The purpose of the public information meeting is to provide you with an opportunity to learn about the 44th Avenue East from 30th Street East to 45th Street East construction project anticipated to begin in spring 2015.

 Improvements being made as part of this project consist of constructing a new four-lane roadway from 30th Street East to  45th Street East, raised medians with grass and concrete curbs, five-foot sidewalks on the north and south sides of 44th Avenue East, four-foot paved bike lanes, roadway lighting and drainage and stormwater improvements.

I have been working with Vanessa Baugh on trying to get more concessions particularly removal of the bike path on Peridia's side to provide enough land for vegetation.  On December 2 during the Land Use meeting, Vanessa brought up the bike path issue after forwarding my email request to all the Commissioners.  The Commissioners decided "no changes" because the "complete streets" concept including bike paths was to help residents in the area move about without having to drive a vehicle.  Can you see our residents riding a bike to Publix?
 
Vanessa then met with Ron Schulhofer, Director of Public Works.  He has agreed to planting vegetation along the burm IF Peridia agrees to maintain the shrubbery.  Vanessa is continuing to meet with Ron to get the County to install an irrigation line.  She has also agreed to meet with the Master Board at the February meeting.  Right now, there are several Master Board members who are not favorable about Peridia taking on the maintenance task.  Our Grounds Supervisor claims that it takes 3 hours and 2 mowers just to cut the grass.  I am asking you to write or meet with your Board representative or send letters to the Master Board asking them to approve the maintenance of the vegetation which will minimize sound and dirt from the expanded highway. Also, plan on attending the Master Board meeting  February 23 at 1:30PM.
 
Here is a list of the concessions the county has agreed to:
 
  1. No Thru Traffic or No Truck Traffic signs at Peridia entrance
  2. Traffic signal at 44th/45th Sts. intersection
  3. Left turn accelleration lanes at Sabal Harbor Dr.
  4. 11 Foot travel lanes
  5. No left turn into 7 Eleven at SR70 & 45th St.
  6. Restrict construction vehicles from parking on Peridia easement unless Tenporary Construction Easement is issued.  (Peridia must agree)
  7. Baffled lighting in the median.
  8. Rubberized  binder added to roadway pavement to reduce traffic noise
  9. Install landscaping if Peridia agrees to maintain it.
  10. Install 12ft. median if Traffic Safety agrees.  Most medians are 16ft. as is the median on Lockwood Ridge.
I am forwarding you a notice I received from Trudy Gerena, Senior Public Information Officer  of Manatee County inviting you to attend a public information meeting on the 44th Ave. extension project.  Project staff will be available to answer  your questions.  While the focus is primarily 44th Ave., you will still get a better idea of the whole project.

Rats and Pests
     Rats have been sighted in Sabal Key, and also have invaded some of our buildings. Since they are attracted to pet feces and garbage, please pick up after your dog and deposit it in the dumpster, not behind the bushes or near your home. Also do NOT leave full trash bags on your stoop, but carry them to the dumpster. 

Sabal Key Dumpsters
     There has been a lot of illegal dumping in the Key dumpsters. We urge the residents noticing people from outside the community using the dumpsters to write down the license plate and make of the car and give that info to Ken or send an email through this website. We would like to start fining those who aren't using the dumpsters correctly and track down those using the dumpsters who don't live in the community.
NOTE: If you notice a dumpster lid open, please close it...another preventive measure to keep pests out.

Community Pool
Please make sure you clean-up for yourself to keep the area clean for all the residents.  And remember to abide by all the Pool Rules.

Neighborhood Safety

Please keep an eye out for yourself and your neighbors and remember to call the police if you notice any foul play.  Make sure you secure your home, keeping your garage door closed even while home cuts down on easy access, as does locking your screen and slider doors to your lanai.  Do not leave valuables in plain site, especially in cars parked in your driveway, parking spaces or in front of your home.  Keeping your outside lights can be a good deterrent to keeping prowlers away.  We want to keep Sabal Harbour and Sabal Key safe communities, we do have the police patrolling often, but do not hesitate to call them for any reason.
