Heritage Pines board approves stump grinding at 11453 Heritage Point Drive
Summary
The Board approved a $600 A‑Z Tree Service stump‑grind to remove a hazardous tree and stump behind 11453 Heritage Point Drive after resident reports and a Supervisor inspection; the contractor’s larger forestry‑mulch proposal was not approved.
The Heritage Pines Community Development District Board of Supervisors voted Feb. 18 to hire A‑Z Tree Service to remove a damaged tree and grind its stump behind 11453 Heritage Point Drive for $600.
Resident Don Brothers told the Board the tree is an invasive species that sustained significant hurricane damage and that a debris pile and the unstable tree pose a hazard to nearby homes. Board member Stephen Putman inspected and photographed the site that morning; the Board discussed three A‑Z estimates and approved the $600 “Remove with Stump Grind” option on a motion by Michael Walsh, seconded by Putman, with all supervisors in favor.
Board discussion distinguished the A‑Z forestry‑mulch approach from a more labor‑intensive cleanup by Environmental Solutions; Chuck Adams, the District Manager, said options and estimates informed the decision. The approved action covers the specific property behind 11453 Heritage Point Drive and does not authorize the larger $5,475 forestry‑mulch proposal that was listed on the agenda.
The District recorded the motion in the meeting minutes as: “On MOTION by Mr. Walsh and seconded by Mr. Putman, with all in favor, the A‑Z Tree Service, LLC estimate to Remove with Stump Grind Behind 11453 Heritage Point Drive, in the amount of $600, was approved.”
Next steps: the work will proceed under the approved estimate and the Board will revisit related cleanup and larger mulching options if further action is requested or recommended by staff.
