District Engineer – Discussion on Dream Finders / Amelia Concourse Haul Road
Mr. Yuro stated that he is reviewing draft plans for the Amelia Concourse Phase 3 drainage that he expects to send to Dream Finders a few days following the meeting and then would send the plans to the county for approval.
Mr. Robinson suggested a few options including conditional approval of a 17-foot easement on the haul road trail. The three conditions that must be met is the Amelia Concourse CDD must enter into an annual cost share agreement with Amelia Walk CDD for drainage swale maintenance, Dream Finders must pay $500,000 to Amelia Walk for providing the easement, and all legal expenses incurred to Amelia Walk CDD related to this project must be paid by Amelia Concourse CDD. Option two would be a form rejection of the easement request by Dream Finders. Mr. Yuro recommended allowing the easement up to 17-feet, rather than just saying 17-
feet as there is a chance it could be reduced.
Mr. Cook asked that any other existing easements in the project area be confirmed by Dream Finders at their cost.

On MOTION by Mr. Cook seconded by Mr. Swan with all in favor authorizing an easement up to 17-feet on the haul road to Dream Finders Homes was approved subject to a payment of $500,000 to Amelia Walk CDD, all legal expenses being covered, and a cost share

agreement with Amelia Concourse CDD for annual drainage swale maintenance.

Mr. Yuro stated that he is still working on the Sagamore Court project. The contractor does not feel the project is worth doing in phases due to mobilization costs. If the nearby residents would be willing to agree to an easement to install a pipe, it would eliminate most of the issues with the roadway, would provide for one manhole in the grass strip behind the sidewalk, and would greatly reduce the cost of the project.
Mr. Cook suggested having Mr. Yuro investigate going from the area that collects the water northwest, across the driveways of the two houses into the conservation area on the far side. The Board directed Mr. Yuro to request additional proposals for review at the July meeting.
William Biello recommended also looking at a shallow well lift pump system as a permanent solution.
Mr. Cook stated that a Champlain homeowner has complained of dips in the pavement and driveway. He asked Mr. Yuro to inspect the area and report back.
Don DeCanio asked if Mr. Yuro had an update on the pothole that was repaired in the middle of a depression at 85515 Fall River Parkway.
Mr. Yuro stated that he would look into it.
Mr. Robinson asked Mr. Yuro to be very specific in the upcoming annual engineer’s report as it pertains to any depressions in the roadways and erosion on pond banks.

District Manager
Mr. Robinson stated that ducks and geese are destroying the grass and causing erosion issues. Residents feeding the wildlife are exacerbating the issue. He asked what can be done to deter the geese and to deter residents from feeding the wildlife.
Ms. Henley responded if the person feeding the wildlife can be identified, a letter can be sent to residents bordering the ponds warning them not to feed the wildlife and the costs of erosion repair can be passed onto the person feeding the geese in the area.
William Biello recommended prohibiting fishing in the community to help with the gator
issue.
The Board directed staff to bring a quote from Goose Masters back to the next meeting for
consideration.
