Dear Members,
As new president of your H.O.A., I
want to thank all of the homeowners for your confidence in electing

of residents here in Vista and I look
forward to meeting each and everyone and hope we can gain new members and renew our former members.
All of our residents, including our
renters, are allowed to join if you are
a member of this community.
If there are any questions, please
feel free to call or stop by my house
and I will do my best to answer them
or if I don't know the answer, I will
find out for you. I have an open door
policy and will be glad to see you. I
hope to see new members as well as
former members at our March 12th
meeting at 7:30 pm. Bring a non

members this month. Help us meet
this goal or surpass it.
Again THANK YOU for your confidence and support. God Bless our
Troops and God Bless the U.S.A.
Sincerely, Your new President

In a Nutshell:
Here’s the
Scoop…
US POSTAL SERVICE
REGULATIONS
• Do not knock on the mailroom
door while the carrier is working.
• Never enter the mailrooms. This
is a Federal Offense.
• If mail is not picked up in 4 days,
it will be sent to the Winter Garden
Post Office and held for 10 days, and
if not picked up, will be returned to
sender.
• If you have any questions, contact the Winter Garden Post Office at
407-656-3344.
GATE ACCESS
Vendors, contractors, landscapers,
caretakers and other service providers must obtain gate access from the
resident receiving the service.
The resident may provide access by
any of the following means:
1.) The resident may give the service
provider their three digit gate code.
The provider can call the resident on
the Sentex machine next to the gate
building by dialing the # key and the
resident's three digit code. When the
resident answers the phone and
pushes the number 9, the gate will
open.
If you do not have a gate code,
contact the Clubhouse at 407-2397901.
2.) The resident may give permission for gate access to the provider
by:
• faxing the Clubhouse at 407239-8485.
• e m a i l i n g
[email protected]
• calling the gate building 407947-3109. Please note that calls for
access may not be made more than
24 hours prior to service.
Vistonian
Gate access permission must include the resident's name, Vista address, phone number, name of the
service provider/company, type of
service and date access is needed.
Pursuant to a community rule,
residents who improperly loan gate
access cards or decals to non-residents will be considered in violation
of this rule, which may result in deactivation of all current gate cards/
decals, and be subject to reactivation
fees.
Reminders: Cards may be used
in either lane and can be read from
18 inches away. The cards do not
have to be placed on or close to the
reader. Some windows with tinting
and some glass made from certain
materials may prevent cards from
being read without rolling the window down. If you have a problem
with your card or decal, please come
to the Clubhouse and we will assist
you.
You may purchase new cards and
decals at the Clubhouse Monday
through Friday from 10:00 am - 4:00
pm. If you are unable to make this
schedule, contact the Clubhouse staff
for special arrangements.
YARD WASTE PICK-UP
Waste Services, our regular trash and
recycle service provider, will now be
responsible for the pick-up of yard
waste which is scheduled on
Wednesday with overflow on Thursday. The following will outline the
procedures for yard waste pickup
and also requirements as stated in
the Vista del Lago Rules and Regulations.
Community Rule #18 states:
"Grass and yard waste are to be
bagged separately. They are not to
be mixed with garbage or trash.
Grass and yard waste are to be contained in a secured plastic bag, limbs
are to be no longer than 3 ft. and tied
in bundles and placed at a desig-
Vista del Lago
nated location". Yard waste will not
be picked up if it is in cans, containers or longer than 3 ft. bundles.
Yard waste that is in excess of 3
ft., or is not bundled and tied (including palm fronds & tree branches); or
items weighing more than 50 lbs.
will be tagged and not picked up until
the situation is corrected. Yard waste
is required to be placed at curbside
prior to 6:00 am on Wednesday
mornings.
We appreciate your cooperation
and if you have any problems, please
call Waste Services at 407-261-5000.
APPROVAL FOR CHANGES
TO HOME OR HOMESITE
The community Rules and Regulations require prior approval of
changes to the home or homesite. If
you plan to do any improvements or
changes to your home or homesite,
an Architectural Review Application
must be completed. Items such as
exterior painting, landscaping
changes, driveway extension, lawn
replacement, storage sheds, patio or
screen enclosure additions, roofs or
other exterior renovations are included. You must submit an application and obtain written approval
prior to starting the changes. Come
to the Clubhouse to obtain a form
and for more details.
WILDLIFE
DO NOT FEED THE WILDLIFE!
In Florida it is illegal to feed raccoons, sandhill cranes, bears, foxes,
and alligators. Violators can be
charged with a second degree misdemeanor punishable by up to a
$500 fine and 60 days in jail. It is
the homeowner's responsibility to
maintain their homesites and if you
are having an issue with wildlife on
your lot you can call Animal Control
or an animal trapper. Reminder that
alligators are in our ponds and
lakes and swimming is prohibited.
