The Lifestyle Office promotes Stone Creek’s active adult community through
the management of Charter Clubs, Interest Groups, Committees, and Neighborhoods.
This office partners with these clubs and groups to reserve space for regular meetings
and special events.  Our office also lends publicity support through monthly newsletters,
flyers, website postings, and electronic communications.
 
 
Pam Babbitt, was hired as the new Lifestyle Director in May 2022. Mary Ann
Elworthy, hired in April and Elise Ferrara, hired in June, are both Lifestyle Coordinators.
Joanne Majtenyi, a part time Lifestyle Assistant, was added to the team in July.
 
 
The number and scope of Lifestyle Office sponsored events will increase in
2023. Improving and updating guidelines for Charter Club procedures will be a focus for
the coming year. The launch of the new advertising campaign in January will generate an
additional source of revenue.

Water Conservation Interest Group
Water Conservation Interest Group
 
We are a group of concerned residents who want to provide our
neighbors with information and assistance on how to conserve
water in and around their homes.
We started about a year ago after a Florida Friendly Landscaping
class. We learned that Stone Creek is a “very heavy user” of water.
We have a “core group” of about a dozen residents and have grown
to about 250 “Interested Residents.”
We want residents to save money, protect Florida’s aquifer, learn
Florida Friendly Landscaping, provide habitats for butterflies, bees
and other pollinators, learn about turf reduction incentives and
water rebate programs.

What are our goals for the next few years?
Run a successful pilot program in Sebastian that can be a model for the rest of Stone Creek
Grow our number of “interested residents”
Continue running seminars to meet the needs of the residents
Establish volunteer committees to help residents program their irrigation controllers more

What is the projected build out number of homes and the timeline?
We are capped at 4000 total units.
Will develop/pave the final phase 2/1/27 – homebuilding likely to be completed
Q1 2028
Has the HOA ever completed a strategic risk assessment?
Yes, and there is a new reserve study planned for 2023, these are typically
performed every 3 years.
 
When will the Developer or the HOA work with mobile cell services to
provide adequate cell coverage for Stone Creek?
Cell phone towers coverage is not an HOA responsibility, and a provider would
have to make a decision to enter any community.
What is the status of repair and cost of the depression in Little Lake
Arlington?
We had a meeting with the Arlington residents on 12/5.  Current status is we
have identified some additional depressions and liner repairs near the bottom of
the pond which are currently being repaired.
 
46
 
 
 
47
 
What is the status on the New Amenity Building?
Targeting a Mid-July grand opening at this time
What is the s
tatus of the new pool?
No timeline to share yet but will build before final community build out
When will another entrance be added?
We will start development next year and build the secondary entrance near the RV park, but
this will be emergency access only, not resident access.
Is there any interest in eliminating or reducing the 50% "sodded grass lawn"
requirement in order to conserve water, reduce the amount of time, energy, and money
devoted to lawn maintenance,  reduce noise and air pollution associated with lawn
maintenance, and provide residents with more options to deal with lawn pests?
Future homes are now being landscaped to SWFWMD Water Star requirements – we have some
collateral that we could share that explains this program.
 
 
 
 
 
 
48
 
What can be done for garden homes residents to be able to take over their own
lawn care and landscaping, rather than the vendor, Brightview
There is currently no provisions for homes with managed landscapes to be taken over by
private entities.  We are consistently working with our partner vendors to provide the best
service to owners.  In the event that a vendor is unable to deliver the executed contract the
relationship with that vendor will be taken into consideration by the Board.
Does HOA have any cost reduction plans/activities that are active on
groundskeeping?   Example would be removal of old brushes, grasses and trees
without replacing the same to prevent reoccurring cost.
We are currently working with Brightview to remove dead landscaping throughout the
common areas in the community.  When plant replacements are considered performance
of the previous landscaping installation will be considered to ensure that proper plant
selection is made for new plantings.
Brightview is always changing the flowers in the common areas. It seems to me
what we spend in our HOA fees to pay for replacing annual flowers would be cost
effective to plant perennials.
Industry standard for Annuals flowers is a quarterly rotation of annuals specific to the
season in which they are being planted.
 
 
 
 
49
 
Golf c
arts from On Top of the can bypass the security gate now tha
t cart path is
complete. Will t
he road OTOW created behind the homes in Arlington will be secure ?
Not aware of this issue and if OTOW will do anything on their property. The HOA can look into this
issue further.
 
Are dogs allowed on our lawns and grass area between curb and sidewalk to relieve? If
not what is your recommendation to enforce this problem?
Dogs are not allowed in the common areas unless the common areas are designated for dogs.
Dogs are also not allowed on other lots or HOA rights-of-way. If a dog were to use the restroom
in a common area, it is the responsibility of the pet owner to maintain.  Any observed violations
should be reported to the HOA office.  In order for a report to be actionable the report would
need to include the violating owner’s information and sufficient evidence that a violation
occurred.
 
Why are small tree limbs/branches not picked up around the community?
Small debris should be picked up when the area is attended to on its regular maintenance
schedule.  If there is debris left behind after a crew has tended to the common area, then it
should be reported to the landscape manager so that it can be addressed.

  43. What is the projected build out number of homes and the timeline? We are capped at 4000 total units. Will develop/pave the final phase 2/1/27 homebuilding likely to be completed Q1 2028 Has the HOA ever completed a strategic risk assessment? Yes, and there is a new reserve study planned for 2023, these are typically performed every 3 years. When will the Developer or the HOA work with mobile cell services to provide adequate cell coverage for Stone Creek? Cell phone towers coverage is not an HOA responsibility, and a provider would have to make a decision to enter any community. What is the status of repair and cost of the depression in Little Lake Arlington? We had a meeting with the Arlington residents on 12/5. Current status is we have identified some additional depressions and liner repairs near the bottom of the pond which are currently being repaired. 46

  44. What is the status on the New Amenity Building? Targeting a Mid-July grand opening at this time What is the status of the new pool? No timeline to share yet but will build before final community build out When will another entrance be added? We will start development next year and build the secondary entrance near the RV park, but this will be emergency access only, not resident access. Is there any interest in eliminating or reducing the 50% "sodded grass lawn" requirement in order to conserve water, reduce the amount of time, energy, and money devoted to lawn maintenance, reduce noise and air pollution associated with lawn maintenance, and provide residents with more options to deal with lawn pests? Future homes are now being landscaped to SWFWMD Water Star requirements we have some collateral that we could share that explains this program. 47

  45. What can be done for garden homes residents to be able to take over their own lawn care and landscaping, rather than the vendor, Brightview There is currently no provisions for homes with managed landscapes to be taken over by private entities. We are consistently working with our partner vendors to provide the best service to owners. In the event that a vendor is unable to deliver the executed contract the relationship with that vendor will be taken into consideration by the Board. Does HOA have any cost reduction plans/activities that are active on groundskeeping? Example would be removal of old brushes, grasses and trees without replacing the same to prevent reoccurring cost. We are currently working with Brightview to remove dead landscaping throughout the common areas in the community. When plant replacements are considered performance of the previous landscaping installation will be considered to ensure that proper plant selection is made for new plantings. Brightview is always changing the flowers in the common areas. It seems to me what we spend in our HOA fees to pay for replacing annual flowers would be cost effective to plant perennials. Industry standard for Annuals flowers is a quarterly rotation of annuals specific to the season in which they are being planted. 48

  46. Golf carts from On Top of the can bypass the security gate now that cart path is complete. Will the road OTOW created behind the homes in Arlington will be secure ? Not aware of this issue and if OTOW will do anything on their property. The HOA can look into this issue further. Are dogs allowed on our lawns and grass area between curb and sidewalk to relieve? If not what is your recommendation to enforce this problem? Dogs are not allowed in the common areas unless the common areas are designated for dogs. Dogs are also not allowed on other lots or HOA rights-of-way. If a dog were to use the restroom in a common area, it is the responsibility of the pet owner to maintain. Any observed violations should be reported to the HOA office. In order for a report to be actionable the report would need to include the violating owner s information and sufficient evidence that a violation occurred. Why are small tree limbs/branches not picked up around the community? Small debris should be picked up when the area is attended to on its regular maintenance schedule. If there is debris left behind after a crew has tended to the common area, then it should be reported to the landscape manager so that it can be addressed. 49
