Poinciana Place Town Homes (PPTH) is part of the Poinciana Community Group (PCG)
situated in Lake Worth, Florida. PCG contains a total of 1,345 residential units within 13 associations.
Every unit owner has access to all the facilities, amenities, and activities at the clubhouse. These
include but are not limited to a community swimming pool, tennis courts, handball court, game
rooms, library, weekly movies, a public 18-hole golf course, and Mel’s Way Bistro, a
restaurant/nightclub that is open to the public. Some areas of the clubhouse require a key card for
access. Key cards may be obtained at the Activities Office situated on the ground floor of the
clubhouse to the right side after entry for a one-time, non-refundable cost of $5.00 each. You need
to bring identification proving that you are a Poinciana resident. PCG publishes a monthly newsletter
which is delivered to your mailbox and contains community information and notices. Some of this
information is also available on the Channel 63 online at www.poinciana.club.

PPTH is an age-restricted (55 and over) community and is comprised of 64 two- and three-bedroom
homes. The homes are all one-story units situated in 11 buildings. There are nine buildings
containing six units each and two buildings containing five units each. The property was constructed
in 1981 and 1982. Each unit has a one-car, built-in garage. The buildings are of concrete block
ground floor construction from the slab to about eight feet in height after which the remainder is
wood frame. PPT has its own heated swimming pool and bath house. There is a community pool
with bath house available to all residents. The open-air shower on the side of the bath house offers
both hot and cold water for the comfort of our residents. Our community bulletin board is situated
on the front wall of the bath house. Association public notices and other information are posted there
as well as on this website www.pptha.com.

PPTH is an HOA (Association), not a condominium. There is a five-member board of directors elected
to three-year, staggered terms. Presently, we have an energetic and dedicated Board of Directors
comprised entirely of professionals that work tirelessly to achieve the highest quality lifestyle at the
lowest possible, predictable cost while maximizing property values. The Board ordinarily meets
monthly on the second Tuesday of each month. Board meetings are closed to the public but open to
all members (owners of units; other occupants are not members) of the Association. Owners are
invited to speak for up to three minutes on matters being considered by the Board when recognized
by the chair. Owners are invited to submit topics for the meeting agenda to be considered by the
Board via the Association web site at www.pptha.com. PPTH’s Annual Meeting for the election of
directors to fill the office of any director whose term is expiring is held in December.

The Association is responsible for all landscape maintenance and the repair or replacement of the
finished exterior surfaces of our buildings excluding windows, front and rear entry doors, and garage
doors. Roofs are defined as the roof as originally constructed (that excludes any roof extensions
added to the front or rear of the units, typically flat roofs, and roof penetrations for skylights, solar
tubes, and solar panels) above and including the plywood sheathing which is situated over the roof
trusses. Skylights, solar tubes, and solar panels are not part of the original construction and are the
sole responsibility of the homeowners. Roof leaks around roof penetrations for skylights, solar
tubes, or solar panels are the responsibility of the homeowner. Owners must get approval from the
Board before anyone (including the owner) enters upon the roof for any reason. While the
Association is responsible for maintenance of the roofs, as defined, it is not responsible for any
damages that may occur below the plywood in the attic or the living space provided that the
Association has acted responsibly. Damages because of a failure to file a timely report to Property
Management of any roof leak or other condition that the Association is responsible to correct are the
responsibility of the owner. Accordingly, it behooves our owners to arrange for periodic inspections
of their homes while they are away and to provide a means for management to obtain access during
any periods of absence, so water leaks and other potential failures do not go unnoticed and result in
collateral damage.

The Association has an insurance policy that covers us for damages to our buildings due to typically
covered perils. This includes the walls (in and out) and the roof. The fixtures (kitchen and bathroom
cabinets, light fixtures, medicine cabinets, etc.) HVAC system, and water heater are excluded.
Contents (furniture, personal possessions, clothing, appliances, jewelry, TVs, radios, clocks, etc.)
and living expenses during reconstruction are also excluded. The current policy and the certificate
of insurance are available on our web site. It behooves owners to have their own homeowner’s
insurance policy on Form HO6 to cover the contents and other incidental costs that would be
incurred in the event of a loss plus any liability for damages to adjacent units resulting from a
problem in your unit that the Association is not responsible for.
The Association provides digital cable service through Comcast/Xfinity including HBO, Xfinity X1,
and internet. Telephone service is also available through Comcast for phone service over the
internet and through a variety of wired service providers.

The Association is charged with the responsibility of insuring that our community remains desirable,
safe, and attractive at a reasonable cost in addition to the responsibility for most exterior
maintenance. Accordingly, the unit owner must obtain prior written approval for all changes to the
exterior of the owner’s unit including landscaping. The owner must make application to the
Architectural Review Committee (ARC) in advance of making changes. Our landscape is not static.
It is a living, growing, ever-changing part of our community. Landscape items which were installed
with approval can grow to threaten our buildings or become a nuisance. As a result, the Association
reserves the right to remove any landscape item that is judged, in the sole discretion of the
Association, to be a potential hazard or nuisance. The Association is not obligated to replace any
items that it removes unless required by Palm Beach County regulations.

Storm shutters should only be deployed when a storm warning or watch has been issued and should
be opened or removed within seven days of the warning or watch being cancelled. Leaving storm
shutters closed suggests to criminals that the unit is vacant and an easy target for crime. It also
hinders visual access to the unit which could result in appeals for help from someone within going
unnoticed and detracts from the general appearance of the neighborhood.

Off-street parking within our community is severely limited. No work vehicles may be parked within
the community except for vehicles that are operated by service personnel performing service while
the vehicles are present. No work vehicles may ever be parked overnight within the community. A
work vehicle is any vehicle that contains visible tools or equipment or has signs advertising any
business or service. Cargo vans without full-size windows and seating behind the driver’s seat are
also designated as work vehicles. No recreational vehicles, or trailers may be parked in the
community. Under no circumstances may any vehicle be parked upon the roadway overnight and
vehicles may never be parked on the grass. Illegally parked vehicles may be towed after statutory
notice is provided. Owners cannot have more than one vehicle for each licensed driver residing
within their unit. Owners are encouraged to utilize their driveway and garage for parking their
vehicles whenever possible.

Several of our units are located along canals which tend to bring rodents to the community. The
Association is not responsible for any trapping or baiting of rodents to control the population. The
Association is responsible to exclude access to the interior of the dwellings provided that any voids
permitting access by rodents is timely reported to the Association. The Association is not
responsible for any extermination services should rodents gain access to the dwelling. It is the
responsibility of the owner to exclude access via any air conditioning lines or other building envelope
penetrations under control of the owner.

Garbage and recycling pickup are provided by Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority
(www.swa.org/ 561-697-2700). Owners may place their refuse out the evening before the pick-up
days which are Wednesdays (trash and recycling) and Saturdays (trash only). Owners are required
to use the garbage cans provided by the Solid Waste Authority rather than placing trash out in plastic
bags to help prevent wildlife from scattering the trash in the neighborhood.

Public water is provided by Palm Beach County Water Utility Utilities Department
(http://discover.pbcgov.org/waterutilities/ 561-740-4600) and electricity is provided by Florida Power
and Light (www.fpl.com/ 561-686-7750)

What makes us the most desirable community in Poinciana? We are the closest thing to single family homes with the care-free maintenance style of a condominium and our monthly maintenance
assessments are well below the average for HOAs in Palm Beach County. Where else do you have
your own front and rear yards, a garage with driveway, ample ground floor living space with no one
above or below you while being part of a vibrant, active-adult community with low monthly overhead
that includes almost all your exterior maintenance.
