You’ve most likely noticed that the landscaping has changed between the communities of West Bay and Bridgegate along Casseekey Island Road. A large Mahoe tree was recently removed with the approval of the DCB and the community of West Bay. We’ve received both positive and negative comments from residents and would like to provide you with background on why the decision was made.

The rationale for its removal was three-fold. First, the tree had grown considerably over the years, eventually covering the irrigation equipment, including the intake pipe. It would have damaged the equipment over time.  Second, the tree is considered undesirable by most landscapers as it is messy, depositing quite a lot of trash into the adjacent lake. The health of our lakes is fragile and we want to avoid adding unnecessary fertilizers, leaves and other detritus to them. Finally, our Landscape Committee wanted to open peak views of the lakes throughout Jonathan’s Landing whenever possible.

The Mahoe tree was situated on property that is maintained by the POA and West Bay. The two entities approved to remove the tree and each contributed toward that cost. We want to note that the tree sat on property adjacent to the community of Bridgegate as well, and unfortunately those residents were not informed of the decision. We apologize for that failure and will not repeat that mistake in the future.   

The design to replant the property includes planting littorals alongside the lake to help maintain the heath of the lake. There is a steep bank and a large hole where the tree was which will require us to reshape this area to soften the grade. A design has been developed to plant attractive native trees and plants while providing some “windows” or views into the lake. This will be reviewed and hopefully moved forward in the next few weeks.

Going forward we’ll be providing you with regular news about this and other landscaping plans. We know that most of you care deeply about our landscaping, which is so important to the overall well being and value of our community, and we thank you for your interest.
