HOA Board asks for your cooperation and respect for these simple rules:
 
No Recreational Transport Vehicles in Retention Pond Areas - Violation of this rule will be treated as an act of vandalism on community-owned property.  If you spot anyone operating recreational transport vehicles in a retention pond area, please call Orange County Sheriff's Office and request a Sheriff visit to apprehend violator(s).  Be sure to notify the Property Manager with the OCSO report number as a follow up to the Sheriff's visit.
 
Driving in the Neighborhood - Protection of all residents is of primary importance.  Please follow lawful rules of the road and be courteous to others using our road system at all times when operating your vehicle on Sweetwater West roads.  Stop at all stop signs and obey the 25 mile per hour speed limit.  FYI - The HOA employs Orange County Sherriff's Office to enforce public safety on our roads.  If you want to avoid a ticket, obey Florida driving laws at all times while operating your vehicle in our neighborhood.  Drivers who antagonize others who use our roads will be reported to the Orange County Sherriff's Office whenever violations occur.
 
  
Vehicle Parking Rules - If you are visiting one of our residents, we welcome you.  Before arriving, please contact your resident host family about proper parking arrangements during your brief stay with us.  There is no on street parking allowed in Sweetwater West, due to public safety issues (emergency vehicles need proper room to get around our neighborhood during any resident's emergency).  Violators will be towed at vehicle owners expense.  Do not park your vehicle in such a manner to block access to public sidewalks (violation of Florida State law). 
 
 
 
 
Pets - Pets are welcome in our neighborhood.  It is Orange County law that all pets must be walked on a leash, all solid droppings must be picked up and pet noise must be controlled  (no excessive barking).
  
Lawn Watering Restrictions - When Daylight Savings Time is in effect during a calendar year, homes with odd-numbered addresses may water Wednesdays and Saturdays and even-numbered homes may water Thursdays and Sundays (any time during those days except between 10 AM and 4 PM). Water only if necessary. When Daylight Savings Time is no longer in effect during a calendar year, homes with odd-numbered addresses may water Saturdays and even-numbered homes may water Sundays (anytime during those days except between 10 AM and 4 PM). Water only if necessary.
   
Street Light Outage - Ever come home at night and notice a streetlight is flickering, dimmed, or out completely?  You should write down the pole number tag (located on the pole), write down the closest address to the pole and send this information to the Property Manager.  The Property Manager will call the power company and arrange to have the street light repaired. 
 
Home Improvements - Before starting any exterior home improvement, please examine carefully our community's HOA Governing Documents.  Noncompliance with ARB requirements could result in fines being imposed on homeowners who choose to violate these rules.
