The Elevators had to been turned off as part of the Hurricane preparation. 

There is water in the pits and will need to be pumped out before turning the power back on to prevent damage to the main cylinder. 

We will work hard to pump these pits out ASAP.  They should be running by Friday.

Please be advised that Royal Park is doing its best to keep the Bulk Section Clean.  We have requested extra pickups but because the City of Oakland Park is shorthanded, many of their staff have left the city. They are now hiring and replacing as fast as possible.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will be in close contact with the city and hopefully remedy this as fast as possible.

Due to mechanical breakdown the tree trimming schedule will need to be revised,  please look for revised schedule early next week.

Royal Park Condos

I would like to congratulate Mr. Michael Nicotera and thank him for joining the Board of Directors, I’m sure he will be a great asset to Royal Park.  We also chose Lane Elevator to do our Elevator modernization.  Though the years they have kept our old elevators running and now we can begin the contract review by the attorney, so that this project can be started as soon as possible.

Unit owners that owe $25 or more to the Association received a notice and were informed any balance must be paid in full by February 14^th, 2022 or they would be sent to our attorney for collections.

If you believe there is a mistake, please contact the office.

It would be unfortunate if you were charged legal fees if you have a small outstanding balance. Your account must have a zero balance by February 14^th, 2022. There are no exceptions.

Due to the weather the crews were not able to complete the 2 phases. Due to the difficulty we had moving cars we feel it best to leave these areas closed and complete them on Thursday instead of moving on to the next 2 phases.

Please be informed the following:

• Due to the weather we were not able to complete the 2 (Yellow & Purple) scheduled phases of sealcoating. We are going to leave these areas closed so they can return on Thursday 01/13/2022 and complete these areas without issue.
• Do not move any cones and barricades from the parking lot. Do not park inside the closed areas.
• If anyone moves the cones and barricades and cars are parked in the area we will have to start all over again with moving vehicles.

Please lets work through these next few days. The sooner we are able to complete the work the sooner every ones day gets back to normal.

The Royal Park office will be open Thursday, December 23, 2022 until noon. The office will be closed Friday, December 24th in observance of the holiday.

The Royal Park office will be closed Friday, December 31st in observance of New Years. The office will re-open on Monday, January 3rd.

Royal Park is about to begin the sealcoating of the main road and the parking lots. All dates are tentative schedules based on no adverse weather conditions.

The sealcoating project will be broken down into 3 phases:  1: Patching, 2: Sealcoating & 3: Re-striping.

All residents must cooperate to successfully complete this project. The following items are essential:

1)  The pavement areas must be clear of vehicles no later than 8:00am on the days work is scheduled. Your vehicle must be moved to another area during both sealcoating & re-striping. Vehicles can return on the day after re-striping.

2) There will be a tow truck standing by to relocate any cars that are not moved. If we are unable to perform the work scheduled or a portion thereof due to vehicles remaining in the work area, we will be forced to charge the resident a “re-mobilization fee”.

3) Royal Park Condos is not responsible for anyone who disregards barricades, ribbon or string that we have placed  around the work areas. These devices are put up for your safety. We will not be responsible for any subsequent damage to persons or property.

Each phase is represented by a color in the map below.

Dear community homeowner:

The Association Board is notifying you that FEMA has officially removed all the community buildings out of the restrictive flood zone. With this flood zone exemption the community flood insurance policies will not be renew for next year. We are providing the owners, documentation to notify your lender and also information on obtaining insurance if you wish to continue have flood insurance for your unit. Listed are the steps for the owner:

1. Using this form letter and LOMA, contact your mortgage lender’s insurance department (phone number and address is usually on that back of your monthly statement). Inform them, that there has been a flood zone designation change on your property. They will review the data and make the determination that the flood insurance is no longer a requirement for your mortgage. This process has taken up to 2 weeks and they will respond by letter releasing the flood insurance.
2. If you want to have flood insurance, contact your insurance agent and provide them with a copy of the LOMA and the letter from the
   bank. You can discuss you future insurance options with your agent. With the LOMA status you are eligible for Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) which is the lowest cost insurance for an individual unit owner.

With this exempt status on your building, you will benefit by the lender not requiring flood insurance and if desired you can purchase an individual cheaper insurance policy for your unit. Also this should increase the value of our community and also help with the association cost.

If you have any questions please contact the office or ask at the next association meeting.

Sincerely
Royal Park Condominium

From our President:

A YEAR TO FORGET

This has been a very difficult year with the Pandemic, and I am sure one we would all like to forget. From having to quarantine to not being able to find needed items in our stores (like toilet paper, Lysol, etc.) to the kids staying home or one not being able to work.

Life at Royal Park also had problems. Following CDC and State guidelines we had to close the pools and clubhouse. As soon as we could, the pools were opened as well as the clubhouse on a limited basis. The showers, steam rooms and saunas must remain closed.

Please follow the association’s rules as well as the new CDC’s guidelines to protect your neighbors and the increasing value of your property.

From our Property Manager:

All residences walking their dogs in Royal Park need to have a leash no longer than 6 feet. Please, if you see anything suspicious call 911 ASAP. Excuse the catwalks as we are now painting them and will continue until they are all done. Has anyone noticed the new BBQ grills, tables, and garbage bins? If anyone has a 2020 sticker, please come into the office, and update your car or it will be towed away.

It has been reported that there is illegal dumping going on from people who do not live here at Royal Park or people telling the guard station that they are here to pay their maintenance and get their 2021 decal.

If you see any cars, trucks or vans with NO sticker or a green/purple RP decal and they are dumping at the bulk trash area, please get their license plate and call 911 immediately.

Also, ALL trucks, large SUV’s need to park in the truck section of your parking lot, not in the designated white parking spaces which are for cars and small SUVs only. REMEMBER, only ONEdesignated spot per unit. If there is no 2021 decal on your vehicle or a parking pass on your dashboard visible for security to see, you WILL be towed at your expense. Also, there is NO parking of trailers overnight in our complex. This is nothing new, please read your Rules & Regulations and By-laws.

From the Treasurer:

People, please pick up after your dog and do not litter. I am seeing a lot of masks and rubber gloves thrown on the ground. We are working on putting a shuffleboard court in by the south pool. Maintenance dues were due on April 1st.

Grounds and Building committee:

As many of you know by my resume and our “meet and greet” evening, my passion here at Royal Park is to find ways we can improve our living environment by maintaining our beautiful
grounds and buildings in small and perhaps big ways. All of this on a tight budget. We have managed to address some issues and make some changes. Andrew Wilkinson and Brian Smith have been a great help in doing surveys of the property, and we came across an area behind Building 119 that sorely needed attention. Not only aesthetically but was prime for intruders to our property. A thorough clean-up was performed of invasive plants, tree saplings and underbrush. Drainage issues have been addressed with several tons of gravel having been spread over weed block material and we are waiting for estimates to complete a stockade fence extending from the existing white PVC privacy fence that borders our pool area and will extend to the canal to secure our property by keeping intruders out.

I am also hoping that many of you folks have had the opportunity to notice our new picnic tables. Six new tables were purchased and several of our existing tables were refurbished to accept an opaque stain-sealer that we applied on the six new tables now on the property. We also have several new grilles with covers at the central picnic area, and the concrete patio has had concrete repairs done and a fresh coat of paint. We also now have new plastic garbage cans at the picnic areas with lids, looking much improved rather than the garbage cans that were tied to trees with bungee cords! Hopefully, this will deter “critters” from getting a hold of picnic refuse.

Our shuffleboard area is under way with repairs and paint and should be up and ready for gaming soon. Please do not allow children to draw on the shuffleboard areas with chalk. Our next project is slated to start early summer, and we will be tackling the men’s gym. We will be replacing the floor, removing the pop-corn ceiling, hopefully adding some new lightings, a new treadmill, and a new coat of paint…so we are making changes for the better, slowly but surely. We are in the process of changing the lights on the catwalks to ALL white lights. Please remove any colored lights that you would like to keep. Thank you.

From the Fining Committee:

The Fining Committee reviewed all units for any improvements / repairs needed on the front doors, molding & screens. According to our condominium documents the upkeep of the front doors are the responsibility of the owners. There were 363 warning letters that have been sent out to owners that need to address the issue with their front door. The next Fining Committee project will be to examine the back of the building units for any improvements / repairs needed.

Garden Club:

Though our landscaping budget is minimal now, I felt that those funds could go much farther in bringing about improvements if we did not have to rely on outside labor. I am pleased to announce that a team of at least a dozen owners have joined our emerging “Garden Club”. If you are interested in joining, let the office know and they will forward your information to me. We will be working on our front entry area soon, with lots of pruning (those monster Bromeliads need attention) and planting around our entry drive and adjacent areas, including new low growing foliage around our Royal Park monument sign.

We have already purchased 3 pallets of cypress mulch to spread around the garden beds at the bench along the entry walkway and around the Bromeliads once trimmed. One of many projects we have slated is to “spruce” up a bit and keep our grounds on the “up-swing” for the pleasure of us all.

Maintenance:

The maintenance crew has reported that there are residents throwing their garbage down the shoots and not tying off the bags, therefore the garbage falls all over the place. People are also throwing furniture or appliances into the garbage dumpsters. Please do not do this, if you must, bring your old furniture to the bulk trash area or call Faith Farm or the Veterans.

Recycle: DO NOT throw your recycling items in the blue bins with plastic bags. No plastic bags should contain cans, etc. There are new instructions on each blue bin lid letting you know what is recyclable and what is not. Please abide by the rules.

Social Club:

When I was running for the Board of Directors, my main goal was to keep the lines of communication open between the Board and the property owners. So, I hope you appreciate this newsletter as this is one of the ways to keep you all in the loop with what is happening at Royal Park Condominiums. There are two huge events that I am planning for next month. The first event is “clean out your closet” scheduled for Saturday, May15th. If it rains, then we will reschedule it for Saturday, May 22nd. The garage sale will take place between the hours of 8:00 to 3:00. If you would like a table and chair outside or inside, the fee is $5.00. Lunch will be provided, hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, and a soda for a minimal charge. Because the Social Club is not sanctioned by Royal Park, any proceeds that we earn stay within the social club for future events.

The second event I am planning is a Memorial Day picnic. I want to do a Memorial Day Ceremony at the big picnic area near the maintenance building. PLEASE!!! If there are any Veterans, please email me at: [email protected] I want to acknowledge all our male & female veterans that day. After the ceremony, we will offer hotdogs, hamburgers, chips & soda for $5.00 per person.

When we held our meet & greet the candidates, I emphasized that we need to meet our neighbors. It is extremely important that we get to know each other. I am so lucky that I have great neighbors around me so if I need anything, they are there for me and vice versa.

Email addresses: please submit your email address to the office so I can send the monthly newsletter to you. Due to the cost of mailing, I will not be mailing the newsletter to you, we will have a small amount of newsletters available in the office for those who do not have a computer. I have updated the mailing list for each building near the mailboxes. They were so out of date, but if you notice any inaccuracies, please let Adrian know in the office so we can correct it.

All gentlemen: would you be interested in resurrecting the men’s club again?? It was such a great way for neighbors to meet each other while planning events. Let me know….

All ladies: what do you think about: a lady’s club, or a yoga class, painting class, dance class, mahjongg class? Let me know…

All ladies & gentlemen: How about paint stick bingo?? This is so much fun. It’s so easy to play, and a way for everyone to come together. I will accept any suggestions.

We need to become an active community like it was years ago. I understand that there are two working individuals per household, but hopefully we can come up with some ideas to come together. I have planned a Social Club Meeting in the clubhouse on Thursday, April 29th at 7:00 pm. Anyone and everyone are welcome to come and brainstorm. I look forward to seeing you there. Thank you all for your cooperation. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to email me.

Most Importantly: It is imperative that CDC Guidelines still need to be enforced at All Social Club Events including masks, social distancing and crowd size.

On Thursday April 15th, 2021 at 7: 00 PM at the Clubhouse Main Hall, located at 122 Royal Park Drive Oakland Park, FL. 33309, a Board of Directors Meeting shall be conducted. The order of business shall be as follows:

AGENDA

1. Pledge of Allegiance
2. Call to Order
3. Proof of Notice of Meeting/Establish Quorum
4. Reading of Minutes from previous meeting
5. Treasurer’s Report
6. Manager’s Report
7. Amended Rules & Regulations Vote
8. Sealcoating
9. Security
10. Adjournment

All Unit Owners are invited to attend this meeting and will be given 3 minutes to address any item on the agenda.

Face Masks Required.

No plastic bags of any type should be in recycle bins. Empty the bags in the bins.

We continue to have residents place plastic bags in the recycling bins. The City of Oakland Park has informed Royal Park that we have an excessive amount of unacceptable and contaminating items in our bins. If we do not correct this, they will have to remove the bins from our property.

The association is asking residents to help our recycling efforts by only putting acceptable items in our recycle bins.

If recycle bins are removed, all trash will then have to be put in building dumpsters, therefore increasing the cost for our garbage pickups, as our cost is based on the weight of the dumpsters.

This cost could result in an increase in maintenance fees, as the association would need to adjust the budget accordingly.

Please help and only discard acceptable recycle items.

You can find locations to drop off plastic bags for recycling here.

BOUNCED CHECKS
If a personal check is returned for insufficient funds, an additional $25.00 fee applies. An insufficient fund check will also then be late, so total additional fees are $50.00 ($25.00 late fee plus $25.00 returned check fee).

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

A water main break at building 114 today has forced the the shut off of all water at Royal Park for most of the afternoon.

Repairs are being done and expectation is to have water restored by end of the day.

Hurricane Eta’s excessive rain has caused flooding around the Royal Park Community and outside the complex. The massive amounts of rain in the weeks prior to storm combined with high tide resulted in flooding not seen in quite some time.

The Association is working on clean up efforts, including garbage pickup from recycling containers that blew over and removal of fallen trees.

The canal water is beyond the association’s control. The canal waters must recede and hopefully our area will remain dry from rain in the coming days so water settles in the soil, evaporates and flood waters can drain properly.

Thank you for your patience.

The above pictures show what wet wipes due to the Royal Park Sewer Pumping Station, located next to building 104.  The  mass includes mostly wet wipes but also had needles and other items that should never be flushed down the toilet.  This repair cost Royal Park owners over $15,000 to replace the pump.

WET WIPES SHOULD NEVER BE FLUSHED!

If you are using these products, purchase a small trash can to keep next to your toilet and dispose of them there.

Never flush anything else down the toilets other than waste and toilet paper. Tissues can also be problematic, as they are not designed to break down in the sewer the same way toilet paper is.

Please continue to observe social distancing rules when possible.

The property management office and the Board would like to remind all Apartment Owners they are responsible to ensure their entry doors and frames are in good repair, clean, and not in need of painting. This includes screen, storm, and security doors.

Property management personnel regularly survey the property to identify maintenance needs. Starting in November 2020, they will begin identifying unit doors that need cleaning, repaired, and/or maintenance. At that time, any Apartment Owner whose door requires attention will be mailed a warning.

Doors that remain in need of maintenance after receiving a warning will be subject to a $50.00 cleaning fee. Additional fines may be levied as allowed per Florida Statue XL.718.303.

As the summer heat subsides over the next two months, please invest in your home and the community by ensuring your door(s) are maintained.

Thank you,
