Items of interest:
-
Please obey all traffic signs
within Odom’s Mill; the safety of the residents is
paramount and especially with school back in
session. We all need to be extra careful, stop at
all stop signs and drive within the posted speed
limit of 25mph.

It was brought to the Board’s
attention that the tree branches at Odoms Mill Blvd.
and Mill Cove Lane were hanging so low that traffic
from large vehicles regularly hit them. The Board
had a tree surgeon investigate and he agreed that
the tree branches needed trimming. The risk was that
if the branch received a solid hit, then more damage
could be done to the tree as well as personal
property. Willis Tree Service will be trimming this
tree as well as one on Odoms Mill and Mill Stream.
The trees are healthy and just needed the removal of
low-hanging branches.
-
Just as a note of information,
the trees in question are live oaks and they are the
hardiest type of tree found in Florida. They grow in
a single or in multiple directions and their
foundation is their trunk and root structure. The
trees in question pose no hazard from their immense
size and presence over the roadway. Concern should
exist when soft soil or voids are found at the base
of the tree or perhaps a sudden change in the roots
visible above ground. Please contact May Management
is this condition exist with a tree adjoining common
property.
-
REMINDER that our lake is
being treated regularly for toxic algae bloom,
however we can help by limiting the runoff of lawn
fertilizers and grass clippings into our storm
system and street gutters. The strict use of
time-release fertilizer is also essential to
controlling the algae and preventing an unsightly
lake.
-
The issue of the Mill Stream
cul-de-sac, as a parking and child drop off point
for the local elementary and middle school, has been
brought before the Board both, pro and con. The
Board is looking into a solution that both protects
this valuable community asset and provides safety
for the residents along Mill Stream. The primary
issue is speeding down Mill Stream and unattended
vehicles parked in the cul-de-sac area. Until a
solution is reached, please be considerate of the
property of other residents and do not block access
to property in this area.
-
A special thanks to the
residents that attend and offer comments at the
monthly Board meetings. All residents are encouraged
to attend. Better yet, get in involved in one of the
various committees that provide the Board with
guidance and solutions.
