- What's up with the roofs? Is there FRT plywood in them? What does this mean?
- Fire-Retardant Treated (FRT) plywood is used in residences with common walls. Some of the chemicals used by manufacturers of this wood have resulted in premature deterioration of the wood. Some of the wood used in some of the roofs in Mariners Landing shows signs of such deterioration. Please read the letter to the community regarding this issue.
- Is there an annual meeting?
- The general membership meeting is held in May and a budget meeting is held late in the year to discuss our expenses, assessments, and reserve accounts. (Reserve accounts are set up to provide for replacements of community assets including sidewalks, paved areas, and water and sewer lines.)
