Holiday Haven Mobile Home Park
8301 New York Ave.
Hudson, FL 34667
A 55+ community in Hudson, Florida
Holiday Haven is a small park of 24 spaces occupied by resident-owned mobile homes. We are a quiet community, and don't have the amenities that larger parks have such as a clubhouse and recreational activities. Holiday Haven is just a nice quiet place to live. Most of our residents live here year 'round, but a few are snowbirds, arriving in the fall and leaving late spring.
Occasionally someone in the park will put his mobile home up for sale. Anyone wishing to buy a home in the park must get the approval of the park owners to live here.Click here for an Application for approval which can be printed. After it's filled out, please mail to address below or fax it, toll free, to (866) 785-2402 and we will notify you within 3 days or sooner if you are approved. (It's a bad idea to give anyone money to buy a home until you know you are approved. Depending on the age of the home, current Florida law could prohibit you from placing the mobile home in another park.)
Lot rent is currently $225 per month, paid monthly by check or money order to the owners:

In accordance with Florida Statute 723, the Park has established Park Rules and Regulations which must be read and agreed to before moving into the Park, and adherred to at all times. We call these Guidelines for Community Living, and they are intended to safeguard the peace, respect and privacy of the residents of the park. Read them below:
All reasonable means are being taken to ensure that your residency in Holiday
Haven is pleasant and enjoyable. Many of the Guidelines for Community
Living are based on the requirements of Florida law, and the others are
to assist in the peaceful enjoyment of all Residents.
These Guidelines are intended to maintain the appearance and comfort of the
Community for you and your visitors. A copy of the Guidelines will
be posted in the Park and must be observed by all Residents and guests (invitees).
From time to time rules may be changed or additional rules may be added.
Residents shall require all persons on the lot with their consent to govern
themselves in accordance with the Guidelines and in a manner that does not
unreasonably disturb their neighbors or constitute a breach of peace.
The Holiday Haven is zoned for mobile homes and, and although previous owners
re-zoned one portion for Commercial use, the current Owners have no plans
for any use other than as a mobile home park.
1.
ENFORCEMENT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS.
A. A prerequisite for admittance to this home community is that the prospective
Resident be informed of each Rule and Regulation. Prior to admission to this
community, each Resident must sign an acknowledgment that he has read and
received a copy of the Guidelines for Community Living as set forth herein.
Please note that ignorance of a Rule and Regulation cannot be accepted as
an excuse for violation. Every effort will be made by Management to ensure
that the Guidelines for Community Living are enforced and that your safety
and comfort are not disturbed. Your cooperation is absolutely essential in
enforcing these rules.
B. Notwithstanding Community Owner’s express intent to enforce the Community
Guidelines and to require compliance therewith by all Community residents,
compliance and enforcement is a matter between the Community Owner and the
offending resident, and as such, no other home owner or resident has any right
against the Community Owner relative to enforcement of the Guidelines against
another resident.
2.
NOTICE OF VIOLATION OF GUIDELINES.
Management will contact Residents who violate a regulation by means of a personal
visit, a telephone call, written note and/or a NOTICE OF RULE VIOLATION will
be sent. It is expected that all Residents will correct the violation within
the amount of time noted on the violation. Constant violation could lead to
eviction proceedings. Please note that your total adherence is essential to
provide you and your neighbors a peaceful surrounding.
3. ACCEPTANCE OF RENT/LATE CHARGE & DELINQUENT NOTICE.
Rents are to be paid monthly to:
Hudson Holiday Haven, LLC
P.O. Box 1573
Holmes Beach, FL 34218-1573
Rent is due on the first day of each month and must be paid on or before the 10th day of the month. A Late Charge of $5.00 will be charged to all Residents whose rent is not received by Management on or before the 10th day of the month. If Resident chooses to pay their rent with a personal check, a $25.00 charge will be assessed against any check that is not honored for any reason. Payment will only be accepted with your personal check, money order, cashier’s or certified check. However, in theevent a check is returned not paid for any reason or proceedings are instituted to enforce Management’s rights, only a certified check or a money order will be accepted for payment. For safety purposes, cash is not accepted for any reason. In the event that the Resident fails to pay rent or other charges on or before the 10th day of the month, Management will issue a Delinquent Notice requiring the Resident to either pay all monies due or remove their home from the community. In the event that Management chooses to initiate legal proceedings for eviction, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a reasonable attorney fee in addition to court costs.
A. Any person applying for admittance as a Resident of the Community must
fill out an application for residency and be interviewed by Community Management/Owner.
All prospective residents must be approved by Community Owner and prior to
taking possession of a home currently in the Community or moving a home into
the Community. Management has the right to reject a prospective Resident for
any reason not prohibited by law. Management will not approve a prospective
Resident who provides false or misleading statements, whether orally or in
writing, within the rental application or in any statement or document offered
in support of a request for residency approval.
No one other than those approved shall be allowed to own or to reside in the
park. The purchase of a resident’s home by those who have not obtained
approval from Community Owner shall not constitute permission or right for
the purchaser(s) to reside within the Community. An Application for Residency
and credit check must be completed and approved, and a copy of the Guidelines
signed prior to: (i) arrival of the Resident’s home in the Community;
or (ii) the transfer of title when the home is already in the Community. The
Community Owner reserves the right to: (i) refuse to accept further rent and
terminate the Rental Agreement of anyone who, after notice, fails to comply
with these Guidelines; and (ii) refuse rental to any applicant.
B. Mobile homes must be owner occupied. Within 7 days after approval,
new residents must submit a copy of title showing proof of ownership to Management.
If proof of ownership is not provided, then approval of residency will be
withdrawn.
C. This Community is intended, operated and maintained for the occupancy,
use and benefit of persons 55 years of age or older. As such, this Community
adheres to and enforces the requirements of the “Housing for Older Persons
Act” of 1995. Consequently, at least 80% of the homes must be occupied
by or designated for at least one person who is 55 years of age or older as
of the date of occupancy and any other occupant must be 45 years of age or
older. In the event the oldest occupant of a home dies or vacates the home,
the remaining occupant(s) may continue as a resident(s) of the Community and
an occupant of the home as long as at least 80 percent of the occupied homes
in the Community, including that occupied by the remaining resident(s), are
occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older.
D. At the time of application for initial occupancy or upon request of Community
Management, a prospective resident shall, for purposes of age verification,
produce for inspection and copying one of the following: driver’s license;
birth certificate, passport; immigration card; military identification; or
other valid local, state, national or international document of comparable
reliability containing the prospective resident’s birth date.
E. On January 1st of each even-numbered year, beginning January 2006, all
existing residents shall be required to provide the names and ages, with copies
of an above-referenced document proving age, of all current occupants of the
home, in writing, to Community Management. At this same time, occupants shall
also deliver a copy of mobile home title proving owner occupancy. These documents
will be kept as required by Florida Statute 723, in a private file only for
viewing by state official who may audit for proof of compliance of 55+ Park
rule.
F. Single wide mobile homes are limited to two occupants and doublewide homes
to three occupants, all of whom must be approved. Written approval of the
Community Manager is required for any change in occupants of the home.
G. INVITEES/GUESTS. An invitee or guest is a person whose stay at the request
of the mobile home owner does not exceed 15 consecutive days or 30 total days
per year. All persons who are not registered with Community Management as
approved occupants of a home within the Community are defined as invitees
or guests. Residents shall be responsible for the conduct of their guests.
All guests must comply with the Community Guidelines. Guests shall not be
permitted to reside or stay in the Community in the absence of the Resident.
Guests will not be allowed to bring a dog or any other animal into the Community
with them at any time, even for a daily visit. Seeing-eye dogs are permitted
for the sight impaired. A invitee must vacate the Community within 24 hours
of delivery to the Home Owner or the guest of a written demand to vacate.
H. Failure to provide documentation verifying the ages of all residents and
proof of owner occupancy of the home shall constitute a violation of these
Guidelines, and are subject to eviction for Rules Violations.
I. Visitors, children or adults, are not permitted to loiter in the streets
or in the yards of other residents, or to pass through other residents’
yards, and violations of this Rule are considered to be violations by the
Resident.
J. “Quiet time” is 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.

A. Prospective residents of the Community must be approved by Community Management
based upon: (1) completion of a questionnaire provided for this purpose; (2)
credit, background and reference check and criminal history check; and (3)
an interview of all persons planning to occupy the home. Such written approval
will not be unreasonably withheld; however, Community Management does reserve
the right to refuse admission to the Community by any person(s) not deemed
suitable to Community Management in its sole discretion. Any misrepresentation,
whether written or oral, made by the prospective Resident in information provided
on the Approval Request or credit application; or statements as to number,
age, or identity of persons residing in the home; or about pets, personal
background, or past landlords, or any such misrepresentation shall be deemed
a conclusive breach of the Lot Rental Agreement and shall void the approval
of the request for occupancy.
B. The tenant must provide evidence of gainful employment and provide the
name, address and telephone number of the employer and the name of the supervisor,
if applicable, so that employment information and salary can be verified,
and must provide consent to the employer to divulge the information to Community
Management. Tenants living on investment or pension income, social security,

evidence showing ownership of the mobile home to be located in the park, and
the name, address, account number and telephone number of any lien holder.

6. PROCEDURES FOR SALE OF HOME
A. A Home Owner has the right to sell his home within the Community, and the
prospective purchaser may become a resident of the Community. However, the
prospective purchaser must qualify pursuant to the requirements of the Guidelines,
complete the requisite application, and be approved by Community Management.
Thus, any prospective homeowner must qualify for and obtain prior written
approval of Community Management to become a resident of the Community.
B. (1) Notice to the Community Owner.
A Resident intending to make a bona fide sale of his home or any interest
in it shall give to the Community Owner notice of such intention to place
his home for sale. Community Owner will then provide Resident with Approval
Request forms for prospective buyers to complete. This should be mailed or
faxed to Community Owner, together with a copy of purchase contract contingent
upon approval, and including the purchase price and terms of proposed sale.
If prospective buyer is approved for Park residency, within seven (7) days
of transfer of title, change in financing, or purchase of Resident’s
home, a true copy of the legal registration showing title registered in the
name of the purchaser and the name of the lien holder, if any, shall be provided
to Community Management by the Resident.
REMINDER: Homes must be owner-occupied which means that the title shows resident as owner of the mobile home.
(2) Application Form.
The Community Owner is vested with the authority to prescribe an application
form such as may require specific personal, social, financial and other data
relating to the intended purchaser as may reasonably be required by the Community
Owner in order to enable the Community Owner to responsibly investi-gate the
intended purchaser within the time limits extended to the Community Owner
for that purpose as hereinafter set forth and which application shall be completed
and submitted to the Community Owner along with and as an integral part of
the notice. A $20.00 application fee shall be charged to the Resident transferring
his home or lot, which fee shall accompany the application form.
(3) Failure to Obtain Approval of Community Owner. Any person who purchases
a home situated in the Community but does not, prior to purchase of the home,
qualify as and obtain consent of the Community Owner to become a resident
of the Community shall be subject to immediate eviction. Applicant will receive
approval within 15 days (or sooner) if approved.
C. Community Management shall have the right to inspect the exterior of the
home prior to approving a prospective purchaser as an acceptable Home Owner
in that home. Homes must meet all state and local code requirements, including
but not limited to anchoring, electrical and plumbing. Prior to written approval
of the purchaser, the seller and the purchaser must provide written assurance
to Community Management that any repairs or changes to the home will be made
as necessary to bring the home into compliance with Community standards as
set forth in these Guidelines. Community Management has the right to deny
approval of the prospective purchaser if such written assurance is not provided.
If the home is more than fifteen (15) years old, purchaser may be required
to furnish Community Management with a home inspection report from an established
home inspection firm, which document may be used to determine needed repairs
or upgrades.
D. Home Owner may display one “For Sale” sign, no larger than
12 inches x 16 inches, inside a window of the mobile home. This sign may display
only the words, “For Sale” or the equivalent plus an address or
telephone number where further information may be obtained. The display of
any commercial enterprise on the sign is prohibited. Because of safety and
security considerations, any home offered for sale must be registered with
the Community Office before a sign is displayed. All outside realtors, brokers
or service companies working in the Community must show proof of insurance
before starting work. Those without proof of insurance on file will be stopped
from performing work inside the Community until such proof of insurance is
presented to the Community Owner.
E. The Community Owner requires that any home not meeting the Community’s
established standards, as required by these Guidelines, or any home which
is improperly maintained, be upgraded to improve the quality and appearance
of the home. Failure to meet the Community’s requirements within 10
days of written notice shall be a violation of these Guidelines.
F. Community Management requires that Residents comply with the requirements
of all governmental agencies, including but not limited to those of the Department
of Motor Vehicles, State of Florida, Pasco County and HUD.
G. All homes within the community are subject to regular external inspections
and failure to comply with the standards stated in the Guidelines for Community
Living shall result in a Notice of Rule Violation and may result in termination
of tenancy.
A. In the event Home Owner intends to move his home from the Community he
must give written notice to Community Management of that intent at least 30
days prior to the moving date. Such move must be made between 8:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m. so Community Management may have an inspector present. Only transporters
of homes, properly authorized by governing authorities, are permitted to move
homes into or out of the Community. Such transporters must provide Community
Management with a certificate of insurance in the amount of $10,000.00 to
ensure against damage to Community property. Written permission from the Community
Owner is required prior to any move of a home either into or out of the Community.
All current charges must be paid in full before the home is moved from the
Community.
B. Any resident who should remove his home is responsible for removal of all
trash, steps, and other discarded materials. The home site must be left in
a clean and neat fashion. Any expenses incurred by Management in restoring
the site to its original condition will be charged to the Resident.
C. Community Management and owner assume no responsibility in the event
that a dealer, bank or other secured party should opt to remove the home of
a Resident from the Community.
A. The location and positioning of the home on the lot will be carried out
under the direction of Community Management. Community Management’s
written approval of the style and quality, size and type of all proposed additions
or other improvements to Home Owner’s home or lot will be subject to
Community Owner’s prior written approval and will be based on factors
such as the size, location, and the proposed location of equipment, additions
or other improvements in relationship to other lots in the Community. Only
new homes and used homes which have been approved in advance in writing by
Community Management as acceptable for location within the Community will
be allowed in the Community. A plot plan showing the location of the home,
accessory buildings and any improvements existing and proposed to the home
or lot shall be submitted to the Community Owner. Written approval from the
Community Owner is required prior to the commencement of any work.
B. Homes must be placed in a uniform manner, properly blocked, and all utilities
connected in accordance with Pasco County Code and with Community Management’s
specifications.

be met and completed by a licensed contractor under a building permit issued
by the Pasco County Building Department or other applicable local agency and
approved by the Community office.
(1) No air conditioning unit shall be located in the front window of the home
or front wall of any home, or any wall facing a street. (This limitation does
not apply to window air conditioning units installed prior to the effective
date of these Guidelines.) Only central air conditioning may be installed
in units coming into the Community.
(2) No aluminum foil or the like shall be placed in any window in the home.
(3) No fences are authorized to be built or maintained on any lot in this
Community without prior written approval by Community Owner. However, fences

easements are subject to government regulations regarding them and appropriate
permits must be obtained.

9. LOT IMPROVEMENTS BY HOME OWNER.
A. Any construction of or addition to a home, and its location, including
but not limited to porches, skirting, steps, awnings, utility buildings, air
conditioners, concrete slabs, carports, stone or concrete walkways, will not
be permitted unless the resident obtains prior written approval from the Community
Management and obtains the necessary governmental approvals and permits when
required. If electrical, mechanical or plumbing is upgraded, such upgraded
service shall be at the sole expense of the Home Owner. Approval is necessary
to protect the underground utilities, continuity of Community appearance,
and the safety of Community residents. In addition to all other remedies available
to it, Community Management may require Home Owner to remove any unapproved
construction or addition at the expense of Home Owner. Please consult the
Community Management before you do any digging, as certain utility and service
connections are underground. Cost of repairs will be assessed to the Home
Owner who damages any underground service. Each Homeowner is responsible for
the submission of complete plans or permits for anticipated alterations showing
compliance with Community Standards, county building and zoning codes, and
other restrictions of record. All improvements must be completed within thirty
(30) days. For additional information on Community Standards, please see “Lot
Care” below.
B. In the event the Home Owner wishes to extend the paving available to his
lot for use of a vehicle, he may do so after obtaining permission from Community
Management, and at the sole cost and expense of the Home Owner.
C. No pools, swing sets, or other outdoor recreational equipment or vehicles
are permitted.
D. Only umbrella-type clotheslines are permitted; however, prior written approval
of their specific location must first be obtained from Community Management.
All other types of clotheslines are prohibited and must be removed. Lines
and poles must be stored when not is use. Folding drying racks may also be
used for clothing hung outside; standard manufacturers’ heights must
be used. Lines for hanging clothes outside and lines strung between trees
or on carport supports will not be tolerated. Clotheslines are to be removed
when the home is to be vacated for two months or longer.
E. Utility sheds must be aluminum or painted sheet metal or other material
approved in writing in advance by Community Management prior to installation
and anchored on a poured concrete slab. They may not be erected on the patio
slab. A permit must be obtained from the Pasco County Building Department
and from Community Management before installing. Size must meet the prior
written approval of Community Management.
10. LOT CARE. It shall be the responsibility
of the Home Owner to ensure that his home and lot are properly maintained.
A. All Home Owners must maintain their home, yard, and all applicable buildings
in compliance with all county and State of Florida housing and health codes.
Each Home Owner shall be responsible for the maintenance and cleanliness of
his lot. Bottles, cans, boxes, equipment, etc. shall not be stored outside
or beneath the home, or in a screened enclosure or patio.
B. It shall be the responsibility of each Resident to keep the lawn mowed,
edged, trimmed, and watered. Sprinklers or hoses may not be left unattended.
Home Owner must mow, trim and edge along walkways, driveways and streets before
they become unsightly. Generally, this means mowing when lawn reaches approximately
three inches (3”) in height. The object is to keep Home Owner’s
lawns and the Community looking neat. During the summer months, which is Florida’s
rainy season, lawns normally need to be mowed about every seven (7) days.
If the grass reaches 5” in height, the Community Management/Owner may
cut the grass and bill the Homeowner, said bill to be paid within 7 days of
receipt. Sod destroyed or damaged by neglect, lack of water, vehicular traffic
or by any other means or for any other reason, must be repaired or replaced
at Resident’s expense. If, in the opinion of Management, all or part
of Home Owner’s lawn needs to be re-sodded, Home Owner will receive
written notice from Management to complete this repair within forty-five (45)
days at Home Owner’s expense. At its option, Community Management may
notify resident of his failure to comply with this provision. Upon failure
of resident to take appropriate corrective action within five (5) days after
receipt of notice, Community Management may, but has no obligation to, have
the necessary work performed, and shall have the right to charge Resident
the actual cost and expense incurred for materials, labor, and equipment.
C. The planting of trees, shrubbery, and flowers is encouraged; however, to
protect underground utilities, it is necessary to receive written approval
from Community Management prior to planting. Management reserves the right
to reject certain species of trees or shrubs as unsuitable for planting on
a home site and may suggest implementation of a specific landscape design.
Sod must be replaced by Home Owner where planting is removed. Existing trees
or shrubs must not be damaged or removed by Home Owner without permission
of the Community Manager. Home Owner is responsible for trimming and maintenance
and/or removal of all trees and shrubs located on the home lot. (Since the
Community has no official lot lines, a lot line is defined as halfway between
your home and your neighbor’s on either side.) For purposes of this
rule, any tree the trunk of which is entirely within the boundary of Home
Owner’s lot is considered to be “on the home lot.” Any tree
the trunk of which is on a boundary line of Home Owner’s lot is the
shared responsibility of the adjacent Home Owner (if the trunk is located
on a shared boundary line between two home lots) or of the Community Owner
(if the trunk is on a boundary line separating Home Owner’s lot from
a common area of the Community or from an unoccupied lot). Trees that are
the property of the Community (those the trunk of which is located entirely
within a common area of the Community) may be trimmed or removed by consent
of Community Management with costs shared equally by Homeowner and Community
Owner. Dead trees, or trees and shrubs damaged by high winds, or any other
act of God or in any other way, must be removed by Home Owner, at Home Owner’s
expense, within seven (7) days of occurrence of death or damage of the affected
tree or shrub. Vegetable gardening is not permitted on any lot. Trees and
shrubs must be kept well groomed at all times. Home Owner must cure any default
under this paragraph within two (2) weeks of written notice as provided herein.
11. COMMUNITY STANDARDS FOR HOMES AND HOME SITES.
A. All homes must be kept in good repair, including utility buildings. Residents
must immediately repair any water leaks in or from pipes or fixtures in, on
or under the home or lot. Broken windows, peeling paint, dull exterior of
a home, or dirt, grime or mildew visible from a Community roadway or an adjacent
lot must be corrected. The exterior surfaces of the home including the eaves
and trim shall be kept free of mildew or discoloration. Homes must be washed
at least annually! If not kept clean, the home may be cleaned by Community
Management and actual expense charged billed to Home Owner due and payable
when next rent is due. Changes from the original material and color of a screened
area must be approved by the Community Manager prior to installation. All
exterior materials used in upgrading must be approved in writing by the Community
Manager prior to their use on the home. The materials used must be consistent
with the types of materials used on new homes being brought into the community.
B. Obsolescence: As the home’s appearance ages, the home shall be resurfaced,
re-sided, re-roofed, lap-sided or replaced if deemed necessary or appropriate
by Community Owner or by Pasco County housing, health or code enforcement
personnel.
C. Should the Home Owner’s home be destroyed by fire, windstorm, an
act of God, or any other means, the Home Owner must remove the salvage from
the lot within fifteen (15) days from date of such event or from date of mailing
of written notice from Community Owner to Homeowner to remove same, whichever
is earlier. Before bringing another home into the Community, the Homeowner
and replacement home must be re-approved by Community Owner.
12. FLORIDA STATE LICENSE TAG.
A. All homeowners must maintain current state registration decal on their
homes. A copy of the current registration must be furnished to Community Management
by the home owner on an annual basis.
B. Current state license tag(s) shall be conspicuously displayed on the home
at all times. Place it in the lower left-hand corner of a window which faces
the street.
A. Inasmuch as the Community is maintained as a private enterprise, its streets
are private and not public thoroughfares.
B. Residents must park their vehicles on their own driveway. The Resident
is permitted one vehicle per lot, except with permission of Management provided
there is adequate room. Without prior written consent of Community Owner,
no vehicle shall be parked in or on Community common areas, other than those
areas specifically designated for parking. All vehicles must have liability
insurance in the minimum amount required by Florida law. The street right-of-way
may not be used for parking except for guests, provided they do not remain
more than five (5) hours. In the event there is not sufficient space, it is
the responsibility of the Resident to locate parking or storage outside the
Community lot and not on other Residents’ lots. Parking on roadways
within the Community or on lawns, swales, green areas or vacant lots or on
undeveloped portions of the Community is strictly prohibited. Vehicles are
not to be parked on the grass at any time. Only vehicles licensed and used
for daily personal transportation will be allowed to be stored in the Community.
All other vehicles must be removed from the lot. Community Management will
ban from the Community any vehicles which, in its sole judgment, interfere
with the peace, privacy, and/or general welfare of other Residents or with
the appearance of the Community. Vehicles in violation of these Guidelines
may be towed away without notice at the Home Owner’s expense, payable
to the towing service and not to the Community Owner. Residents are responsible
for guest’s vehicles.
C. Mechanical or other repair of vehicles, boats or trailers is not permitted
at the home site or elsewhere within the Community. Vehicles without current
licenses and tags, or which are inoperable or in a state of disrepair, including
but not limited to those which are rusted, dented, or unpainted or which are
missing external parts, are not to be stored on the lot or in any other area
within the Community. Washing of Resident’s personal vehicles is permitted
subject to any rules or regulations promulgated by any local, state, or federal
agency.
D. No truck larger than three-quarter (3/4) ton with pickup bed will be permitted
in the Community. All commercial trucks, boats, off-road vehicles, campers,
motor homes, step vans, or other large vehicles are not permitted in the Community.
Campers, motor homes, boats or delivery vehicles will be permitted reasonable
time for loading and unloading, but never overnight within the Community or
on any right-of-way. No person may remain overnight or to otherwise reside
in the Community in any camper, motor home or similar vehicle.
E. Motorcycles and mopeds operated by a Resident will be permitted only as
transportation on Community streets via the shortest route in and out of the
Community. No joyriding will be permitted within the Community by Resident
or guests. ATV’s, mini-bikes, dirt bikes, go-carts, or any motorized
vehicles not properly licensed are prohibited in the Community. All permitted
vehicles must have factory-type quiet mufflers.
G. Speed bumps, if installed, are a safety factor. The Community Owner or
Manager is not responsible for any damage or personal injury resulting from
contact with a speed bump.
H. Speed limit within the Community is 15 mph. Residents must inform all visiting
friends about the speed limit.
I. Roller skating and skateboarding are prohibited within the Community.
J. Bicycles, golf carts, and pedestrians have the right of way.
