Mr. Duprey commented that pavers removed from homeowners' driveways (where sidewalk was installed) will be documented and saved at the PBSD maintenance facility for a year. Homeowners are welcome to take possession of their pavers. Mr. Duprey noted that the sidewalk on Lynnmore Lane is being removed and will be replaced with sod. Dr. Chicurel commented that Mr. Duprey has met one-on-one with property owners and that staff has done a great communication job with residents.

OTHER COMMITTEE COMMENTS Mr. Weir asked who is responsible for maintaining the landscaping around Oakmont Lake, which in several locations is encroaching over the sidewalk. Dr. Chicurel responded that the PBSD maintains the landscaping on PBF property on the east side of the lake. Mr. Mumm commented that where necessary, the PBF has sent letters to homeowners on the east side of the lake, requesting their landscaping be cut back. He noted that at times, the PBSD has trimmed landscaping, on private property, encroaching over the sidewalk. Ms. Hamilton commented on landscaping hanging over the sidewalk in several locations on Pelican Bay Blvd. Dr. Chicurel suggested that she inform Mr. Mumm of these areas so that he can request that the appropriate associations cut back the landscaping on their property in these areas of concern.
