B. Update on Easements—Quail Run Golf Club
Ms. Zimmerman, Real Property Management, Collier County, updated the Committee on the
status of easements between Forest Lakes and the Quail Run Golf Club noting:
1
• Two years ago the County was asked to prepare easement documents for various locations
within Forest Lakes to accommodate work being done by the MSTU for the benefit of the
community.
• Two easements were executed for specific areas within the Quail Run Golf Course:
1. An entrance area easement.
2. An easement for golf course swales and culverts.
• The easements include a legal description for the golf course boundary. The limiting
language specifies the area is limited to fifty feet outside the border of the property together
with each swale and culvert crossing.
• The new proposed easement is for Golf Course lakes and ponds to enable the MSTU to do
work on drainage. Lakes and ponds are not included in prior easements.
• The proposed easement includes one change from the original easements. Quail Run Golf
Club has entered into a mortgage on parts of their property so the new documents include a
package which must be executed by the lender. The lender is aware and agrees to the
easement requirements. The proposed easement is identical to the two original easements
(which remain in effect) except for the lender's subordination clause and the legal reference
specific to "lakes and ponds."
• The package has been delivered to Doug Burnham and one Board member.
During Committee discussion the following was noted:
• The President and Vice President of the Quail Run Golf Club have requested a meeting
with Ms. Arnold and Staff for informational purposes. Ms. Zimmerman volunteered to
participate.
• Ms. Arnold has a map which outlines the fifty foot easement around the boundary of the
golf course.
• The easement will revert back to the property owner upon sunset or dissolution of the
MSTU.
• The Association President or Vice President or an individual delegated by the Quail Run
Golf Club Board of Directors is authorized to sign the easement document. The Board
appointed signature delegate must be reflected in the minutes.
Ms.Arnold will schedule a meeting among the parties involved in the easement decision and
execution.
MiraVista Condominium
Mr. Stemples requested the MSTU address "inflow"into Lake 16 and correct the MiraVista
Condominium's property flooding issue stating the MSTU created the problem when construction
altered the swale. He signed documents to allow equipment on the Condominiums private
property to upgrade the swale.
Ms. Zimmerman reported a search of Collier County public records failed to reveal an easement
for the MiraVista Condominium. A Title Search would clarify if something was recorded under
another name. Work on this property would require title work and an easement would be
prepared.
During Committee discussion the following was noted:
• An easement is required to perform work on private property.
2
• The MSTU does not have authority and is not responsible to perform services for the
MiraVista Condominium Association at this time.
Ms.Arnold reported the mission of the MSTU is to address drainage for the common areas of the
community. Each individual association is responsible for drainage on their private property.
Ms.Arnold and Staff will investigate construction history and bring the plans to a future meeting
for the Committee to review and identify if work was done on the MiraVista swales.
Mr. Stemples requested installation of sidewalks and street lights for the MiraVista Condominium.
Ms.Arnold reported an analysis was completed by an engineer and his findings indicated
insufficient space to meet code width requirements and the project was costly. She noted
proposals for future projects would be considered in 2022 on payoff of the Bond issue.
