Making Our Neighborhood the Envy of the Area
Advocating for R & R (Respect and Responsibility) for all.
I’m running for the POA Board because I care deeply about preserving the integrity, safety, and long-term value of our community. As a resident, I’ve listened to neighbors, studied our governing documents, and engaged in thoughtful discussions about how we can balance individual needs with the collective good.
I chose to make this community my home in 2022 because I saw more than just beautiful homes and the planned amenities—I saw the foundation of something truly special. I was drawn to the diversity of the members cultures and backgrounds, the presence of multigenerational families, and the potential to build lasting friendships. It felt like a place where neighbors could become extended family, and where a strong, inclusive community could thrive for years to come.
I believe in practical, transparent decision-making—whether it’s about parking policies, rental rules, or long-term financial planning. My goal is to ensure that our community remains a place we’re proud to call home, where thoughtful planning today prevents costly surprises tomorrow.
I bring a detail-oriented mindset and a collaborative spirit. I’m not running to push an agenda—I’m running to listen, to serve, and to help guide our community with fairness, foresight, and accountability.
The Declaration includes restrictions on landscape lighting. Currently, all landscape lighting must be timer-based and turned off by 11:00 PM each day. However, many homes keep their carriage lights (located next to the garage doors) on throughout the night, and FPL streetlights are positioned close to many properties—providing consistent overnight illumination.
The Amentity Center is a draw and focal area for our community. It provides a sense of a central location in the area with a place to gather, have a meal, meet new people, and enjoy the full resort experience. It's a draw for many when deciding to purchase a home in the community, as well as for those owners who market it to tenants.
The racquet courts have provided a place for individuals to improve skills, receive instructions and training, meet other neighbors, and establish friendships. Not just for Tennis or Pickleball, but also for the Timber Creek Cornhole league.
The pickleball courts are not lighted, and at times all four courts are in use. In addition, the lights on the Tennis Courts are on when no one is playing. This is a small opportunity to improve use, as well as look for opportunities to reduce operating costs for lighting.
Unfortunately this may be the least used Amenity that we have due to the issues with drainage, and surface of the playing field.
Having savings and a reserve inplace for community improvements, repairs or replacements is good financial planning. I see the need to have some reserves for those things that should not need a community vote (e.g. landscape improvements - tree replacements, curb/drain repair, etc).
Florida HOAs are increasingly implementing rules around e-bike registration and use within their communities, especially as e-bikes grow in popularity. While Florida state law treats e-bikes similarly to traditional bicycles, HOAs have the authority to adopt their own community-specific rules to address safety, liability, and quality-of-life concerns. Under Florida State Law Statute §316.20655 regarding e-Bikes:
Golf carts are allowed in the community, and I for one am looking forward to the day that we will be able to extend golf cart traffic outside of the community to the future Gateway Marketplace development at the corner of State Road 82, and Daniels.
The current Declaration and Rules and Regulations outline the following rules for golf carts.
There are multiple mailstations in the community. Regardless of mail delivery concerns, the POA does have a responsibility to ensure the facility and mail lockers are accessible and in a usable state.
When each homeowner purchased their property, they received the Master Declarations, which included specific provisions regarding parking. One key excerpt states: “Because guest parking may be limited in some areas, each Owner is specifically cautioned that he and the other Occupants of his Living Unit may be limited or restricted as to the number of motor vehicles they may keep on the Properties.” There is limited guest parking throughout the community, and the following rules are currently in place:
I support continued enforcement of the rules that are noted above, but I recommend the following modifications to address occasional, short-term needs:
Some owners have been storing their trash and recycling outside. Per the rules and regulations dated March 6, 2020:
Many individuals have purchased property in the community with the intention of generating rental income and are interested in maximizing its use. While the concept of short-term rentals—ranging from a few days to a few weeks—may be appealing to some owners, I believe the transient nature of frequent guest turnover does not contribute to a strong sense of community.
At this time, I do not support changing the current leasing rules, which require a minimum rental period of one month. I believe maintaining this standard helps preserve neighborhood stability and fosters a more connected and consistent residential environment.
In Florida, homeowners associations (HOAs) in gated communities with private roads do have the authority to enforce speed limits.
Our current Declaration outlines a speed limit of 25mph.
HOA's can fine residents for speeding, but they must:
