Garbage
We don’t have a problem with neighbors throwing
garbage or yard waste onto their neighbor’s property, but throwing it
in the water yields the same result! Several members have complained
about the amounts of food-generated garbage and yard waste washing up
on their beaches.
According to Mason County Motorboat Ordinance No
83-88, it is unlawful to dump or throw any oil, garbage, ashes, brush,
roots, lawn trimmings, etc. (there’s a long list) in or upon navigable
water or on the shores so that by any means the item or substance may
be washed into the water. This is called dumping debris and a person
can be cited and fined for this offense.
Please be considerate of your neighbors, the
environment, and the boaters, water skiers, etc. when disposing of
your trash.
Speaking of trash....litter on the float at the dock
facility is beginning to be a problem. Please take your trash with you
when you leave the facility.
Animal Control
For many years, roaming dogs were a constant problem
here on the island. There are always exceptions, but in general, we
seem to have solved that problem. On behalf of all the neighbors who
had to deal with the loose dogs, we thank everyone who confines their
pet to their own property and walks them on a leash. And we thank
everyone who makes sure their guests do the same!
Another dog-related issue that is not solved is the
considerable amount of excrement on the roadsides. Not only does this
create an unhealthy condition for both people and their pets, it has
also been noted as a possible factor in the increasing number of rat
sightings. Mowing and weedeating our roadsides should not be such a
disgusting job! PLEASE pay closer attention to cleaning up after your
pets and be sure your guests do the same.
Non-residents are often seen walking around the
island with their dogs. Most of them honor our leash law, but do they
clean up after their pets? It is only with everybody’s help that we
can solve this problem. If you see someone walking their pet and
leaving us a gift, say something to them!
Parking
Parking on the road shoulders is not permitted!
During the summer months this isn’t always possible. To allow enough
room for emergency vehicles to get through, instruct guests to park on
one side of the roadway only. Members are encouraged to use the upper
dock area to park their empty boat trailers while their boat is in
use.
