b. Increase Storm Drain size from 24"to 36"between Forest Lakes Blvd and Lake 18
c. Extend an 18"Drain to the north side of Forest Lakes Blvd from JB5.
d. Widen and deepen swales along Hole #17.
Item a, b, and c would cost approximately$100,000 and item d would have a cost of$254,000
some of which could be absorbed by the golf course. None of the segments would move the
water out of the community any faster, but it would move it out of the roadway much faster
and lower the high water mark during a severe storm by up to 18". Doug Burnham manager
of the Golf course stated that the Golf Course was agreeable in principle and would need a year or
to accumulate funds to be able to contribute.
Chairman Fogg moved to continue with the investigative action moving towards over all
completion, doing items a, b, and c first followed by d at a later date. Seconded by Mr. Berry,
Motion carried 4-0.

along Forest Lakes Blvd was continued from last meeting. Ground Zero had pruned the trees
twice and had achieved satisfactory results.

the design. Item tabled until the end of the meeting.

suggestions. Tabled to the next meeting.
E. Budget Report. Tabled until the next meeting

Emerald Green HOA to donate two benches to be located within the MSTU area. Objections noted
were installation costs, maintenance costs, automobile accidents, etc. Recommendation tabled.
VII. Old Business-Code enforcement case
A. Commercial Property Hedge. Property Management Company has been contacted concerning
ongoing maintenance of the hedge. They have been given six months to correct or replace the
hedge. They have cut the hedge back severely and are starting to maintain it.
B. Brazilian Pepper overgrowing golf path at NE corner of Forest Lakes on property of Forest
Lakes Golf and Tennis Club. The HOA has been contacted about removing the Pepper trees.
The Condos have been grandfathered in regard to invasive trees and it is all private property

A. A general discussion of the proposed removal of the oleanders and replacement was held.
