Amenity / Operations Manager – Report
Mr. Soriano stated that the speed humps appear to be working. He noted he would be asking the engineer about a speed hump that is sitting lower than the others and will get some additional signage installed.

Next, the Board discussed needing to get a process in place to approve driveway modifications as the CDD has a right of way and easement in front of the driveways and Mr. Soriano wants to ensure residents are aware if the CDD needs to remove any portion of the driveway in the easement, the resident would be responsible for paying for any repairs necessary to return the driveway to its previous condition.
