Community Updates & Reminders

BY DOUG GILBERT, LCAM, COMMUNITY MANAGER

ell, 2018 is here and moving fast. I thought since it was early in the year I would talk about some of the larger projects we have planned (or in the process) for both the Club and our common areas.

Sidewalk grinding has begun in the Isles of Bellalago Community and will move to the Bellalago Community soon after.

We initially replaced a few rotten boards on the pier, leading up to the gazebo; however, upon further inspection more was found.

All boards that showed any traces of rot were replaced as well as making sure all the others were secured. The entire pier will also be repainted and will be brushed and rinsed weekly.

There are several fountains in Isles of Bellalago that are waiting for repair. Pumps are being rebuilt and once they are ready, installation and repairs will begin.

All hinges on the walk-in gates throughout the community have been replaced. Most of these gates had to be reinforced and strengthened. Gates are not able to close on their own.

As the Association continues to grow, you will see changes, including vendors, management processes, and team members, just to name a few. Vital Security has replaced the previous security vendor and there’s also been a change in our pool maintenance 2

vendor. While there will be a “get to know the community� period, we are confident that this partnership will be successful.

To everyone who I have met and who have expressed comments and concerns, I appreciate your feedback and have made notes and initiated service requests. My expectation in the future is to continue with open communication towards a successful community.

Thank you also to the residents for all the compliments towards our amazing Lifestyles Team, as we strive to continue making your community an enjoyable place to live. I am proud to mention our new Lead Maintenance Tech, Oscar Rivera. Oscar brings with him a strong expertise in maintenance and has a wealth of knowledge and problem-solving skills. I also would like to recognize Amy Mallinder, our Lifestyles Director.

Thank you to all our residents for acknowledging all that the team does, from Lifestyles to Maintenance. Our focus for the next quarter is to continue bringing you fun and exciting events. Also, when it comes to the upkeep of the community, there will be more pressure washing, maintaining the common areas and the facilities, and holding our community vendors accountable for repairing and performing work properly in this community.

Communication is Key With such active intentions, knowing what’s going on around you is important. Starting this spring, we hope to make that information easier for you as residents to access without it being overbearing.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that when someone sees the Bellalago and Isles of Bellalago email address pop up, they automatically delete it. At a certain point, being buried in emails starts hindering the effectiveness of that form of communication.

As of March, all HOA and Lifestyles driven email “blasts” will be compiled the week after sending and posted on the community website. How will this help? We are hoping there will be no more “I didn’t get that email.” Everything will be in one consistently accessible place. Communication will be clear, with no more digging through 20 other emails to find the one you actually want to read!

Golf Cart Etiquette How fun is driving your golf cart all around the community? What a great way to travel to the clubhouse, a friend’s house, or just look at all the beautiful nature in the neighborhood! Just remember to be careful.

First, it’s important to distinguish between a low-speed vehicle (LSV) and a golf cart. LSVs are any four-wheeled vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 mph, but less than 25 mph. These vehicles must comply with federal safety standards. While they look like golf carts, they have safety equipment (headlights, turn signals, mirrors, etc.) that make them safer on the roads. There is a Florida Statute that governs their use - FS 316.2122. Your LSV must be registered and have proper insurance in order for it to be “street legal” on

roads that have a speed limit of 35 mph or less, and a valid driver license is required to operate them. Please follow the rules of the road and obey traffic signs to keep you and your neighbors safe!

Golf carts, while not “street legal” still fall under the rules of traffic safety and the driver can be ticketed for traffic offenses and DUI, just like an LSV. Please use common sense when operating either type of vehicle. Stop at posted Stop Signs, yield for pedestrians, and obey the rules of the road. Let’s keep the community safe and incident free!

Fishing in Bellalago Lakes and Ponds The ponds and lakes in Bellalago are “retention ponds.” The water in these lakes is run-off that comes from stormwater and street water that is sent through a system of street storm drains, and a network of underground pipes. The pond water also comes from surface water from the property around the ponds. This includes fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. Recently there was a sewer leak into our main lake. Due to these pollutants, you should never eat any fish from our lake and ponds. This is one of the reasons keeping fish caught on our lakes is against the community rules. DO NOT EAT from our lakes and ponds. Catch and release only!

SLOW DOWN!

Speed Enforcement in Bellalago The HOA, Security, and the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office receives multiple complaints of speeding each week from residents. The Sheriff’s Office has been asked for their assistance in speed enforcement. Receiving a speeding ticket is not only financially costly, but can lead to much more serious results.

Here are some quick facts on speeding: A driver is six times more likely to have an accident when traveling at 25% above the posted speed limit. Speeding reduces the amount of available time to avoid a crash and increases the severity of a crash once it occurs. Speed is a choice over which the driver has complete control. Please adhere to the community Speed Limit of 25 M.P.H. Remember, there are children at play in our community.

Saturday & Sunday

Like the board, committees are managed by volunteers from your community. But, how do you find committee members when filling board positions is already a challenge? It begins with the personal awareness of each homeowner. Whether you’re currently able to participate or not, everyone can encourage someone to use their talents and skills to the betterment of all. As an owner, neighbor and person of talent yourself, watch for opportunities to tap the shoulder of someone in your community and invite him or her to help out by accompanying you to the next meeting.

Love Is In the Air!

BY JOE MURPHY DIRECTOR OF SECURITY & SAFETY

Mating season for alligators occurs from mid-April through May, and courting will start much sooner. To attract females, males display by head-slapping the water and producing a deep rumbling bellow. Once a male-female pair is formed, they will swim together, touch each other’s snouts, and blow bubbles. Mating takes place in the water and when completed, the male disperses and the female is left to search for a place to build her nest.

Female alligators construct nests by mounding up vegetation, sticks, leaves, and mud in a sheltered spot in or near water. Females use their whole bodies during nest construction—body and tail to clear an area, jaws to gather and drag vegetation, and hind legs to dig the hole in the mound for the eggs. After completing the nest, the female will deposit all of her eggs (ranging between 20 and 50) at once and cover them up with more vegetation for incubation. She may move vegetation around to keep the eggs at a fairly constant temperature. Females stay near the nest during incubation and actively defend it from predators like raccoons. Females may also be aggressive toward humans, often hissing and charging at intruders, so alligator nests should never be approached.

During this time alligators will be on the move and more aggressive, for the reason of breeding. Please give them a wide berth and respect their territory during this time.

Let’s Keep in Touch!

BY SALLY BJERNESTAD, HOA COMPLIANCE/ARC COORDINATOR

I

would like to thank all homeowners that have communicated with me via email and phone regarding the Architectural Review process and violation notices. Communication is such an integral part of building stronger relationships and helps to eliminate confusion. I am grateful to be able to provide assistance to all homeowners to better understand the Design Guidelines.

paint swatches marked with the location for each color for review.

Additionally, you will need to provide us with photos of your immediate neighbors’ homes to your left and right to make sure that the colors are not the same. On the ARC application, you need the exterior paint color names and codes for the following locations: Body of the House, Garage Door, Trim, Front Door and Shutters (if you have them).

The question most homeowners ask me is, “How long does the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) take to review an application?” The ARC has been working diligently to make the approval process as easy and painless as possible. We are more than willing to work with homeowners and expedite requests.

The ARC will continue to make improvements to better meet the needs of this vibrant and diverse community.

Please remember, whether it’s a large or small landscape renovation, building a boat dock, changing the color of your home, or just installing a satellite dish, all changes to the exterior of your home or yard need approval from the ARC prior to starting the project. I am here to answer any questions you may have, so please keep in touch!

Another question I hear often is, “If I am going to paint my house the same color, do I need to submit an ARC form?” The answer is yes. If you are painting your house the same colors or changing your exterior colors, you will need to submit an ARC application form. If you are changing your exterior colors, you can choose from our approved exterior paint packages or supply us with 8
