An early morning hit and run leveled the mailbox and post unit for 4956 Vizcaya Drive which is a home in foreclosure. Your associations board of directors promptly took action and contacted both the ESCO and FHP about the problem. We further took action and located the car that hit the mailbox assembly parked a short distance down the street.
After checking the car over for damage we made pictures of the said car's damage, license plate, and side shot. We then made pictures of the mailbox damage, tire pattern, curb impact area.
A copy was made to the associations picture folder and copies produced for use by FHP. The FHP patrolman took down the information about what happened, took the photo's and then posted a BOLO for the car which had departed before his arrival.
The end result was the FHP apprehended the driver of the said car on Navy Blvd around noon. To put it short the driver no longer has a job since the car was a company car. The owner of the business is now working with your Vizcaya Homeowners Association to pay for the complete replacement of the mailbox assembly.
"The Grinch is no longer in Vizcaya, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of good neighbors out there"

This is a brief update on our community.
We received all of our 2010 Association dues with exception of the three (3) homes that are under foreclosure.
A lien will be filed once again on these properties.
Under common area landscaping the red mulch application is complete along with applying weed & feed / plus lime to the grass covered areas.
Lisa has transplanted some new flowering plants into the front island bed. We should be seeing some color as the plants grow larger.
We have a newly installed water faucet plus a hose available in the western flower bed for watering newly set out plants.
The dollar weed problem has returned worst than ever this year. We will be applying weed killer to all common area surfaces along Gulf Beach Highway to control this growth. This will most likely require several applications before a slow down is seen. Do not be alarmed when you start seeing brown dead areas now covered by grass, this just the weed killer in action.
The palm fronds on the entrance island will be getting trimmed this weekend. The palms in the side beds will trimmed later.

The Annual Vizcaya Homeowners Association Meeting was conducted on February 13, 2010 at 9:00 AM in the Southwest Library meeting room.
The minutes to the meeting are as follows:
The meeting was brought to order at 9:15 AM to give time for more homeowners to enter since it was such a cold morning.
Our annual meeting in 2011 will be scheduled in late March or early April with the aim for warmer weather. The reservation of the library meeting room will be the only conflict.
The election of the Board of Directors for 2010 was held.
The association members present selected the following directors.
President: John Higgins
Secretary: Ron Nelson
Treasurer: Joe Bommarito
Director at Large: Carl Stone
Director at Large: Travis Boyd
New Business: All association members present are vastly concerned about the continued preservation of the appearance of our community and keeping it within our Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions standards. The biggest problem brought up during discussion was that some tenants fail to follow our standards by parking in the street overnight, parking on the grass, trashy lawns, failure to keep their lawn / flowerbeds properly, and the biggie noise.
The state of the economy and the slow sales of new homes and resales earned the attention of all present. We have four homes listed for sale, four in foreclosure, and JBL has four undeveloped lots up for sale. Our diamond in the rough to attract new homeowners is to keep Vizcaya as attractive as possible by keeping our community up to Vizcaya Standards,which is the same thing that caused all of us to build or buy our homes.
Landscape maintenance to our common areas was discussed.
Russell Carr Lawn Service and Quality Lawn Service were suggested for bids. The outcome was the selection for Russell Carr to continue to keep our common areas up to Vizcaya Standards.
The meeting adjured at 10:15 AM.
Your board of directors man on the street talks with homeowners continues to hear about our No Soliciting Policy being violated by sales persons and vendors. If a violator shows up at your door please inform them of our No Soliciting Policy and tell them to vacate the neighborhood now and if they do not do so that you will call the Sheriffs Office. The telephone number is 436-9630 to call in a complaint about their failure to leave Vizcaya, give a description of the violator when place your call. If they become abusive in language in any way or actions become violent call 911. That person at your door may be casing your home and our community.
Pet owners are reminded that Florida has a leash law so keep your dog under control and not running loose. Your dog on the loose can easily terrorize a homeowner and their pet during their walk, not to mention the deposits being left on lawns and the street. You do not need a visit from animal control so live within both the Florida laws and Vizcaya Covenants.
Freeze damage to palms, shrubs, bushes, and some trees are apparent in Vizcaya landscape areas. Patience before removal or pruning back on a damaged plant is needed in some cases. Just wait before you act and look for new growth to appear and then prune off the damaged areas. Some of the pretty palms may be damaged beyond recovery in some of our landscapes.
The websites home page current picture will be replaced by a picture of our newly landscaped entrance island when the foliage and flowers start to show the efforts of our "Flower and Foliage Lady Lisa."
The Board of Directors needs the Email address of all homeowners with internet access, so please send us an Email along with your name, telephone number, and address for inclusion in Vizcayas data files. This website and Email is the Board of Directors method of saving our association by avoiding using snail mail when ever possible.
Fellow homeowners it is a must for all homeowners to pay their annual dues to the Vizcaya Homeowners Association on time. These funds pay for the expenses of maintaining our common areas, insurance, and utilities. Your Board of Directors appreciates your cooperation in this matter by paying on time.
The Board of Directors needs feed back about this website, so please Email those suggestions or comments to us at hoavizcaya@gmail.com.
In closing lets remember Vizcayas motto "Enhancement" and strive to keep Vizcaya as beautiful as possible
