NA Hiatus Letter

February 2024

Dear Neighbor,

It’s not uncommon for neighborhood associations such as ours to find the need to regroup.
With this in mind, the Sky Lake-Highland Lakes Area Neighborhood Association is currently on
hiatus as we search for new Board members to help lead the group in 2024 and beyond.
We would like to thank Rick Schermer, Immediate Past President, for his years of leadership
and tireless efforts with Miami-Dade County officials. Over the years the Neighborhood
Association has continuously advocated for its residents on issues including but not limited to:
traffic, beautification of parks & neighborhoods, assorted zoning issues, security, local public
school issues, food truck events, resident education, and much more.
While we are regrouping, there are still Board members working behind the scenes
advocating for our community.

If you are interested in getting involved, please send an email to
skyhighhomes@gmail.com.

Upcoming AT&T Installation Work in our Community

June 21, 2022

Re: Upcoming AT&T Installation Work in your Community.

Dear: HOA Board Members and Residents.

AT&T is planning to upgrade their existing infrastructure to a new state of the art fiber to the home network. To do so we need to upgrade portions of the existing infrastructure within the easements, pole lines and right of way in your community, depending on where the existing network is located within the community. There is no cost to the community. This upgrade work will require digging, underground boring and boring under driveways, along with the installation of underground vaults flush mounted to the ground (like water meter boxes), connected by underground fiber and conduits at various locations throughout the community within the legally platted utility easements or right of way. Most homes in the community will be affected by the upgrade. AT&T and its construction contractor guarantee that all disturbed areas will be returned to like condition by the end of the construction project.

During this time, you will see increased traffic and construction workers in your neighborhood. Locate flags will be placed and paint utilized to mark underground facilities. These are for the protection of your community utilities during construction. We ask you and your landscapers not to remove these flags as it is a state law that they remain in place during construction. AT&T will be starting the upgrades in the next few months.

Residents will be notified by door hangers on all resident’s doors approximately 2-3 days prior to construction in the community. We look forward to bringing this exciting new technology to your neighborhood soon. This job is scheduled to start in the next 2-4 weeks, possibly sooner. If you have any questions or if I can be of assistance during the upgrade, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Antoine Arminan
