1. Request to Speak from Mike DeGeorge, President and Sherri Davis, <br /> --Vice- -Presid-ent, Trillium Homeowner's Association 144-146 <br /> ---- - ------- ---------------- <br /> ------ ------------------------------------------------------ <br /> Trillium Homeowner's Association (HOA) President Mike <br /> DeGeorge and Vice President Sherri Davis used a PowerPoint <br /> presentation to communicate their concerns over the <br /> landscaping and irrigation damage they said occurred from the <br /> 66th Avenue widening project. They elaborated on the damage <br /> to the plants in their landscaping beds along 66th Avenue from <br /> lack of water, heavy equipment, and their landscaping company <br /> being restricted from the construction zone, which resulted in <br /> damages of about$14,446. <br /> Administrator Joseph Baird and Director Mora reiterated the <br /> County's policy that if vegetation or irrigation is put on the <br /> County's right-of-way, the County is not responsible for the <br /> damage, if work needs to be done in that area. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding the right-of-way between the <br /> HOA's wall and the sidewalk; and the need to obtain a permit <br /> for any work within the right-of-way. <br /> Commissioner O'Bryan supported the County's Policy and <br /> reasoned that the sidewalk delineates public from private <br /> property even though the right-of-way goes to the wall. <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br /> SECONDED by Vice Chairman Solari, to approve the <br /> replacement of the dead plants in the bed that is west of the <br /> sidewalk (between 26th and 33rd Streets and up to the wall), and <br /> authorize staff to issue the permit so the HOA could reestablish <br /> irrigation in the right-of-way at their own risk. <br /> Mr. DeGeorge felt the policy should had been explained better <br /> and believed they should receive compensation. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the original design <br /> standards; safety issues; and the cost estimate of the damage. <br /> MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to <br /> replace any dead plants in beds that are west of the sidewalk <br /> and up to the wall (between 26th and 33" Streets). Motion <br /> DIED for lack of a SECOND. <br /> MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br /> SECONDED by Vice Chairman Solari, to TABLE this item; <br /> direct staff to walk the sidewalk and identify the damage to the <br /> landscaping beds west of the sidewalk up to the wall; and return <br /> to the Board with accurate estimates. <br /> Board of County Commission Minutes Page 10 <br /> January 20,2015 <br />
