Board Arrogance – More Of The Same

On March 24, 2022 I was told “I have forwarded your email to Peg for a clearer response. She will be reaching out you.’ NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED as of April 3 2022.

”

Do I understand correctly that even though “a clear message that at this time there is not much of an appetite for adding amenities” Mizner Village Board still plans on spending monies (no one does a master plan at zero cost) “We will continue with the creation of the amenities master plan “ .

Please help me understand how a survey seeking to learn what amenities members wanted showed little interest and yet it seems NOW, the Mizner Village Board WILL DECIDE what amenities THEY WANT in the development of a master plan.

Just an observation of more of the same.

Mizner Village Amenities Survey

Dear Mizner Village Members,

Thank you to all of those that participated in the Mizner Village Amenities Survey.

As previously stated, we have received requests for several different types of amenities that could possibly be added on the parcel of land owned by Mizner Village west of 5^th Ave. In October of 2021, the Mizner Village Board published the Amenities Survey to all 335 Mizner Court and Mizner Tower residents to which only 46 units replied.

The lack of participation of the majority of the membership is a clear message that at this time there is not much of an appetite for adding amenities. We will continue with the creation of the amenities master plan on this parcel of land that could be utilized in the future should there be bigger interest.

Mizner Village Management

In My opinion this exemplifies the arrogance of the Mizner Board.

There is a lack of interest yet THEY ARE SPENDING MONEY to develop a master plan BECAUSE THEY WANT IT.

This is the same attitude in my opinion they are seemingly taking with the lives and safety of ALL MIZNER COURT RESIDENTS, they think they know better and act NOT ON THE LIFE SAFETY OF HUMAN LIVES.

Engineering Specs Failure ?

You be the judge.

An engineer was paid (one assumes) by Mizner Court to write the specs to STOP the water infestation/leaking from damaging the pool equipment room structure.

The pictures below are AFTER the work was done including repainting the structure. What you are seeing is a few years (less than 5 ) post repairs after it was supposedly waterproof.

The question that needs to be asked; Who was the engineer who wrote the specs? Has the Association continued to engage this engineer? Has an inquiry been done to determine why after spending GOOD MONEY it is IN NEED TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN.

Perhaps the engineer had a VERY NARROW view. Perhaps missing the obvious.

Notice the drainage pipes have been closed off.

When water has no place to find drainage, Water finds other ways to drain out.
It Drains out into the garage below

Shrubs and trees planted on too of expansion joints.

why does it matter?
Trees and shrubs have roots that grow . Those roots grow down and as they grow the push their way into the expansion joints

I personally find it interesting that looking at the 45 stack there are 2 drainage pipes closed off. Meaning water had no place to go. It just sat there looking for a way out.

Five years ago an engineer and an owners representative where hired to evaluate and write engineering specification for re surface the pool deck.

One would imagine an engineer would have taken notice of the original design while evaluating that just below this area in the garage which to no surprise are among the worst water intrusion into the garage.

$500,000 or $2,500 per unit owner was flushed down the toilet on the pool deck, spa level and 2nd level resurfacing.
Basically they spent $2,500 of every one’s money putting lipstick on a pig and it didn’t last 5 years.

Full disclosure in my opinion not only did the board waste money it also used an engineering firm and owners rep that caused an additional million dollars of damage ($5,000 cost per unit owner).

How ? They failed to identify rusting rebars, concrete expansion seemingly caused by water intrusion.
