Connie Lucey
Eileen Lucey stated that Forest Lakes Golf and Tennis Residents are
opposed to installing the sidewalk on the North side of Forest Lakes
Blvd. for the following reasons:
o Privacy at the Community Pool would be affected as trees will
be removed and the walkway will be very close to the Pool
o Numerous Banks exists along the roadway (North side)
o A Large Electrical Box is located in front of the Pool area
Darryl Richard reported:
o A 60 ft. dedicated easement (Utility easement) is available
o The 60 ft. easement is not affiliated with Turtle Lakes Golf
Colony as it is owned by the Property Owners to the North
George Fogg noted that the final decision for the sidewalk location is
pending additional research and approval by the Condo Associations.
Jim Dougherty stated that the Recreation Area (Pool) is shared by (3)
Condo Associations (Villas and both Golf and Tennis.)
Jim Lynn questioned the Committee on what the most practical and
economical location is to install the sidewalk (North or South.) He
perceived the South side as the most cost effective.
Scott Windham stated:
o Consideration to install the sidewalk on the North side of Forest
Lakes Blvd. was based on a final review to determine the
appropriate side of the roadway
2
o Noted the following factors reviewed by the Committee and Staff
at the March 25th Field meeting
- Utilities
- Egress
- North side Grade issues - it was determined a retaining
wall is not required
- Economically
- Easement Acquisition
Findings from the March 25th Field meeting:
o The North side will incur the least amount of impact
o A significant quantity of mature Shade Trees will be
incorporated into the Street Tree System along the walkway
- Resulting in the need for fewer new Trees
o Minimal Impact to existing the Trees
- Remove Old Bottlebrush Tree (in very ill health)
- Cutback Pigmy Date Palm (on the east end)
Darryl Richard noted the following:
o The Turtle Lakes Board is predominantly in favor of the Project
o An Easement is required from the North side Property Owners
George Fogg emphasized the need to act quickly on the Sidewalk
installation (to provide a safe pathway for Residents.)
Discussion took place on potential conflicts with installing the sidewalk
on the South side and the existing underground Electrical Line:
Scott Windham identified potential issues:
o Future access by FPL may be a conflict with sidewalks that are
in the vicinity
o Placement of Street Trees in relation to the Utility Line
o Currently data is not available and the exact route of the
underground Electrical Line is unknown
Kevin McKyton recognized that the MSTU will be responsible for
sidewalk repairs if damaged by FPL while performing Maintenance on
the Electrical Line.
Discussion resumed on the North side installation.
Scott Windham stated:
o Construction is easier
- The installation is just a basic offset from the roadway
- Less concrete is required
o Fewer Trees are required
3
George Fogg moved to hold a public meeting within the next
month for Residents in the (proposed) area of the development.
Without a second the motion was withdrawn.
Darryl Richard perceived the Bidding may be delayed on the Sidewalk
Project as coordination is needed with the Property Owners.
Jim Dougherty suggested Staff coordinate a field meeting with Staff,
Scott Windham, (3) HOA Presidents, and Condo Manager to the
resolve the sidewalk issue.
Staff noted the Field meeting (next week) will be publically advertized
to include a notation that MSTU Board Members may be present.
