Here's an interesting situation created by Management. At #29 ST where the Beautification Project is going on the Contractor has been allowed to park their Trailer (has material in it) on the street over the weekend. It has a few cones in front of it as a safety zone.
It is Illegal to park a loaded Truck and/or Trailer on a Public Street over night for convenience.
Uniform Traffic Code Manual requires at the very least Reflective Tri-Angle markers (at least 3) in both directions of a broken down or disabled piece of Equipment and in work zones during daylight hours.
It would not have been to terribly hard to have the Contractor move the trailer off the street to the Office Parking lot or a suitable area while work has halted .
Caps wont report this as a County Infraction because they don't know the Regulations involved with this sort of thing but the Manager surely should as she would be the one that Approved the improper staging of the Contractors Trailer.
Once again we see that Management breaks rules that directly impact the safety of our Community for the convenience of her pet Contractors and also Violates *Florida D.O.T. Regulatory Commission Rules.
* This Regulatory Commission actually exists unlike the Managers claim of a "Related Regulatory Commission" regarding the external painting of Water Tanks .

When was this Beautification project discussed with owners? When were plans produced and and estimated cost given to owners to approve? This is a NEW building on common property and, as such, requires owner approval (unlike just maintaining projects already built).
Was this another secret BOD email decision that bypassed owners entirely?
As usual, if anything is to be done to protect people walking, biking, jogging in SLR on our roads, it will be up to the owners themselves to call the county for protection.

I see that the Contractors trailer was promptly moved from the lane of traffic .

Was wondering when and why the police got called then said they couldn't get involved; and what this "story" is that you are talking about?
If you're talking about the Lake Wales Police Dept., they do NOT have any jurisdiction in SLR because SLR is outside of the city limits and one must call the Sheriff's Department for police protection/help.
If you call LWPD to come to SLR, they will tell you that their jurisdiction stops at the city limits sign and the Sheriff's Dept. takes over at that point.
There has never been any trouble getting the appropriate law enforcement to come in here, there has, however, been trouble with residents getting the appropriate course of action taken because the Sheriff's Deputies were lied to by the manager.
For instance, earlier this year, when asked who could have broken into the shed in the storage lot, the manager told the deputy that it was druggies looking for things to steal to buy drugs with.
Yeah, right.

Now I see that WE will be beautifying the lot next to Hxxxxxxxx house and across the street where the 2 lots have the Lake Drainage pipe.
Curious though that we never have money in the budget to correct the flooding in the Storage Lot where fees are collected for rented spaces .
The Priority List must have been made by a Dyslexic person.

Obviously, prioritizing extremely necessary projects in SLR for the BENEFIT OF RESIDENTS in here is NOT their priority, taking care of the sign should come last! behind fixing the drainage problems on silversides #8 & #10 as well as taking care of fixing the flooding problems in the storage lot for those that PAY for those spaces!

First, fix what's wrong INSIDE this community first, like the drainage issues on silversides, the storage lot problems, maybe hire a professional consultant to come in here & prioritize and do necessary projects that have been in DIRE need of repair &/or maintenance FIRST, since mgmt. can't seem to do what really needs to be done to get this community in a better state, maybe that's what would bring up property values, NOT a new sign; the sign on SR 60 can be fixed up a bit, without having to fully replace it, besides having a new, expensive, flashy sign isn't going to help when people drive in here and see vitally needed infrastructure has gone undone and fallen to the wayside, I mean, you don't put frosting on a rotten cake...

I just want a Vending Machine so I can get my M&M's. Maybe a Soda Vending Machine, Oh Hell, might as well add a Ice Cream Vending Machine. Just like in the Interstate Hwy Rest Stops. Have Full Service machines, just like the washers and dryers.
Leave the 2 lots vacant, just cut the grass. "Keep It Simple---Stupid"

Cross post from Board meetings October 2013
CJ motioned to accept The SLR Garden Club's donation of gazebo, bench, and minor landscaping, and to approve the funds to cover the cost of installing a brick paver walkway and patio by D & D K K for improvement of lot 29 S-bag Trail. AR seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
So, the birth of the improvment on SBT documented in Minutes.
First, any change in the use of common property must be approved by 3/4 affirmative vote of the owners per the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. BOD's job is to repair and replace existing infrastructure. BOD cannot vote for NEW structures without the vote of Owners.
Hellooooo...has anyone on the BOD read the Declaration?
It is totally irrelevant if funds were donated or not, or if they were funded from Operating or Reserves or cookie sales. The improvement was built illegally. The BOD's action was not in accordance with Covenants which state that lots can be released from restrictions with the consent of 3/4 affirmative vote of the owners.
But...it gets worse. This BOD action was directly in violation of the deed restrictions accepted by SLohA when Polk County deeded the two drainage lots back to SLohA. It reserved these lots as drainage easements and prohibited any structure, temporary or permanent, to be constructed on the property.
Helloooo...has anyone read the County Deed of Conveyance)?
Was this alteration permitted by Polk County? There was no Notice of Commencement recorded.
The Polk County Deed trumps the Covenants. In any case, this is a s****up.

Someone needs to address this issue at a BOD Meeting. O-Poo, Forget it, they do not go by any rules lately. What is Good for The Goose is Good for The Gander.....
Plus the dumb pole and chain fence at the Gazebo, is in the roads right of way by 2 ft. Plus it really does not add any thing to the e legal gazebo. You try to erect a fence 1 foot off of the pavement. Manager would be on you, like, well you know. S on S !!!!
