Some people find the smell offensive and bothersome and cigarette butts are still found around pool grounds. We realize there are respectful smokers and then some not so much. We also are aware that some of our residents have allergies and asthma that are affected by cigarette smoke and others have small children and/or grandchildren that would prefer not being exposed to dangerous second hand smoke. Therefore, at this time, we are going smoke free at the Pool area, but may consider a smoking area in one end of the pool or just outside the fence. Please be patient while we research and consider the Smoking issues brought to our attention by non-smokers and smokers within our community. All of Virginia Beach hotels, restaurants and businesses and other public areas that are confined in some way are required to be smoke free. Even though we are a private community, we acknowledge the thought and research that went into this decision and the wisdom of protecting our community from this hazard in areas that are confined by walls or fencing.
No Smoking At The Pool Area
Notice to all residents…. The Board of Directors has decided to make the Pool a smoke free area inside the pool fence. We would like to apologize for not sending out this notification earlier before posting the signs.
Thank you again for bearing with us as we try to make the best choices for everyone and we will do a better job informing the neighborhood in the future with any changes.
