2. Email from R. Scully, 12/01/08 Catalina Oaks Homeowners Association response

Dear Mr. Ottoson,

In general your letter noted the following:

Item 1 – A breach in the retention berm, which needs to be corrected in 30 days (12/10/08) from receipt of the letter.

Item 2 - This relates to storm water runoff, infiltration and an annual inspection of the 100 linear-feet of drain field (Reference Permit 42-061-40167-1).

Item 3 - This covers rear lot swales It states that the Homeowners Association is responsible to ensure these retention areas remain clear of debris, excess fill or structures that could potentially block the flow of storm water runoff and reduce the retention volume.
**********************************************************************
Our follow up response to your letter is as follows.

Item 1 - The attached photo is the picture of the mound of dirt, which has filled the breach. By next week 12/17/08 we should have the sod over the dirt.

Item 2 - This was closed out by the attachment to our first email.

Item 3 - We understand it is our responsibility to spread the word in the subdivision and we do. Note - The owner of the structure shown in your picture has removed numerous railroad ties. I noticed them on his front yard last week. I have not spoken with David Hayes so I am not aware of what agreements were made between the parties, but action is being taken. I left a message on David’s answering machine but we have not connected as of yet.

Please feel free to call me at 772-933-1173 if you have further questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Robert Scully

Mr. Scully,

In response to your questions:

1. The type of soil/fill is not really that important for the repair of the breach. If you were replacing soils in the bottom of the retention pond, I’d recommend clean sands (with good drainage characteristics); however, the breach is not really required to have clean sandy soils. Any soils—other than clays or muck—is fine. Once you have placed down the soil, it is recommended that you sod the areas as soon as possible.

2. David Hays can be reached at Ph. 772-226-1596

3. I will FW your emails to the appropriate District staff.

Thanks for the update and please follow-up again once the breach has been repaired.

-Nathan

St. Johns River Water Management District site inspection

A letter( included with photos)dated 11/10/08 sent from St. Johns River Water Management District, stated they did a site inspection of our subdivision in response to concerns associated with the stormwater management system as Indian River County recently notified the district of numerous concerns. The included data is for your information. The empasis is related to the 25-foot rear lot swales, and encrochments, to said swales, on the north and south side of the entire subdivision. As a result they have identified 3 specific items that need to be addressed and want us to notify them of our plans in writing in a timely manner.

Item 1 - This needs to be corrected in 30 days from receipt of the letter and then notify the District. It pertains to a breach in the retention berm which looks like an easy fix.
Item 2 - This relates to stormwater runoff, infiltration and an annual inspection of the 100 linear-feet of drainfield. They are recommending we hire a company to inspect and forward results to them.
Item 3 - This covers rear lot swales. It states that the Homeowners Association is responsible to ensure these retention areas remain clear of debree, excess fill or structures that could potentially block the flow of stormwater runoff and reduce the retention volume. So as a reminder ...."NO permanent sructures are allowed" in the swales on the north and south side of the subdivision.

HOA REFORM SURVEY 2008 Data

From: Jan CCFJ [mailto:jan@ccfj.net]

To: Jan CCFJ
Subject: HOA REFORM SURVEY 2008

Dear Florida Homeowner,

CCFJ, Inc. is proud to publish the first Florida survey dealing with issues of homeowners' association legislative reform. It is the first survey of this kind where responses were publicly solicited via media, not by just contacting special interest groups.

We tabulated 1,033 valid responses and here are results and analyses:

Detailed Survey: http://www.ccfj.net/CCFJHOASURVEYCOMPLETERES.html

Summary and Comments: http://www.ccfj.net/CCFJHOASURVEY.html

I would like to thank you all again for submitting your survey responses. Your help is very much appreciated. Without your help it wouldn't have been possible to create such an informative survey.

We received responses from all over Florida -- and the answers are similar. Everybody seems to be in total agreement. The conclusion: Florida Statutes 720 need a serious legislative overhaul -- and Florida HOAs need a regulatory agency with strong enforcement power.

Please note:

Question No. 4: ACCOUNTABILITY OF DIRECTORS received the highest priority rating with 96.9% affirmative votes. The many comments explained why!

Please read the results and analyses of the survey carefully -- it's interesting reading when you consider what we always have been told by special interest groups! This survey clearly shows how Florida's citizens really feel!

We hope that our elected officials TAKE NOTE!

If you have any questions specific to the survey, please contact David I. Goldenberg, Ph.D., who analyzed the survey data, at: dave@ccfj.net .

Thank you again for your help with our project!

And now please help to make our legislators understand that we really mean business. A big HOA reform bill will be filed by State Representative Julio Robaina and Senator Alex Villalobos. But they need all our help to push this bill through Florida's legislature.

Take care,

Jan

Keeping an Eye Out

I know the NEWS is talking about Hurricane IKE and I know most of you know, as I see the Hurricane Panels, Shutters and other window treatments up and down our street.

Please also note that the areas on both sides of the community entrance at the mailbox area were recently weeded and cleaned up.

Also note that its seems someone took a liking to our recently planted "Snow on the Mountain" and removed these plantings from our corner at 10th and 6 Ave. So...please keep and eye out for your property as well as that of others.

Bill Calculator

Thanks to Glenn Heran who is preparing a bill calculator for four of the six types of jurisdictional/service provider calculations that are needed to compare electric bills in the County, City, and Shores where electric service is provided by either the City or FPL. You will be able to enter the Kilowatt Hours (KWH) used from your current bill into the format appropriate for the jurisdiction and/or service provider and get the cost including taxes, etc. This will give you the ability to compare your costs as though you had a different service provider and/or lived in a different jurisdiction. It will show true comparability, not the biased comparisons from the City.

When Glenn completes this, it will be put on the website. What is needed for to complete the final calculations are a couple of volunteers from the Shores with City electric and with FPL electric to provide a couple of recent electric bills to Glenn so he can complete the calculation schedules. Please contact him at 772-473-7629 if you would be willing to provide such copies.

Catalina Oaks Reference Documents

The data was downloaded and posted. It took up a lot of room on this page so I generated another blog spot with just this data. The link is posted to the right above "The Community". It should take you to the document titled..........Catalina Oaks Reference Documents, which contain - 1. Bylaws, 2. Deed Restrictions, 3. Ammendment letter and 4. Ammended and Restated........

Document Retention (Record Storage)

The records compiled over the years by Gaylord have been transfered to Dick. This data is kept in a few small plastic file boxes and is extremely well organized. Thanks Gaylord.

This data will be kept at Dicks for the time being.

EMAIL and this BLOGSPOT

Email - If you are reading this then you have an email address that I know about and thus you are getting this note. We have 52 homeowners and I have 20 email addresses. I would like all 52 so I can just post them to this blog and when it gets updated you get a system note automatically,to come see whats been posted.

The auto system notification is not turned on yet. My understanding is that when I add the email list I have to the blog and check a box then it will happen. So send me your email and talk to your neighbor and see if they know about the blog. If they don't clue them in and see if the would like to participate.

BLOGSPOT - There is a feature inside the software that allows for this to be a private place, public place or a semiprivate place. In other words only available for viewing by the residents. At the moment it is available to the general public for viewing, as I checked that button, when I generated this blogspot, because its easier for me. It can be changed if the majority of the homeowners prefer it PRIVATE. Let us know.

My back surgery was scheduled for August 11 when they called with a cancellation for July 10th. Which gave me little time to obtain the exray, two mri, ekg and consent from my primary Doctor. Been to busy to even think of an agenda for the July 26th meeting. I am having three herniated disks cleaned up and hopefully that will cure most of my pain from the back and down both legs. One or all of you must set up the agenda for the meeting. Thanks Gaylord

Meeting Minutes April 26, 2008
Catalina Oaks Homeowners Association Board of Directors

The minutes summarize items addressed and actions taken by the board at the meeting. If you would like more detail please contact any member of the board and consider attending the next meeting. Ten homeowners attended this meeting.

Board President, Ms. Elaine Florence, called the meeting, held at the Rock Ridge Community Center, to order at 10:00. Additional board members present Mr. Gaylord Hansen, Mr. Dick Byram and Mr. Bob Scully. Not in attendance were Mrs. Jean Kay and Mrs. Shirley Spitzer.

Elaine mentioned that Mrs. Shirley Spitzer has resigned from the board and then she read the meeting minutes from the 1-12-2008 meeting. Prior to doing so she requested that all comments and questions be held until the board agenda, dated 4/26/2008, was covered.

The agenda had 14 items that were discussed during the meeting. Items 4, 5 and 9 were tabled because Jean was not in attendance and they were her specific items to address. Elaine will get with Jean to get the data to close out those line items.

Item # 1 - Dick is working at odd jobs around Catalina Oaks and that is fine as long as the board members agree.

Item # 2 - Two members of the board must sign off on all association business.

Item # 3 - Association Liability Insurance – It was noted that an association like ours should have at least $2,000,000 coverage, as a minimum. A comment was made suggesting it would be better to have $5,000,000, depending on what the association could afford. A question was raised about the homeowner liability if the association insurance was inadequate and did not cover a potential claim. Gaylord will have further discussion with legal on the subject, as the board could not answer the question at the meeting.

Item # 4 - Association Finances – Tabled

Item # 5 - Monthly assessment delinquencies – Tabled

Item # 6 - Association Governing Documents – Improvements and modifications - All members must abide by the association governing documents when it comes to improvements and modifications to homes in the community. If you decide to make a change to the paint color of your house, add a new roof, etc., the information must be presented to the Architectural Review Board for approval prior to any work starting.

Home Sales - It was noted that some NEW homeowners in the community had not received any information about the Catalina Oaks Deed Restrictions at the time of sale. Individuals who are selling or plan to sell their house must provide a package (Deed Restrictions) to the real estate agent and new potential buyers prior to the home sale. This package is available from Gaylord. If this package is not provided the buyer may be able to cancel the contract without penalty at anytime.

Item # 7 - Common Ground Maintenance - Dick will coordinate this action with Eddie and get him to continue with the once a week cleanup in Catalina Oaks for $450 a month.

Item # 8 - High Electric Bills – Gaylord mentioned that there was some press recently that may impact the high electric bills we are getting.

Item # 9 - HOA Officers 2008 – It was noted that the board must file the 2008 Catalina Oaks Board members with the Secretary of State of Florida. Elaine will get with Jean to see if that has been done.

Item # 10 - DuHaime Wood Structure – The structure is on county property.

Item # 11 - Wall Extension – Consideration was being given to continuing the fence along the south and east property line. Cost input was obtained. A chain link fence was estimated at $6000. A styrofoam look-a-like wall that would mimic the existing cinderblock wall would cost $60,000. Gaylord noted that a chain link fence is not acceptable per the bylaws. The cost of extending the wall is not justified and no further action is being considered.

Item # 12 - Solar Light Switches – Dick will replace the switches for the light fixtures at the entrance of the community (southwest corner at 6th Avenue).

Item # 13 - Parking on the Grass – The grassy area next to the mailboxes is being used for parking by some while getting mail, which is killing the grass and causing ruts. Bob will place NO Parking signs to see if that will eliminate the problem. It was also mentioned that some residents park on the street next to the mail box, which impedes traffic flow, and some leave the car door open while they get mail. These are potential accidents and should be avoided for your safety as well as those who are coming and going.

Item # 14 - Standing Water (Southside of lot 11) – Not sure what can be done but Gaylord will look into this further.

The “Deed Restricted” sign needs attention, some road repair work is needed to the asphalt and the entry garden needs some care. Dick will coordinate this activity and get with Uta, who expressed and interest in sprucing up the Entrance Garden.

Some residents did not receive minutes for the last meeting.

As the board continues to use unlicensed and uninsured workers what is the homeowner’s liability in the event of a suit (ref. item 3). Gaylord will respond.
