What Makes Islandwalk Different
4 Things Every Islandwalk Homeowner Needs to Know
Islandwalk's ARC has specific requirements that catch homeowners off guard — Florida-Friendly design preferences, contractor documentation at submission, and CDD pond setbacks that affect fence and irrigation placement.
Florida-Friendly Landscaping Preferred
Islandwalk's ARC strongly encourages Florida-Friendly and drought-tolerant plant selections. Designs using native species, low-water-use plants, and reduced turf areas are more likely to receive fast approval. SunWest designs with the Florida-Friendly palette as the default.
License & Insurance Required at Submission
All contractor work at Islandwalk requires license and insurance proof submitted with the ARC application — not just at the time of work. SunWest pre-verifies every contractor's DBPR license status and insurance before the ARC package is assembled.
CDD Pond Setback Restrictions
Islandwalk's CDD drainage restrictions near community ponds affect irrigation head placement and fence setbacks. Properties adjacent to community ponds require CDD review before irrigation or fence design is finalized. Your PM identifies pond adjacency at the site assessment phase.
Active ARC Board — Timely Submissions Matter
Islandwalk has an active ARC board with a regular meeting cycle. Missing the submission cutoff adds weeks to your project timeline. SunWest tracks the ARC calendar and submits complete applications before the cutoff — not after.
