Drainage projects advance; tree removals and schedule set for late June–July
Summary
District Engineer Charlie Krebs reported that four drainage sites are under construction with silt fences installed, sod likely the week of July 2, pipe installation in Oak Run the week of June 29, and project completion expected by the end of July. Twelve trees in Palmetto Dunes will be removed and replaced and six Cabbage Palms in Oak Run must be removed and replanted.
Charlie Krebs, District Engineer, told the Board that 'all four sites are under construction; sites are cleared and silt fences were installed' and provided a timeline indicating pipe work in Oak Run the week of June 29 and likely sod installation in Turnberry and Palmetto Dunes the week of July 2, 2026. He said the project is expected to be completed by the end of July if grading is finished, and noted crews are working evenings and Saturdays to meet schedule.
Krebs said a total of 12 trees in Palmetto Dunes will need removal and replacement (mostly slash pines and two red maples) and that six Cabbage Palms must be removed and replanted in Oak Run. He also reported an air-conditioning coolant line was hit during clearing; Eric Long contacted the owner, the line was repaired, and Mr. Krebs said the cost will need to come from contingency. Staff will provide a log of additional costs in the next agenda packet.
