Southfield, MI, December 4, 2014 - Sun Communities, Inc. (SUI) (the "Company"), today announced that it has entered into agreements with a group of related selling entities (the "Sellers") to acquire a portfolio of seven manufactured housing communities, including associated manufactured homes and certain intangibles. The seven communities are located in the Orlando, Florida area, are comprised of approximately 3,150 manufactured housing sites (approximately 60% of which are in age-restricted communities) and are 96% occupied. In addition to the developed sites, there are approximately 380 potential expansion sites in the communities.

Total consideration for the acquisition is approximately $257.6 million, including the assumption of approximately $157.5 million of debt. The balance of the consideration will be paid in a combination of up to approximately $31.8 million in cash, common OP Units of Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership, the Company`s operating subsidiary ("SCOLP") (at an issuance price of $61 per unit) and newly-created Series C preferred OP units in SCOLP (at an issuance price of $100 per unit).  Of the consideration to be paid with OP Units in SCOLP, 60% will be paid in Series C preferred OP Units and 40% will be paid in common OP Units.  Distributions will be paid on the Series C preferred OP units at a rate equal to 4.0% per year from the closing until the second anniversary of the date of issuance, 4.5% per year during the following three years, and 5.0% per year thereafter. At the holder`s option, each Series C preferred OP unit will be exchangeable into 1.111 shares of the Company`s common stock and holders of Series C preferred OP units will not have voting or consent rights. 

  The transaction is subject to the Company`s satisfaction with its due diligence investigation and customary closing conditions, including consent of the existing lendhe transaction is expected to close in February 2015.

"This transaction further strengthens our Florida portfolio of high quality communities, particularly in age-restricted communities," said Gary A. Shiffman, the Company`s Chairman and CEO. "We believe this acquisition, together with our previously-announced acquisition of a portfolio of communities owned by Green Courte Partners, will allow us to continue our steady growth and fundamentally transform our business."

Sun Communities, Inc. is a REIT that currently owns and operates a portfolio of 215 communities comprising approximately 78,400 developed sites.

As the number of parks has dwindled, they have become a popular investment choice in recent years. One of the biggest groups to enter the manufactured-housing scene is the Carlyle Group, which manages more than $200 billion of assets.

Last year, it had purchased a park in Melbourne and another near Sarasota for $30.8 million.

In southeast Orlando, Gulfstream Harbor was part of a 245-park portfolio purchased recently by Sun Communities Inc. from American Land Lease Inc. for more than $1 billion.

Sun Coast, a publicly traded company, will take on about $157.5 million of debt for the Orlando portfolio acquisition and it will pay the remainder with a package that includes as much as $31.8 million in cash.

Closing is scheduled for February.

The company owns and operates 215 manufactured housing comm

SEEMS THAT TOTAL COULD BE 8 PARKS!

Good morning sir
 I would like to take a moment to say thank you for two things. First of all for your Fairways visit last month. I truly appreciate, you taking time from your schedule to come and get acquainted with the Fairways community.
  Secondly I would like to thank you and all of your sector 2 folks for the great response that was given yesterday ,to a ''burglary in progress'' in the Fairways. As you may be aware of, around noon yesterday ,an elder resident returned home to discover that a burglar was in her home. Although there was no direct confrontation,  you know better than I that this presented a possible far more serious situation.
 I know that the large, quick response of your good folks--[four legged ones included]-- certainly impressed our residents.
  Rest assured,--you and your officers are greatly appreciated in the.Fairways community.
 We wish you all the best and hoping you have a great holiday season.

SPECIAL BURGLARY ALERT!

BURGLARY OF OCCUPIED RESIDENCE ON
SPYGLASS ST. 

At 11;55AM  this date aproximately 12 Orange county Sheriff units were dispatched to the 14400 area of Spyglass St .  BURGLARY IN PROGRESS! A resident had just returned from shopping ,when she heard a noise, in the rear of her home. Upon further examination, she found her bed in disaray and a pillow case missing. She also notced a small rear window had been forced open and the missing pillow case out in the back yard THE RESIDENT CALLED  911---.In quick order a large contingent of deputies arrived with 2 canine units.---The canine deputies were Astro and Tebow---they went right to work!

 A perimeter was set up ,all the way down to the RV area.
The 4 legged deputies worked the Spyglass fence and Congress st to no avail.
 It seems that the female resident had arrived back to her house, just as the perpetrator was about to load up her belongings.--BUT THE TIMING ALSO PUT THE RESIDENT IN DANGER!
It is believed that the burglar was young, small in stature and very athletic.----There was also a report of a green SUV ,with 3 young white males seen in this immediate area of Spyglass about the same time, seemingly, taking pictures of houses. ---any relationship to the burglary is not known.
 Sadly ,during my meeting with Captain Garrison 2 weeks ago, I predicted the start up of the Fairways ''burglary season''.
   Tomorrow morning, I will Email Captain Garrison a note,--thanking him for the great quick response of his officers.

  Hey folks--- would it not be comforting to have a ''common sense'' security check at our front gate?----Management said that there never has been a guard at the gate----older residents say that is BULL CRAP!

DON'T SHOOT ??

RECENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SOUND OF GUN FIRE IN THE FAIRWAYS!



Fairways Watch investigated the residents calls, with the following results. [This blog administrator is not a gun owner--BUT--is a strong supporter of our 2nd amendment!]
  To obtain accurate information we contacted the Orange County Sheriff's office special project officer, Deputy Jason Murrill.
 During a long conversation with Jason, the following information was obtained. There are 2 legal gun firing ranges ,near the Fairways. One of the ranges is in the back area of the Moose club, the other sets off of Lake Pickett Rd. Under certain atmospheric conditions, the sound of gunfire,carries loudly to the Fairways area. The Moose club promotes various shooting contests, such as their ''turkey shoots''
  As to Florida law regarding,''discharge of a fire arm''--the law is --and I quote-- A complicated,--confusing--and ''contradicting mess''
 The law is so complicated that most deputies, do not make on the scene arrests for a suspected violation. They usually write a very detailed report and send it to the state attorneys office for evaluation !
  We also received a report from a reliable source that a park resident had ''test fired'' his hand gun, between houses on Pine Valley  Dr. Deputy Murrill said that this action could be ''discharging a fire arm in a reckless manner'' [ a misdemeanor]----Shame on the resident perpetrator that has such a small regard for the safety of his neighbors!
 Jason also suggested that interested parties, read Florida state statute 790.15
  The following article below is an interesting reprint ,from a prominent Florida newspaper

Fla. law allows backyard shooting ranges !

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Quoted From The Herald Tribune:

The only rules in Florida to discharging firearms on residential property are that you can’t fire over a right-of-way of any paved public road, highway or street, you can’t fire over any occupied dwelling and you can’t fire recklessly or negligently.

Because violation of the statute is only a first-degree misdemeanor, Ramsay said an officer would have to personally witness the recklessness or negligence to make an arrest at the scene. (The offense is punishable by a maximum fine of $1,000 and maximum jail time of a year.)

Many municipalities in Florida used to have local laws banning the firing of guns in residential areas. While the preemptive state law has been in place for almost three decades, many local governments ignored it and passed their own gun ordinances.

But in 2011, backed by the National Rifle Association, the Republican-led state Legislature put more teeth into the state law, creating penalties for local lawmakers who violate it. Gov. Rick Scott signed the law that now makes anyone who creates or upholds local gun ordinances subject to fines of up to $5,000. They also can be removed from office and forced to pay their own legal bills if sued over local gun ordinances.

Once the 2011 law took effect, Florida Carry, a nonprofit, gun-rights organization, began systematically going after any municipality that had not already put a bullet into its local gun ordinances.

Palm Beach County sued the state to keep its gun laws, but the courts upheld the Legislature’s authority.

“I think it’s ridiculous and absurd that we can’t regulate where shooting ranges can crop up,” said Monroe County Commissioner Heather Carruthers, whose district includes the high-density island of Key West.

As the law is written now, a person technically could shoot a gun even in a tiny yard.

In 2005, when Charlie Crist was attorney general, he wrote a letter to Sheriff Roy Raymond of Indian River County that said: “It is well settled that absent a general law stating otherwise, local governments have no authority to regulate firearms in any manner.”

THE FAIRWAYS HAS A RECENTLY FORMED GUN CLUB. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED AND IS GROWING---WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY?

GOLF CART STOLEN---WATCH YOUR CART!

 WE HAVE HAD A GOLF CART STOLEN NEAR THE NORTH WEST AREA OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Late Sunday evening Fairways Watch was notified that an older EZ GO cart was stolen from the 1780 address area of Kings Mill Dr. OCSO was properly notified and report filed.----In years past, this particular area has had a history of cart thefts. History also shows that the thieve's have come in over and through the 6 ft ,chain link fence, that protects the west side of the park. [see photo]
 It appears that possibly, the perpetrators ,once again, gained access in this manor. This same area of fence has been ''patched'' several times. Although there are some indication that people could have come over the fence---there is no sign that the cart was taken out in that manner. 
  Once again looking back---some of the stolen vehicles were driven out through the front gate!---Some of you might ask---did the gate camera's record a cart going out the gate?----We, the residents will probably never know,because that type of information is ''protected'' by the infamous, far reaching, FAIRWAYS PRIVACY LAW!

Once again citing history---carts that have been recovered have usually been found ,in the Bithlo area----what a surprise!
SPECIAL NOTE---
Additional information---after a second examination, it appears that the following method of theft could have been used----A 4x4 truck, could have been backed up against the fence,pushing it down--then the cart could have been driven up 2 planks and hauled away.---The pattern on the grass and brush suggest this possibility.---BEWARE __CART THEFTS SEEM TO HAPPEN IN MULTIPLES! .


  

CHARGES DROPPED, CASE CLOSED!

In keeping with our policy of reporting fair,accurate, truthful and verified information,we submit the following comment.
  Within the past two months, we have posted two reports on law enforcement activity at a residence at 14531 Pebble Beach Dr, These reports were in regard to FDLE executing a search warrant and the subsequent arrest of a resident. 
  After the filing of 10 felony charges,the state abruptly returned a ''no information notice'' on November 25. This action drops all charges and the case was closed.
 As we stated in our first post on this matter---''In our judicial system, all defendants are presumed innocent, until proven guilty in a court of law''

COULD IT BE?

Our community continues to be blessed with a ''NO LOST PROPERTY REPORT'' status. The last lost property report filed with the Sheriff's office was on February 9 of this year.At this time last year we were having multiple auto and house burglaries.---Why the change?
  The answer could possibly be related to some information in the Orange County Jail data base.In the past criminal history of the Fairways ,there has been a ''person of interest '' surface numerous times. [see copy below]

FAIRWAYS RESIDENT CONVICTED BY A FEDERAL JURY

FAIRWAYS RESIDENT FOUND GUILTY IN FEDERAL COURT!
This is an update, related to two previous posts on the same individual and offense.---[see the earlier posts for complete details]

In early July a Fairways [non- owner] resident was arrested by the Orange county Sheriff's Office, for shining a laser at a Sheriff helicopter. The 31 year old man was identified as Joseph Parrott of 1704 Kings Mill Dr. Originally ,Parrott was charged with a felony by the state of Florida. Later on,he was taken in from Kings Mill Dr. by the FBI and US Marshals service, and charged with a federal felony statute.
  On a WFTV channel 9---5 PM news segment, November 18, it was announced that Parrott was convicted by a federal jury and ''could be sentenced, up to 5 years in federal prison''
  Fairways Watch called Channel 9 and confirmed the report. Results of Federal cases are not readily available to the public.-----NOW---Comes the same---- OLD QUESTION---HOW IN THE HELL DID HE GET IN HERE TO START WITH?----FOLKS, I CAN ONLY SAY--- GO BACK TO MY EARLIER POST TITLED UNDER THE RADAR!

                ADDITIONAL UPDATED INFORMATION

Orange County Sheriff's Office, Florida

8 hrs · 

Authorities proved that Parrott, a passenger in the car, knowingly aimed the laser beam at the helicopter at least four times,"
Having a laser pointed at an aircraft is one of the most dangerous situations that pilots can encounter.
Parrott's sentencing is scheduled for February 2nd, 2015.

SERIOUS VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN THE FAIRWAYS

     FREAK ACCIDENT SERIOUSLY INJURES RESIDENT !

At approximately 9:15 AM  Monday, Fairways Watch received a call from one of our block captain spotters. EMS and police vehicles were at an address on Kings Mills Dr. A check of the EMS web site and OCSO site ,showed dispatches to 1758 Kings Mill, for a vehicle accident. Fairways watch went to the scene and found a damaged Jeep SUV and a Florida Highway Patrolman---- Trooper Reyes.
   The trooper was filling out a report on the accident described as follows. ----A 64 year old male resident pulled into park at 1758 Kings Mill. The resident neglected to put the transmission into the park position, before leaving the Jeep.---The vehicle started moving, unattended ,down Kings Mill. In attempt to stop the vehicle, the resident, tried to open the door and bring the car to a halt. The car,----out of control,ended up against a tree at 1788 Kings Mill.---. This left the resident pinned between the door and the tree.
 EMS transported the accident victim to the hospital. Trooper Reyes said that the resident was seriously injured---but the injuries did not appear to be life threatening.
  FOLKS---WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM THIS!------TAKE TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND THINK!
  This is the second such accident within recent memory in our community. Several years ago ,a resident, on Carnoustie Ct. critically injured himself in a similar mishap.----Sadly that accident ended with the death of that victim.

MEET THE NEW CAPTAIN!

 As reported previously East Orange County has a new Sector 2 commander. Captain Stephen Garrison is the successor to Captain Brett Meade.Captain Garrison accepted his new position at the First of September. I had the pleasure to first meet Captain Garrison at Captain Meade,s retirement party on September 12.

Captain Garrison,s law enforcement resume can best be summed up in a few words---''BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT'' His career ,as an officer spans over 20 years.He did it the hard way--working his way up through the ranks. The new Captain has served the Sheriff's office as a cyber detective, SWAT team member, dive team officer, economic crimes detective,and even worked the agricultural division [air boats and gators]--- The above information was found in the Linkedin website.

I was recently contacted by Captain Garrison, asking to                     meet with Fairways Watch, out here in the Fairway needless to say,I was flattered by his request.

On the morning of November 14, I met with Captain Garrison, at the Masters club house. At the Captains request, we were joined by his ''special projects'' officer Jason Murrill.

We had a great productive  meeting, covering many subjects and problems, that are pertinent to our area.

 I have made reference to Deputy Murrill several times at our HOA meetings. I thought that it was appropriate to have a picture of him for the residents.---YES-- Jason is as big as he looks.Deputy Murrill has done a number of things, behind the scenes for ALL of us in the Fairways.---A word to the wise ---DON'T MESS WITH JASON!

Captain Garrison has expressed a desire to continue the good work of his predecessors, in the Fairways. I believe that he can help educate all of us at our next security and safety seminar.

As I have said before,numerous times ---YES--- The Fairways, sure has it's problems, in many areas--BUT-- We are blessed with some of the finest safety forces anywhere in the country.--- Our station 80 and 82 EMS folks and  the folks at Sector 2 are the best!

Scam Alert
New Scam Uses Email to Target Citizens
 The latest in a string of scams targeting Florida residents now includes
 individuals claiming to be from Clerks’ offices sending menacing
 emails in an attempt to steal personal information.
 The fraudulent emails are being sent to citizens purportedly from
 Clerks’ offices across the state. The emails reference missed jury duty or
 court appearances and attempt to retrieve personal data by computer
 virus attached as a .zip file. These malicious attachments contain a
 “Trojan Horse” virus that becomes active as soon as the file is unzipped.
Clerk of Courts Eddie Fernández reminds residents that official court communications
are sent through standard mail. Jury summons and failure to appear notices are not
communicated via phone or email.
The Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers have compiled a list of important tips to
remember regarding court services:
• The Clerk’s Office does not call or email residents to request payment for missing jury
 duty. The Office will also never request payment via any sort of prepaid debit card.
• The Clerk’s Office does not call or email residents to verify information related to jury
 duty. Communications are only sent by mail.
• If a resident misses jury duty, the individual receives a failure to appear notice in the
 mail from the judge representing his or her Circuit Court.
• Arrest warrants are not usually issued for failure to report for jury duty. Please contact
 the Clerk’s Office if you receive one.
• Do not open an email attachment from any unfamiliar source, and never provide
 personal information to an unfamiliar source, either by phone or email.
If you receive a call or email that you suspect is related to this scam, contact Orange

A GREAT EXAMPLE OF RESIDENT ENVOLVEMENT

Recently Fairways Watch received an Email from a concerned and involved resident. Although the good resident did not do this in an anonymous manner, we chose not to publish his name, due to respect for  privacy.

Saw this guy walking around on Pine Valley looking lost.  He had an open backpack and was pre occupied with an I pad.

I asked what he was up to and he said he was taking political poles.  I ask what address he was going to and he said 14---  Pine Valley.  That's Bill and his Mom's house, and they weren't home,,,,so I took his picture and asked for ID.

He could produce none so I showed him how to get to the gate.  Then I followed to make sure he did.

THIS TYPE OF UNAPPROVED VISITORS ARE COMMON BEFORE A SCHEDULED ELECTION.  

  They are usually young college age kids that come in with a certain parties, voters list. They may not be a security risk, but they are  considered a dinner time nuisance by many residents

   Thank you Jeff !
