Waterbrooke News & Market Report
Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | Dec 29 2022 Hello Waterbrooke! I hope everyone had an amazing winter Holiday and are prepared for 2023. As the sun sets on another year, may it rise again and shine light on new opportunities, perspectives, and adventures ahead! What's New and Upcoming in the 2023 year: Waterbrooke Website enhancement: Waterbrooke's website will be a main focus going into 2023 for growth and enhancement. Upcoming website changes/Updates: Calendar: Waterbrooke will make sure to update and maintain the community Calendar. This will be used to communicate meetings and or events. Reservation Platform - Clubhouse/Pool events: Once this program goes into effect, Residents will be able to reserve the Clubhouse/Pool section for a specified period of time each day. This will help organize and formalize the use of the amenity. Rules and regulations will also be applied to the reservation platform to make sure these facilities are used properly and respectfully. Documents and Vital Resources: All necessary documents used in the community will be placed on the site for ease of access. Gate Access: Residents will no longer use an individual PIN, but a community one that can be found on the website at all times. This community code is reset every three months and is intended to be used by residents ONLY. Guests can access the gates by using the directory to find the residence by scrolling to the desired name and pressing "call". The phone will ring the number that has been registered to the directory and "9" can be pressed by the resident to grant access through the Guest Gate. PIN Reset: As a reminder the new PIN will be activated on January 1st. The reset interval and information can be found on the Waterbrooke website. Areas under Repair: Splash Pad: This feature has been repaired and is in full operation. Thank you to all residents for your patience while this feature was under repair. Front Lake Fountain: We are still waiting for the last permit to be received by the installing company. We hope to have this fountain fully functional by the end of January. Clubhouse/Pool: General contractors will be working at the Clubhouse and Pool over the next week or two performing various maintenance and repairs. General grounds/Landscape: As the residents are very aware, many common areas are still under development. As the building group works to build and establish the Landscape and common grounds in Waterbrooke, there will be some areas that will be completed at a later time but will be completed before turnover of the association. Events: Townhall Meetings: Beginning this year Waterbrooke will host a quarterly Townhall meeting for all residents to attend if they would like to meet with the HOA Management staff, or if you have any questions/concerns you would like to bring to the associations attention. I will communicate with the community once these meetings have been scheduled via email and the Website Calendar. Garage Sales: Waterbrooke will organize 2 community Garage sales per year. One in the spring and one in the Fall. Plenty of advanced notice will be given before these events. Once the date has been set residents can find the related information on the website Calendar and will be notified by email communications. Community Events: Like the Garage sales Waterbrooke will host various other events throughout the year and will communicate these in a similar way. Following the organization, I will communicate these events by email and then post them on the website Calendar. Violations: For the most part Waterbrooke does a good job minimizing the violations in the community. The most common violations that happen here in Waterbrooke are Trash cans, Parking and Pet waste. Trashcans: Trashcans MUST me stored in a way that they are not visible. The most common storage places are in the back yard behind a fence or in the garage. If you have another storage area and that storage will make a visible change to your home, please submit an ARB application *link below* as all visible material changes must be reviewed by the association BOD. There is no cost for this process as Waterbrooke just wants to make sure the changes fall in line with your Governing Documents. All applications are reviewed within 30 days. Parking: Parking is not allowed on any street/curb except for deliveries and service vehicles that are only temporarily parked during business hours. As Waterbrooke grows in size and capacity the street parking will only become more of a safety issue. Any vehicle parked on the street can be subject to towing at the owners expense. Management is currently working on a program that will allow guest parking at the Clubhouse parking lot so long as the vehicle is only parked between the hours of 9:00 pm and 8:00 am. This system will use a pass for official use and records that will prevent the vehicle from being towed. When this program is ready to be used I will inform the community on how it will function and how to reserve temporary parking. Pets: Please make sure all pets are kept on a leash at all times if outside your residence or enclosed fence. Waterbrooke has many pet waste stations placed around the community for your convenience so we can keep the community clean. Please do not let your pet make a mess of another residents property and you MUST clean up after your pet if they do leave waste. It has been a pleasure being a part of your community and it’s growth. I wish everyone a very happy New Year and many days to come. Andrew Potchak, On-Site Community Manager SOURCE: POTHCAK,ANDREW. "Happy New Year!." RECEIVED BY KRISH D'ERRICO, 29 Dec 2022.

Waterbrooke News & Market Report
Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | Dec 1 2022 December is here! Time to close the 2022 year out and get ready for 2023! Gate systems: As most of you know by now, Waterbrooke has been experiencing intermittent issues with the gate system. Following many assessments, and system diagnostics, Waterbrooke will be undergoing a major upgrade of the gate system starting Dec 5/6th. This upcoming Monday the gate system will be locked open while the gate company completes this process. Due to the equipment being replaced, ALL gate entry devices MUST be re-programmed in order to be properly functional after the gate upgrade. Over the past couple months we have been collecting Gate Device Reprogramming forms that will be used to build our new directory database and to reprogram ALL gate devices. If you have not filled out one of these forms, please download the form *click the button below* and send this into gates@lelandmanagement.com - or - apotchak@lelandmanagement.com. PIN access: Waterbrooke recently converted to a Community Residential gate code that will be used by all residents and will be reset every three months. Personal PINs will no longer be used. This code can always be found on the Waterbrooke website near the bottom of the page following the log-in process *link below*. So this reset does not interfere with the Holidays, the current PIN will be active until 01/01/2023. The new PIN will be activated and uploaded to the website on the 1st. For security reasons I ask that you do not share the PIN on any social media or group communications. Any resident can log in to access the PIN or contact management to confirm residency. Resident Directory: All residents should have a directory listing in the gate system. This directory listing is how guests can be allowed entrance into the community remotely. Guests can search through the directory for your residence by name and call the number provided. The resident can "buzz" the guest through by pressing 9 on their phone. Following the completion of the system upgrade, check your listing and let me know if there are changes that are needed to be made. Splash Pad: Waterbooke's splash pad experienced a heavy failure of the UV protection system and replacement parts have been on backorder. This feature is expected to be restored to full operation by mid December. I will follow up with all residents following the completion of these repairs. Front Lake Fountain: The fountain located in the front lake broke down to the point of requiring major repairs/replacement. The new fountain has been delivered and we hope to have this completed by the end of December. I greatly appreciate all residents patience and understanding while we work to resolve these concerns with as little disturbance to the community as we can. Management will be here during all processes in order to ensure services go as smoothly as possible. If anyone has any questions regarding these upcoming projects and services please feel free to contact me and I will assist where I can. Upcoming Events: Annual Meeting: Date: December 12th 2022 Time: 6:00 pm (sign-in begins at 5:30) Location: Clermont Arts & Rec Center. - Clermont Room All residents should have received a physical letter in the mail with all the related meeting information.

There are three different problems that are under review for intermittant issues and one is a regular failure. The East gate (entrance) is failing to close. This issue is under review for general repair and will be fixed asap. The other major issue is a sensitivity issue with the devices. When using the gate clicker you must be approximately 10-15 ft from the actual gate for the signal to reach the receiver. for the main gate you can use the camera post on the right as a reference point until signage can be installed.

Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | AUGUST 8th 2022 Welcome to all residents of Waterbrooke!!! August like many other months in the past has brought new growth and expansion. As our community continues to evolve I will do my best to work as your community Manager to organize and facilitate the operation of your associations general day to day. I will use this Newsletter to communicate and update the residents on the newest information and upcoming events. Here is your current news update: Events: Garage Sale: 10/01/2022. *Please contact apotchak@lelandmanagement.com to register your address* *This was previously communicated as having the Garage Sale take place later this month. Due to the weather, and residential requests the date was shifted back to give everyone time to prepare* This will be intedended to take place twice per year in the spring and fall. The advertized hours will be 8:00am - 5:00pm "long-term" Parking is still not allowed. Vehicles cannot be left unattended and parked on the street. It will be assumed street parking will happen from visiting guests as temporary 30 minute parking ONLY. Following the garage sale event the tow company will make a visit to make sure vehicles have not been left parked on the street. Waterbrooke will advertize using signs as the city allows. Prior to event basic maps showing participating locations will be made available for guests. Halloween: Proposed date: October Saturday 29th Costume contest - House decorating contest - Food Trucks - Scavenger hunt - Bouncy Houses - Face Painting - Music More on this as the date nears. Gates: Unfortunately having gates means a continual monitoring and repairing of the very useful security feature. Recently we have had communication and network related issues occur and repairs were made to the main towers. Unfortunately when this kind of repair takes place, It is common to have some frequency/communication errors with devices. This may cause the device to fail. If you have a device that fails to open the gates or doors in Waterbrooke please contact me to have these devices replaced. Otherwise, all gates have been repaired and should be operating normally. Please contact me if you notice a failure. Temporary Gate Code : " 2414 " This code is intended for Vendor or Temporary access ONLY. Every residence has the option for one free-to-use Gate PIN# that can be assined to the address. If you have been using the temporary PIN please contact me in the office to have your personal PIN assigned as this code will be changed following a one month grace period. Dog Park/ Waste stations: The dog park had an irrigation issue that was causing an over saturation that caused some adverse condistions at the park. This irrigation issue was repaired and Waterbrooke is working with our current landscaper to ready this park for full opperation and use. This includes the water spigot inside the park. I am expecting this to be opperational by mid month as promises were made. Ez-Wastestations should begin the installation of the remaining common walking areas in Waterbrooke near mid to end month. I know the frustration residents have been dealing with when wanting the pet litter to be kept clean by pet owners. More stations will be available very soon to help in this concern. Thank everyone for their patience while we continue to improve upon our association during developement. Paving: The paving of Phase 3a and 3b should be completed early this week. They will clean up any leftover asphalt left from the paving. Pool: Recently Waterbrooke has been dealing with some issues regarding the gates and locks/latches they use. These latch assemblies have been broken and or removed. Not long ago a table and chair were pulled from the pool where someone threw them in. The pool is a beautiful amenity that all residents of Waterbrooke ejoy to use. If you move chairs or tables, please put them back so they do not cause injury when left in the open. The equipment and maintenance of this amenity has a cost and that goes up when damages occur. Please, If you notice any misuse or improper activities in or around the pool, contact me so I can make sure to handle the concern in the best manner. The pool monitoring and security are currently under review for potential solutions additional to the cameras. Security and Association Protection: It is always my goal to protect the residents of this association and its values in any way I can. If you notice actions athat are unsafe or damageing from another individual/s taking place in your neighborhood, please contact Management as soon as possible. Any notice given to me will be restricted to Management and the BOD. It is in the best interest of every owner to look out for your association as repairs and maintenance comes at a cost to everyone living here. Emergency Preparedness: Coming into the storm season make sure your residence is preparing for any storm situation. Have evacuation plans and or supplied prepared if you do not plan on evacuating.

Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | JULY 6th 2022 Merry Summer Waterbrooke!! This past month has brought many changes and I plan the same as we push forward. Waterbrooke is growing very fast, and with that growth we all have to adapt to the increase of residents. This means more vehicles, and more importantly more people. My current main focus recently has been the institution of an enforcement policy that targets street parking, and a reservation platform. I also have a side project for general information access utilizing QR codes posted at necessary points in Waterbrooke. Two major policy changes are in their final stages: Parking: *Official Enforcement start date 08/01/2022* Parking has been a probelm and concern for everyone here at Waterbrooke for a very long time. I just want to re-express the foremost reason the No-Parking rule exists for the streets of Waterbrooke. The roads are not wide enough to accomodate both street parking and emergency vehicles. Understanding there are rules and regulations Waterbrooke can review, street parking will not be a part of it because of the main safety reason. All current residents should have or will be receiving a letter stating the new Towing resolution for Waterbrooke. If your vehicle is parked on the street it can be subject to towing. It is not Waterbrookes desire to tow any vehicle belonging to the residents in this association, but the street parking must stop for your neighbors or own safety. This step is the first of many that can be taken to correct this concern in Waterbrooke. Clubhouse Reservations: *Planned start date 08/01/2022, Possible 09/01/2022* I have been in contact with IT regarding implimentation of a reservation platform for Waterbrooke. Currently I am testing multiple programs in order for residents in Waterbrooke can oficially reserve the clubhouse. Initially the reservation will be free, however please note a reservation fee/deposit may be added to handle cleanup follwing events as recently the clubhouse has not been cleaned by the individuals using the area and incurs an extra charge to Waterbrooke HOA each time. This will require a 1-2 hour window inbetween reservations. In addition to reserving the clubhouse I plan to have other Items available for reservation if the BOD approves my proposals i.e. tents, games, and possibly grills. Events: I have 3 upcoming events for Waterbrooke in 2022 Community Garage Sale: *Planned date Between July 15th -- August 15th.* Halloween Trunk or Treat event: 10/29/2022 Christmas party I will be in communication with a social committee on the best way to impliment these events. once each event has been finalized I will communicate the details via "Events and Activities" communication similar to this monthly newsletter. Orientation: I would like to provide an orientation to new residents. I have noticed in my few months there are many residents new and old that have questions and just did not know who or how to go about communication. My goal is to present the basics. Where to set up your accounts, general assocaition information and last but not least, get to know the residents here @ Waterbrooke and provide you with necessary contacts. I have also noticed i do not have every residents contact information. When something happens it behooves you to have your most updated phone, email , and any other contact information you feel we will need. New Amenities: I am working with Waterbrooke BOD and the developers to retain full control of the new dog park and other amenities. The main concern many residents bring to my attention, is the water for the pets. The spigot does not work and the ground is saturated. This problem is under assessment and I hope to have the park 100% ready soon. I also hope to add some type of shade or awning for those visiting the park in the near future. Walking path: This beautiful ameity has been under heavy scrutiny and assessment for the past month or two. The main concern that is afffecting the review is erosion. It would not make sence to patch a problem that can be repeating, so a more encompassing solution is currently being reviewed to repair and enhance this amenity. Please be aware of the marked off sections of the walking path as these areas must be used cautiously due to the erosion. I recommend not walking in the sectioned off areas until repairs have been finalized. Gates: Our main gate "leading to Hwy 50" has been having multiple issues. some may be due to the same problem but may be multiple failures. The Exit gate failed to open over the weekend, and the entrance side randomly stays open enen at night. ACT found failed cameras and will need to inspect the gates to see if the problems are related. I hope to have this resolved ASAP. Gym: Minor additions/ Modifications planned including a small play area for children. Safety is always the main concern and a small section would provide a "safezone". Equipment: Residents are my "boots on the ground". It took me 4 months for your exercise equipment manufacturer to agree the machine was glitching and or having an error because when they came to test, the problem did not happen. If you notice any of the equipment in your gym not operating in the way it should video or picture evidence can prove/expidite the repair process. As always my main goal as your community manager is to learn and expand my knowledge and abilities as Waterbrookes general caretaker. Please feel free to reach out with any concerns or questions, Andrew Potchak SOURCE: POTHCAK,ANDREW. "MONTHLY NEWSLETTER." RECEIVED BY KRISH D'ERRICO, 6 JULY 2022.
Waterbrooke News & Market Report
Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | JUNE 8th 2022 Hello Waterbrooke Welcome to June! My apologies for getting this newsletter out later than normal, but it was necessary as there are many recent changes and alot more to come. Landscaping: Waterbrooke was unfortunately forced to release the previous landscaping company due to a heavy lack of detail and responsibility to their contract. Common areas were poorly maintained and the Board of Directors could not see fit to allowing the improper maintenance to continue. While Green-Leaf gets acclimated over the next few weeks feel free to say hello as we are all expecting improvement to the landscape here at Waterbrooke. Walking paths: Waterbrooke has been dealing with some heavy errosion around the walking paths that is allowing water to work into fractures advancing the errosion. The entirety of the walking paths in waterbrooke are under heavy review. Waterbrooke is working with developers and landscaping companys to come up with the best solution to repair and improve these walking paths. Please take extra caution when walking by the areas marked off until repairs are finalized. Ez-Waste stations: Waterbrooke recently signed a proposal to have the rest of the planned waste stations installed around the community. Due to the volume of the needed stations and the current global shortages this may take a month or more to have all stations installed. Parking: I have recently had many meetings regarding the parking policy enforcement here at Waterbrooke. Here is the main portion of the section regarding parking here at Waterbrooke *see governing documents for complete definition*: 12.4.1 Parking. Owners' vehicles shall be parked in the garage or driveway of the respective Owner's Lot and shall not block the sidewalk. No vehicles of any nature shall be parked on any portion of WATERBROOKE or a Lot except on the surfaced parking area thereof. Vehicles shall not park on the paved or concrete surfaces comprising the Common Area. To the extent WATERBROOKE has any guest parking, Owners are prohibited from parking in such guest parking spaces. No vehicles used in business for the purpose of transporting goods, equipment and the like, shall be parked in WATERBROOKE except during the period of a delivery of goods or during the provision of services. During my meeting with the main design team regarding parking here, all houses were designed to acommodate 4 standard sized vehicles safely. 2 in each garage and 2 in each driveway. There are no current plans for additional parking being installed during Waterbrooke's developement. I have a great muiltitude of communications from many different residents with concerns of the difficulty travelling the roads with vehicles parked on the street. Waterbrookes #1 concern is safety. The emergency vehicle MUST be able to get to a residence in need without difficulty. Seconds mean everything for a person in trouble. Many residents have small children and a vehicle parked on the street greatly obscures yards where they may be playing. Very soon Waterbrooke will have an action plan set in place to make sure vehicles are not parked on the street for extended times. Our intention is not to stop families from recieving visitors during the day, deliveries or having service work performed, but to target vehicles that continuously violate the No Street Parking policy. Waterbrooke will give plenty of advance notice before the plan is in place. Please start planning for this change as any vehicle parked on the street or in common areas for extended periods of time will be subject to towing. Reservations: After many communications with residents and hearing the general concerns regarding reservations, Waterbrooke BOD is now working on a reservation platform for the clubhouse. We want this reservation process to be as organized and efficient as possible. Once this program has been generated and reviewed I will share the details of the process via newsletter and posting. As always please let me know If I can help in any way, and have a great start to your summer!! SOURCE: POTHCAK,ANDREW. "Monthly Newsletter." RECEIVED BY KRISH D'ERRICO, 8 JUNE 2022.

Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | MAY 12TH 2022 Waterbrooke MONTHLY NEWSLETTER - from Waterbrooke HOA Newsletter Good morning Waterbrooke, Pothole Repair: Asphalt 365 is repairing potholes in your area today. The repair should be completed the same day. The area of repair is on a single lane strech of road and the work crew is aware people also live and park in this area and will take all precautions while working. Please take extra caution driving while this repair is in progress. Newly finished common areas: One other area of note to Waterbrooke residents. I have had a few questions reguarding these areas and I communicated this with leadership. The newly constructed areas including the dog park are okay to use, but still being modified and or added to. Part of the scheduled installations will definitely be dog waste stations in all areas. The water system and other areas of the dog park are still under the installation process, so until completion of the park, bring water for the four legged family members. I will update the completion status as this work progresses. As always I appreciate the continual patience and understanding from all residents in Waterbrooke as I learn and grow to properly fill the role as your Community Manager. If there is anything I can help with please feel free to contact me. SOURCE: POTHCAK,ANDREW. "POT HOLE REPAIR." RECEIVED BY KRISH D'ERRICO, 12 MAY 2022.

Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | MAY 6 2022 Waterbrooke Easter Event Update - from Waterbrooke HOA Newsletter Welcome to the month of rain (Hopefully) This month there will be few updates as little new has taken place. Landscaping: Some residents have raised concerns about dying grass and plants. We are working diligently with the current landscaper to make necessary adjustments and efforts to mitigate the drying out the greenery tends to do during this season. If we get alot of rain this month, most of these areas wil heal themselves. Waterbrooke wants you to know we are pressing heavier and heavier on the landscaper to make sure your community looks great and are upholding expectations. Common Areas and their use: This has been an inquiry brought up by many residents. All common areas are for public use by Waterbrooke residents as First come First Serve. Waterbrooke does not currently have a reservation platform for any of the common areas (this is under review). Some residents have come to me stating a reservation form was shown to them including signatures. These are NOT official Waterbrooke reservations issued by the association. There is plenty of area that can be use if one of the amenities are already occupied. Some residents have brought tents to the grassy areas and their own umbrellas. These areas are ment to be used and enjoyed. Waterbrooke will not stop ANYONE from using these areas in a safe and responsilble manner as long as they are used following rules and regulations located in your governing documents. I am working with the Board on the possibility of equipment rentals that will be available for use. Events: I am in the process of organizing a group of interested voulenteer residents for event planning, organization, and implimentation. If you are interested in filling this role please respond to me via e-mail. Remaining planned events: Garage Sale Fourth of July Halloween Architectual review and Apllications: I am growing in my ability to work with and assist in the application process. All applications are reviewed once per month and will receive approvals or requested adjustments for approval. This is very important as I will be working with the applications that did not get approved for whatever reason. If you notice you application has passed the "20" day mark, Let me know and I will verify everything is on track and give any updates I have at that time. I will work with the ARB department to make sure everything operates as somoothly as possilble. I will have access to approval letters typically within 2-5 days time following approval. If you need a copy ASAP communicate with me following the monthly ARM meeting and I will help you through that process. Amenities/Walking path: All of our amenities are under review for maintenance and improvement. This is an extensive process so I appreciate all patience in this matter as I will update the community as these proposals and projects progress. The immediate focus is the walking paths around the lakes. Please be aware of a marked off area surrounding the front lake path as the repair required is much more involved than filling the damage with concrete. It is my goal to make sure the enjoyable areas of your community are well maintained and constantly assessed for any adjustments and or improvements. Potholes: Not long ago a few potholes were found in the townhome parking drive lane. Waterbrooke has aquired multiple estimates as required to see these holes fixed. Final decisions are being made by the BOD and the repair should take place soon. That sums up the main areas of focus wraping up April and moving into May. If there are any concerns or questions by any resident, please feel free to reach out to me. I may not be able to solve your concern directly or instantly, However I will always work to assist you on the right path or learn how to help any and all residents of Waterbrooke in any situaton I can.

Waterbrooke Community Newsletter | March 2022 - Its time for the green of nature to come back into our lives!
Event:
Easter: Date 04/17/2022 @ 2:00pm This will be my (Andrew's) first planned and organized event. Please understand with this being my first foray into the process that I will be learning as I go. The original plan was for the Saturday the 16th, However there were scheduling conflicts, so the event has been moved to Easter Sunday 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm. We plan to have an easter egg hunt, egg race, face painting and egg decorating! all residents are welcome. I will send a more detailed notice prior to the event with a proper agenda and timescale.Parks:
The two new parks and Dog park have been completed. Fell free to enjoy the nice weather we are having. All common areas are first come first serve, However, remeber we all live here and enjoy using these areas. We want these areas to remain clean and enjoyable to visit so make sure we are picking up after ourselves if you plan on using these facilities. Waterbrooke's Maintenance crews have been notified about the trashcans at the stations. So lets make sure the trash makes it to the cans.E-Z Waste Stations:
This company is providing a proposal to install more stations in Waterbrooke so we can keep our pet litter from causing issues. These are provided to keep your neighborhood enjoyable for you and your children. Please use these very valueble assets.Pool /Gym:
Our facilities are here for resident use Only. If you have guests using these facilites then please ask they respect other residents use of the facilities. I have had a few concerns that equipment may being blocked from use because of training or other reasons. Other residents have mentioned excessive noise. We all understand we will need to share these amenities so lets keep it fair for all.Clubhouse locks:
Due to a networking error, Waterbrooke is replacing the electric locks in the main building. Because of suplply demands we are replacing the locks as they come in. This project should be completed by Mid-April. Until then access is easiest granted at the Main door in front and the Family bathroom in the pool area. Parking: Parking in the street is NOT PERMITTED. We understand during the day guests visiting and deliveries will happen and at times parking in the street is necessary. The reason Parking is NOT alllowed in the street is for the safety of everyone residing in this community. There simply is not enough space for parking on the street for extended times. Please respect your Governing documents and park in your assigned driveways. I look forward to seeing all of you at the Easter Event!

Hooks Street Extension talk at the City Council Meeting in Clermont Florida. I'm urging others to get involved in this by either going to the net meeting or contacting the lake county authorities who gave us their info and the architect/engineer who proposed this to the city. they were up there last night. http://www.hooksstreetstudy.com/HooksStreet_StudyDocuments.html Traffic Study Document: http://www.hooksstreetstudy.com/HooksStreetDocuments/AltConceptsPublicWorkshop11_16_20/Displays/Traffic%20Analysis.pdf If you are not familiar with the Hooks Street Extension Project my goal here is to make very clear what they are going to do with the hook street extension. I am here to clear up the confusion and all though we might not have all the answers yet, we have to be prepared and be educated on how this will affect our community. The hooks street extension comes from Hancock road here all the way to our front entrance gate, which the developers have proposed to the city of clermont to do a roundabout. the cheapest way for the developers would be a two lane street with a roundabout. After some back and forth at the panel with the city, the instead they agreed upon a traffic light and four lanes total. Two lanes eastbound and two lanes west bound. Yes that's right neighbors you heard it right, there will be two traffic lights to get out of our development onto route 50. So we would have our current traffic light as well as one right smack where our front gate is. Making it probably a five to ten minute drive just to get out of our development due to the two traffic lights.
