Sidewalks Project:
• Demolition at the Front Entrance was initiated by 3RS Equipment
• An Information packet was distributed to the Community
• A graphic by Windham Studio was displayed at the Club House
10:13 a.m. Kevin McKyton arrived.
George Fogg reported (3) large Ficus Trees on Woodshire (east side) are
defoliating. Additionally thousands of white flies are on the Tree(s) (samples of
the white flies were presented.)
Darryl Richard noted:
• Based on the Windham Studio Drawing (2) Ficus Trees are tagged
o Perceived (1) of the tagged Trees possibly may be removed as
it appears to be located in the ROW
• The Golf Club is amiable to removing the Ficus Trees
Pam Lulich recommended treating the white flies with insecticide (Merit.)
George Fogg stated:
• The condition of the Trees is severe
• Deemed the situation is compounded by the Hedge that is encroaching
on the MSTU ROW (by the Publix Shopping Center)
• Questioned who is responsible to treat the Ficus Trees
Darryl Richard responded historically the Shopping Center treated the Trees
located on their property and the Golf Course treated the large Ficus Trees for
the previous white fly infestation.
Discussion ensued on the Ficus Trees and it was stated:
o (1) Tree will be impacted by the ROW work (MSTU responsibility)
o (1) center Tree is located in the MSTU ROW
o The responsibility for treatment or removal of the (1) remaining Tree
(southern location) was unknown
Staff expressed concern of potential sidewalk damage by Tree roots.
The recommendation was made (by Staff) to obtain a Contractor quote to
inoculate the infested Trees and evaluate the roots to determine if the Trees are
salvageable.
After much discussion the Committee concluded:
• To obtain a quote (within 3 days) to inoculate the Trees
• If the quote exceed $5,000.00 the Trees it will be removed
Kenneth Bloom moved to direct Staff to have a Contactor evaluate the Tree
and if the cost to inoculate exceeds $5,000.00 Staff is authorized to remove
the Tree. Second by George Fogg.
Staff stated:
o (3) Trees are effected however during this Project (1) Tree will be
evaluated for treatment or removal
o The cost of a new Tree is approximately $500.00 per Tree
2
The cost variances to purchase healthy Trees and the Annual inoculation cost
were discussed.
The Committee agreed to amend the motion to modify the not to exceed amount
for the Tree inoculation.
The motion was amended to read. "not to exceed $2,000.00 (annually.)"
Discussion continued on the Annual Tree inoculation cost.
It was suggested to amend the motion to include: if the inoculation cost exceeds
$2,000.00 the Trees will be removed immediately through the existing
Maintenance Contract (as the presence of white fly will affect the other Trees in
the Community)
The motion was amended to read. not to exceed $2, 000.00 (annually) "and if the
Treatment cost exceeds $2,000.00 the (3) Trees will be removed
immediately. Motion carried unanimously 5 -0.

resides within the City's jurisdiction
VIII. New Business - None
IX. Public Comment
Chuck Stemples questioned if lighting and sidewalks will be installed on Quail
Forest Blvd. as the area is extremely dark and dangerous.
George Fogg replied that installing lighting was a possibility.
Staff stated that installing sidewalks was not probable based on the following:
o Easements are required to install sidewalks as the area is under
ownership of Belvedere
• A Public usage area is not designated in the Condominium section
• Proper drainage is also an issue
After discussion the Committee concluded that installing Lighting on Quail Forest
Blvd., Forest Lakes Dr., and the adjoining Streets (South) will provide safety and
consistency within the Forest Lakes Development.
George Fogg moved to explore the feasibility and cost of installing lights
on Quail Forest Blvd. and Forest Lakes Dr. Second by Dick Barry. Motion
carried unanimously 5 -0.
Chuck Stemples reported (5) large Trees by the pond (Quail Forest Blvd.) that
are dying due to woodpecker holes in the Trees from the base to the top.
