COMMITTEE
REPORTS
A. SAD Board – Troy
Ford explained the purpose of the Special Assessment District (see “Name Change”
above). The original term of the SAD was
for 5 years. However, since the roads
are still not being accepted by
The Commissions have also
approved the expenditure of $1,000 for directional roads signs. They are going through a bidding process for
making and installing these signs. The
signs are necessary because whenever Hwy. 64 is closed because of an accident
and/or construction, the State Police detour motorists through the
subdivision. Without directional signs,
the subdivision is very confusing and motorists become lost (and even stuck
during the winter months). Commissioner
Bill Conley suggested
that there should also be speed signs and signs stating that the roads are not
thoroughfares.
Scott Barry, the engineer who
studied and prepared the original survey and work plan for the roads, is again working
on another study and proposal which the Board hopes to have soon.
Larry Parnes,
Chairman of the SAD Board, is preparing the assessment figures for the next 5
years. He stated that there would be no
increase this year ($30,000) but there will be an increase next year to
$40,000. The assessments are reviewed
each year.
B. Architectural Control Committee – There
has been only 1 construction plan reviewed this year and there are not as many
home starts as in the past. Larry Leahy,
prior Chairman of the Committee, has resigned as he currently has his own home
on the market and has moved to Angel Fire.
