• 15 -year average: 63 inches of rain per year
He noted there has been some flooding within the community.
Darryl Richard stated Shenandoah (County's contractor) examined the pipes on
July 1St and stated they were not blocked. The problem has been the levels of the lakes
within the community have been elevated. (He referred to a map of the community.)
He stated the drainage system was optimized to make it better but it is old and there
are limitations concerning what else might be done. Water in the roadway is always a
possibility.

July 2, 2013
Mr. Richard will contact Stormwater Management concerning the weir at the Gordon
River outflow.
Vice Chairman Fogg explained the water elevation is approximately 4 '/2 to 5 feet.
He noted if the Gordon River Extension floods, the canals will flood and water will
back up into the community.
Jeff from the Quail Run Golf Course stated there may be some watering issues
throughout the communities. The irrigation systems should be off. He noticed the
irrigation system was running during the past week even though the heavy rains made
it unnecessary. He has not watered around the clubhouse in the past 2 -%Z months.
He noted Emerald Lakes has improved but Turtle Lakes is never off. He concluded it
would benefit everyone if the communities would reduce their watering cycles.
Kenneth Bloom suggested sending a letter to the different Condo Associations
requesting that they check their rain sensors and/or turn the system off.
Consensus: Staff will draft a letter to send to the management companies.
Jeff presented photographs of the swales, stating they cannot be mowed due to the
water conditions. The Members stated they understood the situation.
Darryl Richard will contact Stormwater Management to initiate discussion
concerning the structure constructed by Stormwater Management which limits
drainage possibilities.
It was noted August and September are traditionally heavy rainfall months and could
additional heavy rains could cause major drainage issues.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
Follow-up items from last month:
• Electrical work — Emerald Green conduit
o Darryl Richard noted the electrician has received the Purchase Order
and may proceed, but he has not been notified as to when the work will
begin.
• Letter sent to Residents regarding maintenance
• Staff has not received any feedback.
• It appears more residents are moving the grass strip.
• Status of Dedication of Roads (BCC acceptance)
o Darryl Richard stated he has not been able to locate any information.
He will contact the Planning Department to ascertain if anything may be
available from the archives. If so, he will requisition the documents from
storage.
July 2, 2013
He noted in order for the Board of County Commissioners to accept dedication
of the roadways within Forest Lakes, the MSTU must prove that everything
meets the County's current engineering standards and then must petition
the Board. Hiring an engineer to validate compliance with the current
standards would be very expensive.
Vice Chairman Fogg noted the MSTU is responsible for the maintenance
of all of the "quasi- public" roads.
Darryl Richard stated the MSTU is not responsible for traffic signage.
The County's Traffic Operations Department is responsible for the
maintenance of all traffic sign, i.e., stop signs.
• Trees at Boulevard Entrance
o Kenneth Bloom noted the trees should be trimmed. Private homeowners
are not taking responsibility. He stated anyone walking on the proposed
sidewalk will have an issue due to the trees which will block their line of
sight.
o Clearance must be 10 -feet above the sidewalk.
o Darryl Richard will review the issue with Scott Windham.
