs to management. Another reminder is to pick up after your pets and keep them on a leash when they are outdoors. We want to keep Teal Lake looking and smelling clean for all. If you are aware of an owner not picking up after their pet or letting them off a leash, please report the incident and unit to management so it can be addressed. We have noticed many piles around the property and we do not want this to continue. Please be respectful of others this is their property as well. The pest control for 2017 will be: Friday, May 5th; Friday, August 4th and Friday, November 3rd. Please mark your calendars accordingly. We are happy to see many of the larger trees gone now that the tree removal process has started. Please be aware that there may be some noise during the day. Again, if there are any maintenance concerns, please contact the management office so it can be arranged for Jeff to go by and inspect. As always, if anyone has any questions you can contact me at chelsa.fenner@fsresidential.com or Heron Lake Villas Chelsa Fenner I m happy to say that spring is on its way. We hope you enjoy the lovely scenery around Tidewater and the pleasant temperatures outside. If we have not yet started, we are planning to enclose the dumpsters in the near future. We are excited to get them shielded with rolling doors to eliminate an eyesore. For 2017 the pest control dates are: Friday, March 3rd; Friday, June 2nd; Friday, September 1st and Friday, December 1st. Please mark your calendars accordingly. If anyone has any questions or any maintenance concerns, please contact community manager, Chelsa Fenner at chelsa.fenner@fsresidential.com or Design Review Board Pam Rudge, Member-at-Large The upkeep of your property is extremely important in maintaining the property values and beautification of the Tidewater Plantation Community.

No black or red mulch is allowed. If replacing grass is on your agenda, Tidewater currently has two options, St. Augustine and Zoysia. Yard Waste Disposal. Please remember that yard waste is to be piled up on your lot only, or placed in the brown yard debris rollcart for pick up by the City of North Myrtle Beach. It is not to be placed on vacant lots, on Association Common Areas, or in the street. Any significant landscape change requires an application be made to the Design Review Board for approval.

Government Liaison Committee Ann Lippincott During the months of January and February, three members of the Government Liaison Committee, Nancy Stinger, Jody Harvey and Ann Lippincott, attended the Citizens Academy offered by the City of North Myrtle Beach. The program is an annual event open to all residents of NMB free of charge. The course is conducted over a six week period with sessions held once a week for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Members of the city s leadership team provide operational, statistical and financial information on the various city departments and services. Course participants tour city facilities such as city hall, the police station and jail, fire station, sanitation complex, sports complex, aquatics center, and water and sewer treatment facilities. Having participated in this informative program, we have garnered a much better understanding and appreciation for the magnitude of work coordinated and performed by the various city departments and services. Many services provided to residents and tourists (i.e., beach services, sports and park complex concessions, aquatics center) are self-sufficient and not supported by residents property taxes. Participants saw firsthand the enthusiasm, dedication and camaraderie among city employees, departments and services. All in all, it was a very rewarding experience and an excellent resource for city residents, especially anyone serving in community leadership roles for the facilitation of interaction with city officials. North Myrtle Beach News Bob Cavanaugh, Tidewater resident, and City Councilman NMB At the present time there is a lot of maintenance of infrastructure occurring in North Myrtle Beach. The city is burying underground power and all other cables in Cherry Grove and Crescent Beach to improve reliability. In Crescent Beach, it is being done as part of the road widening project. The dredging of the Cherry Grove channels is continuing and expected to be finished by May. We have been working hard with the Corp of Engineers about beach re nourishment. We have a slim hope for 2017, but it looks more like the 2018 summer season before we will see expanded beaches because of the significant changes going on at the federal level. RIDE3 was passed in Horry County by wide margin, so this county will continue to see at least some improvements in critical roadways as planned. Christmas in the Park What a great success this was, both in crowd approvals and financial issues. We are already planning improvements for next year, including even more lights and images. The financial success of this lights project and significant staff cost containments give early indications for a good NMB Budget Retreat at the end of February 2017 for the next fiscal year which starts in July. SC State and NMB The long term solution to our road problems still requires permanent funding for maintenance and expansion of our crumbling roads all over the state. It is amazing this has not been done! Hopefully with a new state administration and changes in the legislative leadership this year this could be the right time. Our initial proposal seeking about 50% funding for critical new infrastructure capital improvements to come from tourism instead of property taxes was posted in early February in the Legislature.

Many of her supplies and ideas are found during beachcombing with her grandchildren and sister. She loves to use shells, crystals, gemstones, freshwater pearls, beads, and even her own handmade pieces for her designs.

Osprey Update The 2nd Osprey Nest is ready for occupancy. Ridge Crouch and his team raised the nest 75 feet behind the 16th Green. Ospreys were critically endangered in the 1950 s and 1960 s due to the intensive use of DDT. As soon as DDT was banned, populations of ospreys recovered. Fish make up 99 percent of their diet. Osprey have two toes facing forward and two toes backwards to facilitate holding prey. Their talons are equipped with backward oriented scales that act as barbs to hold fish firmly. Osprey normally take fish weighing 5-14 oz. and inches in length. Their hunting success is reported to be in the 50 to 80 percent range.tidewater now has two registered nests; now we need breeding pairs to take up residency in our beautiful community.
