Re: Year 2020 Tree Island Estates CDD Report

Dear Mr. Silva:

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 Section 9, Township 54S, Range 39E, in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It is bounded by SW 154 Avenue on the west, SW 152 Avenue on the east, SW 26 Street (Coral Way) on the south and SW 18 Street and SW 16 Lane on the north. See Exhibit 1 for a graphical representation of the Development.

Infrastructure Ownership
Roads
All streets, avenues, lanes, terraces, places, courts, paths and passages 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 plat:
1. “A.B. at Tamiami Trail, Phase 1.” Recorded on April 18, 2003 at PB 160, PG 25.

Stormwater Management System
The road drainage system has been dedicated to Miami-Dade County for the perpetual use of the public by the recording of the plat described above.
As of the date of this report, County Records indicate that the tree preserves (Tracts N and
and the archeological preserve (Tract O) (together the “Preservation Tracts”) are owned by the Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation Department. On February 1, 2008, the Developer granted a deed of conservation easement to South Florida Water Management District (“SFWMD”) over the Preservation Tracts and was recorded at ORB 26258, PG 4969. The large lake (Tract M) was conveyed to the District by means of Special Warranty Deed dated March 23, 2007 recorded at ORB 25512, PG 2691. The smaller lake (Tract A) was conveyed to the District by means of Warranty Deed dated August 14, 2014

recorded at ORB 29423, PG 852. An open area tract (Tract “R”), located south of the large lake, is currently owned by the Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation Department.
The long-term ownership and maintenance responsibility are as follows:
The District currently owns and maintains lake tracts A and M
The District currently maintains Tract R and the landscaped medians at SW 153 Avenue
The Developer has conveyed ownership of tracts N, O, P and R to the County and the County will become the Operating Entity of the tracts. The District will maintain the four tracts under an Interlocal Agreement (“ILA”) with the County and the County will keep maintenance responsibilities for the fence surrounding the Preservation Tracts. As of the date of this report, the County has not finalized the negotiation of the ILA and the District has included funds in its budget to maintain the Preservation Tracts, the lakes, and Tract “R”. Communications among the District and County continue.

Water and Sewer Systems
The water and sewer systems were conveyed to Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (WASD) for ownership and maintenance, under Agreement ID No. 17918.
