B. Status Report
1. Swales Re -Survey
The resurvey to verify changes to the swales and determine if action to remedy is prudent has
begun. Agnoli, Barber & Brundage (ABB) have plotted two (2) swales. ABB's survey manager
noted two (2) variables have slowed the process:
• Moderate to heavy rain produces a negative effect.
• Overcast weather impedes GPS signal clarity and accurate measurements cannot be
obtained.
Mr. Schumacher will inform ABB of the golf course's seasonal closures to assist the firm in
scheduling work without interference from golf play activity.
2. Lake #9 Wall Repair
Three engineering companies were interviewed to provide an evaluation of the wooden
retaining wall re -construction project on Lake 9.
Mr. Schumacher has been working with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. who will provide a
"Scope of Service" for the following tasks:
A. Evaluation of the failure of the existing wall.
B. Design of a replacement wall with an "Opinion of Cost" for two construction methods
➢ A wooden vertical wall similar to the original.
➢ Continuation of rip rap around the impacted segment.
C. Evaluation and life expectancy prediction of three (3) additional lakes with wooden
retainer walls.
A proposal for task A is anticipated week ending July 11, 2021. The project will go out to bid
T
upon completion of the design phase.

3. Forest Lakes Blvd (FLB) Pump Station & Camelia Ln Swale
Mader Electric's electrical sub -contractor completed repairs to the electrical cabinet and the o
pump is up and running.
• Installation of an alarm bell to sound if the system fails, including a "silence" button to
actuate manually.
Installation of an annunciator on top of the control enclosure to flash red if pump fails
Manual start-up of pump resulted in a thirty-six (36) hour run cycle, after which the
sub -contractor adjusted the float levels to actuate at a higher water level.
The pump is functioning, and stormwater flows down the swale as planned.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Sidewalk on Forest Lakes Drive -- Proposed
1. Patrick Bernal Survey Data
Mr. Bernal presented consolidated results of his Walkway Survey emailed to 250 of the 352
FLCA owners between November 30 and December 2, 2020.
A breakdown of the 178 resident responses:
0 Safety: 75% of respondents voted "likely or very likely" a sidewalk will make the
community safer.

• Enjoyment: 57% of the respondents voted "likely or very likely" a sidewalk will add
to their enjoyment.
• Property Value Increase: 55% of the respondents voted "likely or very likely"
property values will increase.
• Beautification: 66% of the respondents voted "likely or very likely" a walkway will
enhance beautification of the landscape.
A second membership vote on May 25, 2021, requesting an opinion of support or non-support
for a feasibility study on the sidewalk yielded opposition to the walkway. However, five (5) of
the nine (9) board members voted in support of the walkway feasibility study. Opposition
concerns included:
• Cost - Study cost is estimated in the $20,000.00 range and may have led to the
negative votes.
Landscape damage (one (1) Pygmy Palm would be removed on the proposed route).
Privacy issue for Phase IV residents.
Mr. Bernal distributed a proposed pathway route comprised of sections A, B and C and
suggested the M.S.T.U. consider a modification or a "limited sidewalk" proposal for section
"A" that is located totally within the existing access easement along Forest Lakes Drive.
2. County Attorney's Office — Easement Opinion

entity would be authorized to grant casements for the six (6) condominium associations.

possesses authority to grant permanent easements (the Master Association or individual
