Dear Sanctuary at Bay Hill Owners:
The Board of Directors will be having a meeting on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 6:00pm. Important decisions need to be voted on for replacing roofs from barrel tiles to architectural shingles, repairing road deficiencies and our insurance renewal.
We have already replaced the roofs with barrel tiles in a terra cotta blend, but due to the infestation of squirrels in our community, the new tile roofs are being damaged by the squirrels chewing through the flashing and soffit, resulting in thousands of dollars in repairs, in addition to voiding some of the warranties due to the damage being caused by rodents.
We consulted with several roof companies and wildlife experts and have decided to try an architectural shingle in the same color scheme to see if we can prevent the squirrels from breaching the roof flashing. We have done one building in the shingle roof material and have attached pictures for you to see the complete look.
The Board now needs to make the following decision regarding the final 11 buildings:
— If we continue with the barrel tile, the estimated costs are around $140,000 (depending on the wood replacement underneath) for each building for tile roofs, which to finish the property will cost the association around $1,540,000.
— If the Board elects to finish the remaining 11 roofs with the shingles, it will cost the association around $685,000.
—If we replace the roofs with the same barrel tiles and try to get this done within the next 12 months, we will have to Special Assess each owner approximately $5,000 or we could increase our monthly HOA fees to cover the roof replacement for the remaining building in next year’s budget.
We are also dealing with severe road deficiencies that we are in the process of getting quotes on either lining the sewer and drainage pipes or using concrete filler to reinforce the joints that are leaking causing major road depressions throughout the community. Hopefully we will have some recommendations to review as well for the April 17th meeting.
Finally, our insurance renewal is up in May, hoping to have quotes on our Master policy as well.
Our Board of Directors have been working weekly ( sometimes daily) with the management to cut costs and explore all options to ensure we are making the best financial decisions for all of you, and I am quite proud of each of them. In today’s economy and with all that is going on with it, things are changing daily and we are trying to stay ahead of any major impacts.
I look forward to your feedback and hope you can attend our meeting.
Sincerely,
On Behalf of the Board of Directors
Lori Coolidge

New Trash Enclosures
Residents, you may notice that some of the doors are missing from the trash enclosures. This is temporary, and a part of our community beautification. The first doors were removed from the enclosure located by Sugar View and the new doors were reinstalled yesterday. Watch for new Trash Enclosures to be updated throughout the community.
