Immediate Cease and Desist: Feeding of Waterfowl – Direct Violation of CCRs

MEMORANDUM

To: All Residents of The Bluffs on the Waterway HOA

From: Board of Directors

Date: June 15, 2026

Subject: Immediate Cease and Desist: Feeding of Waterfowl – Direct Violation of CCRs

Dear Neighbors,

Please cease feeding immediately.

The Board has received multiple complaints and has documented repeated instances of residents feeding ducks, swans, and other waterfowl along Royal Bluff Drive, Bluff View, and Turtle Cove. Feeding waterfowl is already prohibited in our Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs). Continuing to feed these birds is a direct violation of the rules.

While the intention may be well-meaning, these actions are directly contributing to a growing nuisance and potential health/sanitation issues for the entire community, including:

Excessive droppings that damage lawns, landscaping, walkways, and common areas.

Increased health risks from accumulated waste.

Overcrowding, dependency on human food, and disruption of natural behaviors.

Escalation of an evolving goose problem that threatens to become a major issue if not stopped now.

Effective immediately, feeding of ducks, swans, geese, or any waterfowl on HOA property or in ways that attract them to residential areas must stop. This is a firm directive and a direct enforcement of our governing documents.

Continued violations by identified residents will result in enforcement actions, including warnings, fines, and other remedies available under our CCRs.

We appreciate your immediate cooperation in protecting the health, cleanliness, and enjoyment of The Bluffs for all residents. Please enjoy our wildlife through responsible observation only.

If you witness violations, report them directly to the Board.

Thank you for your prompt attention.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors

The Bluffs on the Waterway HOA
