Basic Guidelines & Rules

Venetian Isles is governed by a Board of Directors, elected from among the residents every year. When you closed on your home, you signed an agreement to pay dues to the neighborhood association, which in turn works to protect our common interests. Your Board of Directors hopes that by working closely with you, we can help everyone achieve the goals and objectives of our community. We also look forward to seeing each and every one of you at a future board meeting.Association fees are due on the 1st of each month. Expenses covered by this fee include:

• Landscape services including lawn maintenance, edging, basic fertilization, and trimming of trees, shrubs, and hedges.
• Manned guard gate seven days a week with controlled access (see Gate Access Procedures). 
• Maintenance of the common areas, such as the area around the gate. 
• Monitoring of your home security system
• Controlled access entry gate Use of the tennis courts at Eagle Trace, when not otherwise booked. To check on court availability, call the Pro Shop at (954) 341-1020.
• Access to the park adjacent to our community. The automated gate to the park requires a security key fob. Venetian Isles residents may obtain two key fobs for $5 each with proof of residence. This must be obtained from the property management firm employed by the Lake Coral Springs Association, Inc. Integrity Property Management, 5665 Coral Ridge Drive, Coral Springs, FL 33076 (954) 346-0677

Life in Venetian Isles is governed by several sets of rules, including city ordinances, neighborhood covenants, and board rulings. The rules are meant to protect the quality of life for all of us, as well as the resale value of our homes.

To understand the legally binding rules of the community, please consult your Venetian Isles Document Book. You should have received a copy of this at the time of closing on your home, and part of the closing process is an agreement to abide by these community standards. If you do not have a copy, please contact our property management firm. 

As a convenience to residents, we have also created an online version of the Community Documents that includes amendments that may not be in older editions of the book.The guidelines below are not a substitute for our formal rules and regulations, but these are some of the highlights you should be aware of:

• Before making any material change to the exterior of your house or to the surrounding landscaping, you must receive an architectural approval from a committee of the board (see below for more details). Download the application.
• There is a standard paint palette for painting of homes within Venetian Isles. See the Sherwin-Williams color codes as a guideline. Residents must obtain specific approval for the paint colors to be used on their home before repainting.
• You may also need a separate approval from the City of Coral Springs. For example, the city must approve any repainting of the exterior of your home. For more details, see the City of Coral Springs website. City approvals are required in addition to, not instead of, approval of the association’s Architectural Control Committee.
• No signs. This includes political posters, commercial notices, and “for rent” or “for sale” signs. One exception: a small sign from your security monitoring firm, discreetly located close to your home.
• No outdoor clothes drying area is allowed.
• No pickup trucks or commercial vehicles of any kind are permitted to be parked within Venetian Isles for a period of more than four hours. No buses, campers, mobile homes, or disabled vehicles are permitted.
• No boats or boat trailers may be kept at your home, unless they can be stored in an area where they are not visible from the road. (Lakeside homeowners have generally been allowed to keep boats at the water’s edge, and some homeowners may be able to store small boats on a back porch.)
• Please observe the 15 MPH speed limit and encourage visitors to do the same.
• Anyone walking a pet be considerate of others and remove any animal waste. Animals must be leashed and in general prevented from becoming a nuisance to your neighbors.

The management company will conduct regular inspections and notify homeowners of violations of the community standards. Homeowners will be given a reasonable opportunity to comply, but if they do not they can be fined $100 a day up to a maximum of $1,000.

Before fines are charged, homeowners have a right to request a hearing. The hearing panel, which consists of 3 residents (who may not be board members), will determine whether the fine is justified.
