Charmingly delightful! From the great curb appeal and warm and inviting entrance to the new
kitchen open to the family room this home is full of nice surprises. Great custom floor plan.
On a quiet street with lots of privacy, abuts a preserve on two sides. Room to add a pool.

Reminders:
Prime Fire Season: Unfortunately we are, according the recent news reports, at
extreme fire hazard conditions. Recently we had a fire of cut palm fronds,
started on the grass in the common area behind 1925 to 1953 IGCB. Had the
grass caught fire the homes in that area could have been in danger. If anyone
knows anything about this fire please contact our Property Manager Sue Murphy.
We need to be aware of what is happening around our property when in these
dangerous fire conditions.
Your next quarterly assessment of $398 per quarter was due April 1st. Please

in the mail. If you did not receive your coupons, please contact Towne Properties
at 239-596-1031.
It is your responsibility to call in all vendors and visitors to allow pre-authorized

We have been working with our Insurance agency to be
sure that all of our coverages are adequate. The agency
has confirmed that our General Liability Policy does cover
the Entrada roadway just like the rest of the roads (Common
Areas) in IGEHOA. Last month we increased our
Crime/Fidelity Bond/Employee Dishonesty to $600,000 from
the previous coverage of $100,000 based on the total of our
Operating Cash and Reserves. We asked that they upgrade
the length of our covered roadway in our General Liability
policy to 7 miles with the addition of Entrada. We are
waiting for any premium change. The $30,000 transfer from
our Contingency Reserve to our Road Reserve will appear
in next month’s financials.
The discussion to remove eleven (11) delinquency balances,
each balance being $15.00 or less; the collection expense
after the first attempt was made to collect is greater that the
delinquent balance due to the association therefore these
balances will be removed from these accounts. Delinquent
balances greater than $15.00 will continue forward for
possible collection action per our Delinquent Assessment
Rule.

Towne Properties has signed a contract with Wiebel,
Hennels & Carufe to do the taxes for the Associations that
they manage. It is anticipated that the cost for our tax
preparation (IRS Form 1120H) will be less than last year.
Unfinished Business:
Rules and Regulations for the community will be reviewed
by Board members to determine the need for the specific
rule(s), the consequence of any suspension of amenities
usage and to include the review of specific wording of rules.
(Discussion item)
Operational procedures for the Homeowners Association
are being developed and reviewed by each Board and
committee member to facilitate transfer of responsibilities
between old and new Board members. (Ongoing project)
A homeowner voiced a concern regarding overflow and
maintenance of lakes. Director Castaldini answered those
SDWMD related questions to include the lake drain pipe
action plan with updated pipes. The Board is working
diligently to keep lakes in healthy conditions and at a
healthy level for wildlife in /out of lakes.
An attending homeowner reported that a travel trailer is
being stored on driveway for over two days. Manager will
follow up with a site inspection and appropriate action.
completed by D.H. Horton. The Board will supplement this
area/or portions thereof located at the Marquis Park.
Director Mc Elligott will evaluate that area that has no
irrigation and the possibility of a booster pump. Director
Castaldini stated that the temporary fence installed by
Horton (Marsilea development) will be removed by IGEHOA
to reclaim the 3 feet error prior to any landscape installation.
Director Mc Elligott will research bids for the fence replacement to include the black metal. Water drainage from the
sidewalk could go into a 16 inch pipe that then pushes the
water into the wetlands; offsetting the volume of standing
water on IGEHOA property.
Owner on Imperial Circle voiced concern regarding water
over flow into streets. Director Castaldini stated that there
is a pump that was purchased for Phase 5 for drainage
emergencies/ there is a 9 inch opening out of the weir that
keeps water at the appropriate level. This 9 inch opening is
non controlled (open all the time). All the underground
concrete pipes are open and working; the over flow water
during significant rain events is stored on the streets, which
is the design. SFWMD permit restrictions will not permit a
larger outlet from the weir.
An attending homeowner stated that there is a cracked
sidewalk located on Imperial Circle that needs to be
evaluation for trip hazard. Superintendent Thieme will
investigate.
New Business:
Homeowner’s responsibility to remove exotics per Collier
county Web site was discussed. No action needed.
Entrada gate pass failures particularly with SUV’s and
large trucks. Large trucks and SUV’s when entering or
leaving the Entrada gate need to be further away from the
bar code reader to activate the gate. The dual laser readers
fan out as they project away from the bar code reader head
and the further a large vehicle is away from the bar code
reader the better the chance that their bar code will be read.
Insurance confirmation from Brown + Brown ; Any and all
bridges, roads, and property that Imperial Golf Estates is
responsible for including the private road that connects IGE
to Livingston road is covered under the General Liability
policy (which includes 7 miles of roads).
Review of Entrada Gate suspension of privileges: procedures were reviewed; Homeowners have the right to a
hearing within 14 days of letter of notice to deactivate.
The hearing date and time will be reserved through the
Management Company with the cited owner.
Resolution to February 26, 2015 minutes: included attachment revokes the motion to transfer funds from Owner’s
Equity to Road and Drainage Reserves. It now approves
the transfer of $30,000 from the Contingency Reserve to the
Drainage Reserve. Ratified approval of BOD signed Resolution:
The Golf Club requested that the GIB consider seventy-five
employees (75) be permitted to obtain windshield passes
for entry through the owners gate, also to permit more staff
in the gate house during golf event dates. Treasurer Harruff
discussed the rights of owners vs. rights of the golf members. Discussion ensued to include options to this request.
Motion was made by Treasurer Harruff that the IGE Board of
Directors not approve changing the GIBs gate entrance
policy. Motion seconded by Director Castaldini. All in favor.
Motion approved unanimously.
Homeowner Issues:
Eugene Bannon seeks additional landscape by the Marsilea
developer, D. H. Horton, abutting the fence in Phase 5 near
the Entrada gate. Developers are obligated to install
“Minimum type A landscape which includes a tree installed
every 30 ft. with a bush in between trees.” Landscape
screening plans will be available before the 19 villas are

The committee is waiting for Sewer Viewer to investigate
the condition of three (3) large drains pipes that cross
under the Boulevard at the four way intersection. The
pipes have out lived their life span and any failure would
result in great disruption and inconvenience to all our
residents. By being proactive we can plan ahead and limit
the disruption if replacement is required. Additionally,
Director Castaldini escorted our LCAM around the subdivision, to provide her with an overall review of IGEHOA’s
drainage system and how it interacts with communities
upstream, the Golf Course and communities downstream.
It is difficult if not impossible to understand how the
system was designed and build without the benefit of
physically observing how the system is laid out.

Beautification, Common / Park Areas
Committee Reports: (Director McElligott)
Jose Pineda and Top Cut fertilized trees and shrubs
in the community. The project of tree trimming was finished
up this month.
Banks surveyors came out last week to survey the property
line between IGE and Marsilea development. The current
fence is 3’ on our side of the property line so we will be
moving the fence to the correct property line.
The Racquet Club recently cut down the trees between the
Charleston Square Condos and the shop building, making
our work shop visible to the Charleston Square. Mark has
been working to clean the area around the shop, to make it
more eye appealing for the condos.
Jose Pineda will be replacing the dead plants behind the
flowers at the wing wall.
Perimeter Awareness: (Director Keating)
Supervisor Thieme is working with Director
Keating to review the area and draft a guideline for
reporting conditions.
Traffic Safety and Security Committee:
(Director Keating): Director Keating has met
with Corporal John Madden to discuss the general
safety of the community and how the Board and membership can be an active part of a safety conscious community.
Roads & Walk paths:
(Director Harruff for Director Joyce)
The committee met with Holes Monte in March
with attending members Len Joyce, Mark Thieme and
Nicole Monahan; the team inventoried the Estates and
reviewed conditions of the asphalt in the community’s
different phases, including cul de sacs and courts.
Included in the discussion were topics of Poly Tar as a
material – a proposal from Hole Montes “Pavement
Rehabilitation Evaluation for $5,800.00’. A meeting with
Johnson Engineering Services on April 9th to refine a
verbal proposal of $2,500.00 for evaluation purposes, if
needed.
Entrada Gate Issues: (Director McElligott)
We had a number of back gate violations this
month ranging from cars pulling up to the gate and
then pulling away so the next car could go through, to a
motorcycle tailgating out on a repeat occurrence. The first
notice of violation includes the deactivation of pass for
ninety (90) days.
Light #22 is out and Mark will be rebuilding the LED light to
replace the burned out bulb.
We had 2 new gate arms that where broken by vendors
tailgating into the community. Both company’s where
charged $300 for replacement arms.
Please remember to tell all of your vendors that they have to
use the 41 entrance and exit to IGE. If vendors aren’t
instructed on directions, their GPS will take them to the
back gate.
Architectural Review Board Report:
(Vice President Toth) The ARB committee
reviewed and approved eleven requests last month
with no pending. The approved requests included repaint
exterior, pavers, roof, shutters. There were no disapproved
requests.

Drainage Report: (Director Castaldini)
The committee continues to investigate the
best way to mechanize the operation of both the
Majestic Weir and the Bismarck Weir. The Weirs are
currently operated by physically removing or replacing the
various boards to either slow or increase the water
discharge during extended times of drought or prolonged
periods of rain. It is also a physically demanding and
dangerous procedure especially at night. The proposed
process is fairly complex and we need to be sure that it will
be affordable, durable and will meet the current requirements dictated by Collier County and various other
Government entities.

the condition of three (3) large drains pipes that cross
under the Boulevard at the four way intersection. The
pipes have out lived their life span and any failure would
result in great disruption and inconvenience to all our
residents. By being proactive we can plan ahead and limit
the disruption if replacement is required. Additionally,
Director Castaldini escorted our LCAM around the subdivision, to provide her with an overall review of IGEHOA’s
drainage system and how it interacts with communities
upstream, the Golf Course and communities downstream.
It is difficult if not impossible to understand how the
system was designed and build without the benefit of
physically observing how the system is laid out.

Beautification, Common / Park Areas
Committee Reports: (Director McElligott)
Jose Pineda and Top Cut fertilized trees and shrubs
in the community. The project of tree trimming was finished
up this month.
Banks surveyors came out last week to survey the property
line between IGE and Marsilea development. The current
fence is 3’ on our side of the property line so we will be
moving the fence to the correct property line.
The Racquet Club recently cut down the trees between the
Charleston Square Condos and the shop building, making
our work shop visible to the Charleston Square. Mark has
been working to clean the area around the shop, to make it
more eye appealing for the condos.
Jose Pineda will be replacing the dead plants behind the
flowers at the wing wall.
Perimeter Awareness: (Director Keating)
Supervisor Thieme is working with Director
Keating to review the area and draft a guideline for
reporting conditions.
Traffic Safety and Security Committee:
(Director Keating): Director Keating has met
with Corporal John Madden to discuss the general
safety of the community and how the Board and membership can be an active part of a safety conscious community.
Roads & Walk paths:
(Director Harruff for Director Joyce)
The committee met with Holes Monte in March
with attending members Len Joyce, Mark Thieme and
Nicole Monahan; the team inventoried the Estates and
reviewed conditions of the asphalt in the community’s
different phases, including cul de sacs and courts.
Included in the discussion were topics of Poly Tar as a
material – a proposal from Hole Montes “Pavement
Rehabilitation Evaluation for $5,800.00’. A meeting with
Johnson Engineering Services on April 9th to refine a
verbal proposal of $2,500.00 for evaluation purposes, if
needed.
Entrada Gate Issues: (Director McElligott)
We had a number of back gate violations this
month ranging from cars pulling up to the gate and
then pulling away so the next car could go through, to a
motorcycle tailgating out on a repeat occurrence. The first
notice of violation includes the deactivation of pass for
ninety (90) days.
Light #22 is out and Mark will be rebuilding the LED light to
replace the burned out bulb.
We had 2 new gate arms that where broken by vendors
tailgating into the community. Both company’s where
charged $300 for replacement arms.
Please remember to tell all of your vendors that they have to
use the 41 entrance and exit to IGE. If vendors aren’t
instructed on directions, their GPS will take them to the
back gate.
Architectural Review Board Report:
(Vice President Toth) The ARB committee
reviewed and approved eleven requests last month
with no pending. The approved requests included repaint
exterior, pavers, roof, shutters. There were no disapproved
requests.

Drainage Report: (Director Castaldini)
The committee continues to investigate the
best way to mechanize the operation of both the
Majestic Weir and the Bismarck Weir. The Weirs are
currently operated by physically removing or replacing the
various boards to either slow or increase the water
discharge during extended times of drought or prolonged
periods of rain. It is also a physically demanding and
dangerous procedure especially at night. The proposed
process is fairly complex and we need to be sure that it will
be affordable, durable and will meet the current requirements dictated by Collier County and various other
Government entities.
In attendance were:
Scott Toth – ARB
Patrick Keating – Safety and Security and Perimeter
Awareness
Charles McElligott – Beautification and Entrada/Back Gate
Tom Harruff – Treasurer
Len Joyce – Roads and Walk Paths
Tom Nessling – Entrada and Back Gate
Dan Castaldini – Storm Water Drainage
Mark Thieme – IGE Superintendent
Each committee head agreed to prepare a draft of what
each committee’s purpose and responsibilities entailed.
Dan Castaldini provided an example of what is needed in
his preparation of this for Storm Water Drainage.
The long term goal of these documents is to facilitate
transfer of responsibilities as new directors come on the
board and for the new directors to better understand the
function of these roles. A sort of living document of responsibilities of our Board of Directors.
These will be reviewed at the next board meeting on Mar.

We have been working with our Insurance agency to be
sure that all of our coverages are adequate. The agency
has confirmed that our General Liability Policy does cover
the Entrada roadway just like the rest of the roads (Common
Areas) in IGEHOA. Last month we increased our
Crime/Fidelity Bond/Employee Dishonesty to $600,000 from
the previous coverage of $100,000 based on the total of our
Operating Cash and Reserves. We asked that they upgrade
the length of our covered roadway in our General Liability
policy to 7 miles with the addition of Entrada. We are
waiting for any premium change. The $30,000 transfer from
our Contingency Reserve to our Road Reserve will appear
in next month’s financials.
The discussion to remove eleven (11) delinquency balances,
each balance being $15.00 or less; the collection expense
after the first attempt was made to collect is greater that the

there was a workshop regarding how to describe the
various officer/committee chair person position functions,
duties, and responsibilities.

Balance Sheet Discussion: We have adequate cash on
hand to meet our monthly bills and it looks like we will end
the year with a positive Net Operating Income when we
finish reconciling our year end reports.
We have received two bids for the audit (three year cycle)
that will be accomplished in 2015 on our 2014 financials.
T.M. Hayes did our last GIB Audit in 2011.
Towne Properties has signed a contract with Wiebel,
Hennels & Carufe to do the taxes for the Associations that
they manage. It is anticipated that the cost for our tax
preparation (IRS Form 1120H) will be less than last year.
Unfinished Business:
Rules and Regulations for the community will be reviewed
by Board members to determine the need for the specific
rule(s), the consequence of any suspension of amenities
usage and to include the review of specific wording of rules.
(Discussion item)
Operational procedures for the Homeowners Association
are being developed and reviewed by each Board and
committee member to facilitate transfer of responsibilities
between old and new Board members. (Ongoing project)
A homeowner voiced a concern regarding overflow and
maintenance of lakes. Director Castaldini answered those
SDWMD related questions to include the lake drain pipe
action plan with updated pipes. The Board is working
diligently to keep lakes in healthy conditions and at a
healthy level for wildlife in /out of lakes.
An attending homeowner reported that a travel trailer is
being stored on driveway for over two days. Manager will
follow up with a site inspection and appropriate action.
completed by D.H. Horton. The Board will supplement this
area/or portions thereof located at the Marquis Park.
Director Mc Elligott will evaluate that area that has no
irrigation and the possibility of a booster pump. Director
Castaldini stated that the temporary fence installed by
Horton (Marsilea development) will be removed by IGEHOA
to reclaim the 3 feet error prior to any landscape installation.
Director Mc Elligott will research bids for the fence replacement to include the black metal. Water drainage from the
sidewalk could go into a 16 inch pipe that then pushes the
water into the wetlands; offsetting the volume of standing
water on IGEHOA property.
Owner on Imperial Circle voiced concern regarding water
over flow into streets. Director Castaldini stated that there
is a pump that was purchased for Phase 5 for drainage
emergencies/ there is a 9 inch opening out of the weir that
keeps water at the appropriate level. This 9 inch opening is
non controlled (open all the time). All the underground
concrete pipes are open and working; the over flow water
during significant rain events is stored on the streets, which
is the design. SFWMD permit restrictions will not permit a
larger outlet from the weir.
An attending homeowner stated that there is a cracked
sidewalk located on Imperial Circle that needs to be
evaluation for trip hazard. Superintendent Thieme will
investigate.
New Business:
Homeowner’s responsibility to remove exotics per Collier
county Web site was discussed. No action needed.
Entrada gate pass failures particularly with SUV’s and
large trucks. Large trucks and SUV’s when entering or
leaving the Entrada gate need to be further away from the
bar code reader to activate the gate. The dual laser readers
fan out as they project away from the bar code reader head
and the further a large vehicle is away from the bar code
reader the better the chance that their bar code will be read.
Insurance confirmation from Brown + Brown ; Any and all
bridges, roads, and property that Imperial Golf Estates is
responsible for including the private road that connects IGE
to Livingston road is covered under the General Liability
policy (which includes 7 miles of roads).
Review of Entrada Gate suspension of privileges: procedures were reviewed; Homeowners have the right to a
hearing within 14 days of letter of notice to deactivate.
The hearing date and time will be reserved through the
Management Company with the cited owner.
Resolution to February 26, 2015 minutes: included attachment revokes the motion to transfer funds from Owner’s
Equity to Road and Drainage Reserves. It now approves
the transfer of $30,000 from the Contingency Reserve to the
Drainage Reserve. Ratified approval of BOD signed Resolution:
The Golf Club requested that the GIB consider seventy-five
employees (75) be permitted to obtain windshield passes
for entry through the owners gate, also to permit more staff
in the gate house during golf event dates. Treasurer Harruff
discussed the rights of owners vs. rights of the golf members. Discussion ensued to include options to this request.
Motion was made by Treasurer Harruff that the IGE Board of
Directors not approve changing the GIBs gate entrance
policy. Motion seconded by Director Castaldini. All in favor.
Motion approved unanimously.
Homeowner Issues:
Eugene Bannon seeks additional landscape by the Marsilea
developer, D. H. Horton, abutting the fence in Phase 5 near
the Entrada gate. Developers are obligated to install
“Minimum type A landscape which includes a tree installed
every 30 ft. with a bush in between trees.” Landscape
screening plans will be available before the 19 villas are

Reminders:
Prime Fire Season: Unfortunately we are, according the recent news reports, at
extreme fire hazard conditions. Recently we had a fire of cut palm fronds,
started on the grass in the common area behind 1925 to 1953 IGCB. Had the
grass caught fire the homes in that area could have been in danger. If anyone
knows anything about this fire please contact our Property Manager Sue Murphy.
We need to be aware of what is happening around our property when in these
dangerous fire conditions.
Your next quarterly assessment of $398 per quarter was due April 1st. Please

in the mail. If you did not receive your coupons, please contact Towne Properties
at 239-596-1031.
It is your responsibility to call in all vendors and visitors to allow pre-authorized
access through the front gate. Call 239-597-2005 to enter the automated call in

Dear Mr. Harruff:
The North Naples Service Delivery Area of the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District has an ISO
rating of 3. The ISO rating of 3 applies to properties located within a defined distance of a fire station,
usually a five road mile radius in most instances.
According to MapQuest, North Collier Fire Station #48 is located within the five mile radius from all
residential structures located within the Imperial development. Additionally, the development does have
fire hydrants, with all residential structures being located within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant.
The North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District’s standard response to a reported structure fire for an
area with hydrants within 1,000 feet is three (3) Engines, one (1) Ladder Truck and two (2) Chief
Officers.
Please distribute this letter to the residents within the Imperial development for forwarding to their
homeowner’s insurance company.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Orly C. Stolts
Fire Chief
