ORLANDO, Fla. — On Tuesday night, residents in the Tymber Skan community will have a chance to make their voices heard.

A community meeting is being held with Orange County Commissioner Michael Scott.

The complex is just east of John Young Parkway and north of Holden Avenue. This comes after commissioners were expected to vote on filing for a receivership for the condos last month, but backlash from residents led them to table the proposal.

Now both county leaders and residents alike are hoping for more communication about how to move forward.

Soren Harris and his roommates moved into a three bedroom and two bath condo in Tymber Skan about five weeks ago.

As a new business owner, it was something he could afford.

“Orlando is expensive,” said Harris.

He knew of the ongoing issues with the area, but what drew him here were his neighbors.

“I found a community here, and I found some opportunity here,” said Harris.

Among them is Cynthia Claytor, who at 70 years old has lived across the street in her condo for the last 13 years.

The two of them are worried about the future of their community, which is why they spoke up last month when county leaders discussed filing for a receivership for the condos, which would force them out of their homes.

“They want this land very badly. It’s prime property,” said Claytor. “We have a lake, we have a lot of things going here. It feels like that’s what it’s all about is dragging us out here so they can redevelop.”

Claytor and Harris explained the community has banded together to make improvements, even disposing of trash dumped in areas they say belong to the county. They say they it felt like they were in a constant fight to improve their neighborhood when the county won’t help them.

“If you own 38% of this property, why aren’t you out here maintaining? Why are you leaving it up to the community to do it?,” asked Claytor.

District 6 commissioner Michael Scott says he is aware of the issues on their property. He discussed a county-owned building in the neighborhood where people are actively squatting without running water. He said tomorrow night’s meeting will be all about listening.

“I think that we as the county need to know what their needs are long and short term and how do we meet those needs if we do move to receivership,” said Scott.

Scott shared that despite the work that is being done by residents, he wants them to understand that more needs to be done.

“While they may make improvements on the surface level, there are still things that have to happen from an infrastructure standpoint. We’re talking about fire safety, asphalt, as you can see, there’s a lot of trash around here. There’s no regular trash pickup, things like that.”

As for residents like Harris and Claytor, they are anxious about what the future could hold for them, not having anywhere else to go.

“We’re not just a community,” said Claytor. “We’re a family, and it’s like splitting up a family.”

Tuesday night’s meeting is open to the public and will be held at Memorial Middle school at 6 p.m. This issue is expected to go before the board again in March.
