''COME ONE---COME ALL''

            ''TURN AND TOUR NOW''
  YEP---That's what the big electric sign out front says--Please also note that the brand new big,elevated  billboard makes no reference to our supposed 55+ residency requirement. 

It is certainly understandable that HTA needs to sell their new home inventory to qualified buyers. However,---the wording on the signs seems to convey the message----''y'all come on in & see whuts here''
 More and more we see young people, some with back packs, or carrying plastic bags, --walking into and out of our''gated'' community.
We need some form of gate security! There are other forms of monitoring our entrance, besides the ''in person attendant''--over a year ago, Fairways Watch did a detailed study involving 11 security vendors, including a company that does remote monitoring for Lockheed Martin, the defense contractor.
 The system that was proposed ---LEGAL residents would have had bar code stickers on their cars---double gates,--no tailgating---the visitors would have had to a show drivers license, with a camera recording.
  A human gate attendant would required a large initial expenditure for a rest room at the gate house.[ est $30-50k]
  Live remote systems can even be leased from vendors.---Anyone that would want to see a remote system working successfully, can see it at a development off of Avalon Bld., near the middle school---The monthly cost would be less than ''Barney Fife''



The security issues involve more than just gate security---We are also in need of better ,qualifying back ground checks and enforcement of basic criminal eviction laws, as provided in Fl statute 723.

The 2014 Florida Statutes

Title XL REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY Chapter 723  MOBILE HOME PARK LOT TENANCIES View Entire Chapter 723.061 Eviction; grounds, proceedings.— (1) A mobile home park owner may evict a mobile home owner, a mobile home tenant, a mobile home occupant, or a mobile home only on one or more of the following grounds: (b) Conviction of a violation of a federal or state law or local ordinance, if the violation is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of other residents of the mobile home park. The mobile home owner or mobile home tenant must vacate the premises within 7 days after the date the notice to vacate is delivered. This paragraph constitutes grounds to deny an initial tenancy of a purchaser of a home under paragraph (e) or to evict an unapproved occupant of a home We actually have a young convicted felon,on probation, living in the Fairways, and being visited by armed state probation officers!

  In recent thefts, residents have had losses,---but so has HTA. Golf cart batteries have been stolen at the office, as well as pool umbrellas and etc.---SO--- why should the residents be the only ones to pay ??-What about ''Billy Casper Inc.'' ??---OH YEAH--SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS THE STUPID RESIDENTS FAULT---JUST LIKE THE BILLY CASPER RESTAURANT GOING BROKE--WHILE SERVING EXPENSIVE ONE HOUR HAMBURGERS and never having what they advertised!
HTA IS MISSING OUT ON 2 OF THE BEST SALES TOOLS, AVAILABLE TO THEM!
 Number one is a gate security and greeting system.---

Following close behind would be a simple, basic, fairly priced eating facility.
IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE RESIDENTS COULD ONCE AGAIN GATHER, ON A FRIDAY EVENING.
  We believe that HTA  will be hard pressed to sell their $100k homes under the existing 
conditions, with lot prices approaching $800, and the amenities offered.
  IT IS CERTAINLY TO THE BENEFIT OF ALL  FAIRWAYS HOMEOWNERS TO SEE HTA HAVE A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION AND BE A GOOD, FINANCIALLY STRONG PARK OWNER.
  BUT--- CHANGES COULD AND SHOULD BE MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.---- SOME OF THE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS, MADE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BEEN DOWN RIGHT STUPID!
  There was never any input accepted from the homeowners!
  AFTER ALL WE LIVE HERE----NONE OF THE MANAGEMENT TEAM DOES!
