Arbor Greene’s Semi-Annual Garage Sale

It’s that time again to break out the things that we don’t use or need anymore.

Arbor Greene’s Bi-Annual Garage Sale will be held on October 16th, from

8AM-12 Noon.

Planning to sell items this year? Here are a few helpful ideas to sell your good-

ies:

- Place big ticket items next to the street, such as strollers and furniture.

- Arrange tables so items are neatly displayed to allow people to inspect them.

- Keep all books and CDs with spines showing.

- Have an electrical outlet or extension cord available so that people can test

electronic products.

Or are you planning on buying treasures? Here are a few suggestions for buyers:

- Plan a route and start early. Early birds get the worm.

- Wear sensible walking shoes.

- Make sure you bring smaller bills, in case the seller doesn't have change.

- Clean out your car so you have enough space for hauling your purchases. Oh, if you like to haggle, don’t drive up

in a luxury car. Sellers probably won’t be as compromising.

Donate Unsold Yard Sale Items and Help Change Lives

Wondering what to do with items that don't sell during the Community garage sale? Donate them to Goodwill!!

The Goodwill trailer will be located near the Community Center on Arbor Creek Drive near the tennis courts on

Saturday, October 16th, from 9AM - 4PM to accept your donations. Goodwill will provide a receipt for tax pur-

poses.

You can also drop off donations at the Goodwill Wesley Chapel Store off of SR-56 and I-75. If you have ques-

tions, please call Goodwill at 888-279-1988 x 1440. Your donations of clothing and household items support

Goodwill's services for people who are disabled, elderly or unemployed. Thank you in advance, your donations are

changing lives.

Household chemicals, paint etc. may be taken to the Hillsborough County Collection site on the first three Satur-

days of each month. For more information and location, call the Solid Waste Management Division at 272-5680.

Community Activities

Message from the Arbor Greene HOA

Florida Friendly Landscape -The HOA has incorpo-

rated Florida Friendly landscape and sod options into

our Design Review Guidelines. The full amended

guideline will be posted on the Arbor Greene website.

Previously, 20% of the lot was required to be land-

scaped and now up to 40% will be allowed. Rain barrels

and composting (non-food waste only) options are now

available.

All changes in landscaping or grass or the addition of

rain barrels and composts must be submitted to the De-

sign Review Board via an Alteration Application, and

approved before any work is begun. Failure to comply

may result in fines or legal action.

Behr Paints - The HOA has been updating the exterior

paint color choices for homes. Behr paints will be offer-

ing Arbor Greene residents 20% off paint products pur-

chased at Home Depot. A sample paint book will be

available with acceptable paint colors for homeowners

to view before choosing a color palette for their home.

By the beginning of October, the book will be available

in Home Depot and at the Arbor Greene Community

Center Office. Homeowners are not obligated to use

Behr paint products, but are welcome to view the sam-

ple book before choosing a color for their home.

Satellite Dishes/Antennas - According to the Arbor

Greene Design Review Guidelines, satellite dishes and

antennas are not permitted unless size and location are

approved by the Design Review Board. There are many

homeowners who have installed unapproved satellite

dishes in the front landscape beds of their home or on

their homes in view of the street and neighbors. If you

are making any changes to the exterior of your home, an

Alteration Application must be submitted with five (5)

additional copies and received by Ameri-Tech one week

prior to the scheduled meeting date or it may be de-

ferred to the following month’s meeting. All of the

HOA and Design Review guidelines are posted online

for your review. Http://www.arborgreene.org/arbor-

greene/downloads.html.

Your cooperation in keeping Arbor Greene a neighbor-

hood everyone can enjoy is appreciated. If you have any

questions or concerns about HOA issues, please contact

Jeff Couturier, Ameri-Tech Property Management at

813-968-8008 ext: 102, or e-mail:

Great Tax-Deductible Employee Benefit

Which Can be Limited to One or More

Executives and their Spouses

The government is expecting crushing long-term care

costs, so it has created a tremendous incentive for busi-

ness owners to buy LTC insurance (LTCi). Often, the

LTCi premiums are entirely deductible to the business

with no taxation to the executive, neither when the

premium is paid, nor when benefits are received. Learn

more today! Ask for a complimentary proposal for your

business.

Remember, the earlier you buy LTCi, the less it costs

and the more benefits you secure.

To discuss your options, or to make an appointment,

call today. Ask for Frank at:

“The 5 Most Common Mistakes Buyers

of Life Insurance Make”

Handbill Laws and No Solicitation

Arbor Greene is a “No Solicitation” Community. Call Tampa Police at 231-6130

when you observe a person depositing handbills on private property (home, vehi-

cles or mailboxes).

Section 6-171: Handbill Distribution on Private Property

A. It is unlawful for any individual to deliver, distribute or place, or attempt to

deliver, distribute or place handbills on private property upon which is

posted a reasonably conspicuous sign reading “No Advertising “ or “ No Solicitation”.

B. It is unlawful for any business advertising by means of handbills to direct, encourage or allow any

individual, employee or independent contractor distributing handbills on behalf of the business to

deliver, distribute or place handbills on private property upon which is posted a reasonably con-

spicuous sign reading “No Advertising” or “No Solicitation”.

C. Any violation shall be punished as provided in Tampa Code Section 1-6.

Section 6-172: Handbill Distribution on Vehicles

A. It is unlawful for any individual to place, throw, deposit, drop off any handbill onto any motor

vehicle, or occupant thereof, in operation or momentarily stopped on any public street within the

city, or stopped standing or parked in any parking space on any city owned or operated parking lot,

garage or other property.

B. Any violation shall be punished as provided in Tampa Code Section 1-6.

The Gate House Number Change

The Arbor Greene CDD Gate House phone number will

change and will no longer be available to callers effec-

tive October 1st.

The gate attendants’ functions are to greet and account

for visitors entering the community. With an average of

over 800 visitors per day entering the community, an-

swering the telephone from callers with questions not

related to their primary duties is disruptive and slows

the processing of visitors into the community.

Residents expecting visitors or guests between 10PM

and 6AM should provide a written list to the gate atten-

dant containing the names of their guests and their ex-

pected arrival time. The list may be delivered to the gate

house or submitted on-line using the CDD Online Con-

tact Request Form and “select” Contact CDD on the Ar-

bor Greene website at www.ArborGreene.org. The

guest information is required if the resident does not

want to receive a call from the gate attendant to obtain

permission for the guests to enter the community during

the hours above. The on-line form must be submitted

prior to 3:30PM on the day of and prior to the arrival of

the visitors.

Halloween Safety

Tips

Here are some tips to en-

sure the safety of your

children:

1. Be sure younger chil-

dren are accompanied by

a trusted adult when

Trick-or-Treating. Walk

with your head up and be

aware of your surroundings.

2. Accompany younger children to the door of every

house you approach and make sure parents and guardi-

ans are familiar with every home and all people from

which the children receive treats.

3. Teach children to never enter a home without prior

permission from their parents/guardians.

4. Teach children to never approach a vehicle, occupied

or not, unless they know the owner and are accompa-

nied by a parent or guardian. Don't approach unfamiliar

pets and animals.

5. Make sure all children wear reflective clothing and

carry a glow stick when out at dusk and at night. Carry a

flashlight with fresh batteries after dark.

6. Make sure children are able to see and breathe prop-

erly and easily when using facial masks. All costumes

and masks should be clearly marked as flame resistant.

7. Teach children to never approach a home that is not

well lit both inside and outside.

8. Teach children to stay alert and remember any suspi-

cious incidents and report them to their parents, guardi-

ans, and/or the proper authority.

9. Teach children if anyone tries to grab them to make a

scene; loudly yell this person is not my father /mother;

and make every effort to get away by kicking, scream-

ing, and resisting.

10. Stay on the sidewalks and out of the streets. Cross

only at intersections. Walk. Do not run!

11. Respect other people and their property. Don't cut

across yards and stay out of back yards. Don't trample

through flower beds and gardens.

12. Always watch for cars backing up or turning.

13. Don't eat any candy until it's inspected under bright

lights, for tampering.

14. Be polite and say "thank you."

Conservation areas will be preserved and protected in their natural state,

although some intrusions will be allowed as expressly set forth in this para-

graph.

Within these areas, no person shall:

- Construct buildings or structures associated with dwelling units.

- Remove plants or animals from these areas or plant plants or release ani-

mals into these areas except with permission of the Declarant or the CDD.

- Remove water from the wetlands, lakes or surficial aquifer without per-

mission of the Board and, in no event, in amounts that would alter the es-

sential character of these areas.

- Use pesticides or fertilizers.

- Undertake any activity which would disrupt or harm the plants, animals and natural ecosystems in these areas.

- Undertake other activities, except as expressly allowed below.

Within these areas, the following minimal activities are allowed:

- Encroachment from drainage systems, or similar activities which will not impact the continued viability of these

areas will be allowed.

- Movement through these areas in non-organized public recreation activities.

- Planting of native species to enhance the natural systems or wildlife value.

A Message from the Neighborhood Watch Directors

According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America. Identity

theft occurs when a person uses your name, address, Social Security number (SSN), bank or credit card ac-

count number or other personal information without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes.

Criminals may open a fraudulent bank account, make purchases on your existing credit cards, use your good credit

to secure loans, use your name and background information to get a job, and use your name during an arrest and

when they fail to appear for a court date, an arrest warrant may be issued in your name. They may also change your

billing address and order new ATM, debit, or credit cards. Since you will not receive the bills, you are unlikely to

notice the problem for some time.

Criminals steal your information in a variety of ways: Taking your wallet; going through your trash and remov-

ing unshredded credit card and loan applications or documents which contain your SSN, birth date or phone num-

ber; stealing newly issued credit cards, utility bills, insurance statements, etc. from unsecured mailboxes; complet-

ing a change of address form to divert your mail to another location; placing malicious software on your computer

which can steal your user IDs and passwords, sending e-mail messages pretending to be a legitimate business and

requesting your personal data etc. Crooks continually change the ways they steal information.

Nothing can guarantee protection against identity theft in all circumstances. However, you can reduce your

risk by attempting to control your personal information. Decrease access to your personal data: secure your wal-

let while at work or at public places like a gym; store your SSN and birth certificates in a safe location such as a

bank deposit box; avoid giving out personal data over the Internet or phone; on your computer, update your fire-

walls and install anti-virus software that checks for spyware; buy a cross-cut shredder; do not display your full name

in the phone book and consider an unlisted number; do not have unnecessary personal data such as SSN or driver’s

license numbers printed on your checks; etc.

School Bus Etiquette

Unfortunately, as the

school year starts, we

fall back into our old

habits at the school

bus pick-up points.

We’ve all seen the

lines of cars parked

with parents and kid-

dies waiting for the

bus, blocking traffic

and making exit from and entry to some communities

(the Landing and now the Estuary and Enclave) dif-

ficult, if not impossible for other residents. It is against

the law, (besides being extremely dangerous), to park

in a way that impedes normal traffic flow. The Tampa

Police Department has been notified of the situation and

will stop by from time to time. Warnings may not be

given. So, ask yourself: am I really going to park here

and block the road today, and possibly get a ticket? Or,

maybe I should walk them to the bus stop; it’s beautiful

out and it’s great exercise? Parents: Do not stop on

road right of ways to pick up your child/children.

Continued from page 12 - A Message from the Neighborhood Watch Directors

If your identity is stolen, you can attempt to reduce the harm to your name, finances and credit history if you

detect it early. To help detect identity theft, carefully review your bank, credit card, and other financial accounts

and report anything which appears suspicious. Order your credit report at least once a year and review it carefully.

You can receive a free credit report annually from one of the three credit reporting agencies – Experian, TransUn-

ion, or Equifax; scrutinize the report in detail. Examine your mail for signs of identity theft, e.g., receipt of credit

cards you did not apply for, missing financial account statements, etc.

If you determine you are a victim of identity theft, immediately report it to the Tampa Police Department.

Report it to your bank, creditors, and financial institutions, including asking them to put “fraud alerts” on ac-

counts which have not been compromised and request them to not change your billing address without your written

notification and verification. Establish all new passwords on all accounts. Close accounts which have been used

fraudulently. Cancel your ATM/debit card if it has been stolen. By letter and phone, tell credit reporting agencies

you are a victim of identity theft and ask them to place a “fraud alert” on your credit profile to help stop thieves

from opening accounts in your name. Contact Federal Trade Commission to file a complaint; your data will help

law enforcement agencies in their investigations. Notify your employer if you suspect your payroll and/or retire-

ment records have been compromised. You may also need to contact the Post Office, Social Security Administra-

tion, Driver’s License Bureau, etc. depending on what was stolen or compromised.

These tips are not all inclusive so you will want to thoroughly educate yourself on the ways thieves steal your

identity, how you can help prevent identity theft, and what you should do if it occurs.

If you would like to receive Tampa Police Department reports and additional security tips, please e-mail us at Ar-

[email protected] to be added to the e-mail distribution. Joining this e-mail group does not obligate

you to any other NWA activities, but should help you and your family to become better informed and more secure.
