Clubhouse Renovation Plans
Clubhouse Doors to be Replaced
The Board approved a contract with Rist Construction on June 6, 2025 to replace the front and 3 back doors of the Clubhouse with fiberglass double doors and sidelights.. The work will begin soon, before the flooring and kitchen remodeling is done.
The Board previously approved a contract with Rist Construction for the Clubhouse Remodel, including the kitchen and main rooms (but not the doors). The plan is to close off the doors from the kitchen to the pool patio and also to the hallway. The current pass through window will be replaced with a 60" door opening with sliding "barn style" doors.
The next phase of the clubhouse remodel will be to renovate the bathrooms and fitness center. If anyone has design experience or suggestions, please contact a board member to be considered for the Phase 2 committee.
Lake 5 Shoreline Restoration Work Continues
Dragonfly Pond Works are beginning work on the northeast side of Lake 5. See the picture below for the areas noted by the white line where the work will be done in this phase. Homeowners are advised to ensure shoreline is not saturated by irrigation or downspouts during the initial phase. When the sod is laid homeowners will be informed about how to ensure adequate watering.

Hurricane Preparedness
We are in hurricane season and now is a good time to get your personal emergency plan in place. Sarasota County has a lot of resources at sarasota.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/emergency-preparedness-and-response/hurricanes.html. Below is a guide for families.

We all remember the destruction that Hurricane Debbie did to our area, especially Laurel Meadows. PV Archer received a letter that was sent to Sarasota County by the sarasota citizen action network and asked us to post, below.

The Laurel Lakes Library Committee
Recreational Facilities - Input Wanted
The Board approved a new Recreation & Fitness Committee and is looking for residents to give input into re-designing the courts to include a 2 permanent and 1 temporary pickleball court, a dedicated basketball area, and dedicated tennis court. We will also consider a potential children's play area and covered seating. The Committee also coordinates fitness classes and may host future events.
