CDD website gets upgrade, new look The CDD unveiled a new ballantraecdd.org website on Sept. 9, its first major update since it went online in April 2009. The impetus for the update was a lawsuit. Ballantrae was among 23 CDDs in Florida sued by a Miami resident for not having an ADA-compatible website. Virtually none of the 600-plus CDDs in Florida have websites with such compatibility. Neither do most federal, state or local governments. The CDD’s insurance company paid $12,200 as our share to settle the lawsuit. The CDD agreed to show substantial progress by Oct. 1 towards a site and content that are both ADA compatible. Instead, the board has completed and uploaded a fully-compatible site and content in advance of that deadline. Besides meeting federal ADA compatibility standards, the CDD has documented that its site includes all content mandated by state law. The site goes even beyond that. It includes documents of interest to residents not required by state law: the community calendar showing clubhouse rentals and available hours, minutes of CDD meetings, reference copies of the Communicator newsletter and other documents. Those other documents include, for example, how to obtain photo ID swipe cards to access gated amenities, how to obtain temporary street parking permits, rules for lawn and landscaping irrigation and how to report street light outages. The original website cost the CDD $200 annually for hosting services. It was maintained on a volunteer basis, with former CDD board member Steve White managing the website and CDD chairman Jim Flateau preparing most content. Vendor set up of the new compatible website and content cost $1,470. Website services for the coming year will cost $615. Remediating content for ADA compatibility prior to posting will cost 98 cents per page. That is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $900 for the coming year. • 4 Ballantrae Communicator | Autumn 2019 Visit your CDD website at www.ballantraecdd.org The new CDD website consists of image shown on page 4 at left, above the content shown below.

    Scottish Government VisitStraiton Energy Consents Unit 18 Main Street 4th Floor, 5 Atlantic Quay Straiton 150 Broomielaw Glasgow G2 8LU Maybole South Ayrshire KA19 7NF [email protected] [email protected] http://visitstraiton.com 10th January 2014 by post and email Dear Sirs, RE: the proposed KEIRS HILL WIND FARM, near Patna, East Ayrshire In addition to objections which we will be making separately as concerned individuals, we (the undersigned) would like to object to the proposed Keirs Hill Wind Farm, which we believe would have a damaging effect on a healthy local tourist industry in Straiton, 3.5km away. In brief, we belief that the integrity of the Galloway Forest Park, the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park and the Galloway and South Ayrshire Biosphere as tourist destinations are threatened by a development on such a large scale on the major tourist route from the Central Belt to Dumfries and Galloway, the A713; we believe the development is too close to the much loved and used Monument Hill walk, as well as to the nationally significant Designed Landscapes of Blairquhan and Craigengillan; and we believe the survey carried out shows that the threat posed by Keirs Hill to the many tourist businesses in Straiton and nearby is real, and the dismissal of this threat by the PBA Roger Tym survey is completely contradicted by the evidence that they themselves adduce. In April 2013, we also produced a report on tourism in Straiton, Wind Farm Development & Tourism in Straiton: a case-study of tourist provision for the Galloway Forest Park and the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park.
