May 28th Storm Damage & Immediate Action Plan

/

Dear Rimrock Owners,

 As many of you know, Rimrock Cove was hit by a severe wind and rainstorm on Thursday, May 28. The board spent Friday assessing the damage. 

This is an update for the community on the immediate priority issues being addressed by the board and park manager:

  • Beach Road Damage: The road to the beach was severely damaged by a large tree that fell. Garbage trucks and boat trailers could not pass the damaged road. Jeff dumped several loads of gravel into the depressed section right away for temporary access until the road can be repaired.

  • Fallen Tree (Lot 308): A large tree fell onto an owner’s property. It is tangled in a shed and hanging over the residence. Because it requires professional removal and coordination with the owner’s insurance the board is working with Rimrock Cove’s insurance company to resolve this safely.
    Homes and Structures: Luckily, there was very little damage to homes and structures. Owners who had visible damage have been contacted.

  • Hanging Branches and Unstable Trees: Multiple hanging limbs and partially uprooted trees pose a serious safety hazard. Jeff has marked the worst areas and contacted Basin Tree Service for assessment. The board has approved immediate work on these obvious safety hazards.

  • Orchard Clean-up: The orchard suffered severe tree damage and looked like a war zone. Jeff and Michael began cleanup efforts immediately and many park residents volunteered to clear the debris in the orchard and across the park. Huge thank you to everyone involved!

  • Delays in Tree Work: Due to widespread storm damage across the greater Moses Lake area, local tree services are heavily booked, meaning some community repairs may experience delays.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our community safe.
The Rimrock Cove Board

Proposed Office Landscaping

/

Attached is a concept drawing of the proposed landscaping for the office and manager's residence.  This working group spent much of the winter developing a practical plan, and researching plants and trees to create a welcoming entrance to the park. They did a beautiful job. 

The details are not finalized, and this drawing is not to scale.  We look forward to seeing this all take shape. A big thank you to the Community Space Working Group, David Hodge, Rex & Jenny Douglas, Nanc Tuttle, Mike Grosvenor & Ron Gopal.

Office and Managers Space Update

/

A huge thank you to all of our incredible volunteers who dedicated their time and energy Monday through Friday last week, contributing nearly 300 hours worked, to beautify the Office and Manager Space. Special thanks to: Bill and Pene Pennebaker, Randy Hill, Ray Hudlow, John Corgnati, Steve and Nanc Tuttle, Ned and Sarah Kautzman, Alan Good, Jeff Roessner and to all of the generous donors who made this possible.

The first phase is complete! This phase focused on building coverings and create some privacy for the manager’s residence. Thanks to the efforts of the team above this space looks amazing!

Next up we begin the planning and fundraising for phase two (click here to view), adding beautiful landscaping to create a warm and welcoming entrance to the park.
