The following citizens are petitioning our elected representatives to help us find a solution to properly maintain the large pond in our neighborhood.

The pond is covered with algae and debris, which is unsightly and detrimental to our home values and the environment. See attached pictures for your reference.

We have discussed this problem with our Homeowners Association and they have told us that the county is responsible for the maintenance. They agreed to call the county. The county representative they spoke to claims there is nothing they can do. The Homeowners Association suggested we petition the county.

The following citizens are very motivated to find a lasting solution to our problem.

I have been reviewing the comments left on this petition and the shared frustration regarding the state of our pond is clear. These accounts provide a necessary record of the impact this neglect has had on our neighborhood. I am currently preparing a formal letter to the county administration to ensure they understand that our community expects a professional resolution.

The momentum behind this petition highlights how many of us prioritize the health of our local environment. It is clear that our neighbors are united in the expectation that the county must address the ongoing maintenance of our pond.

maybe the penny for Pinellas tax can assist. Makes me wonder where the taxes are used. they have a truck re-digging ditches 3 months out of the year at the high school. just take one of those 90 days to address it.

This pond has been unsightly for years. Algae, dead fish, trash and landscape debris have been seen consistently. The affect this has on our home values is a major concern as well. Please do something about this.

An eyesore pond lowers home values not only in Northfield, but all of Lansbrook by association. One would think the county would be all over this to remedy to maintain property tax levels.
