ACTIVATION OF THE LAWN LANTERNS Recently the MBOD approved revisions to the ARB Stipulations that will have an impact on front lawns, beds and the overall ambiance of the community.

Item 21. Light Fixtures indicates that “the front lamp post is optional, however, if installed must be operational (gas or electric) and that the lantern can remain white or must match the garage door light fixtures in color”.

The ARB stipulation only requires that the Lantern be FUNCTIONAL. The stipulation DOES NOT require homeowners to have the lamp on at any time.

Those few homeowners with active gas lanterns need not change. Conversion and activation of light posts will improve security, safety and ambiance, add value to the property and improve the nighttime appearance of the community.

For those who are not aware of the Lanterns history, the original gas lanterns fell dormant overtimedue to hurricane safety concerns, the fragility of the gas wicks, the cost of gas and the TECO Gas company fees to come out to turn the gas back on after a weather event.

Costs of conversion of the lamp will vary based on the condition of the post, the proximity of the post to an outdoor electric outlet, etc. Consult your electrician, plumber contractor for estimates.

Just imagine being able to take secure night walks with your families within your illuminated villages. It would be stunning! Let’s light up the community!

For those who want to visualize what the project may entail see : You Tube Video: Charm-Lite, DYI How to Video 12/26/2007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woh1j-QKQI

ARB (Architectural Review Board) Stipulations: Many homes are not in compliance with minimum ARB stipulations for front yard trees or the condition of the lawn and landscape beds.

The ARB requires that “the bed and lawn be maintained in a healthy, well - trimmed, free of weeds state at all times, creating an attractive appearance”. Dead grass and patches of dirt are unacceptable.

We urge all resident homeowners and owners of rental properties to make every effort to maintain your properties to minimum ARB standards. Attractive front yards maintain everyone’s property values and assure that you do not incur violation notices and incur penalties for failure to comply
