Re: Immediate Security Update

March 23^rd, 2025

Residents,

At the last POA Board of Directors Meeting on February 27, 2025, the Board immediately motioned to eliminate blanket openings at the Guard Gate for the overall security and safety of the community and its members.

So, what does a blanket opening mean? This is when residents tell the security staff not to call, and everyone is approved to enter the community. So, if a visitor comes up to the gate and there is a blanket opening allowed, the visitor can come straight into the community without anyone knowing. From now on, for any visitor not on your friends & family or vendors list, the security staff must call that property owner so that those individual(s) can enter Evergreen with a valid ID. If the security staff cannot reach the property owner, that visitor or vendor will be turned away.

Secondly, according to this change, G-Force Security will send out a letter and guest and vendor form to update your lists. We are asking all residents to update their guest and vendor lists. If property owners decide to update their lists before receiving communication from G-Force, please call the Guard House with those changes.

Third, we will work with Crane Watch Club to help provide scheduled tee times at the guardhouse. We understand Crane Watch Club has an average of 20% of its members enter and exit through the Evergreen gates, so we want to ensure our family-orientated community is safe at all times of the day and year.

Lastly, the Board of Directors is asking residents to stay diligent and keep their vehicles and houses locked, and garages closed when not outside monitoring them. The head of G-Force Security, Gary Ackerman, a resident in Evergreen, has passed this information along to the Board and community members for the open-door Martin County Sheriff Forum held every 3^rd Thursday of the month.

The Board appreciates the community’s due diligence in this matter going forward. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Board of Directors, Coastal Property Management, or G-Force Security. Everyone is in line with this initiative.

 

Kind Regards,

Evergreen Board of Directors

Good afternoon Residents,

Evergreen Board of Directors will have their Annual Members Meeting on March 27th at 6 pm EST at Crane Watch Club Banquet Hall. At this meeting, Homeowners will vote on the 2025-26 Yearly Budget for Evergreen. Please either attend the meeting to vote or return your proxy via mail (envelope enclosed in your annual meeting packet) or fax to Coastal Property Management at 772.033.9801. Residents can review the rest of the agenda here.

Good evening, Residents,

As you may be aware, Evergreen has a new Property Management Company, Coastal Property Management, starting March 1st. Residents should have received a welcome email from Coastal with steps to access and set up the login and password through their portal.

The portal is now live, and we are encouraging residents to set up the information on the Coastal website before April 1st dues are due. Residents will receive the board-approved annual budget from the Feb. 27th meeting, which will be voted on by the community at the annual meeting on March 27th.

Lastly, the Board of Directors would like to welcome Coastal Property Management to Evergreen and look forward to working with Richard Krett, Coastal President, and our new property manager, Angelo Palmeri.

The Board of Directors would also like to thank Stephen Skakandy and Jupiter Management for their assistance over the years of our contract.

Residents,

The Evergreen Board of Directors will hold its monthly Board meeting on Thursday, February 27th, at 6 pm inside the banquet room of Crane Watch Club. The Monthly Financials are already posted on the Financials and Governing Page. The agenda can be accessed here. Please note that the agenda is a draft; a revised draft will be posted and emailed by Monday.

Good afternoon, Residents,

The Board of Directors asks homeowners to walk their properties in the upcoming weeks and assess their property for any maintenance that needs to be done. As hurricane season will be here before we know, please ensure your culverts and swales are in excellent working condition. Sunshine Landscape charges only $70-80 to clean the culvert pipe underneath your driveways. These culverts are the residents’ responsibility. Evergreen has various land and drain experts who live in the community who offer recommendations or can connect you with a company that can help.

Second, roofs, driveways, front yards, and backyards must be kept in good condition. Driving around the community recently, we noticed over 50 properties that needed their roofs addressed alone. One extremely popular vendor in Evergreen is Brian Purkey ((772) 336-2224 or Pressure Washing | Palm City, FL | Brian Purkey Cleaning). Brian is well-known for pressure washing houses and driveways. His prices are incredibly reasonable for the job that he does. So, take the time to maintain your trees and palms.

Starting in March, violations will begin to go out. Per our contract with Coastal, Coastal will inspect Evergreen property once a week. Coastal will be held accountable, and so will the residents. Please take the time to read through the bylaws to ensure properties comply. The Board of Directors will do their part over the next few months to ensure palms are trimmed and start reviewing the community drain basins and pipes to ensure they are cleaned and flowing correctly.

The Board of Directors is committed to keeping Evergreen a beautiful place to live. We do not enjoy sending notices, but they are necessary.  Residents feel free to use the Facebook and Next-door platforms for recommendations. Thank you so much for your help. Have a wonderful day.

Kind Regards,

Evergreen Board of Directors

Residents,

Over the last couple of days, the Evergreen Board of Directors has begun discussions with our new Property Management Company, Coastal Property Management. With their direction, we want to immediately convey the following regarding Golf Carts in Evergreen.

Under Article VIII, Section 5 of the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Evergreen, Golf Carts shall not be operated on the Common Areas by any unlicensed person or any person under the age of sixteen (16). 

Under Article I Section 5 “Common Area” shall mean all the real property and improvements owned by the Association for the common use and the enjoyment of the Owners. The Common Area to be owned by the Association shall be such areas as shown on the Plats designated as Common Area. 

In general, Evergreen’s Current Governing Documents do not supersede state law. We, as a Board of Directors, apologize for the confusion. The website is currently being updated. We are asking all property owners and residents to adhere to Evergreen’s current bylaws.

If you have any questions, please contact the Board of Directors or review the current Governing Documents on the website.

Residents,

On Tuesday, January 28th, The Evergreen Board of Directors executed a contract with our landscape vendor Yellowstone Landscaping. In this contract, Yellowstone will be responsible for removing 25 diseased and dying palm trees in the community. Once the tree and the root ball are removed, Yellowstone will replace that area with new healthy dirt and sod.

The second half of the executed proposal will include Yellowstone trimming the Oak Trees at the Evergreen entrance and trimming and cleaning up around the Flagpole at the start of Bimini North/South.

Once we know the start of these projects, the Board of Directors will communicate this to the community. Once these projects begin, we are asking residents for their patience as they navigate through the community. Lastly, this executed proposal will be posted on the Evergreen website in the coming days for residents to view.

If you have any questions, please contact either Jupiter Management or the Evergreen Board of Directors with your concerns.
