Architectural Review Committee
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the next ARC Meetings will be held on the following Wednesday dates at 10:00 am on the Plantation Manor Porch: December 14, January 4, 2023. The Architectural Review Committee meets for planning purposes on the Plantation Manor Porch at 10:00 am on the Monday before an ARC meeting. All changes to your property that are visible on the outside require advance approval from the Architectural Review Committee. Application forms and ARC Guidelines may be obtained from the Community Services Association offi ce or printed from The Great Outdoors Community Services Association website at www.tgocsa. org. All completed ARC forms must be submitted to the CSA offi ce by Noon on the Wednesday before the next Wednesday meeting. Results will be available to pick up after the ARC meeting or from the CSA Offi ce. Be sure ALL necessary paperwork is included with your ARC application. No approval will be given without having all the required data available at the ARC Meeting for review. TGO property owners are encouraged to suggest modifi cations to the ARC Guidelines, which will be discussed during an annual review. Please submit them to the ARC Secretary, in writing, no later in the year than October 1.
Clearing Vegetation on CSA Property
Our Declaration of Covenants states that “No CSA land may be cleared of any vegetation without prior written permission from the Board of Directors or its designee. Unauthorized clearing of CSA property will result in a hearing, with possible fi nes and ordered replanting.” This only makes sense, as you would not cut vegetation on someone else’s property without permission fi rst. In order to track this better, we will require anyone seeking permission to cut vegetation on CSA property to fi ll out an ARC permit. An approved permit must include the CSA manager’s signature, and a copy of the permit will be fi led in your ARC fi le for documentation purposes.

Newcomers Orientation
The next Newcomer Orientation Meeting will be held in the Manor on Monday, January 16, 2023 from 11:30 am until 12:30 pm. Guest speakers from CSA, ARC, Nature Center, Golf, Activities, Firewise and Courtesy Patrol will share important information. Call Nancy Wagner at 607-542-6374 to reserve your spot.
Emergency Vehicle Protocol
Florida and TGO share the same vehicle and traffi c laws as the rest of the US: Everyone must yield to emergency vehicles. If there’s no shoulder on the road, simply stop to allow an emergency vehicle to pass. We have all been driving long enough to know this. Please, when you see emergency vehicles coming in with lights fl ashing, pull over and let them pass! It could be your loved ones they are here for.
Media Alert Phone Number 321-325-8715
The CSA offi ce has implemented a new number to send out important information to our community. Many of you may have seen this number come across as Potential Spam from Geneva, Florida. Please note that this is the TGO-CSA Media Alert number and 321-325-8715 should be added as a contact in your phones.
