Re: Year 2022 Trails at Monterey CDD Report

Dear Ms. Perez:

The intent of this report is fourfold: 1) To inform as to the status of ownership of the infrastructure that was financed or constructed by the District; 2) To describe the state, working order and condition of the infrastructure still owned by the District; 3) To give recommendations as to the funds estimated necessary for the proper maintenance, repair and operation of the District’s infrastructure and; 4) To give recommendations as to the insurance to be carried by the District and the amount to be budgeted for premiums.

The District is located in Sections 4 and 9, Township 54S, Range 39E, in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It is generally bounded by Tamiami Trail (SW 8 Street, State Road 90, US-41) on the north, SW 157 Avenue on the west, SW 154 Avenue on the east, and SW 21 Street on the south; see exhibit 1 for the location and actual boundaries of the District. The District measures approximately 92.47 acres in area.

Infrastructure Ownership
Roads
All roads within the District have been dedicated to Miami-Dade County for the perpetual use of the public. This was accomplished by the recording of the following plats:
“E.F.M. Estates Section One” Recorded on March 6, 2003 in Miami-Dade County Plat Book 159, Page 98.
“E.F.M. Estates Section Two” Recorded on October 24, 2003 in Miami-Dade County Plat Book 160, Page 81.

Stormwater Management System (See Exhibit 1)
The road drainage system has been dedicated to Miami-Dade County for the perpetual use of the public by the recording of the plats described above.

The CDD owns and maintains five lakes, one dry retention area and two tree preservation tracts. Except for one half of a lake, which extends beyond the District boundary, as shown in Exhibit 1, all other lakes, retention and preservation tracts are located within the boundaries of the District. The tracts were conveyed to the District for ownership and maintenance through the following instruments:
Onsite (within the CDD boundary):
Dry retention area: Tract A (PB 159, Pg 98). Quit Claim Deed OR BK 24857, Pg 2611.
Tree preservation areas: Tract D (PB 159, Pg 98). Quit Claim Deed OR BK 24857, Pg 2611 and Tract H, Quit Claim Deed OR BK 24857, Pg 2614.
Lakes: Tracts B, C, (PB 159, Pg 98). Quit Claim Deed OR BK 24857, Pg 2611 and Tracts J, K, L, M, N, P, Q and R (PB 160, Pg 81). Quit Claim Deed OR BK 24857, Pg 2614.
Lakes: Tracts F (lake tract), E (lake access tract) (PB 159, Pg 98). Quit Claim Deed OR BK 24857, Pg 2611. These two tracts constitute the “one half” onsite portion of the lake that, together with the tracts identified below, make up one whole lake.
Offsite (outside the CDD boundary):
Lakes: Tracts S (lake tract) and T (lake access tract) (PB 161, Pg 42). Quit Claim Deed OR BK 24857, Pg 2617. These two tracts constitute the “one half” offsite portion of the lake that, together with the tracts identified above, make up one whole lake. This “one half” offsite portion of the lake is owned and maintained by the District.
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) was given a Deed of Conservation Easement over the two tree preservation tracts described above (OR BK 21637, Pg 3622). The SFWMD is not responsible for the maintenance of the tracts.

Water Distribution System
The water distribution system was conveyed complete and in good condition to Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (WASD) for ownership and maintenance, under Agreement ID No. 17741 (recorded at Miami-Dade County Official Record Book 20309, page 0798, and ORB 22371, page 1025 for Addendum 1). A small easement was granted to WASD between SW 155th Court and SW 8th Street (ORB 24930 page 2511).

Sanitary Sewer System
The sanitary sewer system and lift station were conveyed complete and in good condition to WASD for ownership and maintenance, under Agreement ID No. 17741 referenced above. Tract G of E.F.M. Estates Section One as recorded at Plat Book 159 page 98, was conveyed to MDWASD along with the lift station constructed on the property (SW 12 Terrace at SW 154 Avenue).
