Plans to repair and replace the perimeter damage are proceeding. Eagle Fence will repair or replace the damaged sections of the chainlink fencing along the Belle Lago side and repair the gate on the San Carlos side. Repairs to the fence along the Westside and Northside cannot begin until FPL has completed its pole replacements.
The Landscape Committee met with Heatherwood Construction to assess the viability of a wall on the Westside and Northside. Upon a review of the project requirements by their engineering staff, Heatherwood will prepare a rough estimate of the total project cost. The committee will present this estimate along with the other options and their costs along with the committee's recommendation to the residents and the Board for review and discussion.
This is a large and complex project regardless of the option selected. In addition to engineering and permitting, it includes irrigation repairs, removal of the damaged wall and the existing hedge as well as some trees, grading and the construction of wall or planting of a new hedge. The wall type being considered is precast concrete with an embossed design and impregnated color similar to what you might see along the highway. These walls can be cast to look like a stone wall or a wood fence.
The hedge repair and replacement option is very expensive as well and also comes with costly long term maintenance cost for trimming, fertilizing ,spraying, and irrigation.
It is the committee's plan to get resident input by send residents a survey that will include the options and their costs. While this will not be a resident vote, community input will be an important part of the Board's decision. When you receive the survey please respond quickly so that your preference will be considered.
