Brand New Central Park at Del Webb Ponte Vedra Garnering Rave Reviews
Ponte Vedra, Fla. --- The brand new Central Park at Del Webb Ponte Vedra--- its grand opening is scheduled for Oct. 22 ---is already sprouting fans and rave reviews from residents who have already formed a garden club.
Sean Strickler, vice president of sales for Del Webb in the Jacksonville region, said Central Park is a marvel of horticultural planning and community design.
“We really put our hearts into it,” Strickler said.
“We’ve planted more than 100 trees, from palms, magnolias, oaks, medjools, and river birch to fruit and nut trees such as peach, peach, pear, plum, apple, citrus, pecan, pomegranate, fig, and avocado,” Strickler said.
All the trees were selected for their ability to adapt to the Florida climate, Strickler said.
Fruit-bearing shrubs---grape, blueberry, raspberry, and elderberry---form barriers and corridors to accent the landscape.
Boutique magnolia specimens form a quiet grove in one part of the park, and in another 1,000 square foot area residents can rent their own sections to plant their own individual gardens of vegetables and ornamentals.
Gardening plots are ADA accessible too, Strickler said.
Outside the gardening compound, common areas are sodded with Zoysia and irrigated with reclaimed water. Closer to the edible plants, Bahia grass and potable irrigation sources are the order of the day.
The Riverwood at Nocatee Homeowners Association Garden Club will take charge of managing Central Park, Strickler said.
“We have an inclusive maintenance and management program in place that the Garden Club can assume once they are well organized,” Strickler said.
“We have many residents anxiously awaiting the opening of Central Park so they can utilize the individual sections available to grow their own fruits and vegetables year round,” said Richard Carty, a Del Webb Ponte Vedra resident heading up the Garden Club.
A second phase will include a bandshell and herb gardens.
Del Webb will host a Fall Grand Opening reception with tours of the Anastasia Clubhouse and Central Park from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22 at the award-winning active adult community, located on Del Webb Parkway in Ponte Vedra.
“We’re hosting a free cocktail hour that will feature several of our Del Webb Ponte Vedra residents,” Strickler said.
Visitors should call 888-817-2249 to RSVP by Oct. 17 to gain access to the community for the event.
Del Webb Ponte Vedra offers Carriage Homes and Single Family homes priced from the mid-$100s.

Rachel Wein of WeinPlus: In Slow Growth Market, Specialization sets Companies apart from the Competition
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. --- Look for real estate owners and developers to specialize more and emphasize their strongest talents as the economy continues to grow slowly, says one top Florida management consultant.
Rachel Elias Wein, AIA, founder and principal of WeinPlus Real Estate Advisory Services in St. Petersburg, said that’s the most logical solution for developers in a slow-growth economy.
“The universe of real estate development projects is not increasing,” Wein said. “Real estate companies who want to maintain market share are going to have to focus on what they do best — what distinguishes them from the competition.”
Wein said one of her clients has focused efforts on specializing in sensitive projects likely to engender political controversy.
“They have a track record of developing solutions that address the needs of the local community and neighbors while maintaining focus on tenants and the bottom line,” Wein said.
“Another client specializes in redevelopment of older retail centers, making improvements, re-tenanting and making older centers shine like new,” she said.
“If you’re dealing in a commodity business, find a way to make your service unique to differentiate yourself and your company from the competition,” Wein said.

Ocoee Goes Green with Self-Service Electronic Permitting in Partnership with Clear Village
ORLANDO, Fla., --- The City of Ocoee recently launched their web based self-service permitting portal in partnership with Clear Village Inc.
“The best practice for permitting is to allow citizens and contractors to apply for permits whenever they wish from our office or anywhere with internet access,” said Craig Shadrix, assistant city manager of Ocoee.
“When it is not convenient for a citizen or contractor to come to City Hall during business hours, we want to offer great service over the City’s website,” said Ocoee city manager Rob Frank. “We selected Clear Village to deliver Ocoee’s web self-service platform because Clear Village provides a friendly, intuitive, collaborative citizen portal and powerful workflow applications for the staff.”
Jim Washington, Ocoee’s building official, describes how supporting electronic documents is a win-win for staff, citizens, contractors and the environment. “We used to require multiple copies of plans as part of a permit application package. Now with Clear Village’s support, citizens and contractors can submit their plans electronically, eliminating printing costs and trips to the office to deliver plans. Supporting electronic documents is efficient for staff and the applicant, and it is better for the environment,” Washington explained.
“Ocoee’s passion to deliver service excellence is to be applauded,” said David Loeb, president of Clear Village. “In addition to reducing costs and saving time for permit applicants, Ocoee will realize substantial staff efficiencies. Time previously spent on data entry and scanning documents can now be invested in taking government service to the next level.”
Stina D’Uva, president of the West Orange Chamber of Commerce, describes Ocoee’s online permitting as pro growth. “Few cities offer more than online forms on their website. Those that offer online permitting do so mostly for contractors. What’s terrific about Ocoee’s self-service capabilities is that they include both citizens and contractors. Eliminating trips to City Hall will save citizens and contractors time and money. The convenience of progressing your permits and inspections anytime demonstrates Ocoee's commitment to attract business and grow the local economy," she emphasized.
Shadrix said Ocoee residents and the contractors that serve them are urged to utilize Ocoee’s web-permitting system.
“It’s easy to register for Ocoee’s web self-service. All you need is an email and a password of your choosing. Ocoee’s online permitting is available at www.permits.ocoee.org. Government eServices include applying for a permit, registering a contractor, requesting an inspection, scheduling a meeting, or tracking the progress of your permit. Expect many more web-based government services as Ocoee’s continuous improvement initiative progresses,” Shadrix said.
Clear Village is a graduate of the UCF Business Incubation Program.
Carol Ann Dykes, UCF Business Incubator site manager in the Central Florida Research Park, says “Clear Village is a great example of how an incubator client can take UCF technology and bring products to market that help government better serve its citizens.”
“Companies like Clear Village demonstrate how the UCF Business Incubation Program helps create high tech jobs in Central Florida,” she said.
