SOME DOGS

To All Residents:

We have had a couple of complaints regarding unleashed dogs bolting from their yard when they see another dog walking with their owner and scaring the leashed pets or owners. We understand that the dogs are not aggressive and are just being playful, but this could result in injury to pets or owners. It also limits the enjoyment of other residents in walking their dogs.

We’d like to remind everyone that the Springs Homeowners Restrictions state the following in our Declaration of Restrictions:

Article 1, Section 8. Pets

No animals, birds, or fowl shall be kept or maintained on any lot, except dogs, cats and birds which may be kept thereon in reasonable numbers (not to exceed two (2) ) as pets for the pleasure and use of the resident and not for any commercial use or purpose. All animals must be kept on a leash when outside the owner’s Lot and must not become a nuisance to other residents by barking, running about or other acts.

Hillsborough County Ordinances:

Sec. 6-28. – Confinement to property; dogs and cats at large; exceptions.

a) Excluding public right-of-way on an owner’s private property, no dog or cat shall be allowed to stray, run or go, at large upon any public property or street, sidewalk, park, or on the private property of another without the consent of the property owner.

We appreciate your cooperation to ensure that your pets as well as your neighbors’ are safe.

Thank you.

This is to inform you of a complaint received from the Pine Ridge Subdivision regarding children with go-carts or golf carts.

We would strongly encourage all owners of these vehicles to address these concerns and to verify with appropriate authorities the laws governing the use of such vehicles on public County streets and the laws governing the use by minors. Anyone operating these vehicles should observe all laws and rules related to this use and operation.

We want to be good neighbors and to ensure the safety of our neighborhood children.
