5. General Comments On Roads Our roads are safe and passable. In general, has there been an acceptable amount of regular maintenance, gravel, grading, mowing, etc.? Any specific complaints about the road conditions or safety issues? Road Committee Budget Concerns –We could not have afforded the additional stone in May without… No need for contractor snow plowing during 2008/2009 winter. Less than the usual amount of spring-time heavy rains this year. Budget year was only 10 months long. –Lack of maintenance by some lot owners.

6. Rd. Com. Activities Planned For Next Year Road grading and routine repairs (potholes, spreading and smoothing stone). Additional road stone in Nov, and next May if budget excess is available. Roadside grass and weed spraying. Special problems (icy roads, fallen trees on road, road wash out, etc.) Grass cutting. –Routine: Entrance, upper common area, river bank area –Twice/year: Lower common area field. If Lot Owners don’t, the Road Committee must also do the following… –Roadside mowing once or twice/year. –Culvert & ditch clearing and maintenance where necessary to prevent road damage and/or washouts. –Cut/remove low-hanging branches from roadsides. Any other activities to add? Any activities you want to reduce or stop doing?
