A message from Steve Rideout of the Cambridge City Council

A message from Steve Rideout of the Cambridge City Council

Dear Readers:

Below is some information that I just received today from Pat Escher about community meetings that are going to be held with regard to the proposed rezoning of the Sailwinds Property and the Mill Street School Property, code enforcement, and the Pine Street Project. 

Please place these on your calendar and plan to attend, if possible, so that you can hear about the proposed changes and, hopefully, have an opportunity to ask some questions. There is a lot to learn, and it is important that the community be aware of all that is happening here in Cambridge.

Please feel free to share. See below.

Steve

Monday, October 29^th, 6:00 pm at Council Chambers

• Waterfront Properties – Explain the proposed Text Amendments to the Unified Development Code. The main change is to have the proposed development use the City’s Form Based Code as opposed to standard zoning. This will give the City and the developer more flexibility with their proposals.

Tuesday, October 30^th, 6:00 pm at Council Chambers

• Code Enforcement – Introduction of Susan Webb and an update on code enforcement in the City.

• Pine Street Revitalization – Discuss what the City is doing in the Pine Street Area.

• School House Property on Mill Street – discuss a proposed Text Amendment that would allow the property to redevelop with a previously approved multi-family development. This amendment would apply only to the school property.

Getting better all the time.

What is that guy doing up there?

Doug has been contracted to repair our decks.

We expect that deck edges will be sealed to prevent any continuing degradation with the next week, weather permitting.  This project has been a difficult one to get going.

We feel that this method will endure for several years. 

Full replacement of our balcony decks is quite expensive. The vinyl deck surface should last many more years. It is just the edges that needed sealing today.

Up there where the air is rarified, flying high.....

Working on 309, Say hello to Andy.

Before- Ugly, very ugly

Looking good! Nice work, Doug 

Future projects under consideration 
     (funding has not been approved by the Board of Directors)

• Hallway carpet cleaning, November 2018
• New Hallway Carpets, 2019
• Power washing and caulking of the exterior, Spring 2019
• Any other ideas?

Next Meeting of the Board: Saturday, November 10, 2018

Enjoy the view,

Gate Entry: Best Practices

Why do we have gates?

• Gates are there to limit traffic through our community
• Gates are there to keep non-residents out.
• Gates define Deep Harbour as private property

We need to get smarter. The general access code should not be given to non-residents. 

Start using the call box for visitors.   

Here's how it works, 

1. Look up your name in the directory, 
2. Note the "speed number" next to your name. write it down.
3. Now enter that number in the keypad. Your phone should ring.
4. When you receive the call, greet the visitor, then press 9.
5. If all is in place the gate will open.

• If your name is not in the box, call Sentry so that they can enter the information. 410-221-0398
• Yes, the phone number can be a cell phone or a landline.
• Yes, with a cell phone, you can be anywhere and open the gate.

In the future, it is the DHMA's objective to eliminate the general access code. 

We currently have multiple vehicles who use our property for a short-cut. Some enter to use our trash dumpsters. some have been known to park their cars for carpooling.

Comments? Suggestion? Want to get involved?

NOAA / NWS National Hurricane Center - Advisory #11

Subject: NOAA Hurricane Advisory

NOAA / NWS National Hurricane Center - Advisory #11

The National Hurricane Center has issued the following Advisory to include the Mid-Atlantic region.  At 5:00 a.m. today, Oct 9th, Hurricane Michael was a Cat  2 hurricane (winds of 96 – 110 mph) and was moving NNW toward the panhandle of Florida.  It is expected to be a  Cat 3 hurricane with sustained winds of at least 111 mph with gusts to 120 mph at time of landfall.  Michael is an extremely dangerous cyclonic system and will bring both heavy rainfall and winds in the affected areas.   

The cone of probability places the hurricane moving rapidly NNE toward the outer banks of North Carolina, late Wednesday, Oct 10th.  The cones center forecast places it over the Delmarva peninsula  Thursday morning, Oct 11^th.   The U.S. and European models appear to be in agreement with its expected path.  Winds and life-threatening storm surge may affect portions of the South Carolina coastline with tropical force winds between 65 – 73 mph.  The North Carolina and Virginia coastlines can also expect strong tropical force winds and heavy rainfall.  A Hurricane Warning and Storm Surge Advisory may be issued for the coastal sections of SC and NC .  The Mid-Atlantic region of VA and the Delmarva and estuaries may be affected by heavy rainfall and tropical force winds. The affected areas should begin to prepare for this event.  All boating interests should stay tuned to their local TV stations and NOAA Weather Radio for further updates.  Delmarva local interests should take necessary precautions to secure boats and remove any unsecured objects from becoming airborne.

SUMMARY:

Tropical force winds range between 39 - 73 mph and may include all coastal beach locations of  VA and MD.  Storm surge may affect coastal sections of SC / NC.    Flooding in these regions could take place.  These conditions will be accompanied by very heavy rainfall throughout the affected region of the warned areas.
