Friendly Property Reminder
-
NO STREET PARKING—Residents must park vehicles in garages and driveways. Emergency vehicles, school buses, and garbage trucks must be able to move unrestricted throughout the neighborhood. Trail streets were not designed to accommodate street parking. Vehicles parked in a manner impeding traffic flow are at risk for immediate towing, as are vehicles that have previously received parking violations or notices.
-
No commercial vehicle parking is allowed in the Trails neighborhood. All commercial vehicles are subject to towing between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. The towing company randomly drives through for inspections and will tow if a commercial vehicle is parked in the neighborhood during these hours. This excludes lightweight work vehicles. All work vehicles must be parked in the driveway, if not the work vehicle is subject to towing.
-
All Dog Owners, please make sure your dog is on a leash in the neighborhood. We would hate to see a confrontation between two dogs that causes a dog or person to get hurt. Please Clean up your dog's waste it is the state law.
-
All tree removals require ARC approval…living or dead.
-
Do not feed or confront the bears in the neighborhood. Please let the bears pass through the neighborhood freely without any confrontation for your safety, especially if you see cubs and momma bears. Momma Bear will protect her cubs. Please remember they run faster than humans.
-
SQUATTERS – Please keep a vigilant eye on neighboring vacant houses while they await rental or sale. This is when homes are prime targets for squatters. Once a person has gained entry to a home and claims they are the legal resident, it is a time consuming legal process to remove them. Florida statutes do not provide HOA’s a legal recourse for removing squatters. It is the sole responsibility of the owner to start eviction proceedings. So what can we do? Immediately report suspicious behavior to ASPD. Squatters will often case a property or break-in to gain access. This is the time to call the police, but never confront the person! Contact our property manager so the HOA can contact the owner. If you have questions or concerns about any property, please contact our property manager.
