Recreation Area

Jim Lynn perceived installing a walkway near the Pool and Bridge area
will prompt curiosity and be a privacy issue.
Discussion ensued and the following suggestions were made by Scott
Windham, Darryl Richard, and George Fogg to address the privacy
issue at the Pool area:
o Remove the section of walkway leading directly from the
roadway
o Remove the concrete bicycle pad
o Install a Landscape buffer in front of the Pool area to avert
pedestrian traffic
o Perceived the suggested changes can be incorporated into the
MSTU Sidewalk Project
The underground Power Lines (South side) were discussed and the
following concerns were noted:
o In some areas the Power Line may run underneath the sidewalk
- Installing a walkway along the Power Line presents a
major problem in the future if FPL repairs are required
- The Committee is concerned with potential future repair
cost
o The Power Line runs the length of the roadway (South side)
o The Power Line (South side) is the main feeder for the entire
Condo area
o (Maintenance) Offsets from Utilities is required
Staff stated the RWA Survey will be complete in 30 days.

North side as he perceived the South side is problematic.
