FEWER IS BETTER

Q Can the board enact rules or can it only enforce rules that are outlined in the governing documents?
A The board can enact a rule by virtue of its authority as long as it does not contradict specific language in the governing documents. This grants the board a considerable power which it should use prudently. Since the world is awash with rules and regulations already, a basic guideline for HOA rule making is “FEWER IS BETTER”. The board might even consider rescinding a few that prior boards put into effect, especially those that deal with issues that are already enforced by local ordinances. If you can get the police to enforce a rule, why would the HOA get in the middle? Only provide rules that uniquely apply to the HOA.

WELCOME TO TURKEY CREEK FOREST

Established in 1977, Turkey Creek Forest is an over 55 residential community of 445 privately owned homes located in Gainesville, Florida, on US 441 between NW 43rd and NW 34th Streets. Common areas include a front gatehouse with a part time safety dude who is frequently asleep or confused. Don't even need a decal these days. Just tell him you live at any lot number and he will let you in without question. Or drive right past him. He won't stop you. The Community Center houses the office which is open a whole six hours a week; a clubhouse room in dire need of paint and decorating for meetings, activities, and parties; a game room with pool tables, darts and poker table; and the arts and crafts room used for bingo.

FACTS ON TICKETING IN TCF

Since I was this month’s designated board focus for 'speeding’ (which is interesting in and of itself since I was without a vehicle a decidedly good portion on the month) I decided to go straight to the source for answers to my questions. BELOW IS THE EMAIL I SENT OUR GPD COMMUNITY LIAISON.  Good afternoon, I live in Turkey Creek Forest. Every now and again the issue of speeding, stop signs, and ticketing surfaces again. Would you be able to clarify a few questions so we are  all on the same page? The first question would be since we have private roads with a 15 mph speed limit as well as stop signs at most streets where connected to the main road (Forest and Turkey Scratch) will city or county law enforcement monitor and ticket if we so request?  If not, what would options would be available to change that status? From the research I have done it would appear we a) need to make our roads public, b) increase the speed limit to 25, or c) both.  Thank you f...
