Richard Ramirez, Cutler Bay Town Counsel, and Rafael Casals, Town Manager mentioned that there is a new free transportation service called Go Connect. Also, they informed the board and owners that attended the meeting, that several projects were approved: Southplace City Center, Transit Village, Town Hall & Legacy Park, The Crossings, and The Contemporary. Alfredo Quintero mentioned that the sidewalk repairs to the community would start on March 6th.
Michelle Steele mentioned that 27 dead grass and 26 landscape violation notices were sent. Michelle Steele mentioned that she had discussed with the Property Manager that a flyer should be sent out to the HOA reminding owners of the landscape guidelines and that it is the responsibility of the residents to keep their landscape well maintained.
Michelle Steele mentioned that maybe the landscaping guidelines need to be reviewed and updated. Also, to discuss if artificial turf could be added to the landscape guidelines since most owners’ dead grass is due to the mature trees providing too much shade.
An owner received a violation to pressure clean their roof and they emailed Property Manager stating the following: A couple of years ago, I had an insurance claim for roof damage from the last hurricane. The insurance did not want to compensate me for the roof damage. They claimed that because I had my roof cleaned twice already, the damage may have been from the roof cleaning. Therefore, my claim was denied. My attorney then advised that we should try one more time and if the insurance does not compensate me because of the roof that I had done prior to the roof claim from the hurricane then I can sue my association for the claim against my roof because they felt that the damage was not from the hurricane, but from me washing my roof. The board mentioned sending it to the HOA legal counsel for advice.
