Burglary at Devon-Aire #1 West 2/24/2013

On the 24th of February, there was a reported break-in at 10 in the morning at the Corner of 123rd PL & 111th Lane.  The homeowner observed a dark blue BMW leaving the location as they arrived.  Detectives apprehended a suspect a few days later in Coconut Grove as they were breaking into another home.  The suspect was driving a similar vehicle.  Unfortunately law enforcement was unable to recover any personal property lost to the thief.

We ask that all residents remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities that they observe in the community to law enforcement as well as our management company.  Be especially vigilant for vehicles which seem to be going around slowly as if casing homes in the community.  The board is also looking into the possibility of starting a Neighborhood Crime Watch program in the community to deter crime.  If you are interested, email us by using our Contact Us page or contact Scott Galya @ 305-251-0777 and let him know.

March 2013 BOD Meeting

The Board of Directors meeting for March 2013 was held on the 14th and several topics were discussed.  The spate of recent burglaries was discussed at the meeting and the Board is very concerned.  The board will begin exploring the possibility of starting a Neighborhood Crime Watch for Devon-Aire #1 and will be contacting residents to gauge their willingness to participate in the next few months.  If you might be interested in helping out, email us by using our Contact Us page or contact Scott Galya @ 305-251-0777 and let him know.  As always, it is extremely important that all crimes be reported to MDPD.  Crimes which are left unreported skews statistics and leaves our community at a disadvantage when we engage discussions with local law enforcement.

Lighting for the community was also discussed at length in the meeting.  The board has initiated a property survey to identify where lighting could potentially be installed based on Miami Dade County code requirements.  The survey will be used to determine the cost of the project as a whole as well as allow the board to determine how many phases will be required to light up the entire community which could span 10 years.  The first phase of the project, if approved, would be to light up all 3 entrances with LED light-posts before year end.  This is a very difficult undertaking and we thank Roger Alvarez & Scott Galya for all the research they have put in over the last few months.

Other minor topics discussed included collections, seal coating, speed bumps for speed control and violations.

As always, the Board encourages active participation in the monthly meetings.  If you can attend, we certainly encourage you to do so.  The next meeting is currently scheduled for April 2nd, 2013. If anything changes, we will update the calendar.  Hope to see you there.
