Irrigation Issues Please report any common ground irrigation
issues to your Johns Creek
Field Operations Manager at
We appreciate the extra eyes in helping to
control our water costs.
Also... Please NO PARKING
on common area grass sections.
Parking on the common areas throughout Johns Creek
causes costly damage to the turf and
irrigation as well. Please note, that these common areas
are NOT an extension of your property. These repair
costs are then shared by ALL homeowners throughout
Johns Creek. We appreciate your cooperation.

School Bus Safety!
Florida school buses carry precious cargo – our children. Motorists should always be alert and drive with caution around school buses and in school zones where children may be present. Motorist and School Bus Safety Tips:
• All drivers moving in either direction on a two-way street must stop for a school bus displaying a stop signal, and must remain stopped until the road is clear of children AND the school bus stop arm is withdrawn.
• On a highway divided by a paved median, all drivers moving in either direction must stop for a school bus display-ing a stop signal, and must remain stopped until the road is clear of children AND the school bus stop arm is with-drawn.
• On a highway divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least 5 feet wide, drivers moving in the opposite direction do not have to stop for the bus (painted lines or pavement markings are not considered barriers). Howev-er, these motorists should slow down and watch for students loading or unloading from the bus.
• Be alert and watch for children especially near schools, bus stops, school buses and in school parking lots.
• Pay extra attention to lower speed limits in school zones.
• Watch for and obey signals from school crossing guards.
• Only drive or park in authorized areas to drop off or pick up children at school. Each illegal pass-by could result in a tragic injury or fatality of a student. The inconvenience of an extra few seconds spent waiting for a stopped school bus is insignificant compared to the loss of a child’s life. Drivers who improperly pass a stopped school bus commit a moving violation subject to citation and will be required to complete a basic Driver Improvement Course upon conviction. Safety at the Bus Stop:
• Arrive at the bus stop about five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.
• Never sit on the roadway or the curb while waiting for your bus; wait in a safe place away from the road.
• Never speak to strangers at the bus stop or get into a car with a stranger. Always tell your parents, the bus driver and a teacher at school if a stranger tries to talk to you or pick you up.
• When the bus stops, wait for the driver’s signal that it is safe to cross the road or board the bus.
• If crossing the street, look left, right and left again. Make eye contact and make sure your bus driver can see you as you cross the street.
• Never walk behind the school bus and stay away from the bus wheels at all times. Safety on the Bus:
• Know your bus driver’s name and bus number.
• Remain seated at all times and keep the aisle clear.
• Don’t put your head, hands or arms out the window.
• Stop talking and remain silent when the bus comes to a railroad crossing so the driver can hear if a train is ap-proaching.
Avoid any loud or disruptive behavior that could distract the bus driver from safely operating the bus.

Florida is the lightning capital of the United States and it is ranked as the
number one state for deaths due to lightning.
Did you know that lightning kills more people in the U.S.
than hurricanes and tornadoes combined?
Lightning travels at the speed of light, while thunder travels at the speed of sound.
A single bolt of lightning can discharge about 100 million bolts of electricity and can
travel as far as 10 miles from a cloud. It does not need to be dark directly overhead.
If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance!
It has been known to travel through clear air and strike 10 miles from the
storm like a bolt out of the blue!
Lightning is actually 5 times hotter than the sun’s surface!
With all of this knowledge and critical information we’d like to remind you of
Johns Creek’s thunderstorm policy. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we will close
the facility for 30 minutes. Every time thunder is heard or lightning is seen, the clock
is restarted to 30 minutes. This is strictly enforced for your safety!
No life is worth the risk!

Hurricane Safety and
Preparedness
The time to plan for a disaster is BEFORE one happens. Make sure that you are prepared for
hurricane season now. Last year was a real eye opener for St Johns County. We had our first
major storm in years. All things considered, we were very lucky and while we all experienced some
disruptions in services, it could have been much worse.
Just as we have plans in place to take care of our amenity center, so should you have plans in place for
your home and family in the event of any emergency.
A few items to consider:
• Make sure that the amenity center has your correct email address. We will keep you updated with
important community information in the event of an emergency
• Update your pet’s shots now - pet friendly shelters are limited and your pets will need to be im-
munized.
• Purchase a water/fire-proof safe for important documents.
• Update your homeowner’s policy now. Your home value may have changed. Does your policy
reflect the true value of your home?
• Document and take photos of valuable household items.
• And many more…
For more tips on preparing for an event we all hope never happens, please see the
