NEW REZONING APPLICATION FILED FOR 7-ELEVEN (Updated)
 
Interests representing a commercial retail development have filed a new rezoning application to build a 7-Eleven for properties at 14702 Bellamy Road and 5911 Ehrlich Road.
 
The new application, RZ-PD 26-0974, was filed in May to replace the current zoning (ASC-1) with a Planned Development rezoning. This would condense a two-step standard rezoning into a one-step Planned Development rezoning to streamline project review. The first phase of the original two-step standard rezoning application was withdrawn in April.
 
The new Planned Development rezoning proposal has been scheduled for the meeting agenda of the Zoning Hearing Master on August 24, 2026 at 6 p.m.  The county says that date could be subject to change if the application is deemed out of order during the review process, or if the applicant requests a continuance.
     
ZHM hearings are in the 2nd floor meeting room of the County Commissioners in the Frederick B. Karl County Center, 601 E. Kennedy in downtown Tampa. Hearings are open to the public.
 
Homeowners who wish to contact county officials about this proposed rezoning application can email comments and questions to hearings@hcfl.gov by the cutoff deadline (8/20/26 at 5 p.m.). Remarks, relevant evidence, etc., will become part of the Zoning Hearing Master’s Final Report. 
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Planned Development rezoning application number, RZ-PD 26-0974, must be included as a reference point in ALL emails and correspondence on this rezoning application.
 
If you would like to submit further comments or materials after the cutoff deadline, you must submit them in person or by proxy at the hearing. Materials cannot be submitted at the hearing through virtual participation.
   
If you wish to speak at the hearing, either in person or by virtual participation, please register using the Public Comment Signup Form.
   
You can register starting one week before the hearing and up to 30 minutes prior to the start of the hearing.
   
If you wish to watch the hearing without participating, you can do so here. 
   
 
Ken Hagan represents the Cumberland Manors homeowners as the District 2 County Commissioner. 
 
Our district is also represented by three countywide commissioners:

WARNING! Annual HOA dues could rise for all LOT OWNERS

WARNING!
 
Annual HOA dues could rise for all LOT OWNERS if we cannot form a Fining Committee to control legal fees.

Cumberland Manors needs volunteers to meet just one time every three months.

A Fining Committee, governed by changes in state law, could mean savings of THOUSANDS of DOLLARS in legal fees EVERY YEAR.

Interested? Contact Dawn, HOA property manager: darchambault@greenacre.com

Right now, to enforce our covenants, we mail a couple of warning letters. If that fails, we begin to pay the HOA’s attorney to take legal action to correct violations.

Instead, if we have a fining committee, the HOA Board of Directors could vote – if the two violations letters are rebuffed - to refer violations to the Fining Committee. This would be a cost-saving alternative to paying attorney’s fees to enforce covenants.

The Fining Committee can issue fines of up to $100 a day up to $1,000 for continuing fines of EACH violation. Property owners who dispute violations could speak at the quarterly Fining Committee meetings. They also would be notified of an upcoming Fining Committee meeting and fix the violation prior to the meeting to avoid a fine.

It would be a Win-Win for everyone; the HOA can enforce covenants without paying attorney’s fees and property owners – including owners of rental properties – would be more likely to fix violations to avoid fines.

Without a Fining Committee, the strain of our annual legal expenses could force the Cumberland Manors HOA to increase annual dues beyond the normal rise in operating expenses.

We need to maintain our community’s standards to preserve our neighborhood’s quality of life AND our property values. A Fining Committee could be vital in protecting our quality of life.

Thank you.
Mike Kersmarki
President, Cumberland Manors HOA

P.S. We also recently had a resignation from the HOA board. We also could use a fifth person to join the HOA Board of directors. The board also meets quarterly. Contact Dawn if interested.
 
CUMBERLAND MANORS PARK REOPENS

Our neighborhood park reopened after the county's Environmental Services Department inspected it on Friday (12/06/24).
   
The county said nothing suggested any lingering environmental problems associated with recent flooding at the park and overflow from a county wastewater pump station due to Hurricane Milton. 
   
Several days earlier, our HOA hired an outside vendor to clean the playground equipment and the metal benches and tables in the park. 
   
The Cumberland Manors HOA appreciates efforts by our management staff at Greenacre Properties as well as efforts made on our behalf by the office of County Commissioner Ken Hagan.

Don't Enter the Water With Fresh Cuts or Scrapes.
 
Data showed that two new bacteria-related deaths occurred in Pinellas County. Cases have increased in Hillsborough, Leon and Pinellas counties, Patch . com reported on Oct. 28, 2024.
 
Vibrio vulnificus is a gateway to necrotizing fasciitis, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said is a "severe infection in which the flesh around an open wound dies."
 
"Many people with Vibrio vulnificus infection can get seriously ill and need intensive care or limb amputation. About 1 in 5 people with this infection die, sometimes within a day or two of becoming ill," the CDC added.
 
State health officials warned people not to enter the water with fresh cuts or scrapes.
 
In 2023, the bacteria caused 46 cases and 11 people to die, data showed. Last week, Florida health officials reported 74 confirmed cases and 13 related deaths, according to Patch . com.

Update from Hillsborough County on storm debris removal
Posted on October 21, 2024 7:00 AM by Admin
Categories: Committees
The following is a reprint of an email from Hillsborough County for customers of Hillsborough County Solid Waste:
 
This is an update from Hillsborough County on storm debris removal and the progress county debris haulers are making in the community.
 
Over 150 specialized trucks are on the road seven days a week and have the capacity to collect 60,000 cubic yards of debris daily. The first pass of collection efforts in unincorporated Hillsborough County is estimated to be completed by Nov. 17, 2024. 
To help you view the status of debris collection in your neighborhood, we recently launched a debris tracking map.  
In addition to storm debris collection curbside, the county has extended hours for several facilities, opened two for 24/7 service, and continues to open temporary debris sites throughout the community for self-hauling of materials and tree debris.  
 
Below, please find the collection sites that are for debris drop-off around the County, with additional details available at HCFL.gov/MiltonCleanup: 
 
 
The county also has answers to frequently asked questions on Hurricane Milton storm debris. 
 
For regular curbside trash and yard waste collection, residents should continue to follow the guidelines and their normal schedule. Please note, you may experience a delay in regular pickup due to the increased volume. 
 
For any questions or missed pickups, please call the Solid Waste call center at (813) 272-5682 or report online at HCFL.gov/AtYourService.
   
Thank you for your patience as we work to clean up Hillsborough together. 
 
Sincerely, 
Hillsborough County Solid Waste 
VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT FOR FINING COMMITTEE
Posted on May 31, 2024 5:19 PM by Admin
Categories: Committees
Cumberland Manors is seeking at least three volunteers from among property owners to serve on a Fining Committee. 
 
Initially, the Fining Committee would meet every couple of months or so. It's designed to enhance our HOA's ability to enforce violations to preserve property values, our quality of life and resident safety. It's hoped that Fining Committee meetings will be less frequent once established.
 
Please click on the link here to read the fining committee protocols, which conform to changes in state law. 
 
If interested, please contact our HOA's management team at Greenacre Properties by emailing your name and contact information - including your home's address, your email address and your best contact phone number - to darchambault@greenacre.com.
 
The Cumberland Manors Board of Directors plans to discuss the formation of the violations committee at our next scheduled meeting on WEDNESDAY, 6:30 P.M., JUNE 5, 2024, at Greenacre Properties, 4131 Gunn Highway, Tampa.
