Discussion Regarding Lake Tract Ownership
Page 1 of 3

Ms. Nguyen explained that this item was added at the request of Ms. Canchola.

Ms. Canchola explained that while reviewing the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc. (the “Master”) it was noted that the maintenance responsibility for the District lakes and lake banks falls under the purview of the Master or the individual Homeowners Associations. She further explained that the maintenance responsibility of the lakes and lake banks of the other Community Development Districts that are part of the Master fall under the individual Community Development Districts. Ms. Canchola asked if it was possible to convey the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the District lakes and lake banks from the Master or Homeowners Associations to the District.

Mr. George explained that it is possible, but both the current owner and the District would need to agree on the transfers. Ms. Canchola explained that there is a belief that there may be signs of erosion on some of the lake banks. Ms. Canchola further explained that the District has better funding options and a better means of collection than the individual Homeowners Associations. The Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) discussed the benefits of having the District assume the maintenance responsibilities of the lake banks in particular.

The Board requested that Mr. George to gather information on the lake and lake bank ownership and provide the information to the District for further review. Mr. George acknowledged the Board’s request and stated that he will provide further information on this item during the next District meeting.

A motion was made by Mr. De Cardenas, seconded by Mr. Zapata and unanimously passed appointing Ms. Elizabeth Canchola as the Islands at Doral (SW) Community Development District liaison for matters regarding the lakes and lake bank ownership and transfer of ownership.
2024 Legislative Session Memorandums (BCLMR)
Ms. Nguyen explained that District Counsel has prepared a memorandum summarizing the legislative acts that have become law during the most recent legislative session. Mr. George provided the Board an explanation of the laws that pertain to the District. Mr. George informed the Board that if they have any questions regarding these new laws, they may contact the District Manager or his office.

Re: Year 2024 Islands at Doral (SW) CDD Report

Dear Ms. Nguyen:
The intent of this report is fourfold: 1) To inform as to the status of ownership of the infrastructure that was financed or constructed by Islands at Doral (SW) Community Development District (the “District” or “CDD”); 2) To describe the state, working order and condition of the infrastructure still owned by the District; 3) To give recommendations as to the funds estimated necessary for the proper maintenance, repair and operation of the District’s infrastructure and; 4) To report on the insurance being carried by the District. This report aims to comply with the requirements of Article IX, Sections
9.22 and 9.15 of the Trust Indenture between Islands at Doral (SW) Community Development District and Wachovia Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) dated August 1, 2003.

The District is located in Section 7, Township 53S, Range 40E, in Miami-Dade County. It is bounded by NW 117 Avenue on the west, NW 80 Terrace on the north, NW 112 Avenue on the east, and NW 74 Street and NW 76 Street on the south.

Infrastructure Ownership
Roads
Within the boundaries of the District, NW 114 Avenue and the roads located to the east of NW 114 Avenue, were financed by the District. The roads west of NW 114 Avenue are private roads that were not financed by the District. The roads east of NW 114 Avenue are owned by the City in the northern section of the community (north of the lake), and by the CDD in the south (south of the lake). Refer to Exhibit 2 for the location of the CDD-owned roads.

The right-of-ways for the roads were dedicated for ownership as follows:
City Roads: The roads and right-of-way within the District for NW 112 Avenue, NW 112 Place, NW 113 Avenue, NW 113 Place, NW 114 Avenue, NW 74 Street, NW 77 Terrace, NW 78 Street, NW 78 Lane and NW 79 Lane were dedicated to the City of Doral for the perpetual use of the public. This was accomplished by the recording of the following plats:

“Doral Isles North Section One” Recorded on March 4, 2004 in Miami Dade County Plat Book 161, Page 57.

“Doral Isles North Section Two” Recorded on March 5, 2004 in Miami Dade County Plat Book 161, Page 58.

CDD Roads: The road improvements that belong to the District are within an ingress and egress tract (Tract L of Doral Isles North Section One). Such tract is owned by Polynesian at Islands at Doral Neighborhood Association, Inc. (see Exhibit 2). This tract was conveyed to the Polynesian at Islands at Doral Neighborhood Association, Inc. by Quit Claim Deeds recorded at ORB 24679, PG 1666 on June 29, 2006 and ORB 24835, PG
1949 on August 18, 2006. The Folio Number given is 35-3007-002-2670. The deeds include easements for maintenance by government agencies and successors and assigns of the Developer.

The private, non-CDD roads west of NW 114 Avenue have been deeded as follows:

Islands at Doral Neighborhood Association, Inc. (Folio No 35-3007-003-4020) conveyed by Corrective Quitclaim Deed recorded at ORB 24796, PG 2668 on August 7, 2006, which includes an easement for maintenance.

Netherlands Neighborhood Association Inc. (Folio No 35-3007-003-4021) conveyed by Corrective Quit Claim Deed at ORB 25290, PG 4238 on January 19, 2007, which includes an easement for maintenance.

The entrance at NW 74 Street and NW 113 Court was closed due to Right of Way taking by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Miami-Dade County for the construction of a noise wall relating to the construction of the interchange at NW 74 Street and the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike (State Road 821). The CDD and the FDOT came to a mutually agreed settlement arrangement and entered into a Settlement Agreement to effectuate the construction of the wall as well as the drainage and open space modifications due to the closing. Construction of the wall and closure of the street were completed.

The District Board, through the approval of a “Soft Gate” License Agreement with the Polynesian at Islands at Doral Neighborhood Association, Inc. authorized a plan to control traffic within the CDD roads by installing soft gates at the NW 114 Avenue entrances to the CDD roads at NW 77 Lane and NW 75 Lane and modifying the intersections at NW 112 Avenue and NW 74 Terrace, NW 75 Terrace and NW 75 Lanes into one-way exits only. The soft gates and traffic control plan were completed.
Stormwater Management System
The road system within City roads was dedicated to the City of Doral for the perpetual use of the public by the recording of the plats described above and by the acceptance of the improvements by the City.

The road drainage improvements within the ingress and egress tracts located east and west of NW 114 Avenue, and as described in the Engineer’s Report of 5/14/2003, are owned by the District. (See Exhibits 1 and 2). The Quit Claim Deeds include easements for drainage.

The lake improvements throughout the District, and as described in the Engineer’s Report of 5/14/2003, are owned by the CDD. The lake tracts were dedicated to the Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc. by Quit Claim Deeds recorded at ORB 24679, Page 1445 on June 29, 2006 (Folio No 35-3007-003-4022, Tracts R, S, T and U) and ORB 24679, Page 1378 (Folio No 35-3007-002-2651, Tracts B, C and D). The deeds provide for drainage easements. (See Exhibits 1 and 2).

Several tracts of green areas, including swales and lake slopes (Folio No. 35-3007-002- 2650), were dedicated to the Galapagos at Islands at Doral Neighborhood Association, Inc. by the Quit Claim Deed recorded at ORB 24679, Pages 1708-1710, including an easement for drainage. Other green areas, including swale and lake slopes, are included in Tract L, Folio No 35-3007-002-2670, which, as discussed above, were conveyed with a maintenance easement to the Polynesian at Islands at Doral Neighborhood Association, Inc.

Water and Sewer Systems
The water and sewer systems are owned and maintained by Miami-Dade County under Agreement No. 17675.

State, Working Order and Condition of the Infrastructure Owned by the District
Alvarez Engineers, Inc. conducted a field inspection to determine the current state, working order and condition of the infrastructure owned by the District and reports the following regarding the CDD Roads and drainage system:
Roads
The CDD roads are generally in good working order and condition with minimum cracks around sewer manholes. The pavement markings are in good condition in the Polynesian, Galapagos and Netherlands subdivisions but present some deterioration in several areas of the Winward subdivision. It is recommended to renovate pavement markings with new thermoplastic and reflective pavement markers, so the end of the markings service life will be in line with the end of the asphalt service life.

Stormwater Management System
The system appears to be in good physical state, working order and condition. The District Engineer has not received any flooding complaints. The lakes are in good working order and condition.

Maintenance of the drainage system within the City of Doral right of ways may be requested at the City of Doral Public Works Department telephone phone number: 305-593-6740.
Water and Sewer Systems
The systems appear to be in good working order and condition. Future issues may be reported to the County at either of the following numbers: 305-274-9272 (Emergencies) or 305-665- 7477 (Customer Service).

Estimated Maintenance Costs for District-Owned Infrastructure
General
The CDD 2024-2025 proposed Fiscal Year budget has the following amounts for maintenance expenditures:

2024-2025 Proposed Budget for Maintenance	
Engineering Report/Inspections	$2,000	
Storm Drain Inlet Maintenance	$13,000	
Street/Roadway Maintenance - Polynesian Subdivision	$4,200	
Miscellaneous General Maintenance	$2,650	
Miscellaneous Stormwater System Maintenance	$8,100	
Total	$29,950	

For more detailed information on the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year Budget please visit the District’s website at the following link:
http://islandsdoralswcdd.org/financials/
Alvarez Engineers recommends considering the following suggestions for maintenance budgets:

District Roads
Funds will be needed to replace the wearing roadway asphalt layer in about 9 years when the asphalt has reached its estimated 30-year service life. Funds will also be needed to update signs and markings on the roadways when asphalt is replaced and subsequently restored approximately every 10 years. The District Board of Supervisors may decide whether to create a sinking fund to finance the future capital expense over the next 9 years or to pay a lump sum amount at the end of the asphalt service life. The table below provides the estimated future replacement cost and the estimated annual contributions over the remaining service life to fund the expense. The calculations below assume an annual interest rate of 0.25%.

Stormwater Drainage System
The following is a suggested 5-year cyclical program for servicing the inlets, manholes, pipes and French drains of the drainage system for which the CDD is responsible. The program consists of servicing 20% of the system every year so that at the end of the fifth year, 100% of the system will have been serviced. The table below shows the estimated amount that would need to be budgeted yearly to service the 211 drainage structures and 15,273 Linear Feet of pipes that the District is responsible for. The program may be financed yearly or in one lump sum when needed, at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors.

Master Stormwater Management System (Lakes).
In accordance with Special Condition 2 of SFWMD Permit No. 13-01931-P, the Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc. will continue the operation and maintenance of the lakes under their budget. It is recommended that CDD Management coordinates with the Association to ensure that CDD improvements are properly maintained and that enough funds are allocated in the Association’s budget for that purpose.

Water and Sewer Systems
The water and sewer systems are maintained, operated and funded by WASD, which may be contacted at 305-274-9272 (for emergencies) or at 305-665-7477 (for customer service).

Insurance.
The District currently carries insurance for General Liability, Hired Non-Owned Auto, Employment Practices Liability and Public Officials Liability coverage under policy number 100123039, administered by Florida Insurance Alliance, for the period between October 1, 2023 and October 1, 2024. The District has budgeted enough funds to cover the $6,594 annual premium of the policy.

This report was prepared to the best of my knowledge and belief and is based on field observations conducted by Alvarez Engineers’ personnel, the District Engineer’s Report, and public documents available.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 305-640-1345 or at Juan.Alvarez@Alvarezeng.com.

Good afternoon Board,
Please see below correspondence from Gabriela of the South Florida Water Management District. She has requested some information regarding land the Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc. has control over, was never transferred to an operating entity and is still in the original developer’s name. Please assist in any guidance/knowledge to assist Gabriela complete and close out this ticket.
I look forward to hearing back!

You don't often get email from gamunoz@sfwmd.gov. Learn why this is important

Hi John,
I have attached both the original permit (010925-8_Permit_120581) and the modiﬁcation (040915_Permit_112053) for your review. The original permit shows the whole permitted area.
Please see the screenshot for the Property Appraisers website. If you click on the lake, you can see the owner of it is the Islands at Doral III CDD. Essentially, we would just like to conﬁrm these CDDs within the permitted area maintain their Stormwater management system so they can all be included as Operating Entities alongside the Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc., in the permit transfer.

For reference, the stormwater management systems include the swales, storm drains, etc. that move stormwater into the lakes in the neighborhood.

Regarding the Conservation Easement (CE) highlighted in yellow below, the owner is listed as Section 7 Association, Inc. Is the Master Association in charge of maintaining this CE? If so, is there a reason the Master Association does not own it?
<image004.png>
Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding this. Once we have a clear idea of who to include in the request for permit transfer letter, we will be able to move forward.

Sincerely,

Good afternoon Mr. Giancola,

My name is Gabriela Munoz with the South Florida Water Management District. I am reaching out to inform you that Environmental Resource Permit No. 13-01931-P, which covers land the Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc. has control over, was never transferred to an operating entity and is still in the original developer’s name. For reference, Special Condition No. 2 of the permit for this community requires the permit to be transferred to the Islands at Doral Master Association after construction has been completed by the developer and the certiﬁcation has been accepted. Construction is complete and certiﬁcation accepted, but the permit was never transferred to the Islands at Doral Master Association. At this moment, we are looking into what entity or entities need to be added to the permit as the operating entities as there are 3 Community Development Districts (CDD) within the permitted area (Islands at Doral Townhomes CDD, Islands at Doral III CDD and Island at Doral SW CDD). Please see our questions below:

Section 11.5 of the Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants states that the stormwater management systems (SWMS) will be owned, maintained, and operated

by the Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc., but provides an option for a CDD to own, maintain and operate the SWMS. Please clarify the Master Association’s relationship with the CDDs located within the community as it relates to stormwater management and the maintenance of the systems.
What portion of the SWMS is owned, maintained, and operated by the CDDs?
What portion of the SWMS is retained by the Association, and is owned, maintained, and operated by the Association?
Does the Islands at Doral Master Association, Inc. maintain and manage the Conservation Easement within their association?
If the Master Association is maintaining the Conservation Easement, is there a reason they do not own it?
If the Master Association does not maintain the Conservation, who does?

As I mentioned before, we are looking into what entity or entities would need to be added to the permit. Please let me know if you can answer any of these questions and feel dree to reach out if you have any questions of your own.
Thank you,
