Christmas Lights in Tamarac

Jeannette Neerpat — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:15:32 +0000

If you live in Tamarac Florida and like to look at Christmas lights, then do I have a house for you. There is a home located behind the Publix off of Commercial and University. Down the street from the Tamarac Post Office.
This house has been decorating for over 11 years, and I believe I have gone for all those 11 years. Every year, they add a few pieces to their decor, and my children just love going to them every year and picking out what is new. I believe they got everyone right.

Take a look at the video and see for yourself, even better yet, if you live in Broward County, go see for yourself. You can fill out the guest book, this home has been seen on CBS and NBC.

Wish you a very Happy Holiday.

Emergency Numbers to use during a Hurricane!

Jeannette Neerpat — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 23:25:23 +0000

You know how it is during a Hurricane! Its gets crazy, especially when the power goes out. Anyone who went through Hurricane Andrew back in 92 or Hurricane Wilma back in 2005, knows that it can be real crazy.

When you need those numbers, you can’t find that paper with them listed! Oh how I hate when that happens! When you need it most! So here is a list of the numbers you will need…

Broward County

Emergency Management 954-831-3900
Hurricane Hotline 954-831-4000
American Red Cross 954-797-3800
Special Needs 954-357-6385
Animal Control 954-359-1313
FPL 1-800-468-8243
United Way 954-462-4850

I hope this helps you in times of needs. Make sure you have a plan laid out, have all your supplies, enough for the whole family and for at least 3 days…..

The Magic of the Treehouse

Jeannette Neerpat — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:28:10 +0000

I never had a treehouse nor do my children, wish they did. You see my daughter has been reading a chapter book series called The Magic Treehouse. She has fallen in love with reading it.

My husband and I built her a puppet board and we used the theme from the book. It’s about a brother and sister who finds this treehouse and when they climb up they find 100′s of books. As they start to read they find themselves from the magic of the treehouse within the book ( the power of imagination).

I managed to find a boy and girl puppet, and she has been acting put the different books. So her father suggested she take it to school since her class is also now reading them. She asked and her teacher said what a great idea. Well it has turned out the school loved it. She performed it for her class, another class heard about it and asked that she do it for their class. She does, and now the main teacher for the libary also asked for her to perform it.

She bought the board home this past weekend and we started adding stuff to the board to the theme. Here is a picture of the board, we are still working on it.

Woodmont home owners wins!

Wow! That’s all I can say, is Wow! I am doing my happy dance! Man these last few weeks have been nothing but meetings and writing.

Have been so upset with the thought of the possiblity of losing the beautiful backyard view of the Woodmont Golf course. I am sure you are aware that there was an application to change the land use from recreational to residential/commercial use.

Lennar homes has been trying real hard to purchase this particular land. They were not expecting the home owners to come out in full force. Petitions, standing outside of City Hall with special shirts that said No Land Use Change. Guess the City Commissoners and the builders knew they lost this round, as the notice says.

I still need to continue this fight, why? There is a possiblity that they will try to come and purchase it again. We fought the sell in 2007, now in 2010 and maybe in 2013. Who knows, but we will fight again then.

So Woodmont home owners, pat yourself on the back for now and take a rest, we won!

Lennar Homes looking to take away another Golf Course!

Jeannette Neerpat — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 11:40:47 +0000

If you didn’t know that Lennar is looking to build in Woodmont. I’m here to tell you that they are.

Let me first tell you, I live in Woodmont and more precisely I live on the green. By that I mean I live right in front of on of the holes on the 2nd of the two course they have. My back yard is great, LOVE it and the main reason I bought this particular home.

Apparently the golf course hasn’t been doing so well, they are been losing there clients, I think its due to the bad management they have, but that is my personal opinion. So here we are with a predicament. Since he is doing so bad he wants to sell toLennar Homes. Lennar wants only one course of the Woodmont Country Club, but on this course they are looking to build 255 homes, making about 5 communities. I am directly affected by this. That means taking away that green behind and putting homes there.

Now that makes me very angry.Lennar will be build on Colony West Country clublocated off of Commercial and Pine Island. Then there is Sabal Palmscountry club that closed down several years ago off of Commercial and Rock Island. You would think they could build there since its abanoded. But no they want to build on an Active Golf course.

On top of all that, with the inventory still out there, with all the foreclosure that is predicted to happen why in the world would a developer want to start building more homes with the possiblity of not being able to sell them.

They are looking to build homes with Square footage of 2500 to 3500 sq ft. with a price range of $250,000 to $500,000. Are they really that serious? We are trying to sell what we got and they just want to dump so much more on top of it!!!

Now what has also been said is that, if this land does not sell to Lennarthat the ownersof the golf course is going to let it run down causing no other then to sell. But then who do they sell to and when will that happen?

I don’t want homes behind me, but at the same time I don’t want the golf course to look like crap. So what to do, what to do?

The City of Tamarac will be holding a public hearing in regards to the land change. So I will be attending that meeting. Will you be there? April 14 and 6pm
