What is a Holley by the Seacouple to do when theirfavorite restaurant is in Des-tin?

If that couple is Homer andLinda Biggers, the answer isto open up that very restau-rant in Pensacola.

Homer and Linda came toFlorida in 2004. After vaca-tioning in the Caribbean, Lin-da told Homer that Florida is“every bit as pretty” as theCaribbean and Homer replied,“Let’s see.” The two came toFlorida, and have calledNavarre home for the last eightyears.

“We have a timeshare inthe Caribbean,” Homer said,“and we don’t use it.”

When they began visitingAnother Broken Egg in Des-tin, they became friends withthe owners and kept askingthem to open one in Navarre.After requesting again thattheir friends open a restaurantin Navarre, the owner said toHomer, “Why don’t you openone?” That one question setthe ball in motion and two yearslater, Linda and Homer are theproud owners of their ownAnother Broken Egg restau-rant. Linda grew up in Lafayette,La., and Homer grew up inNorth Carolina. Linda’s fam-ily later moved to Texas, andafter a stint in the Army and asuccessful construction busi-ness in Idaho, Homer movedto Texas.

The two met after the “500-

year” flood hit Victoria, Texasin 1999. The Guadalupe Riv-er rose to high levels, destroy-ing many homes that sat closeto the river bank. Linda wasworking for Interfaith Disas-ter Response, an organizationthat was created after the flood.The organization worked withFEMA, Red Cross, the Salva-tion Army and other relieforganizations to help the fam-ilies that lost their homesrebuild.

One day Homer met awoman that worked for Inter-faith Disaster Response thatasked if he would be inter-ested in helping rebuild thehomes. Since he wasn’t work-ing, he volunteered to help.

“That’s when she took meto a back room,” Homer said,“and introduced me to myboss, Linda.”

Linda was a case workerthat worked to establish rela-tionships and decide wherethe monies were needed inorder to “get the people backon their feet.”

It was during their workthat Linda got to know Homerand “I knew his heart wasgood.”

They married in 2000. After moving to Florida,

Linda worked as a registerednurse for Gulf Breeze Hospi-tal and the Andrews Institute.

The decision to open therestaurant was not difficult.Homer’s experience in own-ing a business was helpful inguiding the process. Once abuilding was settled upon,and the financing was in place,

it was a simple matter of get-ting the permits from Pen-sacola City and EscambiaCounty.

Homer said that the city “hasbeen grand to work with.” Inone case, there were someissues regarding the setbackwith the restaurant hangingover city property by two feet.This threatened to stop thefinancing, but then the may-or suggested the Biggers requesta “vacation” for the property.The city approved the “requestto vacate” and Homer was pro-vided a deed for the two feetof city property.

Homer was actively involved

in the remodeling of the build-ing. It had been used as anoffice before but the purchasefor the restaurant, and withhim, his architect and con-tractor, who “were great,” andit only took a couple of monthsto refinish the building.

The grand opening was Jan.23 and they have been busyevery day. Homer and Lindaare happy the restaurant hasbeen so well received by thepublic and hope the customerskeep coming.

Another Broken Egg islocated at 721 E. GregorySt. and is open daily from7a.m.-2.p.m.

Photo by Yvonne HarperHomer and Linda Biggers are now the proud owners of theirfavorite restaurant, Another Broken Egg, in Pensacola.

Breaking eggs to make breakfast Board meeting gives little noticeBy Yvonne C. HarperHBTSnews.com

Several minutes of banter about the “type” of board meet-ing being held occurred before any issues were discussedduring a Feb. 20 Holley by the Sea meeting.

HBTS member Pat Traynor took exception to the meet-ing being called in a relatively short period of time with“nothing on the marquee” to inform the residents.

Board of Directors President Pete Peterzen stated themeeting was advertised in accordance with the HBTScovenant and no notice is required because it is a regularboard meeting and not a special meeting.

In an email to HBTS resident Beth Walter before the meet-ing, BOD Secretary Brooke Goldberg stated the reason forholding a meeting so close after the Feb. 7 regular meetingwas the need to resolve several issues that were not resolvedin the first monthly meeting.

She also stated there are no “notice requirements” for aregular meeting, but nonetheless, the meeting was adver-tised.

Peterzen reiterated Goldberg’s statement to Traynor.After that was resolved, the meeting began in earnest.The BOD members present were Pete Peterzen, Brooke

Goldberg and William Stewart.

Usage variance requestThe first issue discussed was a usage variance request

made by a HBTS member that is active duty military. Shewas requesting to have a friend be allowed unlimited accessto the recreational center in order to bring her children(active duty member) to HBTS classes. She explained thather husband is also active duty military and is presentlydeployed.

The BOD made and approved the motion to allow thethird adult access to the facilities until such time as thedeployed parent returns home.

General manager Peterzen updated the BOD about the general manager

search and it wasn’t good news. “I thought we were good,”Peterzen said, “until last week.” The individual that had beenselected did not return phone calls and when she was final-ly reached, she told Peterzen she was declining the offer. Asecond “qualified” applicant had already accepted a job offerwith a different company.

“We’re back to where we were,” said Peterzen.Peterzen suggested three alternative ideas: offering an

above market salary and re-advertising the position; startnegotiating with an outside management company to over-see the HBTS facility operations at a higher expense; or hir-ing a consultant to provide advice to the interim generalmanager and guidance to the BOD.

He stated that he would like for members to send theirideas via email or letter in order to discuss the situation fur-ther at the next BOD meeting.

For the time being, Jennie Barrett will remain as the inter-im general manager.

Tennis proThe next item discussed was the salary structure for the

tennis pro that was recently hired. Peterzen recommend-ed providing a yearly salary of $32,000 with all fees for ten-nis lessons going to HBTS. Any fees that exceed the $1,230per pay period would be given to the tennis pro.

He would also be compensated for duties outside ofteaching that is not fee driven, such as instruction to ten-nis players about the proper use of the tennis courts. Thiscompensation would include workers’ compensation.

It was also recommended that the approved pay struc-ture be evaluated in a few months to ensure HBTS isn’t sub-sidizing his salary. Meeting continued on page 4

in the bylaws of what isa permanent structureand where recreationalvehicles must be parked.

The survey results indi-cated that 12 percent ofthe responding residentswere from Hidden CreekEstates and eight percentwere from one builderthat owns 96 propertieswithin HBTS but doesnot reside in the com-munity.

Of the respondents,471 were for parkingvehicles “in a garage; 285were for placing vehicles“in the backyard” with nofence requirement; 619

marked “behind a 6-footprivacy fence; the remain-ing 446 check “on the sideof the house” with nofence required, but behindthe front edge of thehome.

The issue was dis-cussed briefly during theFeb. 20 BOD meeting andwill be addressed furtherat the March 6 meeting.

Board of DirectorsPresident Pete Peterzenstated that the boardwill be “figuring whatwe need to do” by ana-lyzing the survey andlooking at the legalrequirement to “imple-ment restrictions onissuing special parkingpermits.”

out” said Steve. Of his parents meet-ing he said, “To put it simple hethought she was hot when he firstmet her.”

After college, Harry joined theArmy and spent a lot of time onassignment, away from his family.Steve explained that at that time, themilitary assignments were more“short-term” and his father was goneoften.

“My parents didn’t know whatmilitary life would be like,” Stevesaid, “but they embraced it.”

After Harry retired in 1982 as Lieu-tenant Colonel, he entered the civ-il service field. He and Adell returnedto Germany, but also traveled and“really got to enjoy” the areas thatthey had previously been, but were

unable to take fully enjoy. Stevespoke of his father’s humor sayinghe had an “open and well-exercisedsense of humor.”

“He used to say, if you can’t beanything else, be on time.”

Steve said that although his fathersaid it jokingly, it was one he livedby. When Steve began to take careof Harry’s affairs after his mom’spassing, he regularly heard what “agreat man he was.”

“He was always ready to helpout,” Steve said, “no matter whatit was.”

Holley by the Sea front office man-ager Pam Baty echoed that senti-ment; “he was always helpful” espe-cially with helping other board mem-bers with whatever it was they need-ed. Harry will be missed by family,friends and the Holley by the Seacommunity.

HBTS Covenants A reason for the rules

Holley by the Sea’s rules and restrictions are notmeant as an inconvenience or an invasion ofyour freedom. Rather, the Covenants uphold ourcommunity’s aesthetic standards and protecthomeowners’ investments by boosting the valueand desirability of property. It is critical all resi-dents abide by the association’s Covenants inorder to maintain the community’s integrity. Itjust takes a handful of unsightly properties to di-minish the overall appeal of our neighborhood. With more than 4,700 properties, there is noway the Architectural Department can consis-tently canvas the community and inspect eachproperty. Therefore, we rely on assistance fromthe Architectural Committee and communitymembers to inform us of potential violations.Let’s all work together to continue to make Hol-ley by the Sea a great place to live. In today’sstruggling economy, who needs a neighbor’s un-kempt property lowering the value of theirhome or deter a potential buyer?To report a violation, call the Architectural De-partment at 939-1693 ext. 3. All informationreported remains confidential.

Community Cleanup DayInformation is coming on the next HBTS Com-munity Day. Don’t miss it. Community involve-ment results in community pride.

Lawn and Landscaping Now is the time to start planning and preparingyour lawn for the warm growing season. A nicelawn and landscaping is a small investment thatcreates big results. It increases your propertyvalue and enhances the curb appeal of youhome.

MarchLawn Tips – Northwest Floridahttp://santarosa.ifas.ufl.edu/lng/monthly-gar-den-tips/

FlowersAnnual flowers that can be planted in March in-clude: ageratum, alyssum, amaranthus, asters,baby’s breath, begonia, calendula, celosia, cosmos,dahlia, dusty miller, gaillardia, geranium, holly-hock, impatiens, marigold, nicotiana, ornamentalpepper, pentas, phlox, rudbeckia, salvia, sweetWilliams, torenia, verbena, vinca and zinnia.

Trees and Shrubs■ Finish pruning summer flowering shrubs suchas althea, hibiscus, abelia, oakleaf hydrangea andoleander.■ Delay the pruning of azaleas, camellias, spi-raeas, gardenias and other spring flowering shrubsuntil after flowering is complete.■ Prune any cold weather-damaged plants afternew growth appears.■ If needed, fertilize shrubs and small trees witha slow release fertilizer. A good general-purposelandscape fertilizer is a 15-0-15.■ Mature palms should receive an application ofgranular fertilizer. Use a special palm fertilizer thathas an 8-2-12 +4Mg (magnesium) with micronu-trients formulation. Apply one pound of fertilizerper 100-square feet of canopy area or landscapearea.■ Last opportunity to spray shrubs with dormanthorticultural oil. ■ Pick up all fallen camellia blossoms and removethem from your property. This practice helps toprevent petal blight next season.■ Prune ornamental grasses.■ If you are in the market for specific colors ofazaleas, visit the local nurseries and garden centersthis month. Though this is not the most ideal plant-ing time you are assured of the right flower colorwithout having to wait until next blooming season.■ Time to finish planting bare-root fruit trees.

Lawns■ Remove excessive accumulation of leaves fromthe lawn. This will increase the effectiveness of fer-tilizers and pesticides applied to the lawn.■ If a pre-emergence lawn herbicide is needed tocontrol summer weeds, it should be applied in

early March. Make certain to choose one that is safeon your kind of grass. ■ Keep lawn herbicides away from the root zonesof desirable flower, shrubs and other plants.■ Fertilize the lawn only after the danger of frosthas passed and when the grass has greened up. Fer-tilize using a complete fertilizer applied at 0.5pounds nitrogen per 1000-square feet containing50-percent soluble and 50-percent slow-release ni-trogen. ■ Service the lawn mower: include a sharpening ofthe blade and adjusting of the cutting height for yourtype of grass. ■ Anyone considering establishment of centipedegrass from seed should hold off until the soil warmsup and stabilizes above 70 degrees.

Trash CansThree reasons to keep them hidden

All trash containers must be concealed from publicview except on trash pickup days. Awareness and en-forcement of this restrictive covenant has become pri-ority now that each property has a trash andrecycling bin. By the number of containers that areleft in front of the house and along the road, it seemsmany residents feel this violation is petty and unim-portant. In addition to the requirement to comply with allcommunity restrictions, below are three more rea-sons residents should store their trash and recycle binout-of-sight.

Aesthetics –Trash and recycle cans are big andbulky and create the industrial feel. They are un-sightly and hinder the charm and appeal of ourneighborhoodAnimal control – Prevents neighbors pets andother wild animals from rummaging for food in thetrash cans… Additionally, prevents the chance of lit-ter resulting from the overturned trash.Identity theft – Your trash is a venue for crime.Typically looking for credit card offers, bank state-ments, social security information; however, junk mailcan be a helpful source of information for thieves.Hiding these bins deters primal opportunities.

mational purposes only the needto create a standard for allowingmembers to park their boats, RVs,campers or other large vehicles innon-permanent structures. At thepresent time, the county only per-mits “permanent structures” andprivacy fences are not considereda “permanent structure.” Howev-er, current bylaws allow for mem-bers to park their vehicles inside aprivacy fence or in their driveways.

“We are proceeding on figur-ing out what we need to do,”Peterzen said, to include “analyz-ing the surveys and looking at thelegal requirement to implementrestrictions on special parking per-mits.”

He noted though that existingmembers would be grandfatheredin any new policy.

bers that there will be a specialboard meeting at 6 p.m. March 6in the HBTS rec center commonarea. The meeting will be held todiscuss the pool heating and ifHBTS is going to go through withsolar heating. If it is decided thatsolar heating is the right choice, adiscussion of selecting the con-tractor will take place.

Open forumA member told the board mem-

bers that he was upset about con-tractors “starting work early in themorning” especially on the week-end. Peterzen stated that whileHBTS does have the authority toimpose restrictions on contrac-tors, further discussions abouthow best to handle the situationwill need to be had.

Beach houseJennie Barrett discussed dam-

age to the counter top from a mem-ber that recently rented the beachhouse. She proposed replacing thesink at the same time the countertop was replaced. According to Bar-rett, the cost to replace the count-er top would be $1,126 and thesink would cost $700.

The procedures for holding amember’s deposit fee and when amember is contacted regardingdamages was discussed.

Goldberg noted that she doesnot support the present policy thatdoes not allow a renter to do thewalk-through with HBTS per-sonnel at the time it is completed.“This doesn’t allow the memberto immediately address any issue,”Goldberg said.

Peterzen commented that giv-en the fact that the member was-n’t notified immediately, but ratherfour days after the walk-through,it would be hard to defend againstthe claim that the member wasn’tresponsible for the damage. Hesuggested that with any futuredamages, the member be notifiedimmediately. “Unless this personacquiesces,” Peterzen said, “we needto drop the charge and move on,lesson learned.”

After further discussion, a motionwas made to charge the individ-ual only for the repair of the dam-aged section of the counter top andrefund the difference (of securitydeposit) to member.

During Holley by the Sea’sFeb. 7 board of directorsmeeting it was reported that82 percent of assessmentshave been collected. Fur-thermore, audits were com-pleted but the results havenot been finalized yet. Forthose members that havenot paid their assessments,there is now a late chargeof $25 applied plus 5.48-percent interest charged foreach late month.

Other old business includ-ed the approval of architec-tural and usage variances, witheach request being approvedunanimously. During theunfinished business portionof the meeting, it was approvedto expend no more than$11,500 to repair and replacethe irrigation system on theeast-side of the property.

Updates on the securitydecision were discussed butno decision was reached.Two of the nine securitycameras on the facility havebeen replaced by Smith

Security, but the new onesoverload the recording sys-tem. Additionally, SmithSecurity recommendedreplacing the other sevencameras as well as the DVRand power supply. The costfor the equipment and laborwill cost about $5,000.

The social committeereported having $618.69available funds. Social com-mittee upcoming eventsinclude a yard sale from 6a.m.-noon on March 24, andthe annual Easter Egg Huntplanned for March 31 with

details to follow.After closing the old busi-

ness, new business topicswere discussed. The firstitem was two fee waiverrequests: one was approved,the second disapproved.

The Architectural Com-

mittee informed the boardof a two-member loss: BobGellar who is steppingdown, and Lee Steinert whopassed away. It will not affectthe committee’s ability tohave a quorum because onlythree members are neededand the committee has aremaining five members.

Board of Directors Presi-dent Pete Peterzen recom-mended that the tennis pro’ssalary be recouped throughtennis fees, and any remain-ing funds would be on an80/20 split with the pro receiv-

ing 80 percent and HBTSreceiving the 20 percent. Nodecision was reached and itwas left open.

Plans to extend the side-walk on Sunrise Drive toU.S. Highway 98 were dis-cussed to include the neces-sity of an easement, but nodecision was reached.

YARD OF THE MONTHMarch 2012

7

By Joanna HammondHBTSnews.com

Terry and Elizabeth Potts,2692 Citrus Street, are thismonth’s Yard of the Month forHolley by the Sea. Their yardwas chosen by previous win-ners Don and Heidi Long.

“The yard always looks niceand neat,” Don said of thePotts yard. “The circular driveis really nice.”

The circular driveway adds adistinctive element to thePotts’ yard, and it is lined withpavers and white stones. Acentral island with a large,squat palm tree lends a tropi-cal look to the landscaping.

The yard is lit with luminar-ies that line the curve of thedriveway, with small tropicalplants dotting the edges.

“The yard is very well kept,”Don added.

Architectural elements arean important part of the aes-thetics of the Potts’ yard. Thegarage on their home is offset,and a second driveway leadsback to the garage for addi-tional space.

The home has a wide frontporch which spans the lengthof the house, and features

Unique architecture adds drama to yard of the month

white Adirondack chairs for enjoying thespring and summer evenings along theEmerald Coast.

Small statues grace the flower beds inthe front of the house, and a smaller island

with two tall, graceful palms separates thefront yard from the side and the additionaldriveway.

The effect of all of these elements is oneof understated elegance. No one aspect of

the landscaping is emphasized overanother and all the piece work together toform a beautiful, understated yard.

Terry and Elizabeth Potts could not bereached for comment by press time.

Holley by the Sea will remain withouta permanent general manager for awhile longer. Board of Director’s Presi-dent Pete Peterzen stated during theFeb. 20 board meeting that “we are backto where we were.”

A candidate had been selected fromthe seven applications received and shewas offered the position. However,according to Peterzen, after attempts toreach her in mid-February were unsuc-cessful, she finally let it be known thatshe was declining the offer.

There was one more qualified candi-date and when he was contacted, heinformed the BOD that he hadobtained employment elsewhere.

Peterzen expressed concerns that thelack of interest in the job could be theresult of “rumors” about the BOD “notlistening and not respecting” the gener-al manager.

He noted that there have been “fiveor six general managers” in the 14 yearshe has been a member of HBTS.

He reviewed the history of the gener-al manager’s departures and stated thatone general manager left because ofsexual harassment, another becauseemployment was sought elsewhere,and others because of “complaints ofthe board not listening.” Because of thishistory, “maybe there is some truth,”Peterzen said, “that general managersdon’t see working at HBTS as a careerchoice.”

He suggested alternative ideas tobring in more applicants. One idea wasto offer an above mid-market salary of$75,000 to $90,000 and then re-adver-

tise the position. He also suggestednegotiating with an outside manage-ment company to oversee the facility’soperation, “but that will be more expen-sive.” A third option would be to hire aconsultant that could come in once ortwice a week and act as an advisor tothe board and to help Jennie as theinterim manager and to “keep her out oftrouble.”

Peterzen and BOD Secretary BrookeGoldberg stated they were open to“advice and listening” to any new gen-eral manager.

Peterzen asked members to write anyideas on how best to approach the situ-ation in a letter addressed to the boardof directors or to email the ideas [email protected]. Hesaid the board would then consider theideas at the next board of directorsmeeting March 6.

A summary of the job description isto “supervise the Holley by the SeaImprovement Association, Inc. staffwith responsibility for operationsincluding personnel management andsupervision, budgeting, financial report-ing, and maintenance of facilities whilemaintaining a close working relation-ship with the Board of Directors.”

Qualifications include a currentCommunity Association Manager(CAM) license, a B.A. or B.S. in businessor related field, three to five years expe-rience as a property manager of a largehomeowners association, and experi-ence with financials, balance sheets,physical plant management and humanresources.

Any one interested in the job cancontact Landrum Staffing for moreinformation.

Everyone has visions of a yard that is a tropical oasis of their very own. The prob-lem for many homeowners, is knowing how to turn that visioninto a reality.

Father and Son Landscape Maintenance is there to providecustom solutions for your lawn’s problems to keep it lush andgreen.

Owner Skip Orth has more than 20 years of experience in thefield and a passion for landscaping. He also has a passion forbringing to life his customers’ ideal lawnscapes.

Since opening Father and Son with his own son Buddy in2003, the business has seen tremendous growth. Skip attributesthis to his commitment to customer service.

“I believe a big part of our success is that we do anything andeverything to make sure our customers are happy,” he said.

Now that Buddy is serving his country in the U.S. Army,completing his Explosive Ordinance Disposal training at EglinAir Force Base, Skip relies on his “substitute sons” to keepFather and Son Landscaping growing strong.

Father and Son now includes two full-time maintenancecrews, a landscape crew, a lawn spray technician who diag-noses and treats lawns, as well as an irrigation technician toinstall and repair irrigation systems.

Major clean ups, landscape upgrades, landscape lighting,privacy fences, decks, and pressure washing are just some of the other servicesoffered by Father and Son.

“No matter what landscape project you have in mind,” he continued. “We canmost likely meet your need.”

Skip said he also believes customers choose his business because they can tellhe has a passion for it.

“Landscaping is not my retirement job. It’s not something I decided to dobecause I wanted to get out of an office. I didn’t start this business because I lostmy other job … The truth is, I’m passionate about landscaping,” Skip said.

Skip has made the decision to keep Father and Son local, providing service onlyin the Navarre and Gulf Breeze areas, meaningthe teams are available to their customers.

“Having a smaller service area enables us to bemuch more responsive to our customers,” Skipsaid. “If you need attention, most of the time we’llbe right around the corner.”

Winter is the perfect time to begin a landscapeproject, including treating problem lawns andestablishing new growth before the spring rushsets in.

“By April my workload can be backed up threeor four weeks,” Skip said. “Customers who actnow can have their project started in three to fourdays.”

By starting now, homeowners can beat therush and ensure that their little piece of paradiseis ready for spring.

To get your lawn in shape for spring, call Fatherand Son Landscape Maintenance now.

Besides beingour good friend and neighbor, we will remember all the contribu-tions Lee has made to our community and how passionate he wasabout improving HBTS. You are in our hearts forever Lee.
