CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE – Robert Wagner presented several Capital Improvement Committee beautification ideas/suggestions for the Boards review. First - to install a picnic area that would include new grills and picnic tables at the Vince Maida Park – playground area. Mr. Wagner expressed his concerns about the trees in that area that have above ground/exposed roots which are creating a safety issue. Another suggestion is to landscape the common area at the intersection of Shorewind Place and Sea Bass Drive. Irina Marcarelli also suggested improvement/renovation of Vince Maida Park with possible installation of a walking path and additional landscaping to provide shade areas and green area for children to play. The Board Members liked all the ideas presented and thanked the Committee Members. It was noted that the cost of each project will need to be determined in order to make a decision which of the presented ideas/projects will be approved first.
