Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Councilmember Nelson Rodriguez
Subject:Health, Safety and Property Damage due to Lennar Project
Date:1/17/2017

Recommendation:
For several months I have been discussing Lennar issues with Town Staff. Our Staff has had meetings with Lennar concerning the area residents that are being affected by after hours construction noise and the blowing of sand. The construction time issues seen to have been settled; however, the blowing of sand continues to be a big problem.This is beyond unacceptable. Cars and homes are covered in white sand. At times it looks like a snowstorm. On Saturday January 7th, 87th Ave had zero visibility from sand blowing east onto the roadway.

I believe it's time for the Town Council to take some action. This fine sand gets into everything and I'm concerned with the long term damage to the surrounding properties as well as the possibility of health issues arising from breathing in the dust.

I would like to discuss with my colleagues the possibility of Lennar compensating the affected residents.
