The Owners Decided

In public meetings hundreds of community members eval-

uated potential amenities and improvements and they de-

termined those options which made the most sense in

Tampa Palms. The focus was on community aesthetics,

meeting and park spaces, while elaborate developer-styled

amenities (cigar rooms etc.) were dismissed.

Working with the residents of Tampa Palms and funded

jointly by the TPOA and the Tampa Palms CDD, H-K de-

veloped a master plan to bring Tampa Palms into the 21st

century with amenities consistent with its position as a

premier community.

The master plan was divided into two segments:

Improvement to the community infrastructure - signs,

monuments & two parks (CDD responsibility):

Improvement to the community center and River

Park with modern meeting facilities (TPOA respon-

sibility)

Sustainability Against Vs External Pressure

External challenges from the Bruce B Downs widening

project will continue to occupy Tampa Palms for at least

the next two years but with the

completion of the Compton recre-

ation improvements, see related

article page 9, the master plan is

in place and working!

Where We Were Where We Are

In 2016 Tampa Palms com-

pletes the move which was

started in 2007 from a twenty-

five year old community, long

in the tooth, short on ameni-

ties, with good bones

(excellent location) but miss-

ing “sparkle”, to a 21st centu-

ry home for 3,407 residences

and 22 businesses.

Today Tampa Palms is a com-

munity which is a joy to live

in and a place of which the

owners can be very proud.

To sustain and adapt Tampa Palms to meet the challenges

of competing communities, in 2007 the TPOA and Tampa

Palms CDD jointly engaged Hardeman-Kempton (H-K) to

work with the Tampa Palms members to develop a re-

newed vision for Tampa Palms one that would meet the

realities of the competitive housing environment and the

needs and wants of the Tampa Palms members.

To form a basis for evaluating the competitive advantages

and the disadvantages of Tampa Palms versus other simi-

lar upscale developments, H-K compiled an inventory of

amenities in com-

parable communi-

ties in varied loca-

tions:

- In the area

- In the region

- In Florida

- In the US

News From the TPOANews From the TPOANews From the TPOA

Do You Know

What’s Happening In Tampa Palms?

Tampa Palms owners are busy and sometimes it is not

possible to attend TPOA or CDD meetings. The TPOA

with its newsletter tries to bridge that information gap.

There are a number of ways to obtain the newsletter:

The newsletter is mailed to every owner in Tampa

Palms by US Mail

If requested, the newsletter will be sent to you via

email in PDF format.

The newsletter is made available online at the Tampa

Palms web site, http://www.tpoa.net

If you would like to have the TPOA newsletter emailed

to you every month, please send your email address to

Bonnie French at TPOAMail@aol.com to be included.

What About Solicitors?

Are They “Allowed” In Tampa Palms?

The TPOA and Tampa Police receive numerous com-

plaints from Tampa Palms residents regarding door to

door solicitation. The main concern is that the solici-

tors may have more on their mind than selling, such as

staking out possible targets for theft and worse.

The challenge for Tampa Palms is that all of the roads

in the non-gated villages are public rights-of-way and it

is not possible to “ban” solicitors from public areas

such as sidewalks.

Tampa Palms owners who do not want

solicitors at their doors may post no solicit-

ing signs in their front yards. (Get RMC

approval.)

The police will enforce these signs on

owners’ private property.

Tampa Palms has a substantial investment in palms. A

weevil infestation could virtually wipe out the majority of

the palms with considerable detrimental effect on the

community:

Palm trees are an inherent part

of both the name and the repu-

tation of Tampa Palms

City law requires that diseased

trees which have to be re-

moved be replaced: this would

be very expensive.

Curative and preventative treat-

ments with systemic insecticides have been shown to

save 80% of non-infected trees.

Systemic insecticides trunk injected have numerous ad-

vantages over other forms of treatment (such as crown

drenches or soil drenches) especially for Tampa Palms:

Can be used when spraying is not desirable, e.g.

along paths or near homes.

Very low use rates / low environmental risk.

Very low vertebrate exposure / toxicity.

Fast uptake by the tree / better distribution.

The treatment process is as follows:

1. Trees are inspected for signs of

infestation. If weevils are found,

the tree is marked for removal.

2. A port is inserted into the trunk

of healthy trees.

3. A systemic insecticide is injected

via the port, into the tree.

Studies have shown the best results are

obtained by treatment every two years.

Since the weevils were discovered in

December, the CDD has treated more

than 600 palms.

The cost of treatment is relatively small,

less than $100 per tree, far less than the cost to permit,

remove and then replace any palm tree.

Residents with palms are urged to contact a tree-care pro-

fessional to protect their palms.

Serious Pests

Threaten Palms

Just as the fusarium decline appears to have run its course,

a new and far more deadly pest attacked the Tampa Palms

palm trees.

This time the problem is an insect, the palmetto weevil.

The palmetto weevil is

native to Florida and until

recently was the only spe-

cies of palm weevil in the

continental United States.

Once, the palmetto weevil

was considered a minor

pest, attacking only se-

verely wounded and dying

trees. However, it is now

known to be a pest of stressed

nursery and transplanted

palms, as well as, apparently

healthy Canary Island date,

Bismarck, Washingtonian and

Sabal palms in the landscape.

The symptoms of a weevil

infestation vary, but com-

monly involve a rapid,

general, and irreversible

decline beginning with the

younger leaves.

As the infestation progress-

es, the larval feeding dam-

age and associated rot is so

severe that the integrity of the crown is compromised and

the top of the palm falls over. This condition is termed

"popped neck."

Volatile odors emanating

from stressed, (prior poor

pruning or lightning), old or

dying palms are attractive to

the palmetto weevil adults.

Once the palmetto weevil

damage becomes visible,

there is no hope of recovery

even with a subsequent treatment of a strong insecticide

drenched into the crown. The damage has been done.

Tampa Fire Rescue warns that at this time of year with

chilly temperatures there is a greater chance of “running

into” a poisonous snake sunning on paths or along pond

banks. If bitten, SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY

For more information and to

view pictures of the most com-

mon local snakes go to http://

www.tpoa.net/Snakes.pdf

The ponds are designed to receive storm water from the

streets for treatment. Anything thrown in the streets will

ultimately make its way to the ponds.

It is for that reason that it is vital not to throw trash, oils,

fertilizers or any foreign substance into the streets or into

the storm drains….. it all goes to the ponds.

Some people, including some tradesmen working in

Tampa Palms, may not be aware of how the stormwater

system works. Some think that the storm drains connect

to the sewage treatment centers – they do not.

Please take a minute to make certain workers, such as

landscapers working on your property do not place yard

waste or chemicals, into the drains.

If you see any trash in a pond, call the CDD (977-3393)

and they will have it removed.

Work on Power Corridor

Currently there is substantial activity in the power corridor

related to the new power line being constructed by TECO.

This project was introduced to the public with open house

style meetings held last fall (one at Compton Park).

TECO will be removing the current H-Frame transmission

poles and replacing them with tubular steel poles, often

referred to as mono-poles.

The process is this:

1. TECO cleared corridor areas

where work is taking place

(some tree trimming was nec-

essary and the gopher tortoise

holes were secured).

2. Contractors are dropping

off the new mono-poles rela-

tively close to where the poles

will be placed.

3. Next the 230 kV connectors

will be placed on the mono-

poles, tested and then put into

service. (One is new, one is a

replacement for the connector

presently on the H-poles).

4. Finally TECO will deacti-

vate and remove the old 230

kV connector and the H-poles.

Some of the work will require

crossing streets and sidewalks

Compton Dr

Halsey Rd

Tampa Palms Blvd

Fairchild Drive

Wareham Dr.

Yardley Way

When that happens, flagmen and warning signs will be de-

ployed to protect pedestrians and drivers.

Thank You Volunteers

MS. Lippek sends very special thank you to all of the TPE

school volunteers. “Our volunteers play such an important

role in the success of our children at school. Many parents

participate in our Volunteers in Learning Program (VIL).

Your efforts in helping children on a weekly basis make a

huge difference.”

Character Education

TPE character trait of the month is cour-

age. Courage is doing the right thing

even if it is difficult. Courage is facing

our fears with confidence- be brave! At

school we will be talking about ways

students show courage such as:

1. Do the right thing, even if others are not. Follow the

Good Choice Pledge.

2. Be willing to try new things, even if it might be hard

at first.

3. Tell the truth, admit mistakes and learn from your

mistakes.

4. Do not give in the negative peer pressure.

Caution For The Safety Of All Children

Ms. S. Lippek, TPE Principal, reminds everyone that

over 400 cars drop off children

each morning at Tampa Palms.

She asks parents to please try

to schedule the drop-off as

close to 7:30 AM as possible

and reminds everyone that it is

vital to remember TPE’s safety procedures for drop-off.

Parents should pull their car to the front of the pick

up line.

Parents should come to a complete stop while their

children exit the car.

Parents should make certain that their children have

completely exited the car prior to driving off.

New Traffic Restrictions

For the safety of all, the police have

restricted left turns as well as U-turns

during school traffic hours at the

Tampa Palms/Halsey Rd.

The sign was installed during the De-

cember vacation. Please be careful;

the police are issuing citations.

Conference Night

Our Spring Conference Night is Thursday,

February 4th from 3:30 to 8:30pm. Please

feel free to schedule a conference with

your child’s teacher. Parent/Teacher com-

munication is a critical aspect of your child’s success in

school.

Whether your child is doing well in school or struggling,

a conference is an important way to touch base with his/

her teacher. Here’s how to make the most of your meet-

ing:

1. Write down questions for the teacher ahead of

time.

2. Write down information to share with your child

such Istation and iReady Math - great online sup-

port tools that students can work on independently.

3. Watch the time; remember teachers often have

back to back conferences

Don’t Lose Your Palms

Some people mistakenly believe that reducing the number

of fronds will better prepare palms against strong winds.

According to Richard Bamlet, Florida Forest Service, the

“over-pruning of palms is a puzzling trend with no sound

basis in horticulture”.

The so-called “hurricane or Mohawk cut” is an un-natural

and unattractive practice that leads to palm death.

1. Palms depend on fronds for pro-

duction of nutrients. Repeated

poor pruning techniques leads to

the misshapen trees as seen to

the right. Future proper pruning

will help these trees but they

will never recover.

2. Pests such as the palmetto weevil

are attracted to over pruned palms,

leading to certain palm death. (see

article on page 4.)

3. Far from protecting palms in high

winds, over-pruning has been

demonstrated to result in palm

death. Doug Caldwell (U of F

IFAS) documented this as seen to

the right. First severely pruned

palms pictured before hurricane

Wilma, then the same palms after

the hurricane (all tops broken and

trees dying) and finally unpruned

palms a bock away that were un-

damaged.

In some counties in Florida, the so-

called hurricane cut for palms is actual-

ly a code violation. Both the University of Fla (IFAS) and

the National Arborist Association

(NAA) suggest that owners make certain that anyone

pruning their trees does so according to ANSI 300 Part 1

standards. The NAA has a useful web page

that debunks myths about palm pruning and

displays the proper level of pruning. Go

online to http://tcia.org/PDFs/Press%

Only 18+ Months Left

Although the BB Downs widening project is certainly an

annoyance, it is without a doubt proceeding more

smoothly, and more quickly than the portions north of

Tampa Palms.

In the Tampa Palms area the teams are completing the

work associated with utility relocations, stormwater man-

agement and the curbs and gravity walls on the west side.

As soon as that work is complete, the lanes will be paved

and the traffic will be shifted from the center to the out-

side lanes, most likely in the April-May timeframe.

Work continues on the entry

pond. Even after pond com-

pletion the area will not be

available for improvements as

it will remain an active con-

struction site until project end.

The project’s greatest impact will be realized in late April

when the exit side of east-side entry will be demolished

to create new lane(s). There are plans for improvements

(tentatively shown below) but those plans can’t be imple-

mented until work is complete.

The area will not be very attractive for 7-10 months.

Proper Pruning Protects Palm Trees

Bruce B Downs

Construction Update

Pickleball Comes To Town

Pickleball Courts (2); will use the

space of the old basketball courts,

both adding a new and space-

compatible amenity.

Pickleball is a racquet sport that is

a bit like badminton, and tennis, providing opportuni-

ties for all ages and capabilities to enjoy the courts.

A new playground will occupy the old playground

area but will be secured with safety surface and new

events, focusing on climbing and twirling. It will be

specially designed to be slightly different from both

Hampton and Amberly, to provide more choices.

The initial steps of permitting and stormwater allowances

are underway. Individual project opening dates should be

available in the next month.

Compton Recreation

Takes Center Stage

The Final Touches

The final steps of the TPOA Master Plan is the revitaliza-

tion of recreation opportunities at Compton Park.

Some of these projects represent new amenities, some are

the programmed upgrades required for continual improve-

ment.

Resurface Tennis Courts; The

tennis courts will be resur-

faced in the coming months;

new “cabanas” and trash con-

tainers will be provided for

more comfortable play.

Basketball Court Improvements; The basketball courts

will not only be resurfaced but also relocated to a site

further away from both the playground and the tennis

courts; a location more compatible with active play.

Who Do I Call??

Who takes care of the streetlights?

TECO provides streetlights under an agreement with the

City of Tampa along the public roads in Tampa Palms.

(Gated communities with private roads may have TECO

lights or may provide their own lights.)

If you notice a streetlight in need of repair, if you have the

address / location or the number on the pole, you can

Call TECO at 223-0800

Report online using https://secure.tampaelectric.com/

tampaelectricsecure/forms/residential/streetlightout/

Call the CDD at 977-3933. who will report it to TECO

Who is responsible to sidewalks in Tampa Palms?

The quick answer is the owner of the sidewalks which is:

The City of Tampa along the public streets, both the

boulevards and inside the villages with public streets.

The TPOA inside Compton and River Parks

The CDD inside Amberly and Hampton Parks

The associations for gated villages with private roads.

For a City sidewalk in need of repair, you can go online to

http://apps.tampagov.net/appl_customer_service_center/

form.asp?strServiceID=382 (Public sidewalks only.)

Who is responsible for trees along the streets in Tampa

Palms? What happens if one dies?

If the trees are along or in medians on public roads, the

trees belong to the City of Tampa.

For trees along the boulevards the CDD, removes dead trees

(after getting a permit from the City to do so). The CDD

also:

Raises limbs over sidewalks

Trims trees over the boulevards on a rotating schedule

Who is responsible for the landscape of the cul de sac’s

in Tampa Palms? What if a tree dies?

The cul de sacs in the non-gated villages are part of the pub-

lic roads and belong to the City of Tampa.

The City does not maintain landscape in cul de sacs so the

CDD takes care of it. If a tree dies, as with along the streets,

the CDD will remove the tree but only after receiving per-

mission from the City.

site and select “who to call” or follow the link below.
