Resident reports slab water intrusion; CDD approves drainage easement and discusses equipment relocation

At the Oct. 22 meeting Oak Run resident Lynda Sorensen told the Board she has experienced water intrusion under her home's slab, with buckling wood flooring and mold. Inspections found no plumbing or HVAC leak and a flooring warranty issue was identified; a leak-detection specialist measured very high moisture levels in the floor and concrete slab. She said rainfall increased and ponded behind her unit (27123 Sound Way) so underground downspouts became submerged; a foundation specialist recommended installing perimeter drain tiles and 5–10' downspout extensions. Ms. Sorensen asked the CDD and the HOA to coordinate a solution but staff noted drain tiles are most likely an HOA responsibility.

Separately, Premier Lakes staff reported lake conditions were generally good but one nano-bubbler requires repair. The Board and staff discussed proposals to relocate a nano-bubbler (and related 240V aerator electrical work) because a unit sits near a homeowner lanai; staff will revisit electrical proposals with the contractor and confer with Premier Lakes representatives.

The Board also approved a proposed Grant of Easement for Drainage from PSGRC to the River Ridge CDD. Counsel said the template easement can be used repeatedly with an attached sketch and legal description presented each time; Mr. Krebs said two additional drainage easements are being prepared and will be forwarded for counsel review. A resident (Mike Rainstin) said no work on Phase I/II drainage improvements for Seaside & Masters has yet commenced; staff noted work is delayed until the area dries.

No formal remediation plan for Ms. Sorensen was recorded; staff and the HOA were identified as the likely parties to act.
