News & Announcements 

President Michael Flax has been in discussion with The Florida Department of Transportation on the request to have a marked crosswalk across A1A at Barefoot Place.

The FDOT representative will be observing and assessing the need for this crosswalk at the intersection of A1A and Barefoot Pl. tomorrow, Tues. March 3 from 1pm to 2 pm. If you would like a crosswalk there and are available, it would be very helpful to show up and show how dangerous the crossing can be, particularly with all the sand trucks going by.

Board member Steve Melchiori will be there representing the SIA Board.

Thanks in advance!!!

The SIA Board

Two new members have been approved by the SIA Board and added added to our family in the last two weeks.

David and Denise Kniess have purchased 1861  E. Barefoot Place from Amy Hanlon. David and Denise are from Robbinsville, North Carolina in the Great Smokey mountains and will be part time residents. They have indicated they want to make some additions to the house but will not be renting it when they are not in residence.

Frank and Daryl Wrobleski will be moving into Deb and Lee Anne’s former home at 1940 W. Shell Lane. They are coming from their retirement home of 17 years in Waterlakes Village in West Vero. They will be full time residents.

Please welcome these folks to our great little community.

The Board of Directors

1881 E. Barefoot Pl. will have renters from 1-20-26 to 3-20-26.

The E. Shell beach access stairs were repaired over the weekend by Dockside Builders and are ready to use.

The repair cost came in at under $4000. We approved up to $10,000 from the reserve fund at the annual meeting so we are well under that in cost.

Thanks to SIA Board member Steve Melchiori for spearheading the project and working with Dockside Builders to get it done.

Enjoy!!

The SIA Board of Directors

The E. Shell beach stair repairs will commence on Sat. 1-10-26. Please leave the caution tape in place until repairs are completed. The beach can be accessed on either E. Barefoot or E. Pebble Path.

Thanks – the Board of Directors
