SEAVIEW Community GUIDELINESWelcome back to Seaview 2012
When you get out to Seaview, take a walk over and take a look at our new bay beach and baby pool.
As we prepare to return to Seaview for a new summer season,
we want to share with you what has been happening in Seaview while you have been away.
The Bay Beach Project has been moving along at an excellent pace. The spectacular winter weather we experienced was a gift for all our contractors, helping them get their work done, and having the necessary equipment and supplies delivered on time. Not having to work on frozen bay front tundra from December until March was also a plus!

The handicapped lift was installed yesterday and is now working at the Bay Beach(2nd row pics). . . .
This winter’s Street Repaving Project was completed in record time this year. We were able to complete Ivy Walk between Neptune and the ocean, and Juniper Walk from Baywalk to the ocean. Thompson between Ivy and Juniper was also re-paved. Ivy and Juniper are the first two streets in Seaview to be completely redone with pavers from bay to ocean.
The Boat Basin Project, with our Seaview staff doing all the work, has also been going well. Construction has been continuing on the north side of the basin. The applications for slips went out already, so any Seaview resident
who would like one for this coming summer should contact us immediately.

The Seaview staff has spent the last several weeks breaking up the old sidewalk, getting all the debris removed, arranging for concrete transit trucks to be barged over to the island, and then getting all the new concrete poured.
Some of the other upgrades you will notice:
- New snow fencing on our entire beach.
- A new bike rack by the wagon park for short term parking of our resident’s bikes.
- New protective safety netting between our tennis courts and the ball field.
By the way, because historically we have never had a piping plover nest on our beach, there will be no piping plover fencing on Seaview’s beach this year (unless the birds are spotted nesting in Seaview).
The Seaview Market is now open for those who decide to venture out for an early season weekend,
or just a day trip to the island.
The Seaview Community Fund should be commended by all for their support of our community, and for supporting projects such as the Bay Beach Renovation and helping to maintain our doctor’s office.
The Community Fund will be having their annual “Welcome Back to Seaview” dinner on Saturday May 19th at Bocce Restaurant. Please reserve early as this popular gathering has sold out in past years. Watch for the formal announcement.

SIDEWALK RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
The re-paving work on Ivy Walk from Neptune to the ocean has now been completed.
As one of the Seaview walks most in need of repair and elevation to prevent years of chronic flooding and serious safety concerns, Ivy also has the distinction of being the first walk to be completely renovated from the bay to the ocean.

The Seaview staff and our paving contractor are now working their way from Ivy Walk east along Thompson (see photo below).
As Larry and the Seaview crew brought in fill and graded Juniper Walk in preparation for re-paving, it was determined that Juniper was much lower than previously thought. In some places, the walk will have to be raised as much as 16” to 18” to mitigate the serious flooding conditions. See picture below of Juniper after a rainstorm.

The Community of Seaview on Fire Island
Seaview is a family-oriented seasonal community of approximately 360 homes, located in the central portion of Fire Island between the Village of Ocean Beach and the unincorporated Brookhaven Town hamlet of Ocean Bay Park. Of these homes, 290 are located in Islip Township, and the remainder are in the Brookhaven section of our community (The dividing line between the two Townships on Fire Island runs north to south along Ivy Walk in Seaview.)
Most residents use their homes as week-end and vacation havens during the months of April to November, and do not come to the Island during the cold winter season. We do, however, have an increasing number of retirees who live on the Island for the entire summer, and there are also 4 or 5 Seaview families who reside on the Island year round. Summer and year round residents alike are deeply attached to the Island, and third generation Seaview families are very common. Many extended families also own more than one house, as children and grand-children grow up and come back to enjoy Seaview summers with their own families.
The Seaview Association, an incorporated not-for-profit Homeowners Association (501 C-4), owns and/ or maintains the community’s sidewalks, bay and ocean beaches, a children’s playground and wading pool, six tennis courts, a ball field, a community house and doctor’s office, the Serber Memorial Park, and other common areas. The Association also purchased the 60-slip Seaview boat basin in June 2006.
