Towing Signs
Many of you should have noticed the Dave’s Towing Signs now posted at all entrances.  In order to comply with our Rules and Regulations and Florida Statute 715, signs must be posted with specific verbiage at all entrances.   Just a reminder:  No unregistered motor vehicles, no motor vehicles with expired registration and no abandoned motor vehicles (whether or not currently registered) are permitted at any time in the community.  Any motor vehicle that remains unmoved for a period of fifteen (15) days or more may be treated by the Association as having been abandoned unless the owner thereof first notifies the Association in writing of the owner’s intent to leave the vehicle unmoved for a longer period of time and the Association consents in writing to such longer period of time.   Overnight parking is not allowed on common areas, at amenity buildings or post offices.   Residents needing extra parking space may contact Customer Service for a space at the RV Parking area.  All golf carts and motorized vehicles licensed for road use must stay on the designated cart paths, and roadways and shall not be driven in private yards, between villas (unless operated in ingress and egress areas) or homes, on sidewalks, and on any golf course unless playing golf.  Thank you for complying with the rules.

ATTENTION All Clubs and Groups – Guest Rules, Fees and Gate Notification
A guest is defined as anyone not having an authorized Resident or Guest Identification Card. Guests may attend events and meetings as long as the resident or club officer completes the appropriate paperwork and pays all applicable fees when due. Non-residents may not be members of clubs without written approval from management.

Guest notification must be provided to the gates for any performers or guests attending your scheduled events/meetings. The guest form may be completed at the Activities Office at the Health & Recreation Building. The Activities Office will notify the gates and provide the assigned gate with a pass for your guest(s)/performer(s). This information will be logged by the gate attendant and will be turned in monthly. Guest fees will apply to clubs based on the gate log. The guest fees will be determined as follows:

The Activities Office will send a monthly letter notifying the club of the number of guests and applicable fees. Payment within two weeks will be required to prevent any delays in guests attending future events.

Guest forms will be located in the same area where the Facility Request and Channel 17/22/703 forms are located at the Health and Recreation Facility. Please note: If the Activities Office does not receive your completed guest form, your guests/performers/speakers may be turned away. Guest notification is required two weeks prior to the event/meeting.
