- All tree removals require ARC approval…living or dead. The City of Altamonte Springs requires a permit or written verification from certified arborist to remove a dead tree. If you take down a tree and cannot provide documentation, you will be subject to fines and replacement(s).
- Fences – As of Oct 20, 2022, all new fences must be 6ft board on board natural wood or 6ft natural wood-look(simulated) PVC. Wood fences must have posts and supports facing the owner’s lot. NO EXCEPTIONS! ARC approval and a city permit are required when you are installing a new fence or making repairs that include replacing more than 2 panels or 3 posts.
- NO STREET PARKING – Residents must park vehicles in garages and driveways. Emergency vehicles, the Bear Lake Elementary bus and garbage trucks must be able to move unrestricted throughout the neighborhood. Forest Edge streets were not designed to accommodate street parking. Vehicles parked on grass, blocking fire hydrants/mailboxes or impeding traffic are at risk for immediate towing as are vehicles which have previously received parking violations or windshield notices.
Summaries and clarifications of the Forest Edge Covenants and Restrictions and City of Altamonte Springs Ordinances along with rules approved by the FEBOD pertaining to the safety and use of common areas. The board of directors may review and update common area rules as needed. These rules are available through this website and your Sentry Management CommunityPro portal, or by contacting the board or property manager.
The Forest Edge color palette uses Sherwin Williams paints. Color chips, peel and stick samples and sample paint can be ordered at sherwinwilliams.com.
Regardless of species or tree health, all tree removals must be approved by the ARC. Florida statutes do not absolve HOA members of violating tree removal covenants or limit the ARC’s authority to require tree replacements. The City of Altamonte Springs also requires a permit for tree removals. In the case of diseased or dangerous trees, city permits are not required but you must have ARC approval and a certified arborist’s documentation. Not all tree trimmers are certified arborists so if you are not using an arborist then simply submit a permit to the city. It’s free and only takes a day or two for the city arborist to visit your lot. Do not fall prey to predatory tree trimmers, it could cost you fines and tree replacement costs.
The city requires an approved ARC form before an arbor permit is approved. Per city ordinance and Forest Edge Covenants, each lot must have a minimum of 2 large canopy tree species. Even during a permit moratorium due to storm damage, an ARC form is still required to remove a tree.
Sentry Management is the property manager for Forest Edge.
