PUBLIC COMMENTS Name Tags At the suggestion of Robert Monico, 1065 Forest Lakes Drive, Mr. Schumacher will provide name tags for the Committee members. Drainage and Swale Maintenance Mr. Monico queried if in conjunction with renovation of the swimming pool, drainage water could be pumped away from Phase I Villas. Mr. Schumacher noted the pool contractor should be consulted to provide plans for drainage. The M.S.T.U. is only involved with maintenance of the Golf course swales and ensuring they are clear of debris weeds and aquatic vegetation. Homeowners are responsible for protecting their property from water intrusion. The county is conducting a"Gordon River Improvements Master Plan Scope of Services. " The Scope of Services is developing a master plan for stormwater improvements for the Gordon River Extension(GRE) in Collier County. The plan, which will include development of initiatives necessary to improve the flood protection levels of service for areas within the watershed such as Forest Lakes, may be beneficial to Forest Lakes' drainage problem. Sidewalks A previous investigation of the feasibility of sidewalks along Forest Lakes Drive determined space limitations do not permit installation. Roadway Speed Limits With the exception of a segment of Woodshire Lane, roadways within the Forest Lakes community are privately owned,thus limiting the jurisdiction of Collier County Traffic Ops and Sheriff's Office to mandate or enforce a 25 or 30 MPH speed limit. There is no Master Homeowners Association and multiple Associations would have to concur and sign off on a speed limit policy. The Advisory Committee discussed the applicable regulations in February 2017 and concluded not to enforce a community-wide policy. December 5, 2017 Forest Lakes MSTU 5/6 X.
