CDD says drainage projects on schedule; 12 trees to be removed and replaced
Summary
District Engineer Charlie Krebs reported all four drainage sites are under construction with pipe, grading and silt fences in place. He said a total of 12 trees in Palmetto Dunes will need removal and replacement and the work is expected to be completed by the end of July if grading is finished on schedule.
Charlie Krebs told the board that the district's drainage program is active at four sites: locations are cleared, silt fences are installed, fill staged at Turnberry, and pipe installation is underway. He said Palmetto Dunes is expected to be completed by the end of the week and that "a total of twelve affected trees in Palmetto Dunes will need to be removed and replaced; most are slash pines, and two are red maple trees."
Krebs indicated sod installation in Turnberry and Palmetto Dunes is most likely the week of July 2, 2026 and that pipe installation in Oak Run is scheduled the week of June 29; he added that, "If grading is completed, the project is expected to be completed by the end of July." Staff will monitor results of changed downspout routing in Oak Run and log additional costs (including a pre-construction environmental review required by the South Florida Water Management District) for inclusion in a future agenda.
Board members noted crews are working extended hours and on Saturdays. Mr. Krebs will provide a log of additional costs for the board's review at the next meeting.
