Potential Problems When Buying Water Front Homes

Potential Problems When Buying Water Front Homes

Living on the water front in Orlando is peaceful and tranquil. No one can argue with that, but you must protect it. How? By thinking through these top five issues with water front property and by doing so preventing the disruption of your peace and tranquility.

  1. Community Waterfront versus Private Waterfront.

Many waterfront and water access properties are located in developments where the original developer subdivided a large tract and reserved the waterfront for the use of all of the houses in the neighborhood. Homes in the interior of the development may be listed as “water access” properties and have affirmative rights to community beaches, boat ramps and other facilities. In many of these developments, there is also a strip of land that lies along the water and surrounds the entire community and was intended to allow for members of the community to walk and have access to the entire waterfront. The ownership structure of these walks can vary widely, but if they are present, there are special concerns for the homes nearest the water. Those homes may have the right to build and maintain a pier — but the pier may actually be owned by the community and be available for all of the members to use. Or there may be no right to a pier at all. The possible variations are too many to list, but an owner purchasing in a community like this should be certain to understand exactly what the obligations and benefits are.

  1. Waterfront versus Waterview.

A true “waterfront” property is one that has waterfront rights associated with it. Such rights would include the right to apply to construct a pier or other waterfront improvement. Or the first right to apply for permits for waterfowl hunting, and the right to prevent others from impeding access to the water or the view of the water. In contrast, a “waterview” property is generally one that is close to the water, but has land owned by someone else between the land and the shoreline. A waterview may have a limited right to build a pier or no right at all and may not have any guarantee that another owner will not build a fence, structure or put in plantings that obstruct the waterview. Careful consideration should be paid to what might be placed between the waterview property and the water.

  1. Pier Locations, Boundary Lines and Permits.

Having or keeping a pier is a first thought and most important thought for many waterfront lots. It is not relaxing and fun to have a dispute with a neighbor about whether a pier is on his property, your property, on the line, should be shared, or whether a pier that you were counting on using is even legal. If you are thinking about a home where there is currently a pier or where you would like to put in a pier, its continued viability should be investigated. Find out about its zoning, its legality and if their could be any disputes with neighbors.

  1. The Obligation and Ability to Maintain the Waterfront.

There are always erosion concerns for properties on bluffs or with a lot of wave action. For all waterfront properties, there are significant legal restrictions on the owners’ ability to clear growth and trees, to fill eroded areas, and to construct shoreline protection. The cost and ability to obtain permits for waterfront repairs and maintenance should be examined.

  1. Choose the right professionals.

The reason people purchase waterfront is to improve quality of life, and doing so is usually successful. There will always be an unfortunate few that end up purchasing a large, unexpected and expensive dispute, and their quality of life is definitely not improved. Without question, the best means of avoiding unexpected difficulties is to communicate with professionals with experience and interest in waterfront properties.

Lakefront Home, Boat and Dock Care

Lakefront Home Boat and Dock Care for your Clermont or Lakefront homeLakefront Home, Boat and Dock Care

Much like your car, your boat needs routine maintenance as well. However, when caring for your boat on your lake front property in Orlando, you must take special care as any basic task like polishing, cleaning or changing the fluids can cause water quality problems if the products used are not handled as they should be. When caring for your boat, be sure to follow these tips:

  • Stay away from the lake, its tributaries and storm drains when maintaining your boat.
  • Use non-toxic products
  • Be sure you contain any excess waste products that result from your work.
  • Rinse boats more often with plain water so you don’t always need soaps and cleaners.
  • Avoid the need for washing with soap all the time by keeping the boat waxed and rinsed after every time you use it.
  • Choose non-toxic, phosphate-free, chlorine-free, biodegradable products.
  • Take your boat to a commercial car wash where the dirty water goes to the wastewater system.
  • Follow the instructions on the label. Twice as much cleaner does not work twice as well.
  • Buy only what is needed for a project. Give the leftovers to another boater.
  • If you must work near the water, use tarps and work on a small area.
  • Pressure washing near the lake is never a good idea as it is difficult to manage the wastewater.
  • Dispose of leftover household toxics properly.

It is also important to care for your dock that gives you access to fun on the lake. Depending on the design and construction materials, docks and floats can make for added problems for wildlife and water quality. For maintenance of docks and floats on your property, here are some things to know:

New Docks

While docks and floats don’t generally provide good habitat for fish and wildlife, they can act as barriers necessitating that waterfowl, beavers, and otters find refuge further out into the lake.

Larger docks can inhibit the growth of beneficial aquatic plants, by shading the littoral zone. If pilings are not spaced far enough apart, a dock can change the movement of water along the shoreline, causing erosion and deposition. This affects the growth of water plants.

If you are thinking about constructing a dock or float, or making major repairs to the one you already have, you need to obtain the necessary environmental review and permits for your area.

You may think that this seems a bit silly just to build a dock, but any work performed below the ordinary high water mark on the lakeshore has opportunity to cause water quality problems.

If constructed in conjunction with a naturally vegetated shoreline, a dock can provide boat moorage, allow access to the water and reduce human impacts to the environment of the shoreline. Moving heavy use elsewhere and away from the fragile shoreline to a dock can reduce negative influences and even damage to the riparian area. For simple boat moorage, a buoy is the preferred alternative as it causes the least long-term impact to the lake environment.

The materials used in the construction of docks can introduce a variety of contaminants into the lake so be sure you know what you’re building with and how it can affect the water.

Dock Maintenance

Paints, wood preservatives or other chemicals may end up in the lake during routine maintenance, so their use is not permitted over or near surface water. A dock with a natural, unfinished surface is the best option. If your dock or boathouse is already painted, you need to be very careful when maintaining it. It is your job to insure that tarps are used and that the paint scrapings, paint, or other prep materials do not fall into the lake.

Pressure washers are sometimes used for cleaning and prep work but this is not a good idea around lakes. The force of the water from a pressure washer makes it hard to control the amount of material being washed into the lake. A better idea is to scrub or wire brush the surface with tarps around and underneath the work area to contain the scrapings. Bleach, herbicides or pesticides should not be used over the water to control the unwanted living things that take up residence on or around your dock.

Alternatives to Toxic Cleaners

  • Soap: choose phosphate free and non-toxic soap but use very little
  • Scouring Powders: baking soda
  • Fiberglass: baking soda paste
  • Decks and Floors: one cup white vinegar in two gallons water
  • Windows: one cup vinegar in one cup warm water, rinse and squeegee
  • Aluminum: two tablespoons cream of tartar in one quart hot water
  • Copper: lemon juice and salt
  • Brass: Worcestershire sauce or paste made of equal parts salt, vinegar, and water; rinse
  • Chrome: apple cider vinegar to clean; baby oil to polish
  • Drain Opener: pour vinegar and baking soda in drain and follow with boiling water
  • Mildew: paste of equal parts of either lemon juice and salt or vinegar and salt
  • Wood: three parts olive oil and one part white vinegar
  • For Your Hands: baby oil or margarine

New Park in Clermont Florida

New Park in Clermont, Fl – Lake Hiawatha ParkNew Park in Clermont, Fl - Lake Hiawatha Park

As spring approaches, make sure you take advantage of Clermont’s new park! You will find the new park at Lake Hiawatha! Previously blanketed with citrus groves and shade trees, Lake Hiawatha Park now boasts two dog parks, a playground and a covered pavilion!

Lake Hiawatha Park just recently opened to the public on November 15th, 2014. It is a 220 acre preserve with two dog parks, a playground with a working old-fashioned water tower, hiking and biking trails, and a pavilion for picnics.

The first phase of this fabulous park located at 450 N. 12th St is home to the city’s FIRST dog parks, a playground of natural wood, a tree stump obstacle course, hiking trails and picnic pavilion. It’s the perfect place to bring your babies and fur babies alike!

New Park in Clermont, Fl - Lake Hiawatha ParkCertainly, the attention grabber of the park is the child sized, working, water tank on the playground. It was designed to be reminiscent of Old Florida so that it would fit in with the history of the property. Also, on the playground, you’ll see a maze made from a cattle chute that was part of the property.

Of the two dog parks, one is meant for dogs 25 pounds or larger and the other for smaller doggies. In each park, you’ll find water fountains for both dogs and people.

Currently, the second phase of Lake Hiawatha Park is under way on the other side of 12th St. This phase is predicted to include a fishing pier and a floating dock. That’s right…this park will be accessible to those arriving by foot, bike, car and even boat!

It’s definitely a park the community of Clermont can be most proud of! So, as you’re looking for a place to play or relax the day away, come out and give Lake Hiawatha Park a try!
