If all goes right this week the new High definition cameras will be installed in the common area. The cameras will give us a much better view of what is going on throughout the common area and parking lot 24/7. - jbnesbitt
I received an email this evening asking which fence was scheduled to come down with the road widening ... That fence is NOT on 45th Street. The fence is back by the Northern entrance to Sabal Harbour from the monument to the preserve. I will add a picture to this posting. After a meeting Friday with the engineer ... we MIGHT not even lose that fence. The lines are close but the engineer is going to get back to us. If we lose the fence we would be given some money to rebuild it. We are looking into their offer vs. real costs in the next few weeks.
We know that we are going to lose trees on 45th but no fence.
Please email me if your have any questions jnes1021@gmail.com
Last Friday Bill Leggett, VP and I met with the engineer that is handling both 45th St. and 44th Avenue widening programs. We were told that the June Bid approval that got pushed to July now has been pushed to September. It looks like the project start has been pushed back to maybe December. - jbnesbitt
The SHHA Board needs your email address . Can you please send me your Name Address and email information so that we can send you timely info when the need arises. Send this info to me John Nesbitt at jnes1021@gmail.com I will pass it on to Shana Macri our Property Manager.
If you notice the business card dumped on your driveway today ... I hope that you give this guy no business. As I was walking around the property I came across business cards for a power washing company that were just thrown on the driveway. This card times 482 homes will just end up in the lakes.
The interesting thing is that I called this guy to complain and he could not have given a crap. It was an amazing call. He saw nothing wrong with the fact that his guys dropped his card on a total of 3500 driveways today ... not in the mailbox ... but on the driveway
Think hard before you give this guy business. -jbnesbitt
Mistake last night at the Board Meeting ... Last night we stated that the Phase III Water ban had not been lifted. Actually it was but still not good for new plants. You can now water two days a week. See your days in the picture below.
This does us no good for new plantings ... as if you have not planted on 50% of the irrigation zone you must hand water after the two days.
Example ... if you resod part of your front lawn and it does not equal 50% of your irrigation zone you can water two days but must hand water the rest of the week. We will not have 50% of any zone and if we did with so many zones it would be irrigation chaos.
Aaron is working with the irrigation people to get micro irrigation heads in the area of replanting so that we can water more frequently. Micro irrigation is permitted more frequently.
I was amazed with several negative comments that the Board got via email and nextdoor ... but hey we are volunteers who just give a damn to make SH and SK a better place to live ... if mistakes are stated during a long meeting know that they are not done to hurt a project ... jbnesbitt
45th Street and 44th Ave Widening Project info
Seeing that we have many more people looking at this page than ever before I want to know more information regarding the widening of 45th street ... especially if you live in a home facing 45th street. This project should start in the Fall months.
We were made aware by FPL that we will be losing 36 Oak trees and several palms along 45th street. If there is a tree with a power line and pole in front of it ... it will be taken down. We have worked with FPL to make sure that they stump each tree at their cost. These oak trees will mostly be in front of Sabal Harbour but 6 - 8 trees will be taken from in front of Sabal Key.
There is an area where the power lines go under the ground. NO TREES will be taken from here.
Once we see what is happening our plans are to put some trees behind the fence to help reduce the noise.
Losing the Oak trees is both good and bad. The Oak trees provide shade and noise protection ... but Oak trees as they get older will pull up the fence with their roots ... so all in all in the long run it will be better for us.
NOW AS TO THE 44th INFORMATION
Bill Leggett, VP SHHA BOD, and I traveled to meet with the land acquisition people who had sent us paperwork regarding the land that will be taken for the widening project. It seems that FPL and Manatee County do not agree on what is presented. FPL told us that regarding the 44th Ave project they would not have to move any poles.
We learned from the County that at least one pole next to the back entrance (west side) would have to be moved. We also learned that they will be taking our boundary wall from the Western entrance to the preserve. This represents about 150 - 200 feet. They have offered us a sum of money for the land. We would certainly have to use this money to build a new fence.
This project should start in between 2- 5 years.
Stay tuned - jbnesbitt, President SHHA BOD

Please know that the August Board meeting has been changed until Wednesday 8/16 at 7 PM at the Clubhouse due to School teacher's meetings and the night before the first day of school. We are sorry for the changeThere is a Spectrum Cable person going door to door saying that he is approved by the Board to knock on doors. He even uses names of some Board members and also names others. He is NOT approved by the Board to knock on doors. Ask him to leave.Today thanks to a neighbor in SK I was made aware of four cars that were sitting in the SK parking area ... one had no license, two had expired tags and one was dropped off by a flat bed. One of the cars had a note on it and upon reading it it gave the name of a person and a telephone number. I called the number and told the person that this was not a used car parking lot and that he had until Wednesday to remove the cars. He said that he would .
Excuse my comment but I am pissed and I am going to do something about it ... I was informed early this AM that there was glass in the playground area. I went over to the grounds after hearing about this and found broken beer bottles that were spread over the entire playground area. Who ever did this ... and they were probably some local residents with a pool pass ... not only spread the broken glass under the swings, ladders and slides but they planted pointed glass under the sand so that some child could step on it ...
The Volunteer painting project for the back wall of SH and SK has been postponed. The wall will be power cleaned next week. A new paint date will be set later ...
