New Dog Stations

The park and other common spaces in Devon-Aire Villas #1 is for the enjoyment of all the residents in the community. There are many community residents, including children and some residents from Devon-Aire Estates, which use the park on a daily basis.  Over the years, many have complained about dog owners walking their dogs in the park that don't pick up after their dog's droppings.  Not only has this been a public nuisance and unhealthy for those using the park, but it is also unlawful under Miami Dade County Ordinance Chapter 5 Section 20(c) and carries a $50 fine for any one caught doing so.  It is also not allowed under our Rules & Regulations.  We understand that it may not always be convenient for those who walk their dogs to pick up after them so over the last month we have installed three Dog Waste Stations. 

Two stations are on the West side in the park and one on the East side on Circle East.  The stations which were chosen are designed so that there is no or little offending odors emanating from them and include bag dispenser so owners don't even have to carry a bag with them.  Since their installation this last month, residents have been using the stations and the messes that were being left behind have begun to disappear.  For those owners doing their part, we want to thank you.  If you observe any resident which is not picking after their dog, please let us know so we can speak to them.

2014 Landscaping Project

The Landscaping project has come to a close for this year.  Much of the tree pruning which has been neglected for several years was completed in March on both the East & West sides of the property.  In April new trees where planted on the West which were lost over time due to the many storms we have had and never replaced.  The trees chosen for the park are those which have bright blooms and have a high tolerance for drought and sun.  Although the trees are young now, as they grow and fill in, they will add to the character of the park.  

A lot of work was also put into tree pruning on the East side in this years project with a lot of effort placed in the many neglect trees and palms on that side of the property. 

Next year we plan to focus even more of our attention to the East side of the property which has been neglected through the years.  We will be discussing some of those plans with our landscaper at this months Board meeting.  Our intention is to eventually create an atmosphere to rival that of the West side.  If you have an interest in what the future of the East side may hold, we ask that you attend this months Board meeting.
