New Law on Code Complaints (July 25, 2021)

Thank you, Barb O'Connell, for bringing this matter to neighborhood attention. Read full specifications below from The Cape Coral Breese.

Beginning July 1, there is a new state law that restricts code inspectors from investigating minor noise and code violations if the person making the report doesn't provide their name and address. These reports include calling 311, by phone, in person, by mail, or by e-mail. However, all "imminent threats," which include public health, welfare, or imminent destruction of habitat or sensitive resources, will be investigated regardless of whether personal information was given by the person reporting it.

Neighborhood Tree Management Opportunity (March 10, 2021)

The topic of tree management came up at our annual meeting. As a follow-up, we offer this opportunity to Shamrock Lakes Neighborhood homeowners—access to tree management services (trimming, feeding, disease control) to interested homeowners.

Paul Fischer will do the work. Paul lives in our neighborhood (123 SE 12^th Court) and has been in the tree management business since the late 1980s. His business, Fischer’s Lawn, Landscape and Tree Service, Inc., is ranked #1 on Yellow Pages with a 5-Star Rating. Paul is licensed and insured. Here is his Facebook page and website:  https://www.facebook.com/FischersLawnLandscapeTreeService/  

HOME | fischerslltinc.com

Let us know if you would like to talk with Paul about one or more tree management issues. We’ll collect names/addresses and forward them to Paul, who will be in touch with you. There is no obligation once you speak with him. 

To do this work efficiently, our goal is to have all the work completed in a concentrated timeframe, hopefully in March.

If you are interested, please contact Debbie Breclaw, SLHA Board member, at [email protected] or 239-464-9420. Please contact Debbie by Sun. March 14. Thank you!

                                         COYOTE SEEN IN NEIGHBORHOOD (posted November 5, 2020)

Several neighbors have spotted a coyote on SE 12th Ave--in the vacant lot by 200 SE 12th Ave. Please exercise caution, especially at night and when walking with pets. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says there have been numerous coyote sightings recently in SWFL. Coyotes shy away from human contact but small animals (domestic and wild) are at high risk. Keep your pet on a leash at all times. If you observe coyote activity, please post details on this website (Comments forum) so we can share info with authorities. 


                                       ‘Little Free Library’ Charter #109285 (posted September 18, 2020)

'Little Free Libraries' are a global phenomenon. The small, front‐yard book exchanges number 100,000+ around the world in 80 countries — from Iceland to Tasmania to Pakistan. Now, a new Little Free Library will join the movement to share books, bring people together and create communities of readers. Shamrock Lakes residents Susan Monteleone and Jack Davis invite you to stop by 1208 SE 3rd St., Cape Coral, FL 33990, and see the results of their collaborative effort. Susan and Jack hope that this endeavor will bring a little more joy, a little more connection, and a whole lot more books to the folks in and around the Shamrock Lakes community. The Little Free Library nonprofit organization has been honored by the Library of Congress, the National Book Foundation, and the American Library Association, and Reader’s Digest named them one of the “50 Surprising Things We Love about America.” Each year, nearly 10 million books are shared in Little Free Libraries.

Decisions Reached at Our 2020 Annual Meeting (February)

ALERT: New Irrigation Rules, Effective Sat Apr 25

 What to Do About Traffic on SE 12 Ave?
  (posted March 1, 2020)  

SURVEY RESULTS: Approximately 30% of the approximately 85 households registered at our website responded to the neighborhood survey. Those responding favored one of the options presented—install a device to monitor auto speed. The option had the highest score (that is, most liked selections minus least liked selections) of 7 votes. No other option came close. For your information, please find below all the written responses to the survey. 

CITY TRAFFIC STUDY: The problem with implementing the preferred option (or doing anything, for that matter) is the City’s response based on its traffic study. The City has concluded that our situation does NOT rise to the level of taking any action, including installing a speed monitoring device, having a police car presence, lowering the speed limit, or posting red flags on the speed limit signs. The Police Department contact said that we can pursue one option (if we so choose)—lobbying our council member to request that the City construct a sidewalk on one side of SE 12th Ave (to serve as a buffer from the roadway). 

BOARD ASSESSMENT: It is the judgment of the Shamrock Lakes Board that we NOT pursue the sidewalk option unless there is strong support for that move—especially from SE 12th Ave. homeowners. At the same time, the Board concluded that ‘doing nothing’ is an unacceptable option. 

With that in mind, we recommend taking one step and, possibly, taking a second step.

--Create a sign and post it on the post located at our entranceway.

--If we don’t observe a noticeable difference, then we recommend taking a second step—that is, securing the support of two SE 12th Ave. homeowners to post signs on their property (one facing north, the other facing south) with a speed caution message on each sign. We’d position the signs sufficiently away from the roadway to avoid City removal.

YOUR THOUGHTS: You may have other ideas about what to do. We’ve created a FORUM at our website for input/discussion. Find it on the right side of our homepage, “Share Thoughts.” You can also contact any member of your neighborhood board.

Frank Fear on behalf of the SLHA Board of Directors 

HERE IS A FULL LIST OF SURVEY COMMENTS:

1. All of the speeding on SE 12th Ave I have experienced in the 5 yrs I've lived here are residents, appears to be mostly Big Macho Trucks & some sports cars.

2. This has been a long time issue.

3. I think most speeders are not residents of the neighborhood.

4. Although I don't like speeders, I would be STRONGLY opposed to speed bumps.

5. I do not agree with ANY of these choices. Drop the speed limit to 20 and then, maybe, people will slow down to 30. As someone who's walked this street for 12 years now, I can tell you the speeders are the pool cleaners, the snowbirds, UPS & Fed Ex.

6. All service trucks.

7. I don't live on 12th so moderate my answers accordingly.

8. I have not noticed a problem.

9. Drivers don't read signs so doubt anything will help.

10. Thx for working on problem. Might have try several.

11. We don't live on SE 12th Ave. But we frequently walk and bike that street. The cars often slow.

12. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job addressing.

13. A Cruiser sitting around would bring everyone to attention.

14. Thank you!

15. I haven’t noticed much speeding. The speed limit is 30, which looks a lot faster to observers than drivers if that makes sense.

16. Thanks for your efforts.

17. Speed bumps will slow down police, ambulance and fire response, not to mention breaking their axles. A sidewalk will undoubtedly cause the removal of MANY palm trees on one side of the road. Try flashing the car speed for a while and then TICKETS.

18. From what I see, there are more residents speeding on SE 12th Ave and throughout Shamrock Lakes.

19. We believe the speed limit should be no more than 25 mph.

20. I have never seen anyone speeding on SE 12th Ave.

21. I don’t really know who the speeders are.

22. I've dealt with these situations a number of times including numerous traffic surveys. 90% + it is residents. I vote for stop sticks.

23. Approx. the past month a duck was hit a killed by a speeding vehicle and a squirrel was hit and killed by a different speeding vehicle. Station police (human not just the cruiser) or sidewalks.

24. Let's get something done. Very dangerous for our walkers and pets.

25. I'm worried about a worst-case scenario (that is, somebody getting hit) if we don't do something to curb speeding.

                                  MUSCOVY DUCK MANAGEMENT IN SHAMROCK LAKES (February 14, 2020)

This isn't an easy topic to discuss because some neighbors find Muscovy Ducks endearing, 
while other neighbors view them as pests.

No matter how anybody feels, know that Muscovy Ducks are an invasive species.  
Because of that status, Lee County has passed an ordinance regarding Muscovy Duck management.

We thank neighbor Richard Bradstreet for providing info in that regard at our annual neighborhood meeting. Here is the Lee County Ordinance regarding Muscovy Ducks.

*9; SECTION 10: MUSCOVY DUCKS AS NUISANCES Animal Services is hereby given the authority to declare Muscovy ducks to be a public nuisance. If a public nuisance is determined to exist, Animal Services may break the eggs and humanely euthanize the ducks or authorize other qualified individuals to do the same. Where a nuisance is created by a Muscovy Duck or ducks, and the person responsible for the ducks can be determined, the person may be issued a citation for contributing to the creation of a public nuisance. The possession of or feeding of Muscovy ducks on public property and private property zoned residential is hereby prohibited.*

**What does it mean for Shamrock Lakes?**

**It is ILLEGAL TO FEED Muscovy Ducks.** This practice must stop. Besides, Lee County authorities deem human feeding to be unnecessary because our environment provides ducks with an abundance of edible options. Neighbors are upset at other neighbors who are feeding ducks. Because feeding Muscovy Ducks is illegal, Lee County has set high fines for engaging in that practice—$150 for a first offense, $250 for a second offense, and a court appearance with MINIMUM $500 penalty for subsequent offenses.

**If you determine ducks to be pests, what can YOU do? **
(Note: Action can be taken ONLY on your property and not on other properties.)

**HOW TO KEEP MUSCOVY DUCKS FROM INVADING YOUR PROPERTY/LEAVING YOUR PROPERTY:** Lee County recommends securing a PEST COMPANY and asking the company to apply a non-toxic solution (typically in the form of animal urine at the property border) so that the smell repels ducks from your property. [You can read more information about that option here](http://lee.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/environmental-health/sanitary-nuisances/muscovy-ducks.html).

**HOW TO REMOVE MUSCOVY DUCKS FROM YOUR PROPERTY: **Property owners have the legal right to remove ducks from their property. However, STRICT RULES apply about how property owners may take action.

1) **It is ILLEGAL TO RELOCATE Muscovy Ducks to the wild. **
2) **EUTHANASIA IS THE ONLY LEGAL OPTION AVAILABLE.** At issue is HOW that is done. First and foremost, eradication must be done humanely. Know that pistols, rifles, and other similar firearms cannot be discharged legally in the City of Cape Coral. And evidence shows that the use of other means (e.g., pellet or BB guns) often violates the norm of humane treatment. So we recommend contacting a wildlife management service ([an example is Total Wildlife Control](https://totalwildlifecontrol.com/critter-facts-control/muscovy-duck/) to handle eradication for you.


Neighborhood board members are available to discuss this matter, including helping you work through legal and humane solutions. Contact Frank Fear at [email protected] and 517/648-8801 re next steps or talk with any board member—Debbie Breclaw, Kathy Fear, Joe Kulnig, Jane Manske, Barb O’Connell, Stacy Pasek, or Bill Whisler.

THREE ISSUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

(October 26, 2019)

Shamrock Lakes Neighbors, 

When I was working full-time, I hated receiving notices about an issue that I knew applied to one person or just a few people, not to the lot of us. As an exec, I hated sending out those messages, too. But I also knew why: people were complaining. 

That is happening now in Shamrock Lakes.

First, ALL DOG-WALKERS MUST CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR PET DOES BUSINESS. If anybody disrespects this obvious rule--and you know who's doing it--document it and report it via the Cape Coral 311 Center at  311 https://etrakit.capecoral.net/etrakit3/CRM/issue.aspx  Let me know, too. 

Second, SPEEDING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD is always a problem, but IT'S A PARTICULAR PROBLEM WHEN IT'S ONE OF OUR OWN PEOPLE. If you catch a neighbor speeding repeatedly, contact me so that we can talk about how to proceed. 

Third, Shamrock Lakes' properties will only remain marketable if each of us MAINTAIN OUR PREMISES. A FUNDAMENTAL STEP IS LAWN MOWING. If a neighbor has issues in that regard, reach out respectfully to find out why. If the neighbor needs help, let's put our heads together and figure out how we can help. If your intervention is ignored, contact Cape Coral 311.

I feel like I'm lecturing, but please also know that I'm receiving calls and emails, which means people are upset. So while I'm at it, let me close with another lecture. When dealing with any of these matters, don't let emotions get the better of you. I worry about a bad situation leading to something worse.  

Frank Fear
