January,2015 - Citrus Park
January 2015 HAPPY NEW YEAR! May you have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2015! Our winter season is now in full swing and traffic has become very heavy. We would like to remind everyone that our speed limit throughout the community is 15 mph. Please remember children under the age of sixteen (16) are not permitted to drive golf carts without the accompaniment of an adult. Please try to stay off the main roads whenever possible. Please be advised that two (2) vehicles are allowed to be parked on your site. This does not include your golf cart. In the RV Section you are permitted to store one boat, canoe, or Jet Ski up to 20ft. behind your unit. If you have a driveway, all vehicles must be parked on the driveway NOT in the grass. Important: We ask that you please NOT pick the orange trees on Trost Blvd. Thank you!! RV residents, your renewal agreement for the 2015/16 season will be in your mailboxes towards the end of January. Should you not be here to receive your rental agreement you may download and print the agreement from our online website at www.mycitruspark.com , it is not necessary to stop at the administration office at this time to reserve your site for next year. We always give the current residents the first opportunity to reserve their site for the upcoming season. We anticipate the February reservations for our 2015/16 season will begin with Street 1 and Street 2 by February 9th. The RV six month rental plan where your occupancy is from November 1st through May 1st will be $3,115.00 and a $1,000 deposit will be required to reserve your particular site. With this plan your unit may be kept on or off site year around. However, if the unit is left on site it MUST be tied down according to City and County Regulations. Please Note; Rents in the Mobile Homes will increase to $450.00 and the Resorts will increase to $400.00 per month to NEW incoming residents. For any one intending to sell or transfer their home to someone else, please be advised that Citrus Park does not refund or reimburse the difference of the unused lot rental amounts to the seller. It is recommended that the seller consider this and perhaps incorporate this dollar amount into the selling price. All units listed for sale must have administration approval and the new resident must pass a criminal and background check before Citrus Park will transfer lot/site to a new tenant. This process can be initiated with a simple notification phone call to the administration office. If you are in our administration lobby taking care of business, please abstain from using your cell phone. Our lobby can get very crowded, and we strive to assist our residents as quickly as possible. There are times when talking on the cell phone is a bit distracting and just adds to extra noise. Thank you for your consideration. We wish you and your families a very Happy and Healthy New Year!! Tamara Swan President www.MyCitrusPark.com Information Activities Office Security Department Podiatry Services Citrus Park Storage Compound Please stop by the Activities Office to receive a copy of our daily Activity Schedule. Just a reminder: ALL SALES ARE FINAL for tickets that are purchased through the Activities Office for outside events (i.e Theatre, sporting events, bus trips, etc.) You are welcome to sell your tickets to a Citrus Park resident, but MUST notify the Activities Office of the new ticket holders name and contact information. In house events (i.e. Dinner Dances, Shows, Concerts, etc.) will be refundable up until 7 days prior to the event date. Please understand that the Activities Office cannot absorb the cost of fees related to last minute cancellations. The Activities Office can be reached at 239-992-3030 ext 170/210 For newsletter submission please email Victoria Traficanti at victoriat@citrusparkrv.net by the 10th of the month for inclusion in our next Newsletter. The space availability is limited and therefore a first come, first serve basis applies. If your group is interested in Co-Hosting an event please stop by the Activities Office to see Victoria Traficanti. Please register your phone number with our OFFICE. This will help connect you with the automated security system and allow you to call in your visitors with ease. THE AUTOMATED NUMBER IS 992-8144.Visitors, & Workers entering Citrus Park are time stamped. All visitors, repair company’s, lawn contract people that are expected at your residence are granted entry if called in to the automated line! ( medical is the exception) NO CALL - NO ENTRY - if we need to call you and cannot reach you they will be turned away, your phone number at security must be the phone registered. Our automated line is for your convenience as well as the arriving guest. You can call from any phone number to use your registered number and code when calling in your guest. RESIDENT LANE If the gate does not open for you while in the resident lane, please check to see if it’s okay to back up. If you can, back up at least to the Stop Sign. Come to a complete Stop, and enter the lane slower. This will give the bar code reader a better chance to scan your barcode. The electronic keypad has been hit more than once with lightning this summer causing the gate to remain inoperable. Because of this costly, continuing problem, we have purchased a totally new system that will require a REMOTE to open the gate for entry. The cost of each remote will be $40.00. This will be refunded whenever you no longer need storage usage. All storage users must check with Bill Farmer or Larry Thompson upon arriving to purchase their REMOTE. Much research has been done with other communities and a remote system seems to be the most reliable. The compound office will be open every Tuesday from 3 PM – 5PM starting Nov 5, 2014. Work days will be during those hours. Contact numbers: Bill Farmer 239-273-6308 Larry Thompson 239-293-4467 Jerry Zeider alternate 765-513-4371 Nancy Russell has recently joined Dr Pham and Dr Swift (Podiatrists) owners of Florida Regional Foot and Ankle Specialists as Director of Operations.

Podiatry clinics will continue at our park at least once a month so watch for sign up sheets posting dates and times. During the podiatry clinics Nancy will be happy to do your BP as time permits. For any questions please contact Nancy Russell at 239-209-2772. She looks forward to her continued service to our park residence.

Citrus Park Residents, I have learned that many new residents of Citrus Park do not know about Tranquility Terrace, what it stands for and especially where it is. Tranquility Terrace is in front of the gazebo on Redblush Ct. with a view of the largest lake in Citrus Park. You are welcome to come and visit and see what other residents of Citrus Park have said and felt. Tranquility Terrace was created for many purposes all of which have an emotional connection to Citrus Park, past, present and future. It is a place where we may remember someone who has passed, to see a saying from one of our neighbors, to see our own names and our home town, our children’s names, a memory of our pet, or an activity in Citrus Park which we are involved with. Yes, Tranquility Terrace does serve many uses including where holiday services and celebrations of life take place each year. For those who have not yet purchased a brick this place makes a permanent statement of your personal thoughts and feelings. Buying a brick says a great deal and truly expresses some very wonderful personal emotions. Join many of your neighbors who have placed a brick in Tranquility Terrace with a message for eternity. I will begin taking brick orders starting May 1, 2014. Anyone interested please contact me. *Guidelines and Cost:* $100.00 puts your message on a 4x8 inch brick with three (3) lines of text limited to 18 characters per line. $160.00 puts your message on an 8x8 inch brick with six (6) lines of text limited to 18 characters per line. $10.00 additional fee will be charged for any graphics.
