Re: Durbin Crossing Community Development District (the “District”) Signalization of Intersection at Longleaf Pine Parkway and Durbin Parkway
Mr. Bright,
The Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of the District reviewed the Traffic Signal Warrant Study (“Report”) as- sessing the need for a traffic signal at the intersection of Longleaf Pine Parkway (CR244) and Durbin Parkway (“Project”). The Board was pleased to find the Report recommended the construction of a traffic signal in the future year and the funding for the Project was budgeted for the Fiscal Year 2019/2020.
On behalf of the Board, we sincerely thank the St. Johns County Public Works Department and its staff for their efforts. Please keep us updated as this Project continues to move forward.
Sincerely,
Daniel Laughlin, District Manager Durbin Crossing CDD Board of Supervisors cc James K. Johns, County Commissioner Nealwww.durbincrossingliving.com Shinkre, P.E., Public Works Director 11 DURBIN CROSSING POND PRESS
Happy July Durbin Crossing! Rain has finally arrived on the First Coast and we are reaping its bene- fits. Rainfall always comes as a mixed bag when dealing with stormwater systems; flushing organic matter and nutrients into the ponds which may lead to some mid-summer algae blooms. This flushing can also lead to some additional growth on the bottom and edges of the ponds.
One of the most common questions we hear in this business is ‘But what do you really do? What do you treat for?’ Aquatic ecosystems are notorious for harboring invasive species, from the Zebra mus- sels in the Great Lakes, to the Lionfish lurking in the Caribbean Ocean. One of the reasons for this is because aquatic ecosystems generally have less variability in their environments, which can make it easier for non-natives to establish themselves. Non-native plants are being fought all over the United States, but in no State is the war more torrid than in Florida. Our sub-tropic and tropic environments are so similar to those on other continents, that many non-native species have found little difficulty in surviving and flourishing here, and in many cases becoming invasive.
The difference between a non-native and invasive species is a matter of impact. Look into your own, or your neighbor’s yards, and you will likely find non-native plants which cause little or no damage to their adopted environment. An invasive species will not only live in a new location, but thrive, and then spread to a degree that it causes damage to it’s surrounding environment. With plants, this often comes in the form of out-competing native species, which can lead to their decline and possible extinc- tion.
Lake management companies’ goals lie not only in the aesthetic value of both natural and man-made ponds, but also in working to help suppress many of these noxious plant species. Many will never be eradicated from Florida- grasses like Torpedograss and Alligatorweed, from Asia and South America respectively, are ubiquitous and unfortunately are here to stay. Likewise, many non-native and invasive water plants have been here too long and are simply too widespread to ever hope to control. In some cases, however, we can help- newly arrived species come to our attention through the State of Florida and recognizing and controlling them has kept many non-native plants from becoming invasive.

www.durbincrossingliving.com 6 4TH OF JULY SAFETY TIPS Fireworks and Sparklers More than 50,000 fires are caused by fireworks every year!
Never disassemble or try to make your own fireworks. Only light fireworks on the ground and in areas that are dry and fire resistant. Don’t attempt to light multiple devices at the same time. Never allow young children to handle fireworks or sparklers. Always keep a portable fire extinguisher close by. Also, keep a water hose or buckets of water nearby to put out fires.
Water Activity
Review safe boating practices. Never consume alcohol while driving a boat. Before boating, always check that there are enough life preservers on hand for every passenger. Set water safety rules for your family. Pools should be enclosed completely with a fence to restrict access to the area. Keep a first aid kit near the pool. ALWAYS designate a “water watcher”. So many times, there will be several adults at a fun summer pool party. However, too often they all think someone else is watching. If you designate one person to keep an eye on the pool, you dramatically increase your odds of having an incident free event! Grilling
Check gas grill hoses for cracks, holes and leaks. Gas leaks, blocked tubes, and propane tanks can be a cause of grill fires and explosions. Keep children away from grills. Never grill indoors, in the garage, or any enclosed area or on a surface that might catch fire. Keep the grill at least two feet away from decks, siding, branches and any outdoor equipment that can catch fire quickly.

WHEN THUNDER ROARS - STAY INDOORS
Florida is the lightning capital of the United States and it is ranked as the NUMBER ONE state for deaths due to lightning.
• Did you know that lightning kills more people in the U.S. than hurricanes and torna- does combined? • Lightning travels at the speed of light, while thunder travels at the speed of sound. • A single bolt of lightning can discharge about 100 million bolts of electricity and can travel as far as 25 miles from a cloud. It does not need to be dark directly overhead. • If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance! • One thunderstorm can generate a thousand or more lightning strikes in an hour! • Lightning is actually 3 times hotter than the sun’s surface!
With all that knowledge and critical information we’d like to remind you of Durbin Crossing’s thunderstorm policy. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we will clear, close, and secure the facility for 30 minutes. Every time thunder is heard or lightning is seen, the clock is restarted to 30 minutes. This is strictly enforced for your safety! No life is worth the risk!
