HPPOA still pushing for road fees??

1. Laws in place at the time these subdivisions were created require all roads to be paved prior to final plat approval.

2. County allowed the subdivisions to be finalized without paved roads.

3. County is therefore ultimately liable for all damages related to the unpaved roads.

4. It will take a very expensive lawsuit to "force" County to acknowledge their responsibility.

Alternately: if County wants to claim that "nothing can be done" because these roads are "private", fine, but that "nothing" needs to be 100%, including telling the State DoH to butt out.

And meanwhile the mayor gets a raise for doing... what?
What does our mayor do for us?
I keep forgetting.
Or perhaps I never knew.

Frank's point of establishing speed limits is a good one, and I agree it's needed. However 82/83 only address side roads (paved/unpaved). While this is tied into dust of course, the fact remains as stated above: the county is liable for the current situation, and the HPP board has failed completely to uphold the rights of this community. Speed limits will not change the history of this situation (though they may save lives). That's not the answer with regard to residents paying thousands a year due to county negligence and HPPOA wussyness.

The question remains: How do we push back effectively on DoH, leveraging the County's liability and lack of accountability in this situation?

The board won't do it, they've proven that. The attorney they've 'hired' is a joke (see similarities to our "mayor", representative of the people; that's a total hoot!).

Is it realistic to think we can retain our own attorney somehow (one who has a clue preferably; rare, but they do exist)? If all of the residents got onto the same page (and took the Board directly out of the loop), is it possible we could fight this? If every resident (except for 3, of course) signed off, yelled loudly, went public...

I'm just grasping here, but somehow I don't think we've made enough noise as a community, AND we made the mistake of letting the board be our voice - guaranteed failure.
