Updates to Baytree ARC Rules for March 2025 Board Meeting

Our Baytree Architectural Review Committee (ARC) has been working diligently to update our current ARC Rules and to assure that all existing rules have been captured in this document and are consistent with state law.  The attached file Proposed ARC Rules is a restatement of Baytree’s approved ARC rules, plus several changes that require approval by the Board of Directors (changes are highlighted in yellow).  These changes will be discussed at the next ARC meeting on March 18 at 9:00am and presented to the Board for approval at the March 26 (10:00am) Board meeting.  Both meetings are open to all residents.  Following Board approval, the ARC rules will be incorporated into the 2025 Baytree Residents’ Handbook.

Also attached is the Notice for the March 26 Board Meeting, which includes the current agenda for the meeting.

REMINDER:  Do NOT Feed the Wildlife

Someone is continuing to put out dog food on the cart path. It is illegal to feed any wildlife here and could result in the animals being removed or euthanized due to their familiarity with people.  Please share this information with anyone you may see putting out dog food and tell them that putting out the food is illegal and may ultimately harm the wildlife.

Never Feed Wildlife

In some cases, feeding wildlife is illegal in Florida. Species with rules related to feeding include bears, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, pelicans, alligators, crocodiles, sandhill cranes, and wild monkeys. Feeding wildlife can reduce their fear of humans which may result in aggression and the need for the animal to be removed or killed in order to protect public safety.
