Christmas lights and Decorations The community rules state that Holiday decorations and lights are required to be removed by January 15th. Mailbox lights need to be lit and white in color by this date as well. The Community Association Manager will be conducting a mailbox light inspection in January and your cooperation will be appreciated. As of printing there were still some homes which had not removed their Christmas lights and decorations. We encourage all those homeowners to please finally take down their holiday lights and conform to the HOA requirements. Tips from TPD After the holidays many people received new valuables. Document all serial and model numbers of your valuables on Operation Inventory forms. These forms are available online at www.tampagov.net/police or through the Districts Crime Prevention Unit. Operation Inventory is a citizen's property recovery program. It promotes recording information about your belongings to aid law enforcement in recovery should it ever be stolen. Store this information in a safe place. School Bus Safety School has recommenced, so please remember, that it is required by law that you stop for school busses when they are stopped picking up children in our neighborhood. It is against the law to not stop your vehicle for a school bus. Our school buses carry precious cargo – our children. Our residents should always be alert and drive with caution around school buses and bus stops. Children, especially younger kids and ones on bikes, can make sudden unpredictable moves. DRIVE SLOW. Parents should also go over safety tips with their children to make sure they are safe on and around school buses and bus stops. There is nothing worth rushing over that could result in the death of your child, or your neighbor’s child. Drive Slow, and be cautious around bus stops and school busses. Drive safe everyone! Drivers swerving around school busses and driving erratically around school busses and bus stops will be reported to the police! Dog Poop is out of control. We have mentioned this issue in past newsletters, however it continues to be an ongoing and uncomfortable issue, to the point where it is out of control. No matter how many times we talk about this matter there are still homeowners who refuse to pick up the waste of their pets. Even worse some pet owners have picked up the waste only to drop it on the sidewalk. Many of our children play in areas where there is pet waste. The CDD has placed some signs around the community, and is even planning to install waste stations. However signage alone won’t alleviate the problem. It is the responsibility of each pet owner to show common courtesy to the rest of his neighbors by cleaning up after his pet. It is not only a condition within the HOA Covenants it is a crime not to pick up after your pet in the City of Tampa. If you see someone who doesn’t pick after his pet please notify the HOA or TPD. This is your community and we all have to pitch in to make it safe and clean. The HOA will make it a point to fine pet owners who do not clean up after their pets.

CDD February 2019 Update

The CDD board and our legal counsel have been working with the city of Tampa to modify our gate agreement. The initial meeting took place back in October to discuss what could been done to modify our existing agreement to fit our needs. Several drafts with these changes have been presented to the city and we are awaiting their response. The process has taken longer than we anticipated and we are hopeful to get these changes done soon.

New wind screens and tennis nets have been installed. We are looking into having new lines installed and improving the drainage on the courts.

The pool slide resurfacing was completed. The entire surface was sanded down and repainted. The waterfall on the kiddie pool was also repainted.

This time of year our mowing cycles have been adjusted and will not be mowed as much as in the summer months. Our landscape company will be working on lifting the canopies of the common area trees. Just a reminder that if you bring a guest to use any of the CDD amenities that you must remain with your guest during their visit. Signing them in and then leaving is not permitted.

The golf course is extremely busy this time of year. If you are interested in playing or have guest in from out of town, tee times can be made two weeks in advance.
