accumulated various types of vegetation and miscellaneous debris; including but not limited to, bottles, plastic,
and paper. Compliance of this violation will be when the following conditions are met in their entirety: All
retention areas have been mowed below 18 inches, with all clippings and vegetative debris removed from the
property. All tree limbs and tree debris is removed from the property. Stormwater systems are sufficiently
cleaned of all miscellaneous debris and vegetation.
Board member Ken Forte stated that he thought that he would have a potential conflict because he is a
homeowner in Summit Greens, but he was advised by Code Enforcement Attorney Valerie Fuchs that he does
not have a conflict.
Board member Alfred Mannella stated that he does have a conflict due to him being a Board member of the
Homeowner's Association and he has filled out the 8B Form to state that. He stated that he was advised that he
could join the discussion but he will not be voting on the issue.
Board member Forte stated that there was mediation between the SRGC and the HOA and there were some
agreements between the golf course and the HOA that may or may not interface into this violation. He stated
that if there is, he's wondering whether the Board should be inserting themselves into this at all as a Code
Enforcement Board.
Chris Roper, representing the HOA for Summit Greens, stated that it is not appropriate for the Homeowner's
Association to be listed on the violation. He stated that the reason the HOA should not be listed is included in
the language of the conditional use permit. He stated that he has a lot of exhibits to introduce into the record and
a court reporter. He stated that every time SRGC decides to stop maintaining their property and SRGC asks
Code Enforcement to enforce the HOA to pay for it, that this cycle could be repeated indefinitely. Mr. Roper
shared a number of exhibits as evidence that the Homeowner's Association is not responsible for maintaining
the stormwater and retention areas of Summit Greens subdivision. He stated that he asks that the HOA be
dismissed from the violation.
Board member David Holt asked which particular document is being used to shift the burden of the
maintenance from the developer to the golf course owner.
Mr. Roper stated the construction plans is one example where in the notes it states the HOA is responsible for
the roadway drainage. He stated that the master stormwater system and the golf course drainage system are to
be maintained by SRGC. He stated that there are also covenants on the property that allocate the
responsibilities of the stormwater system.
Board member Les Booker asked why has this issue not been resolved through the courts.
Mr. Roper stated that it's expensive to litigate and they were trying to resolve this issue without litigation, this
code enforcement violation came up before reaching a settlement.
City attorney Dan Mantzaris stated that Mr. Roper made the comment that the Conditional Use Permit is a
guideline that changes as the development is created. He stated that in fact the Conditional Use Permit is the
law and must be complied with. He stated that the City is pursuing this matter because the Conditional Use
Permit is not being complied with. He stated that the party's are arguing over the responsibility of the work and

the City wants the Board to state that there is a violation and it's inconsistent with the Conditional Use Permit
and someone has to bring the property into compliance.
Craig Edwards, SRGC manager, stated that he was sworn in. He explained what a stormwater system consisted
of. He stated that in paragraph four of the agreement between SRGC and the HOA it states the responsibility of
the maintenance of the stormwater and retention areas. He explained how the engineers came up with the 60/40
split for the agreement of the maintenance of the stormwater and retention areas. He stated that the HOA is not
upholding their responsibilities so his only way to make this happen was to stop the maintenance of these areas
and get the City and St. John's Water Management involved.
Board member Myers asked to see the complete agreement between SRGC and the HOA.
Board member Forte stated that the responsibilities look clear to him and it confuses him as to why there is an
issue. He stated that he does not feel it's the Code Enforcement Board's responsibility to settle legal issues.
Board member Mannella asked about the ownership of the golf course.
Mr. Edwards stated that the Diamond Players Club was the original owners. He stated that they sold it to
Mulligan's Society. He stated that when Mulligan's Society defaulted on their loan, it was deeded to a new
entity titled SRGC, LLC that was formed for the purpose of taking over the golf course.
Board member Mannella asked that the owner of the golf course included Mr. Edwards and other people.
Mr. Edwards stated that the owners include him and about 245 stockholders that own SRGC, LLC. He stated
they are the stockholders that own OSB Holdings that is the entity that owns the golf course.
Board member Mannella asked that Old Southern Bank Holding Company is the umbrella and its stockholders
are the owners, and Mr. Edwards is one of the stockholders under this umbrella.
Mr. Edwards stated that he agrees with Board member Mannella.
Board member Booker stated that SRGC and the HOA came to an agreement and he cannot see any better way
to divide the responsibility of the maintenance of the stormwater and retention areas.
Mr. Edwards stated that the plans show how the drainage pipes flow from the golf course and from the
community into the centralized retention areas.
Board member Booker asked if there is an issue of the golf course maintenance itself.
Mr. Edwards stated that there is no issue about the golf course maintenance.
Board member Holt stated that there is a code violation but the question is who is going to fix it. He stated that
it is not the Board's place to get this property into compliance. He stated that he finds Mr. Roper's evidence not
compelling as to the burden of responsibility being shifted and he believes that the burden falls on both parties.
Board member Carter stated that the system is going to get worse the longer the violation exists and it's going to
cost more money to correct the situation the longer the violation exists.

Mr. Roper requested 90 days for SRGC and the HOA to try to resolve the dispute and come to an agreement to
bring the property into compliance.
Board member Booker stated that he feels 90 days is excessive for compliance.
Board member Holt stated that he agrees 90 days is excessive.
Tom Maibach, 2808 Highland View Circle, stated that he sat in with the mediation and it was stated that SRGC
would maintain the golf course and the retention ponds along with the infrastructure included within the golf
course. He stated that the HOA would care for the infrastructure along the streets to the front of the
subdivisions.
