Road Committee Report
1. The committee has concluded that pavement of the concrete strip in accordance with the proposal made at the annual meeting is not feasible until the below detailed issues are addressed.
2. Issues that we have identified that will need to be addressed by third party expert opinion are (a) does the association have the right to pave the road in the first place and if so can we pass the costs on to the members. (b) road and lots will need to be surveyed to verify that existing road is within the allocated easement area and to see if we have sufficient space within the allocated easement area to expand/relocate the roadway (note in some areas the road is only + or - 15 feet in width). (c) an engineer will need to be engaged to study the soil composition to determine the number of inches of crusher run that we will need for a base. (d) association attorney will have to determine if any lots in the vicinity of the proposed project are subject to well agreements that might have resulted in water lines being installed in the road - if so they will need to be relocated. (e) consideration of "rolled curbs" on edge of pavement to control increased velocity of surface water runoff and resulting erosion that would undermine pavement.
3. We have attempted to obtain for informational purposes a current quotation from APAC for a 1,200 foot by 12 foot strip of "full depth asphalt" (5 ½") but without success. Messages have been left with their office, on Brian Caldwell's cell phone and a letter was sent to no avail.

In view of the above report, the board voted by a 5-2 vote, that it is not feasible to pave this portion of the road unless money is collected and appropriated to resolve the issues contained in the above report. We will continue some activities related to improving the concrete strip. They include: (a) continuing to try to obtain the original proposal from APAC, (b) attempt to obtain a copy of the official document that turned the road over to the association from the developer, Ronnie White, and (c) have the road committee investigate the use of sprinklers on the concrete strip since a set surface provides a more stable base.

New Business
The list of property owners behind in their dues ahs been reduced to the following:
2008 Dues
Robert Arzdorf
T Brown
Dewey Houser

2007 Dues
Richard Easler
The owners on the list will be notified that if their dues ($350 per lot) is not received by March 1, 2008, a lien will be placed on their property.

The board approved Jim Hardin's porch and deck construction in absence of a response by the Architectural committee. Bobby graham will contact the chairman, Russ Strickland about his role on the committee.

Ronnie Styles brought up a number of alternatives for our road insurance policy. He will look into an umbrella project, that would be a little more costly, but would also insure that we have adequate coverage.

It is written in our covenants that uninsured vehicles are not allowed on our property. We will get a quote and get advice for the exact wording on a sign that would be placed in our association entrance.

Bobby Graham received a letter from our association stating that the possibility of the two associations merging. While we were in favor of discussing, it was felt that their association needed to meet with their lawyers to determine if there were any legal obstacles that would prevent this merger before any serious discussions could occur. Bobby will contact their officers to relay our concerns. The board felt that there is not a quick and easy solution to this request.

Adjourned
The next meeting was set for April 26, 2008 for 10:00 AM at Tom Pfaffl's residence.

Meeting was adjourned.
