Road Committee Report
The parabolic mirror has been installed near Dave McCaughn's well house at the bottom of the concrete strip. The mirror provides visibility for drivers going either direction and has far exceeded expectations.

The committee is actively studying the concrete strip project as outlined in the motion at the general assembly. The current solution involves creating a 24-foot wide road in the area (12 feet pavement and 12 feet gravel) that will allow for construction vehicles as well as normal traffic. A number of issues have been identified for which professional opinions may be needed which include:
a) legal opinions concerning the rights of the association and the ability to pass on the costs.
b) Surveys to determine if the current road expansion will fit in the allocated easement area.
c) Engineer to determine the base need for the current soil composition
d) Attorney's opinion to determine if any wells or water lines will be affected by the expansion.
e) Consideration of "rolled curbs" to control the increased run-off velocity.

The board had a lengthy discussion on the subject and a number of points were presented. This could become a very complicated project. There is a need to keep this as simple as possible and still arrive at an accurate cost estimate. All cost estimates need to provide for the new construction as well as the impact on future road maintenance. There is no money allocated in the current budget to pay for legal or professional opinions that will be part of the final cost.

Any solution to this problem could result in a substantial increase in dues or a one-time assessment. This is seen as a problem since we have 12 lots that are not current with their due payments.

The board is also concerned that we generally get only 20 to 25 lot owners to show up at the general meeting. We really need everyone to be actively involved so that we are getting a true representation of the owner's opinions on this issue. Any of the board members can be contacted at the contact numbers and email addresses listed in the minutes from the last general association meeting. Any opinions, ideas or contacts you may have that could help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
