Request for Action by Board I bring the following items to your attention for action by our Board: l .Fence in disrepair at north entrance to Boca Highlands -there is a chain link fence running west from the north entrance to Boca Highlands toward Grand Cay which then turns north to the Boca Highlands tennis courts which is visible from AlA. This fence has been in disrepair for months if not years and is an eyesore which needs replacement. I do not know if Boca Highlands or Mrs. Milani (I am told she owns the vacant lot) is responsible for the fence, but whoever is should be made to take action. 2. Water on AlA due to over watering byhomeowners -water puddles on the east side of AlA from homeowner watering on numerous properties but is especially bad in front of two properties A. 3425 North Ocean Blvd -across from the northern edge of the Catholic Church parking lot B. 2435 to 2445 North Ocean Blvd. -large homes at the northern end of town. These puddles (often large) are most often gone by noon (evaporation and drainage) but in the early morning cause northbound traffic -both vehicles and bicycles- to veer into the southbound lanes. This causes an unsightly mess and a dangerous situation which needs to be corrected. Simple solution -reduce the watering amounts. These same areas flood during heavy rains but the only solution for those times is re-grading of the road and drainage ditches on the right-of -way. Mother Nature is beyond our purview but homeowner watering should be corrected. ~, ~- PA SNICK Member Copy: Robert Dawson, Building Official ~~~~ .. ~~ - ~~~~ y~~~ ~~~~~
