This and That

1) Thank you to the residents who have been calling me to inform us about our irrigation (or lack thereof). we recently became aware of 2 major irrigation issues that have stymied our efforts to keep our common areas as attractive as possible. On the N end of the Blvd, we had a contactor burn out on our well pump. That has been fixed ($150). Just north of the tennis courts, our timer has been non-functioning. Unable to get power to the computer, Palm Harbor Electric has diagnosed a short in the main line feeding the computer. We will continue efforts to get power back and the irrigation on asap.

The warm weather is here and our pool is open from 8a - dusk. Please ensure any loose trash is bagged before throwing it in the large trash cans. We try to keep them as clean as possible so you can't smell them when you are enjoying the pool and deck.

With the return of more seasonal weather, the Board is going to begin re-focusing on making sure our lawns look the best they can. Remember, you do NOT need to have St. Augustine grass to meet the deed restrictions. Florida-friendly landscaping is fully embraced and accepted in our community - the Board has numerous contacts with organizations that can help you draft a plan and execute it. FL Friendly lawns needs little to no fertilization/pest control and by definition exist on our natural rainfall. Regardless of what avenue you select (St. Augustine, bahia, Fl-Friendly landscaping, etc) each homeowner is expected to maintain their property in a "neat and attractive" manner according to our deed restrictions. After all, the overall appearance of our community DIRECTLY affects your homes value.

As always, we're looking for volunteers to help us run this beautiful community. The donation of time is always free and everyone that helps makes us more of a "family".
