Resident incident involving MCSO
Good Morning Residents,
As many of you may be aware, there was a recent investigation conducted by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) involving one of our residents. The investigation has since been completed, and attached is the official statement released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office:
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office for their continued commitment to excellence in service and for protecting the residents of our community and surrounding areas.
In the coming weeks, the Board of Directors will be coordinating with MCSO to have representatives attend an upcoming Board meeting. This will provide an opportunity for residents to ask questions and receive additional information directly from law enforcement officials.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as this matter was thoroughly investigated. Thanks to the diligent efforts of MCSO, the individuals involved and the illicit products have been successfully removed from our community, ensuring a safer environment for all. You may read the Facebook post from MSCO here.
Thank you for your continued support.
Warm regards,
Tony Kretz
President, Evergreen POA

Notice of Monthly Board Meeting

C-23 Canal Easement
Dear Evergreen Residents,
We want to remind all residents that the easement along the C-23 Canal is not property owned or governed by the Evergreen Community and its Board of Directors. Therefore, neither the Board nor Coastal Property Management has the authority to issue violations related to its use.
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has received a high volume of calls regarding activity on the canal easement. To clarify, any concerns or reports of unauthorized or unsafe activity, such as ATV use, should be directed to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, which has the proper jurisdiction. Residents are kindly asked not to contact SFWMD directly regarding these matters.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Setting up your Coastal Property Management Account
Residents,
Just a heads up, when setting up your Coastal Property Management Account, please opt in to send your notification reminders electronically. This way, reminders are sent to the email on file for when assessments are due and for all other communication. The HOA is charged an additional cost for every postal mailing sent to the property owners. We appreciate your cooperation in advance on this matter.
Evergreen Board of Directors
Annual Meeting Quorum met, Budget Passed
Good evening, Residents,
After continuing the Members’ Annual Meeting on April 24th, we reached quorum. With reaching quorum, we were able to have a members’ vote on the 2025-26 Annual Budget, which unanimously passed.
We had a great members’ Q & A with the board. We will review and hopefully have more answers by the next monthly Board meeting on May 22nd. So, we hope to see May 22nd at the Cummings Library @ 6 pm.
Annual Board Meeting Continuation
Residents,
The Board of Directors for Evergreen will continue its Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 24th, at 6 p.m. at Peter and Julie Cummings Library in Palm City. The agenda can be found here.
Please complete your proxy if you do not intend to attend the Annual Meeting. Completing the proxy will give us enough residents to hold the Annual Meeting so those in attendance can vote on the 2025-26 Budget.
Annual Meeting update
Residents,
On March 27th, Evergreen held its Annual Meeting for its Members. However, at the meeting, we did not meet the minimum quorum requirement. According to the Evergreen bylaws, we require a minimum of 90 property owners, either in person or by proxy. Our total was only 64.
This is important because the community cannot vote on the 2025-26 Annual Budget. For the residents in attendance, a poll was taken to determine whether to postpone the Annual Meeting to a future date or to use the 2024-25 budget. The vote on the floor was to push the meeting to a future date. That meeting will be our next monthly meeting, scheduled for Thursday, April 24th, at the Cummings Library in Palm City. Below is the letter that Coastal Management will send to property owners in the coming days.
If you are unable to attend, please complete and return the proxy form as soon as possible. If you have already submitted a proxy at the previous Annual Meeting, you do not need to submit another one. Please fill out the Proxy and return it in the envelope provided or fax it to Coastal Property Management at 772-266-9801 prior to the meeting.
In order to hold this meeting, it is crucial that the association meets the quorum requirement of 90 members to approve the 2025-2026 Budget.
Please make every effort to attend or submit your proxy to ensure we meet this quorum requirement.
If you have any questions, please contact Angelo at Coastal Property Management.
Debris Clearance C-23 Canal
