He stated that he was advised that he could join the discussion but he will not be voting on the issue. hris Roper, representing the HOA for Summit Greens, stated that it is not appropriate for the Homeowner's .ssociation to be listed on the violation. 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.

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 ' -.w and must be complied with. He stated that the City is pursuing this matter because the Conditional Use mnit 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. 5 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD SEPTEMBER 20, 2011 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 1 -gal issues.[ Board member Mannella asked about the ownership of the golf course. 1 Mr. Edwards stated that the Diamond Players Club was the original owners.

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. He stated that there are about 250 stockholders that own SRGC, LLC. 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 evidenci in compelling as to the burden of responsibility being shifted and he believes that the burden falls on both parties. .104 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. Chairman Purvis asked if any of the stockholders live in Summit Greens. Mr. Edwards stated that he believes there are stockholders who are homeowners in Summit ,Greens. ass S�a-b� �6 U-S 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. CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD SEPTEMBER 20, 2011 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.

Purvis, Chairman Code Enforcement Board City of Clermont 685 W. Montrose Street Clermont, FL 34711 Re: Summit Greens Residents' Association and SRGC LLC Case No.: CEB 11-767 Dear Mr. Purvis: I represent Summit Greens Residents' Association (SGRA). I am contacting you to let you know the extent of the maintenance being performed by the Association. In December 2009 a Stipulated Final Declaratory Judgment was entered by the Lake County Circuit Court spelling out the obligations of Summit Greens Residents' Association and SRGC, LLC for the maintenance of the storm water system located on golf course property. SRGC, LLC has ceased performing and the Association has repeatedly attempted to obtain compliance, but to no avail. Although the Association has not been able to get SRGC, LLC, to fulfill its obligations under the judgment, the Association is nonetheless proceeding to perform fully under the Stipulated Final Declaratory Judgment and is assuming, for now, additional work that goes beyond its responsibilities. The dry retention areas fall into 4 categories: (1) Those that handle 100% residential water [to be 100% HOA responsibility]; (2) Those that handle 100% golf course water [to be 100% golf course responsibility]; (3) Those with commingled water and not serving a dual purpose of drainage and golf course use [to be 60/40 and not subject to first being maintained to golf course standards]; and (4) Those with commingled water serving a dual purpose of both drainage and golf course use [to be 60/40 after first being maintained to golf course standards]. In determining whether a dry retention area serves commingled water, the Association has reviewed the stormwater management plans prepared by Miller-Sellen and physically inspected each area. akerman.com BOCA RATON DALLAS DENVER FORT LAUDERDALE JACKSONVILLE LAS VEGAS LOS ANGELES MADISON MIAMI NAPLES NEW YORK ORLANDO PALM BEACH SALT LAKE CITY TALLAHASSEE TAMPA TYSONS CORNER WASHINGTON, D.C. WEST PALM BEACH (22636752;1) Mr. Jim Purvis November 10, 2011 Page 2 We identify 38 dry retention areas, which is a couple more than on Clermont's aerial. The difference is that we have included some areas on the Miller-Sellen plans that do not seem to be in controversy at this time. Using Clermont's labels, we categorize these areas as follows: A. 5 areas are 100% residential drainage. [IA, 1C, 1J 2i and 7B]. The Association has mowed these areas and cleaned up all the fallen branches. B. Eight areas are 100% golf course [3E, 21), 2A, 2B, 1 ia, 'Pond Existing' (by hole 15), 6A and 6C plus 2 areas not on the Clermont aerial.] The Association has not touched these areas, and does not know whether SRGC will do anything or not to maintain these areas. C. Two areas are commingled and not part of the course itself. [ 3G (previously identified in a city report as 3G but in all other documents is referred to as 3C) and the Hole 13 (7F) area where the tree branches fell, which was not on Clermont's aerial, but was going to be added to the Code Enforcement stormwater diagram.] The Association owns the land where 3G (3C) and 7F are located. They have been mowed. D. 19 areas are commingled and also part of the course [ 2C, 2E, liB, 1G, 1F, 1B, IE, 2F, 2G, 3F2, 3F1, 7C, 7G, 71), 7E, 6B, 5A, 3A and 3B]. The Association has not, and will not, mow areas which should be mowed as part of normal golf course maintenance. Under the Stipulated Final Declaratory Judgment, SRGC is obligated to maintain the golf course as a golf course prior to the Association having stormwater maintenance responsibilities. These areas are owned by SRGC, LLC. Based on our most recent conversation with SRGC, we have no idea whether SRGC will do anything to maintain these areas. They have not indicated that they are willing to accept what is clearly their responsibility. E. Three areas are commingled ponds on the course where some of the area could be considered "not in play." These three "to be categorized" areas are large ones: areas 2H, 3D and 4A on the Clermont aerial. The Association is mowing the "not in play" parts of these golf course owned stormwater areas. These parts are where they adjoin residences, from the yard boundaries to the base of the hill. The Association is undertaking this work for the benefit of residents although no determination has occurred regarding responsibility under the Stipulated Final (22636752;11 Mr. Jim Purvis November 10, 2011 Page 3 Declaratory Judgment. The Association is not mowing the pond hillsides adjoining the golf course fairways. Additionally, the Association has cleaned up all trash washed into the ponds along Hancock, and will continue doing so as rains deposit new trash. Further, the Association has had the wash-out/erosion at Hole 15, Pond 6B [Hancock drainage] repaired (at very substantial expense). SRGC has not done a thing to address these matters. At this time, the only areas where mowing is needed are on SRGC-owned land, and are part of the actual field of play of the golf course itself, or the practice range, or receive only the drainage of the golf course property per the Miller-Sellen stormwater management plans. All lands owned by the Association have been mowed, and also all areas receiving drainage from the residential portions of Summit Greens which are not part of the actual field of play have been mowed by the Association. The Association cannot do more without taking over maintenance of the golf course itself, which it will not do. It is an unreasonable expectation that the Homeowner's Association take on the financial burden of what is clearly the obligation of the privately owned golf course. Much that the Association has done constitutes an obligation shared with SRGC, and the Association will look to SRGC for reimbursement per the Stipulated Final Declaratory Judgment. As you know, the Code Enforcement Board determined that both parties bore responsibility for the overgrowth. The Association has done everything it can do without taking over golf course maintenance. We hope SRGC will do the rest of what needs to be done, particularly since it involves normal maintenance of its own golf course. The Association welcomes the Code Enforcement Board and Staff to visit the property to inspect and confirm the work it has done. Please let me know if there are any questions. P.
