The Village removed the debris piles last week and will do so again in a few weeks. Most of the loose debris had been collected and consolidated in the cut-de-sacs.
Nearly every tree on the property sustained some damage and will need to be trimmed. This will begin next week and continue for several weeks. Please be careful and watch for lift trucks and landscape crews in the roadway.
The hedge around the perimeter sustained substantial damage. A preliminary assessment of the sections that can be saved has been made.
The clusia on the East side was blown over but has been staked up and is expected to make a full recovery. These shrubs are still young and the soil mostly sand, with age their root structure will be better able to withstand hurricane force winds.
Most of the ficus hedge will need replacement. The ficus sections along the East side of Vintage Trace, the section from the main gate southward to the first turn and sections under the trees east of the clubhouse are not salvageable. These will be replaced as soon as material and labor are available, an immense task that will take several months.
The remaining hedge sections will be reduced in height by 30 to 40 percent to facilitate recovery.
In addition to the damage to the hedge, the fence behind the hedge was crushed by falling trees and in some places blown over. Work is being done to remove all the debris so an assessment of the damage and repairs can be made.
Pegasus has been searching for a company to repair the wall to the north of the main gate but as yet has received no quotes.
Please be patient, recovery will take time.
