Wyndsor Place Barricaded

Cortez Community Bank the current owners of Wyndsor Place have placed barricades across the Preston Hollow side of Sunset Woods Ct and the East Linden side of Hillary St. This action has effectively isolated Wyndsor Place which is deemed to be private property. Until these roads are turned over to the County they will remain private.

A Message from Kurt Naser PHHOA President

Below is today's St. Pete Times link concerning the Pasco mining operation hearing results involving County Line Rd. While we did not receive all the concessions we wanted, we did secure a few that will help mitigate the mining operation effects to County Line Rd and the neighborhood. They include a reduction in both hours and days of operation, expanded the
protection radius of our private irrigation wells, improved dust control measures and a few others.

We could not have achieved what we did achieve without all the effort and
support that our members provided. And for that, I thank you.

There are additional members such as Al Walker II & III, Mary Ann & Charlie,
Mr. Coen, Jim Demetrios, and others who were also involved for whom I lack
an email address. Nevertheless, my thanks go out to them as well.
