I was asked to post this for an owner:
Owner: Here is a letter I took from my mailbox today:
Attachment Deleted
OPEN LETTER TO:
UNKNOWN SENDER @s-bag LAKE OWNERS ASSOCIATION
This letter sH all be delivered similarly to the one just received by and addressed to UNIDENTIFIED DEAR OWNER. This is due to the fact that the envelope had NO RETURN ADDRESS--and--the poorly-copied SLohA letterhead also had NO RETURN OFFICE ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER!
The letter sender was also UNIDENTIFIED and the letter was UNSIGNED.
The letter represented itself as legitimate violation notice to OWNER; however, it is highly unlikely that the meager and false content would stand up to the due process of “proper notice”. It was not Certified or Registered Mail as is customarily required.
Additionally, most owners are aware that SLohA correspondence is posted using a poSt age metering machine and this letter had a stamp and was mailed from Tampa.
Curiously, there appeared to be a faint, dark horizontal line visible across the page immediately below the S-bag logo. It appears that a second letter on original stationery might have been covered up by a straight edge in order to produce a “clean copied “ letterhead.
I have no idea who is representing SLohA by sending out this extremely unprofessional FORGED correspondence! Why do I say “Forged”? Because even this CAM would not produce such a shabby work product and expect to remain employed!
The letter purported to assert some ANTIQUATED JURISDICTION over my lawful use of my private property, citing three (3) “Rules” which I recall have expired, along with the Covenants on my UNIDENTIFIED property, years ago. My property is currently unencumbered with SLohA Rules & Regulations; which fact was acknowledged by the SLohA Board of Directors meeting on Dec 17, 2014. At that meeting, it was announced that SLohA Covenants Organizing Committee would begin the revitalization process. (The writer needs educate him/herself to understand that, during the revitalization process, ALL Covenants and ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS are null and void.)
Notwithstanding the above condition, the writer's assertions of violations are further degraded by the fact that they are 42 years old, vaguely-worded and once were applicable to a campground and recreational vehicles.
The writer also needs to educate him/herself to the fact that no Polk County Code Ordinances have been violated, as per my discussion with LT Ruiz at the Polk County Fire Dept. on today’s date. Lt Ruiz confirmed what I already knew to be true; i.e. there is no law against storing firewood on your private property. There are only two cautions applicable to the BURNING of said firewood:
1. A water hose for extinguishment of fire must be on the property and nearby,
2. A lid, mesh screen or fabric screen should be available to contain embers which may be up drafted and carried aloft during burning. This is not required for a fire pit, but only for a standing firebox.
Lt Ruiz assured me that I was following all Polk County ordinances with regard to the storage and burning of firewood on my private property and thanked me for my interest in learning about and complying with Polk County Fire Ordinance.
I hope this OPEN LETTER will find its way to the letter writer of the spurious and falsely constructed correspondence and, finding its way, help the confused author to clarify the relationships between SLohA, Polk County, and its private property owners.
This correspondence will be forwarded to the Board as Official Correspondence to validate "ownership" of the content. It is quite serious for unknown persons to falsely represent themself as an agent of SLohA, if that is indeed the case here.
