Plat 1 Myth Busters
&
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
In a continued effort to promote transparency, there are some issues that need addressing. For years this community has been run with a sort of hearsay or grapevine mentality, as far as the governing documents are concerned. Most of us are not lawyers and the legalese of the docs leave most of us so confused, that we never really read them completely. This has led to many unhappy homeowners over the years. This page is dedicated to dispelling the myths and gossip that plague our community!

Solar Panels
There is nothing in our documents stating your home cannot be solar powered. When our community was built, solar was not an option for home use yet.
​Please keep in mind that the homeowner will have to contact the board member responsible for Architecture. Currently Carl Malysz. The homeowner assumes all responsibility for the county permitting, and must abide by all state and federal laws that apply.

FPL EASMENTS
What is an FPL easement?
An easement is a legal right to do something on another person's land. Easements. provide FPL and other utilities a legal right to access public or private land for specific. purposes such as: » the construction and installation of power lines, poles and other equipment.
FPL controls transmission easements in 50 counties in the State of Florida. Easements allow us to efficiently use parcels of land we do not own.
The easement gives FPL permission to enter the property to install, maintain, repair, or replace underground power lines and other equipment. The standard easement area is 10 feet by 10 feet, but it may vary depending on the field conditions.
Easements are required when installing electrical lines and equipment on private property, but not for the electrical line that connects the property to FPL's electric system. Easements typically don't expire and remain in force even when the property is sold.
