The majority of properties in our Lorraine Lakes community have dead, dying, or diseased grass riddled with chinch bugs. Despite repeated resident complaints, the issue continues being ignored by Lennar and our HOA, negatively impacting our community.

As homeowners, we all pay HOA fees expecting our community to be properly maintained to standards that protect our property values and quality of life. The current state of yards has created an eyesore that is negatively affecting home sales and decreasing equity for owners. Further, the cost and burden of re-sodding falls to residents.

Beyond economic factors, it is simply unacceptable for our community green spaces and the curb appeal of our properties to look so poor. As an HOA, solutions must be enacted to address the source of the rampant grass disease issue. Research indicates the likely culprit is poor soil unfit for sustainable growth.

The time has come for our voices to be heard, and for real solutions through soil testing, drainage repair, new sod, or alternatives. This petition urges Lennar, the HOA, the CDD, and local representatives to come together to restore the beauty and value of our Lorraine Lakes community through addressing the grass crisis.
