EC&R VIOLATIONS

If you notice a condition that is not in line with the EC&Rs, please notify our community manager by sending a Work Order.

Common EC&R Violations

EC&R Compliance issues: If you receive a letter regarding a violation, the first step is to respond. Immediate action can keep you from being fined.

  1. Keep vehicles off lawns – No parking on the grass, including along the pond.
  2. No overnight parking on the street. No Commercial Vehicles allowed overnight.
  3. Post lights or garage carriage lights must be present and on from dusk to dawn. If you’re a new owner and do not have a post light, you should install one. It’s your obligation per the community EC&Rs./li>
  4. The community has a posted speed limit of 25 MPH.
EMERGENCIES

Please call the Sarasota Sheriff at 941-316-1201 (non-emergency number) or 911 (emergencies only). DO NOT call our Board members. That is neither their job, nor their expertise.

PARKING

Article 3 Paragraph 6 of the EC&Rs states that there will be no parking on the street from 11PM — 6AM and no parking on the grass, even if it’s your own lawn. Some people are ignoring it and creating safety hazards. Therefore, the board will immediately assess fines of $100.00 per occurrence for violations. These will accrue to the homeowner responsible. Please park in your drive after 11PM and make sure that any guests do so as well.

SECURITY

E C & R’S REQUIRES ALL DWELLINGS TO HAVE EXTERIOR LIGHT ON FROM DAWN TO DUSK. EC&R’S Page 5 ARTICLE II, 8 (h) reads as follows:

All dwellings built after January 1, 2004, shall have a yard post light which shall be located four (4) feet off the driveway and fifteen (15)feet from the street line. Location of new or replacement yard post lights shall be uniform with existing yard post lights. Front yard post lights must be on from dusk to dawn for security purposes. Dwellings built prior to JANUARY 1, 2004 without a yard post light are required to have an exterior front entrance or garage light on from dusk to dawn. Any dwelling not required to have a yard light on the effective date of this amendment shall have a required yard light installed on the Lot on which such dwelling is located within six (6) months after a transfer of title to such Lot following the effective date of this restatement.

KEEP YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS SAFE & SECURE…TURN YOUR LIGHT ON!
