General Policy: Owners who wish to have an Estate Sale or Moving Sale, must notify the Board or Property Management Company within 14-days or more, prior to the Estate or Moving Sale for Board Approval. This is to allow for arrangements to be made for programming the Front Visitor Gate to be opened and to make sure all parking and safety issues have been addressed as well as determining the actual date and times for notification to the Membership
RULES: 1. Owners need to notify the BOD or Property Management Company, in writing, using the current “Estate Sale Notification Form”, fourteen (14) days or more, prior to the Estate Sale or Moving Sale. The Owner or their designated representative must receive a written APPROVAL by the Board and once they receive the APPROVAL they must agree all of the following submitted information and conditions:
a. Realtor or Estate Sale Representative Contact information (the person doing the sale of the Estate Items, if this is the owner this is not needed)
b. The Date(s), Day(s) and Times of the Sale so that the VISITOR GATES can be programmed for opening.
c. The Owner is responsible to make sure all Community Parking rules are followed, and vehicle parking is on only one side of the street due to the Florida State Emergency Right-of-Way Laws. Owners may be fined before the final sale of their home and will be noted at the closing with the Realtor if damages occur to neighbors lawns or other violations are noted.
Common Violations that can be issued to the owner and/or representative: 1c. Violations can be issued to owners if their visitors are blocking a neighbor’s driveway or blocking a neighbor from exiting their driveway safely. 2c. Violations can be issued to owners if their visitors are parked within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. 3c. Violations can be issued to owners if their visitors park on any neighbors lawns or on the Common Public Easements between the street gutters and sidewalks. 4c. Violations can be issued to owners if their visitors are not parked on one side of the street causing a Right-of-Way blockage for emergency vehicles to move freely through the road.
2. Upon review, the BOD will notify the owner if there is a conflict due to other events or parking, since the parking is limited within the community and may be required to have the sale dates changed.
