Timbers Community Turnover Readiness Group (TRG)
Amenities and Lifestyle Committee 07/02/2026 Meeting Minutes
Attendees: Susan DiRanna, William Putnam, Shauna Lansbury, Genece Singer,
Angela Delarosa.
Meeting commenced at 1:00 p.m.
We discussed topics as follows: Leland installed rail covers at the pool as per Susan’s
request. The observation is that they’re loose and need to be secured (possibly zip ties
on each end?). Safety covers for entry door handles were also requested but there has
been no response from Leland either doing this or having a response if they are going
to do this.
This brought up the response time for Leland to answer emails as there is either a long
time to respond or no response. We feel this should be a responsibility of the
management to respond at least within 48 hours. It’s unacceptable to ignore resident
emails.
Susan has completed the Welcome Packet and is going to meet with Darci/CAM next
week and see if they can be implemented into information for all new residents.
Susan researched a company that makes identification badges, addressing the need for
quick and easy resident identification at the pool and other amenities. Their cost for
1700 badges (photo, design fee, address and personal information, laminating, and
lanyard) was over $10,000 compared to “Us”, the Timbers purchasing the equipment
and doing them in-house at the approximate cost of $4000.00. So obviously it would be
more cost effective for us to do them in-house.
We discussed the ongoing challenge of violating pool rules. People bringing infants into
the pool. Children in the hot tub. People drinking beverages in the pool. People
accessing the pool by reaching over the EXIT gates. There was a man swimming during
a storm after a “Pool Closed” sign was posted on the clubhouse door. How do we get
Leland to do a standard routine check of people using the amenities and following
rules? We also discussed the people from Riverwood and Edgewood using our
amenities which should not be allowed – another reason for identification badges.
We discussed the need for a regular Census of our community to ensure that 20% of
under 55 year olds purchasing homes in the Timbers is not exceeded, therefore losing
our exemption of a 55+ Community. Will mentioned Harris is looking into this.
We revisited the Plexiglas cover for the East and West sides of mailboxes to prevent
mail from getting wet during storms. We all agreed that this would be difficult and costly
and probably is not a reasonable option. Possibly a future research project.
Angela and Genece: Are going to talk to Darci/CAM after the meeting regarding blinds
on the windows and sound panels on the walls and/or ceiling to cut down on noise.
Angela received a bid of $6465.00 for blinds for the kitchen windows and doors. Further
research needs to be done on sound panels.
Additional safety signage needed in various areas of the community (alligator warning,
pool rules, etc.), needs to be researched. It was suggested to get price quotes from sign
shops
Angela is going to talk to a resident who has expertise on ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) requirements. What is needed and what will it cost to upgrade some
specific areas of the clubhouse. The individual has been “out of pocket”, but Angela will
follow-up.
Susan Mathis and Shauna Lansbury are working on overall rule enforcement and FHA
(Fair Housing Act) and rental properties such as filling out required documents and
following covenants. This still needs to be researched.
The next Amenities and Lifestyle Committee meeting will be on August 27th at 1:00
p.m. at the clubhouse.
Meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m.
*Special Addendum – Angela spoke with Darci/Leland CAM after the meeting to
follow up on the blinds for the kitchen and a few other concerns. She was told
“Lennar has no intention of updating or rectifying any of our requests for the
Clubhouse because we, the homeowners already own it. It is not something that
will be given to us at the Turnover, evidently we already own it. Lennar will not
hear us or negotiate further.”
I find this extremely odd as they have recently added the rail covers to the pool and
have purchased new chairs for the kitchen. I’m not sure how we can find out the
legalities of this but I believe it bears looking into. If the clubhouse is ours, who is
making decisions for us regarding the changes occurring?
