Breaking Down Boxes & No Plastics in Recycling Bin When discarding boxes in the recycling bins, please be sure to break down the boxes first as they take up a lot of room and can lead to overage charges. In addition, please refrain from discarding film plastic products in the recycling bin. Film plastics include all plastic bags, bubble wrap, padded mailing envelopes, packing pillows, pet food bags, and dry-cleaning bags. Film plastics can be taken to local grocery stores for proper recycling.

Architectural Applications

If you are thinking about making a change in your unit that would require architectural committee review and approval, please plan well in advance. Per the Architectural Guidelines, the Committee is allotted 30-45 days for review.  It is also recommended to wait before setting a schedule with your contractor until an approval has been awarded.

Holiday Mingle – Thank You Message

Thank you to everyone that was able to attend the Holiday Mingle and thank you to The Social Committee for organizing the event. If you have any photos of the event that you would like to share with other Residents, please send them to Management and they will be added to the Resident Portal.

Contact Information

In the event you change your email address or phone number, please remember to advise management.  This allows us to continue to communicate important reminders to you!

Moves/Deliveries

All moves and deliveries must be scheduled with Management at least a week in advance. A general rule of thumb is if it takes more than one person to move it, then a move must be scheduled.  The reason is simply to protect the building from sustaining damage during a move.  Please be advised that if you are found to have had an unscheduled move or delivery, you will be subject to hearing and fine.  If you are unsure of the scope of your move or would like to schedule a move, please contact the General Manager. 

Holiday & Mingle Event

The long-awaited Alicante Holiday Party is back this year! The Social Committee is hosting the Holiday Party on Sunday, December 3^rd in the Alicante Community Room and Lobby. See enclosed flyer for details. Be sure to RSVP by November 30^th.

The Board of Directors recently approved the new 2023-2024 Budget to start on December 1, 2023. The Budget Mailer was sent out via regular mail and/or email. It can also be found on the Resident Portal.

Access Control Upgrade Coming Soon

Management is expected to receive the new Fobs and RFID stickers next week and will begin programming fobs and RFID stickers. Each unit will receive two new fobs and one RFID per parking space. Additional Fobs and RFID stickers will be available for purchase for $10.00 each after all fobs and stickers have been distributed. Management will provide another update next week with tentative programing and fob/sticker pick up dates.

Bike Registration Deadline

We are extending the Bike Registration Deadline to Monday, November 27^th. Any bikes that have not been registered with Management by the 27^th will be removed from the Bike Room and held for one month. If not claimed after that month, the bikes will be donated.
