IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO HOMEOWNERS OF JOHNS LANDING HOA

To All Residents:

In years past, the Board has utilized its best efforts to have homeowners comply with the covenants, restrictions and reasonable rules of Johns Landing Homeowners Association (“HOA”). Unfortunately, some homeowners simply ignore the covenants, restrictions and rules.

FINES COMMITTEE
Effective immediately, the Association will be enforcing the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements & Restrictions and the Rules & Regulations of the HOA. The Board has established a Fines Committee for the HOA. For homeowners who have not brought their property into compliance after receiving numerous violation letters the board will turn the homeowner over to the Fines committee. Homeowners who proceed with changes prior to receiving ARB approval are in violation and will automatically be handed to the Fines Committee. Homeowners in violation will receive a Notice of Hearing of the Fines Committee and are required to appear before the Fines committee at the next HOA board meeting. The Fines Committee will process fines levied by the board at $100 per day (per violation) up to $1,000 per violation. Should the homeowner fail to comply or pay the fine, the HOA will hand the homeowner over to the HOA attorney to start lien and foreclosure proceedings. Homeowners who choose to pay the fine and not bring their property into compliance will be handed directly over to the HOA attorney to start lien and foreclosure proceedings. The governing documents of the Johns Landing HOA and Section 720.305, Florida Statutes grant the HOA this authority.

GATE ACCESS
As previously notified to homeowners and residents, the gate codes are being purged from the system during June 2022. Residents should use their remotes/clickers to enter the community. Remotes can be ordered from the HOA website Gate Remote Request Form. Guests will require a 3-digit gate-dial-code to enter the community. The 3-digit code will be entered by the guest and will dial the residents linked phone number. On answering the call and validating the caller the resident will press “9” on their telephone keypad to open the gate and boom. If you have not already registered for your dial-in-code, please do so without delay Gate and Directory Entry Request Form.

PAVERS AT THE ENTRANCE AND GATE
Starting mid-July the pavers at the entrance and gate area will be replaced. This approximate 2-week project will cause disruption to the flow of vehicles entering and exiting the community. Residents are asked to please use caution when entering and exiting the community as all traffic will be flowing in and out of only one gate as work is being completed on the opposite side. Due to the congestion and traffic that flows in and out of the community during the day and to allow for a timelier completion of the project, work will take place in the evenings from 8pm to 6am. Regretfully residents in Cura Crt and particularly those who backup onto the gate and entrance area may experience overnight noise from machinery. Residents’ patience and understanding is requested for the duration of this project.

Reminder of the rules regarding parking violations that will result in having your vehicle towed.

  • No parking at the gate lots
  • No parking on ANY grass in our community (Common and/or Private Property).

Architectural Review Board Approval

If you are planning to complete external property maintenance or make any changes to your home including exterior painting, roofing, windows, doors, landscaping, mailboxes etc. an Architectural Review Board (ARB) Application must be submitted for approval.
Any work performed without Architectural Review Board (ARB) Committee approval, which is required pursuant to the Johns Landing Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements & Restrictions Article XV, may be subject to a fine.

NOTE: You will require prior Architectural Review Board (ARB) approval when painting the same color or using the same materials for maintenance, repairs or replacement.
Work may not commence until your request is approved by the Architectural Review Board (ARB).

Fine Committee


Positions open on the Johns Landing Fine Committee

A fine committee administers the fine process when a resident fails to re-mediate violations. The fine committee is the last arbiter that a resident who is accused of rules violation has. To clarify the fine committee does not levy fines, the board levies fines and the fine committee is the arbitrator between the board and the homeowner.

The role of the Fining Committee is expressly limited to preside over the “violation hearing” and to either “confirm or reject the fine or suspension levied by the board.”
Thus, it is not the Fining Committee’s role to grant extensions or otherwise change the amount of the fine levied by the Board.
Fines empower the board to carry out its duty to enforce the governing documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will the ID cling be removable?
    • Yes, it is removable without any residue as it’s a cling with no glue but will stop ‘sticking’ if removed and replaced too many times, so we suggest keeping it in place.
  • Will the ID cling have anything that says Johns Landing or Oakland on it?
    • No, there will not be any anything saying John’s Landing or Oakland.
      It’s a cling with a picture of a tree and the words Parking Permit in green and an ID number.
      The ID number will be linked to you and your address in the HOA database which is private.
  • What is the purpose of the Resident ID?
    • This has become necessary due to issues residents have reported with especially non-residents entering the community, utilizing public areas and causing damaging to both community and homeowner property.
      It’s difficult for residents to call the police on a suspicious vehicle if they have no idea whether the vehicle belongs in the community or not.
  • Why do I need to provide my insurance policies?
    • Insurance policies are the only way the HOA can validate that a vehicle belongs to a resident in the community.
      If the HOA is unable to verify that a vehicle belongs to a resident we will have requests from people who do not reside in the community requesting resident ID clings.
      And yes, we have had issues with people from other neighborhoods with no affiliation to the John’s Landing community requesting remotes, codes etc.
  • Why is the HOA charging for cars in excess of garage space. There are houses that are 5-bedroom homes with a two car garage. Obviously, there would be more than two cars per household if you count the teens driving.
    • The HOA is providing ID clings free of charge up to the number of garages on the property.
      Any vehicles more than the number of garages will be charged for. The HOA has tried to find a fair and logical way to provide as many clings as possible free of charge to the residents within limits.

Should you have any questions please contact John’s Landing HOA.

Community Drain Cleaning

Residents are asked to please ensure that garden refuge and grass clippings are properly removed from properties so as not end up in the drainage system.
If not properly removed the garden refuge and grass enters the drains, clogging them, which will cause flooding during excessive rain.
