Dear Landings fellow Residents and Landings Club Members,
As we get back to our homes and assess damage done to our properties, it is likely some residents have experienced tree damage from trees originating on Club or Association property. On behalf of the Boards of our Club and Association, we empathize and have compassion for anyone who has returned to such a situation. However, in the interest of fairness to all who own the community and Club, we are proactively communicating our shared position on this issue.
Typically, in cases involving extreme storm damage, if a tree falls on a person’s property, that tree becomes the responsibility of the affected homeowner up to their property line. The exposure we all share as owners of the Association and Club is tremendous in a case like this. The damage was not foreseeable and we urge you to contact your insurance company to get guidance on your individual situations.
We stress again that this is sent with great empathy but as stewards of our Community’s and Club’s assets, we must appeal to established legal precedent to guide us.
In addition, there may be trees on Association common property or Club property that you believe represent a potential hazard to your property. Please notify the Association or Club immediately if you believe that is the case so that we may inspect and address the situation as promptly as possible.
