It’s a sad day to report that Pete mansour has decided to resign his position
as Architectural Chairperson. However, he will remain on the Board as
Office Coordinator.
This action was precipitated by an unfortunate incident last week
where a resident threatened physical violence against him. It was so
unnerving that Pete and his wife spent the night at their daughter’s
home for fear of what might happen should the threats become real.
This is unacceptable.
To this end, I have requested a Special Meeting on Monday Dec 21 at 7p
for the purposes of accepting Pete’s resignation but also discussing
options with the Board concerning Architectural issues and deed
restriction enforcement going forward. I don’t think any one of us can
fully realize the immense vacancy this has created but it is up to the
Board to come to a resolution on how we will meet the
demands of our Bylaws.

December musings
A representative of the Pinellas County Extension has asked me to request residents SKIP A WEEK of lawn-watering while winter is here. Watering on a weekly basis is not essential during the winter months.
I wanted to take a moment and thank the homeowners who have planted winter rye in their yards. YOUR ACTIONS HAVE NOT GONE UNNOTICED AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS! If you are having problems managing your lawn (St. Augustine especially) summer and winter rye are great grasses to keep your yard aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Please also remember that the Pinellas County Extension Service has a plethora of information concerning Florida-Friendly Native Landscaping, which is drought tolerant and requires much less maintenance, money, and time to maintain.
Speaking of, keep an eye out for our Lawn & Landscaping Town Hall. The Board hears many comments on the lawn deed restrictions (pro and con) and yours truly received 2 lawn letters WHILE I WAS ON THE BOARD no less! If you get a letter, it’s hardly the end of the world…there are a couple of ways to address the issue. We’ll discuss the matter in depth and we’re also planning on having a County Extension employee give a presentation on the Florida-Friendly Native Landscaping initiative.
