POSSIBLE COYOTE SPOTTED IN OUR COMMUNITY
(posted: Thursday, August 13, 2026)
A fellow SW resident saw a possible coyote on a lawn at the southeast corner of our community earlier this week.
If you spot a coyote, and it becomes aggressive, please call the Florida Game and Wildlife dispatch line at 407-275-4150 ext. 7. Also, please let your Board know by promptly calling our message line at (321) 216-2053.
The Board wants all residents and their pets to be safe.
Following are suggested ways you can protect yourself and your pets:
-
Never feed coyotes and do not place food outside that will attract coyotes or other wildlife. It is illegal to feed coyotes in Florida in a manner that is likely to create or creates a public nuisance.
-
Clean up pet food, fallen fruit and seed around bird feeders – coyotes are opportunistic feeders and can be drawn to these types of food sources.
-
Secure garbage cans and compost in animal-proof containers.
-
Encourage wildlife to nest or den in natural areas by closing off crawl spaces under houses and other buildings to prevent them from resting or raising their young in areas around your home.
-
Talk with your neighbors and ask them to follow these same suggestions.

PROBLEM WITH THE COMMUNITY'S ENTRANCE GATE
(posted: Sunday, August 9, 2026, updated Thursday, August 13, 2026)
On Saturday, August 8, 2026, the entrance gate at the community entrance failed in a locked open condition. Numerous attempts to reboot the system failed to produce desired results. The service provider has been out to inspect the gate system and determined that a circuit board has failed. A replacement board has been ordered and will be installed shortly after receipt.
While the entrance gate is awaiting repair, the exit gate has also been locked open.
Both gates will be placed back in service when the entrance gate has been repaired.

PROBLEM WITH CALLBOX AT THE COMMUNITY'S ENTRANCE
(posted: Thursday, July 30, 2026, updated Thursday, August 13, 2026)
The problem, where dialing the assigned 3-digit guest codes from the callbox fails to connect to resident's phones (so residents can open the gate remotely by pressing "9"), is affecting all SW residents.
The service provider has been out to inspect the gate system and determined that a circuit board has failed. A replacement board has been ordered and will be installed shortly after receipt.
