August 12, 2022 Our biggest expense of the year is paid during the month of August. Our liability insurance runs around $1500 a year. Third Quarter fees were due Jully 1.
July 31, 2022 Going into August 2022 we currently have one owner occupied unit, one vacant unit, and three units occupied by renters. Unit 100 is now in the name of one of the previous owner's daughters instead of both. We are currently seeking an inspection for all units to see how wide spread the carpenter ant problem is. Geoffrey is stepping back as a spokesperson for the HOA, but he will be continuing to perform routine tasks for us. If you have any issues or problems, please call or email the HOA directly instead of Geoffrey. Please see our contact link above for our phone number and email address.

May 2021
On May 18th an Orkin representative was here to quote us on termite treatment and prevention. The preliminary figure for dry-wood termite (wall injection) treatment of each unit was $1600 per unit, with a possibility of a discount if all five units decide to have the treatment done. This treatment would last for several years and an annual fee would be associated it with it. If we want subterranean termite preventative we will need to place deck posts on concrete instead of in the ground...also, mulch need to be moved away from the building.

BE ADVISED: daytime AND overnight street parking is allowed on both sides of Douglas Ave just across from Wildflower Inn.
FYI: When there is a Parking / Fire Lane violation we record the date, time and vehicle information. We also leave a warning notifying the driver that they will be towed at the owner’s expense if the vehicle remains in violation or is seen violating any no parking / fire lanes in the future.
FYI: We have two, unmarked, guest parking spots located along the Kinder Academy’s white fence (west side) between our fire hydrant and Unit 400. These are meant to be used by guests of owners and guests of renters.
Keep in Mind: our association documents are legal documents that are registered with the State of Florida and are binding on all owners, residents and guests. Our documents state that we all should be parking inside our garages and parking (non-permanently) in front of our garage doors.

Nominations and elections were held for officers of the board (see below).

The vote was unanimously in favor of contracting a towing company to enforce parking along the west side of the associations access lane with the agreement that property signage will be in place and all owners / residents will be provided proper notification before enforcement begins.
