If you have a question you think would be of general interest, please
email the Board. We'll attempt to post as many questions and
answers as space permits.
More information is available About the CSD.
Does the CSD maintain the landscaping at the Bungalows, Lodge, Sales
Center and Fitness Center?
No, those areas are maintained by Castle & Cooke, which has
contracted with Frog Hollow for that work. CSD property includes
Saddle Creek roads, storm drains, wildlife and wetlands easements and
any landscaping not part of the Facilities maintained by Castle & Cooke.
Can Castle & Cook build a footbridge over the wetland areas on Hole
9
or other holes?
Although we don’t know if Castle & Cooke has any plans to any
bridges, after our initial review of the wetlands permits it does not
appear that they prohibit a bridge from being built over wetland areas.
A more thorough review would be necessary, should Castle & Cooke decide
to build a bridge — and of course, the bridge would have to be built in
a way as to not impact the wetlands.
What do the Environmentally Sensitive signs mean?
The Army Corps of Engineers has designated certain wetland areas as
environmentally sensitive. These areas are clearly marked and are not
to be entered, unless specifically authorized by the CSD Board - even
to retrieve golf balls! Please help us prevent being required to put
fences around these areas by obeying the green and white signs.
Who is responsible for maintaining the ponds at Saddle Creek?
Although the ponds and wetlands
are technically CSD property and part of the community storm drain
system, they are also an integral part of the golf course irrigation.
Castle & Cooke maintains the ponds and wetlands, under the oversight
of the CSD.
What is the brown/green stuff on the ponds?
Duckweed growth is caused by fertilizers and nutrients draining
into the wetlands and ponds from the golf course. While it may not be
esthetically pleasing, it is not harmful to the pond or wildlife, and
generally disappears during the winter months due to increased water
flow. Along with Castle & Cooke, we are looking for ways to control
the duckweed year round, without harming the environment.
