TOWER NEWSLETTER – SEPTEMBER 2021

Did you know your balcony isn’t exactly
yours? Your balcony is considered Common Area - for exclusive use. That
means your balcony is sort of leant to you, and there are 16 rules about
what you cannot do to it. Here are some of the key rules:
Your balcony “cannot
be redecorated, renovated or remodeled.”
Tiling your
balcony or painting it an alternative color or swapping out the sconce light is
a no-no. Having a rug that could be damp and could hide a hole or crack in the
concrete is not permitted. Drilling holes for hanging plants falls under this
category because your balcony is vulnerable to water intrusion. If water gets
in through even a tiny hole and makes its way to the rebar, it will rust that
rebar. Rusted rebar will compromise and crack the concrete and possibly weaken
the balcony. This is why we also ask you to please, please have plastic saucers
under every plant (available at Green Gardens right next door). Your HOA has
spent and continues to spend big bucks to keep your concrete balcony in tip top,
safe condition. We need your cooperation.
No signs, banners
or flags can be affixed to your balcony.
Patio furniture
only is permitted.
No storage is
allowed.
No clotheslines or
drying of laundry.
No BBQ or cooking.
Railing: Nothing
may be attached except a windbreak of clear 1/8” plexiglass (no higher than the
railing) or chain-link fencing that is the same as the chain link on the
cat-walk. All other barriers such as chicken wire are not permitted.
Smoking: not
permitted.

HOA MEETINGS
Pacific Tower Homeowner’s Association has a
monthly meeting, usually the third Tuesday of every month and if you are an
owner, you’re invited! Meet your Board
and neighbors. Find out where your $540 is going. We’d love to have you! If you
get bored, you’re welcome to leave – no pressure.
Since the pandemic, we’ve held our meetings
on Zoom instead of gathering in- person in the Rec Room and many owners have
taken advantage of participating virtually from the comfort of their units. Pajamas
are permitted if not too sexy.
At the beginning of each meeting, homeowners
are invited to ask questions of the Board, raise issues or lodge complaints for
five minutes per person.
If you have a computer and would like to get
a Zoom invitation for the next meeting, please email Keisha@phoac.com. If you don’t have a computer, you can still
join the meeting by phone. Meeting announcement posted in the Lobby 4 days
before the meeting gives the Zoom Meeting phone number so you can join
by phone.
With apologies to Bed, Bath and Beyond, but
please don’t have a doormat in front of your door. Maintenance needs to either
mop or vacuum there and your doormat and/or your shoes are in the way. Please
have nothing in front of your door. Thank you.
BOARD OFFICERS
President – Mark Cabaj, Vice President -
Karyl Miller, Secretary – Julie Menas, Treasurer – Anthony Mariucci, Directors –
Troy Krich, George Kyrala, and Robin Del Pape.

Covid
Updates and Rules
As of this writing no one in the building has
caught Covid. Yay! But Delta is in the air. Everyone is asked to be careful. It
ain’t over till it’s over. Social distance is still a good thing and so are
masks. At least have a mask at the ready. Thank you.
