Tree Encroachment
Recently, residents have approached the CDD with concerns about tree branches extending onto their property from either CDD-owned land or neighboring lots. Below is a summary of Florida law regarding tree limbs and roots encroaching onto private property.
Encroaching Trees (Branches/Roots):
A landowner is not liable for damage caused by healthy trees, even if branches or roots encroach onto a neighbor’s property.
The neighbor has the right to trim encroaching branches or roots at their own expense, but only up to the property line.
If the branches or roots are dead, the tree owner may be liable for any resulting damage.
Falling Trees:
If a healthy tree falls and causes damage, the owner is not liable.
If a dead tree falls and the owner was aware (or should have been), they can be held liable for damages.
Leaves, Fruit, Seeds, Flowers:
A landowner is not liable for natural debris (like leaves or fruit) falling onto a neighbor’s property.
The neighbor may trim overhanging branches causing the issue, again only to the property line.
Landscaping
Please be advised that until the irrigation pump house issue is approved and resolved, the common area irrigation schedule will remain set from 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Due to system pressure limitations and to avoid overheating the current motors, the golf course and common areas cannot be irrigated simultaneously. We understand this may cause inconvenience around sidewalks and building areas during these hours, but this adjustment is necessary to ensure both the golf course and common areas continue to receive adequate watering.
Front Entrance Pond
The new contactors were installed and the system tested. New breakers are required, and we are awaiting a schedule date for replacement. This will be a multi-step process as each identifiable issue can only be tested as the damaged parts are identified in the testing process.
Monthly Pool Closure
The next pool closure is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4th.
The monthly pool closure allows Yellowstone to trim trees and shrubs, prevent weeds, and fertilize around the pool. It also enables Florida Aqua Group to deeply sanitize the pools and spa to prevent algae.
Please note: Even if no staff or vendors are present in the late afternoon, the elevated chemicals used for sanitization can still be harmful to swimmers.
Current Pool Hours are 7:45 am to 7:00 pm.
Note: Pool hours are posted at all entrances. Using the pools and spa outside of the posted pool hours could result in suspension of amenity privileges
Stop Signs
Recently, we've noticed an increase in golf carts and bicycles not stopping at stop signs.
For the safety of all residents and guests, we kindly remind everyone that all vehicles—motorized or not—must come to a complete stop at every stop sign. Please also slow down when rounding the bends on White Plains Way as golf carts and pedestrian's cross the street in this area.
Thank you for your attention to this important safety matter.
CDD Office Hours
CDD Office walk-in hours are Tuesday through Friday, 9 am - 4 pm (Closed from 12 pm - 1 pm for lunch) Please note, that the office is closed to walk-ins on Mondays, but the CDD staff are still available by phone during regular business hours.
