SUN CITY — The tranquility of those who reside on Lilly Lane in Neighborhood 36 has been disrupted by a growing number of individuals who are ignoring a no-fishing rule at the nearby area pond. This blatant disregard of the policy is causing concern among residents and management alike, raising questions about respect for community guidelines and the potential impacts on the environment and safety.
The no-fishing rule was established to preserve the pond’s delicate ecosystem and ensure the safety of residents. Despite multiple reminders from Sun City’s management company, First Service Residential, some individuals continue to cast lines into the pond, undermining the community’s efforts to protect its natural resources.
Despite a petition in years past, the board decided to continue to allow fishing at that lake for the time being.
It wasn’t until later that former First Service Residential Executive Director Deanna Loughran began sending emails to residents stating that fishing was only allowed at Wildflower Lake. However, since no signage was ever placed around the pond near Lilly Lane, many continued to ignore the new rule.
Currently, it does appear that management and the board are taking steps to enforce the no-fishing policy in unauthorized areas.
“Included in last month’s management report at the Board Meeting, it was noted that efforts to curtail unauthorized use of our facilities will be addressed through increased staffing and additional signage,” said Sun City Board President Bill Niemasz in an email statement to My Sun Day News.
As the debate over the no-fishing rule continues, the management and Board of Directors for Sun City remain committed to upholding the policy and ensuring the well-being of the community. In the meantime, residents are urged to respect the guidelines and participate in the discussions to help find a positive path forward.
