A message from the
PRESIDENT + Now introducing your communty’s Observer newspaper After a long absence, our community newsletter is back and we hope you enjoy it. The association has entered into an agreement with the Palm Coast Observer to publish a community newspaper, which will serve as the newsletter. As you can see, it is titled the Plantation Bay Observer, and this paper will be distributed via mail within our community, just as the newsletter was. Staff from the Observer will write all of the content, publish photographs, attend meetings and perform all of the other functions that a reporter would do. The Observer is also handling all of the advertising, the printing and mailing of the newsletter. Our focus is in providing essential news residents need to have, but also include items of interest that are fun and lighter in content. We plan on covering things like special resident events here in Plantation Bay, residents involved with special causes and other items that your neighbors may find interesting. If you would like to suggest ideas or topics for the next issue, Community

too many visitors? By Shanna Fortier | Community Editor
Second Plantation Bay garage sale gets nixed The board voted 5-3 against a communitywide November sale.
T
The Plantation Bay Community Association Board of Directors voted five to three in its June 30 meeting not to allow a second communitywide outdoor sale in November, with “no” votes coming from John Gamin, Russ Reinke, Don Maresca, Al Capelli and Marty Garbarino. “It is most unfortunate that in a community that overwhelm-
ingly supported the May 17 sale, that this occurred,” said Mary Lou Bercarich, one of the event organizers. “I was saddened that they voted against it. There was an onslaught of people that were appalled with the decision.” The board has previously voted to amend the community association laws to allow for a communitywide sale, that
would adhere to 11 rules set forth by the board with the understanding that there would be not more than two sales a year. About 60 households participated in the May 17 sale. The agenda item calling for a review of the May 17 sale prompted a discussion that lasted the better part of the

PRESIDENT Good news for the Westlake Homeowners Association is that we have seen a sharp increase in the number of homes being built over the past few years, and sales have continued to improve. With this comes new neighbors and friends, so please give all our new residents a warm welcome to Plantation Bay, one of the best communities in Florida. The association this year has also made a big commitment on improving common grounds, most notably the landscaping. In addition to the ground cover that was installed on the corner of Bay Drive and Plantation Bay Drive, we will also be focusing on additional fertilization of existing beds and will be installing additional plantings where needed. Last, but certainly not least, is weed control throughout our beautiful community. Additional attention will also be focused on maintaining all common areas to the Plantation Bay standards we all expect. All other areas, including entry ways to the community and light fixtures, have been put on a maintenance schedule, along with pressure washing. If you see anything that might need additional attention, please notify property management. We hope everyone is having a great summer. I look forward to seeing everyone out and about in our beautiful community. — Gregory P. Brousse, Westlake Homeowners Association president

Modifications Committee members needed
I have a business item to announce: The Plantation Bay Community Association is looking for volunteers for our Modifications Committee. Below is a brief description of what is involved with this committee. Our documents require that all changes to the appearance of your home and/or property require approval from the Modifications Committee prior to the work being done. This authority is granted to the Modifications Committee in section 11.02 of our CC&Rs. Generally, all changes to the exterior of your home or property must be approved. This would include building additions or modifications, the addition of a pool, painting of the home or driveway, the addition of stone work and pavers, shutters and awnings, new landscaping schemes, tree removal, fences, and any other changes in appearance of your home or lot. Changes to lots that abut the golf course require a review by the Country Club in addition to the modifications committee. The committee generally meets the first Monday of each month. Its members receive information regarding applications for modification in advance of the meeting.
Committee members may need to visit a property prior to the meeting, and/or speak with residents regarding their modification in order to better understand their request. The project is evaluated with respect to our documents. The committee then meets at a noticed meeting open to residents to discuss and process the requests. Residents are then notified of the disposition of their request. Decisions cannot be made based upon personal likes and dislikes. Florida Statute 720, which governs Homeowners Associations, states the following: (Section 720.3035) “The authority of an association or any architectural, construction improvement, or other such similar committee of an association to review and approve plans and specifications for the location, size, type, or appearance of any structure or other improvement on a parcel, or to enforce standards for the external appearance of any structure or improvement located on a parcel, shall be permitted only to the extent that the authority is specifically stated or reasonably inferred as to such location, size, type, or appearance in the declaration of covenants or other published guidelines and standards authorized by the declaration of covenants.” If this is a volunteer position you might be interested in, please submit to the management office in writing your name and contact information, and any applicable skills you may have. — Kathy Pounds
celebrate good times By Shanna Fortier | Community Editor
Congrats to the newlyweds! Don and Leslie Spillman married June 21, at the Prestwick Park gazebo. “We have been best friends for six years, and we realized that we were soulmates,” Leslie Spillman said. The couple move to Plantation Bay in May, to meet in the middle — Leslie moving from Orlando and Don moving from Jacksonville. The said the park was the perfect place for them to say their marriage vows, with the gazebo, the lake and the fountain. “We wanted to get married here, where we live, because we just bought a home and are starting our lives together,” the bride said.

BOARD / FROM PAGE 1 hour. The main concern by board members was the increase in visitors to the community on the day of the sale. “I went to all the addresses and saw a lot of white stickers,” Garbarino said. “How many extra people came through from outside?” Reinke, who was adamantly against the first sale and the newly proposed sale, said that he counted 17 white stickers on dashboards and noticed several examples of traffic congestion. “I moved here because you couldn’t have garage sales,” he said. “If it builds, there is going to be traffic problems. I’m not in favor of them; we shouldn’t have to deal with them. I don’t like people from the outside coming in and going through our gate.” Gamin said that he felt secure in saying that the sale was not advertised outside of the community and that there is no way to build a concreate barrier strong enough to keep visitors out of the community. “The people that had the white stickers, we don’t know why they were here,” Gamin said. “I’ve been waiting to hear about the traffic congestions, but it doesn’t sound to me like much was violated. If people had a good time ,then so be it. I think we are over emotionalizing the white sticker.” Director of Security Donna Velardi said there were no issues reported as far as the sale and that no one was issued a pass unless they were called in by a resident. “I can’t give you an accurate count because we didn’t have any issues,” she said. Several residents spoke for and against the sale at the meeting. Most raising concerns about the rules changing. Resident Alby Corcoran spoke against the sale, saying that she bought in Plantation Bay because she didn’t want the standard of living that
is associated with garage sales. “I thought we would be free of things like that,” she said. “I’m concerned how quickly things get changed. What is going to change next? It wasn’t bad, but what’s the next change? “This is something we were really invested in is not having these type of things. Why are we catering to 3% of the population — it’s not a question but more of a statement.” The proposal for the second sale came from Helen Siegel, saying that many snowbird have expressed interest in participating; however, they are not in Florida in May. Siegel also proposed amending the time of the sale from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to the new times of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. She also requested that additional signage be placed around the community to help residents find participating homes better and more advertising to residents. With the denial of the November sale, Siegel said she will seek to hold another sale in the fall of 2015.

Other board news
The LED sign at the Old Dixie Highway entrance to the community is slated on the agenda for the July 23 Flagler County Commission meeting. The board voted to approve the temporary appointment of Frank Karins as interim member and chairman of the Modifications Committee and Siegal as committee member. Reinke called the appointment into question in regard to the fairness to hand-pick someone to a committee without proper vetting. He was the only board member to vote against the appointment. Karins and Siegal will serve on the committee until there is a line of volunteers to fill the open spots. The board also discussed property insurance in the community and the option of increasing coverage of the guard house at the Old Dixie Highway entrance. No action was taken at this time.

Plantation Bay Community OBSERVE AND REPORT By Shanna Fortier | Community Editor
Meet Donna Velardi,
GATE KEEPER
As Donna Velardi walked back into the guard house at the Old Dixie Highway entrance to Plantation Bay, she stopped and took notice of a vehicle leaving the property. It was a resident she had chatted with before, and she took time to compliment him on his newly restored truck. “I’m a people person,” she said. “I enjoy communicating and helping. I enjoy the residents.” In her role as director of security for Plantation Bay, she gets to communicate with people all day long, a change from the six years she worked in property

management. With a law enforcement background, when the opening in security came about in April 2013, Velardi jumped at the chance. She said the position allows her to do some of the things she enjoys most, such as being outside, teaching and developing staff and interacting with people on a regular basis. “In this position you have to be a mother, a father, a psychiatrist, a mentor for employees and sometimes residents, too,” she said. “To try to put it into words, there are a lot of faces I have to wear.” But Velardi said her main function is gate access and her staff of 20 security guards. The staff maintains both gates, observes the community while on patrol and reports anything out of the ordinary. But Velardi stressed that although the security staff is there to protect the residents, they are not law enforcement and for emergencies, including medical, fire, theft and vandalism, residents should call 911. Velardi said it is hard to summarize the favorite part of her

“I get up every morning and look forward to coming to work,” Velardi said. “It’s nothing more peaceful than driving through the development. I get to ob-
serve everything and see a lot. There’s so much to take in here, if people would just take the time to take a deep breath and observe.”

Florida Laws for Cyclists
INBRIEF
316.2065 (6) Persons riding bicycles upon a roadway may not ride more than two abreast except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles. Persons riding two abreast may not impede traffic when traveling at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing and shall ride within a single lane. In Florida, the bicycle is defined as a vehicle and the bicyclist is a driver. Bicyclists have the same rights to the roadways, and must obey the same laws as the drivers of other vehicles. These laws include stopping for a stop sign and red light, riding with the flow of traffic, using lights at night, yielding the right-of-way when entering a roadway and yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks.
+ Changes to CapSure Please note there have been changes made for your choice of visitor selection when you log into CapSure to schedule your visitors or service individuals. The choice of contractor created some issues in CapSure. If your choice is a “contractor,” the pass will be issued for one day, unless you extend the duration of the pass. If you call your visitor in, you would need to advise the security officer you speak with that you would like the pass to be for more than one day. Previously, when “contractor” was selected, the duration was for 30 days. Some residents have input “serviceperson” as a contractor, and the pass issued was for 30 days, although the pass should have been for one visit. Example: A/C repair.
Recent law change
A key 2012 amendment in the regulations allows bicycle lights to flash.
+ Speeding It is a priority to improve on our speeding problem in 2014. We are working with the Sheriff’s Department to help resolve our current incidents. The posted speed limit in Plantation Bay is to be followed by all. Our roads are governed by the state of Florida traffic laws. All residents’ and visitors’ safety is the first priority of security. When we witness a driver disobeying a traffic law, we do make record of the model and tag of the vehicle when the infraction occurs for future incidents that may arise.
+ Observe and report There has been miscommunication about security’s responsibility. Security’s job is to observe and report. We are not law enforcement, so when an emergency arises, please call 911 first and then notify security. Security observes the incident and, when asked by law enforcement to assist, we assist. There have been requests for security to monitor traffic at the entrance and exit of the U.S. 1 south gate. When the light malfunctions, please call Florida Highway Administration and/or the Department of Transportation. You can email the above with any questions you may have, as they govern U.S. 1. Security cannot help with the stop light malfunction. 0000321038-01
A bicyclist must obey all traffic controls and signals. A bicyclist must use a fixed, regular seat for riding. No bicycle may be used to carry more persons at one time than the number for which it is designed or equipped. Parents and guardians must not knowingly allow a child or minor ward to violate any provisions of the law. Every bicycle must be equipped with brakes which allow the rider to stop within 25 feet from a speed of 10 mph on dry pavement. When riding on sidewalks or in crosswalks, a bicyclist has the same rights and duties as a pedestrian. Bicyclists on sidewalks or crosswalks must yield and give an audible signal before passing.
Security also warns of feeding gators. This gator was removed from the property a couple months ago.
+ Cyclists
Reminder: Trash is not to be placed out by the street prior to 6 p.m. the night before collection. Trash cans are to be removed from the curb by 6 p.m. the day of pickup. Trimming of bushes and trees which are left for the trash company have rules which apply to the amount and size of the limbs. Property management has all the required information for the restrictions from the trash companies. You may also contact your trash company. Residents who reside in Flagler County, contact Waste Pro and the residents who reside in Volusia County, call Republic. Landscapers who trim bushes or trees that have lawn debris during the week must take the debris with them, unless the work is completed the day prior to your scheduled debris pickup.
The community has become very active with bicycle riders, walkers and joggers. Please remember all bicycle riders and golf cart operators are required to follow all Florida traffic laws. Should you have any need to contact security the numbers for the gates are as follows: Old Dixie Highway entrance, 437-2496; and U.S. 1 entrance, 6725680. — Donna Velardi, director of security for Plantation Bay

sweet tooth By Shanna Fortier | Community Editor
Pantzers serve big scoops at family ice cream shop Plantation Bay residents Leon, Linda and Michael Pantzer are putting their ‘sweet teeth’ into business with their ice cream shop, Big Scoop Ice Cream, at Destination Daytona. When Leon and Linda Pantzer and their son, Michael, set out to pick the ice cream for their family-run ice cream shop in Destination Daytona, they tastetested ice cream at small dairies from Georgia all the way down to the Florida Keys. They found themselves at the Ice Cream Club Inc., in Boynton Beach, to make their final selections. There were 120 flavors available, and the Pantzers tasted every single one rating them yes or no. If all three tasters gave the ice cream a thumbs up, then it was a must order. From there, the list went to two “yes” votes until the list hit 50 flavors. Leon Pantzer said that not a single flavor chosen for the shop was liked by only one family member. Big Scoop Ice Cream opened March 6, just in time for Bike Week. “We didn’t know what to expect,” Leon Pantzer said while sitting at a picnic table in front of the shop. A multicolored umbrella shaded the sun above the table, and motorcycles rode by

on their way to the Harley-Davidson shop, which is located next to the ice cream shop. “We are pleasantly surprised. We found the bikers to be a fantastic group of people.” The Pantzers moved to Plantation Bay three years ago and are active in the tennis community. Linda Pantzer also serves on the CERT team. The idea for the ice cream shop came six months ago, when they were looking for a project to do together as a family. “We’ve never been in this type of business before, but I eat a lot of ice cream, so it fit,” Leon Pantzer said with a laugh. It was a risk, and somewhat of a big experiment. But with a flyby-the-seat-of-their-pants attitude, common sense decisions, and trial and error, the trio said the risk has been paying off. The concept of Big Scoop was to give customers a good buy for their dollar — a nice big scoop to live up to their name. “There’s nothing more disappointing than having more cone Photos by Shanna Fortier than ice cream,” Pantzer said. Leon and Linda Pantzer and their son, Michael, opened Big Scoop Ice Cream in March.

They’ve got you covered! The Plantation Bay CERT team held its quarterly meeting July 7, which included a training in mass casualty incidents. Do you know what to do when an emergency hits your community? The Plantation Bay CERT team does. The Community Emergency Response Team is trained in search and rescue, medical, disaster psychology and fire suppression and is the first response for the community until emergency services can arrive on scene. CERT is a national program that was developed in the 1980s in Los Angeles as a direct response to this question: If there’s an earthquake, could FEMA and Homeland Security handle the carnage? The answer was “no,” said Ross Hendrix, liaison officer for the Plantation Bay CERT. In Plantation Bay, the mission of the team is to communicate with the residents on safety to mitigate injury or property damage in case of disaster. Also, CERT will be first on scene in case of a disaster to stabilize the situation until first responders arrive. The Plantation Bay team is supported by Flagler County Emergency Services and funded through a FEMA grant. All the team’s training is provided by Flagler County. “It’s not a fly-by-night thing,” Hendrix said. “All procedures and trainings have been developed by FEMA.” Although Planation Bay has never been hit directly by a storm, Hendrix said that in 2004 the surge of back-to-back hurricanes in North Florida gave residents a good taste of what could happen. In the midst of hurricane season, Hendrix encourages all residents to think about storm season before it arrives. He stressed that the biggest resource for residents is the Flagler Emergency Services website,

PET CARE ITEMS
The CERT team holds an annual practice activation in Prestwick Park. flagleremergency.com, and the Code Red alert system. There is no siren system in Florida, but Code Red alerts residents by phone. The team, which started in 2010 with just four members, has grown to 38 members with five more preparing to complete training in October. All but two members of the team are retirees, and it includes former business executives, fire chiefs, nurses, Homeland Security agents and police officers. “We have the gamut,” Hendrix said. If interested in joining the team, contact Hendrix at 437-9592 or rphendrix@att. net.
