NEW WEBSITE FOR THE
EAGLES COMMUNITY
The Eagles is proud to present a website
which has been superbly done by volunteer
resident Nicholas Chachula. Thank you so
very much Nick for all the hours spent
designing and putting it together and now
all the hours spent ensuring homeowners
can sign in to the Residents section! We
are all so very grateful to you. At the end
of March about a quarter of the community
had signed in (registered). If you have not
already registered, we do urge you to do so
and to also participate in the Google Fiber
Survey presented in the Residents only
section.
In addition to the photographers mentioned
in the last edition, namely Jelena Mulin of
Starling Drive, Charles (Chuck) Levin of
Royal Troon, Jim Babcock of St. Andrews
& Doug deWolfe of Canterbury, we also
thank resident Peter Turrell of Prestwick
and the Golf Club for contributing
photographs. The color, the layout, the
ease to get information sought and the realtime opportunities the site present are all a
‘whole new world” for us! So thank you
again Nick for making us proud of the site
and for all your hard work.

SIGNAGE ON NINE
EAGLES DRIVE IS NOW
COUNTY COMPLIANT
The Association’s engineer has submitted
paperwork to the County to certify that
Nine Eagles Drive roadway signage is now
County compliant. Once the Jurisdiction
Agreement is signed there will be hiring of
off duty Deputies to enforce traffic
violations. You will not know when the
officers will be on property, so please pay
attention to speed, stopping at stop
intersections, buckling up, etc.
The Eagles
GOOGLE FIBER
Google Fiber has approached the Eagles to
pilot a test area in the Tampa Bay region.
The Agreement that the Eagles Board of
Directors signs with Google Fiber would
be much like what was offered by Verizon
and Bright House. Signing the Agreement
and allowing them to retrofit the Eagles
community will provide homeowners the
opportunity of choice.
There is no
obligation by homeowners to sign up for
Google Fiber and there is no cost to the
community to have the development fitted
with Google Fiber. There will obviously
be the inconvenience of having large crews
in the Eagles during the install but when it
is done homeowners will have the
opportunity to have the latest cutting edge
technology. There is a lot of information
on this at the links provided on the
www.theeaglescommunity.com website
and a survey is offered for you to vote
whether you would be in favor of this, or
against.

THANK YOU
HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTY
The Eagles Master Association and St.
Andrews Village extend thanks and
appreciation to the Hillsborough County
Board of County Commissioners,
Hillsborough County Children’s Board,
and the Frank E. Duckwall Foundation
within the Community Foundation of
Tampa Bay for awarding each
Association the 2016 Mini Grant in the
amount of $2,500. The Grant program is
coordinated by Hillsborough County
Neighborhood Relations. The Master
Association received funds for social
events and a resident handbook, and St.
Andrews received funds for signage on
their new entry walls and a resident
handbook.

Nearly all alligators become sexually
mature by the time they reach
approximately 7 ft in length although
females can reach maturity at 6 ft. A
female may require 10-15 years and a male
8-12
years
to
reach
these
lengths. Courtship begins in early April,
and mating occurs in May or
June. Alligators will be very visible during
the mating season.
Alligators are ectothermic – they rely on
external sources of heat to regulate their
body temperature. Alligators control their
body temperature by basking in the sun, or
moving to areas with warmer or cooler air
or water temperatures. Alligators are most
active when temperatures are between 82
to 92 degrees F. They stop feeding when
the ambient temperature drops below
approximately 70 degrees F and they
become dormant below 55 degrees F.

visit
our
new
website
at
www.theeaglescommunity.com (this new website is still
under construction & some content may not have been
transferred from the old website which is still active at
www.eaglesmaster.org) for useful information.
All the Governing Documents for The Eagles Master
Association as well as the applicable Village are on the
website. If you were not supplied a set before you closed
on your home, it would behoove you to take a moment and
at the very least review the Restrictions sections. It is most
unfortunate when we have to greet a new homeowner with
a notice relative to a Covenant infraction – we’d much
rather allow you time to settle in, meet your neighbors and
enjoy your new home with the knowledge that you are
aware of the rules and regulations you agreed to at closing.

Royal Troon Village
St. Andrews Village
by President Deborah L. Moore
by President Adrianne Sundheim
“Spring is in the air”
Since ancient times, the coming of spring
represents renewal, love, prosperity and
other traits that exalt the human condition.
In keeping with that spirit, Royal Troon
Village is implementing our version of
“Spring.”
First of all, we hired a new property
management company. The transition to
Leland Management began on March 1st
and thus far has been successful.
Leland is doing their utmost to
accommodate the uniqueness of our
community and they are dedicated to
a s s i s t i n g t h e c o m m u n i t y wi t h
improvements etc.
We have already conducted our first BOD
meeting at their facility on Racetrack Road
and our new CAM, Mary Fritzler has made
the first of her monthly rounds to assess our
property needs.
Next we have turned our focus to drainage
issues and have enlisted our lawn
maintenance company to resolve these
issues.
It is my understanding that the
pilot drainage repair was successful.
Therefore, the BOD is optimistic that
subsequent repairs will be equally
successful.
Next we have a proposal to remove a tree
that has lifted the sidewalk and a residence
driveway. This undertaking will not only
improve the look of the residence where the
tree is located, but will improve the look of
the attached and neighboring homes as
well.
Please let sleeping alligators bask in peace!
Alligators are cold blooded reptiles. They
cannot retain heat. So when they need a bit
of a boost, they look for a sunny spot to
absorb some rays. Usually, they will lie still
or sleep for several hours and then awaken
and return to their pond, where their food
supply awaits them. They were residents of
the Eagles before we were. We intruded on
their habitat. One of the attractions of our
area is the abundance of wildlife. PLEASE
if they are not actively threatening anyone,
let them be. Of course, it goes without
saying, if they are in your pool or acting
aggressively, call the Alligator Hotline at 1866-392-4286 and obtain a reference
number and call it in to the Eagles property
manager who will authorize the reference
number and trapper access. Please note that
nuisance alligators are harvested.
Let’s try to keep our area a refreshing oasis
within the city.
Doesn’t the new ST. ANDREWS sign look
great!
I wish all a pleasant springtime!
WILDLIFE REHABILITATION RESOURCE IN
THE EAGLES
The Eagles is home to abundant wildlife. A
resident of the Eagles has a Wildlife
Rehabilitation Permit and is qualified and
capable to rescue all wildlife in need.
Please do not hesitate to call Kris Porter at
(813) 920-5495.
Canterbury Village
The Village would like to address parking
on the grass. The Declaration does not
allow parking on the grass and Canterbury
is going to enforce this restriction including
parking on the grass at bus stops. The
community’s common areas, especially at
the Canterbury North entrance bus stop will
continue to deteriorate if grass parking is
not enforced. The bus stops at both the
South and North entrances are at very busy
intersections and encourage grass parking
at these stops. In an effort to promote
safety and safeguard the common areas we
ask parents to heed the following order of
where to park:
 For the Canterbury South Entrance we
ask parents who drop off and pick up
children to park in the Sir Maxwell
Court cul-de-sac.
 For the Canterbury North Entrance we
ask parents who drop off and pick up
children to park on Royal Aberdeen on
the exit side of the road between the
lift station and the first house on the
corner of Royal George and Royal
Aberdeen.
The areas are not too far from the bus stops
and will promote traffic flow and allow the
Association an opportunity to improve the
common areas in the area for the betterment
of the community.
Homes that are adjacent, opposite or near
common areas are not permitted to park on
the grass and this applies to your guests and
vendors.
We thank you in advance for your
cooperation!
Turnberry Village
Following that, we will turn our focus to
serious tree trimming, leaf raking and
overall aesthetics of the Royal Troon lawns.
We are very excited about these projects as
they will help improve overall property
values.
Turnberry would like to give a very grateful “Welcome A-Board” shout out
to Dave Madsen who agreed to fill another vacancy on the Turnberry Board.
Dave joined the Board at the March Board Meeting and we look forward to
working with him this year.
Lastly, on behalf of the Royal Troon
Village Board of Directors, we would like
to welcome our new property owners.
Turnberry is one of the few Villages remaining who do not have Rental
Restrictions in place which include capping the number of rentals permitted.
Rentals appear to be on the rise in Turnberry so the Board is in the process of
working with attorneys to propose rental restriction amendments to the
Village. A vote of two-thirds of the Voting Members at a meeting called for
such purpose is required! A vote of this magnitude will require walkers to go
door-to-door so if you are interested in assisting (even if it is to walk 5 or 10
homes) we would love to hear from you! Email leigh@pgcf.com to
volunteer.
We have put together a welcome bulletin
that can be accessed from the Leland
Website. It contains information to help
new and old owners navigate through a host
of issues pertaining to life in the RTV.
Happy Spring to you all.

IS IT LEGAL TO FEED
BIRDS AND OTHER
WILDLIFE?
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife
website feeding wildlife is generally
discouraged and, in some cases, illegal. In
Florida it is illegal to feed manatees,
Sandhill cranes, bears, raccoons, foxes, and
alligators. Intentionally placing food or
garbage, allowing the placement of food or
garbage, or offering food or garbage in such
a manner that it attracts black bears, foxes,
raccoons, or Sandhill cranes and thereby
creates a public nuisance is prohibited.
Additionally, intentionally feeding species
listed as threatened, endangered, or of
special concern – including Florida scrubjays – is prohibited unless authorized by
FWC permit. Feeding listed species is
prohibited because it can negatively alter
feeding behavior in some species and can
cause them to become accustomed to
people.
Feeding wildlife often has a detrimental
rather than a helpful effect.
Feeding
animals may cause some species to
concentrate so much on this supplemental
feeding that they become a nuisance or a
threat to people (e.g. bears, Sandhill
cranes). When fed, alligators can overcome
their natural wariness and learn to associate
people with food. When this happens,
some of these alligators have to removed
and killed.
Feeding stations where wildlife congregates
also can help spread disease among
wildlife. In addition, some food that is fed
to wildlife is considered “junk food” to
animals. Things like bread and other
human staples are generally poor
substitutes for naturally occurring foods
that wildlife finds in the wild. If you
maintain a bird feeder, it should be stocked
with the proper feed and cleaned regularly.
Feeders should be cleaned at least once
every two weeks with soapy water and
rinsed in a 10 percent bleach solution.
Feeding birds responsibly can be a fun and
safe activity. However, if you attract
nuisance species (such as bears or Sandhill
cranes), you must stop feeding until these
animals are no longer visiting your
property. Intentionally attracting listed
species to a feeder is prohibited.
Some of the bird species on the species
listed as threatened, endangered or of
special concern are:
The Eagles
Wood Stork, White Ibis, Whooping Crane,
Roseate Spoonbill, Reddish Egret, Red
Cockaded Woodpecker, Ivory Billed
Woodpecker, Osprey, Little Blue heron,
Burrowing Owl & Florida Grasshopper
Sparrow. For the complete list of all
threatened & endangered species go to :

NEW NORTHWEST
COUNTY DOG PARK
(NCDP)
By: Joe Odda, Chair
Northwest Dog Park Task Force
At the end of March, 2016, work is
scheduled to begin on the Northwest
County Dog Park (NCDP). Here are some
highlights on location and design:






NCDP will be at the HART Transfer
Station at Waters Avenue and Sheldon
Road, running alongside the Upper
Tampa Bay Channel.
There will be a separate area for Large
Dogs (bordered by Waters Avenue on
the West end) and another for Small
Dogs (bordered by Sheldon Road on
the East end), each area will be fully
fenced with substantial space for dogs
to run and play in a safe environment.
The facilities will have covered shade
pavilions, with surrounding artificial
turf.
Dog washing stations are also
included.
The two areas will be connected by a
walkway accessible from the HART
Transfer Station free parking lot.
At a future point, they look forward to
adding agility equipment in both areas.
EAGLES CANAL
CLEANUP WAS
REQUIRED
At
the
beginning
of March
t h e r e
w e r e
massive
a mo u n t s
of mulch,
b a g s ,
pallets
and wood
which had to be cleaned out of the north
western canal sections. Clean up involved
hiring the services of the aquatic
maintenance company to boat and collect
the debris. This canal is key in the Master
Drainage Plan as it carries almost twothirds of The Eagles storm water out of the
Eagles.
We regularly see make shift
bridges for crossing over to the nondeveloped side and this activity has to be
monitored accordingly. The property on
the other side is owned by various entities –
some of it is owned privately, some by the
golf course and the rest by Canterbury
Village.
Access is restricted to by
permission only.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are deeply grateful to Sandra L.
Murman, County Commissioner, District 1,
and Jeffrey Huggins and Della Cury of her
good offices, for leading us through
everything necessary to making this idea a
reality.
Finally, we thank the Department of Parks
and Recreation, and HART, for their
extraordinary cooperation, resourcing, and
planning to build a new park in Northwest
County for our canine family members.
