Sent 2025-04-26: Common Courtesy Request -  

When a 'mess' is made in a common area in our community, it is common courtesy to clean it up yourself, notify a SEPO employee for assistance or notify a board member for assistance.

 

Last week, a board member was notified that there was human feces on the floor in the fitness room women's bathroom. This unhealthy situation was not attended to for almost 24 hours. This is unacceptable for so many reasons.  We understand accidents happen, but PLEASE don't leave a mess and then walk away without doing something. If you see something, say something so these situations can be addressed immediately.

Thank you.     - SEPO Board​

Hi,

This is to address the conversations, emails and phone calls I've had with many of the owners at Sunshine, about the email John Chajec recently sent.

 

John sent an email to many in the community talking about the drainage ditches, retention area and the possibility of dredging in the wetland area near Texas Ave.

 

I believe the thought is to allow for more water to be stored in the retention area.

 

I reached out to Pat Harvey to see what the history was with this area and if Sunshine had ever dredged there? Pat said that Sunshine had not.

 

Pat told me he reached out to many of the local government entities and the state, when they were doing improvements to Texas Ave.

 

And was told that it was under the jurisdiction of the Army Core of Engineers.

 

Pat had a conversation with them and the short version was do not dig, fill or disturb the area that John is referring to, as the retention area. It is part of a Watershed District they control.

 

Pat told me that the Army Core of Engineers had created the pond west of Sunshine when the intestate was built.

 

One of the items John discussed in his email was how much water from our neighbors comes into Sunshine. We are unfortunately from my observations and the phone call with Pat, the low spot in the neighborhood.

 

So any heavy rains in the area, ultimately go through those ditches behind Minnesota Ave. And if the ditches north and east (downstream) are full, there's no where for our water to go.

 

I think I understand the intent of the email and I'm sympathetic to those concerns, but having spoken to Pat about this and his conversation with the Army Core of Engineers, I don't see removing material from that area as an option for storing excess water.

 

If anyone has other information about this area, feel free to contact me.

Hi all!     Someone has unplugged the pump at the Texas Avenue dog park. 

If there’s a problem with the pump please let me know or the office. 

The pump is on a GFI outlet, but where it’s at is in standing water.

If that GFI fails you could get electrocuted. 

Lalo is installing a lock on the box.

Thank you

For you walkers out there, over the next few weeks, if you wouldn’t mind keeping an eye out for nails and screws in the road. It’s not really a late Easter egg hunt, but it would help our community tremendously. If you pick up more than 20 in a day, you can brag if you wish.

 

However, as a reminder there is a section in the

SEPO Policies & Procedures

that directly addresses this sort of situation.

 

CONSTRUCTION

The disposal of any residue from a resident/homeowner’s construction site is the responsibility of the property owner. It is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the site in an orderly and safe condition. Any building material (nail, screw, etc.) originating from the site that might puncture a tire found on an adjacent street or driveway and turned in to the SEPO Office shall result in a fine of $10 per item. The fine shall be added to the homeowner’s monthly or annually assessed association fees.
