AND how will the chip seal be affected w/weeds and grass growing over it? Will it also pop up through it since it's more porous? That needs to be considered when the easements aren't being kept up. Some of what we see out there is over a year's worth for sure under an interim GM that wasn't experienced and distracted w/HRC, rewriting ofc job descripts and hiring a particular person. The new GM didn't have much time trying to do catch up before he was hit w/"let's chip seal". It appears a few board members have directed him to focus on this, and some say he was hired for this reason. Their expensive priorities are messed up.
Asphalt itself is low maintenance but w/the grass growing up and over it, it's affecting the integrity of the edges of the road. Which means monies that have gone into paved roads aren't being protected by the mgmt by maintaining the easements. Brand new asphalt roads laid last year Mar/April, the last of our paving w/the bond $$$, has grass growing over it. So that's another domino affect when our road crew is doing "other duties as assigned".
The bushes and low lying tree branches aren't being maintained either and are side swapping cars and causing line of sight issues. Another liability for the association.
A member spoke of sending a bill to the association for what it's doing to the side of his car. Vans w/racks get hit on top by low lying branches. Ideally the side roads should be mowed 5' minimum and the main drags 10', and cleared vertically to a certain depth for line of sight. There are many places in HPP today w/zero line of sight.
There is a formula for how many feet of clearing is required of bushes and tall grass etc per MPH, which is county/federal code specs, to get ample line of sight. The interim GM had come up w/her own formula pulled from the sky, disregarded the county specs, and this attitude continues. So that is what we're seeing around HPP today. We have people who live in/outside of the park who travel well over 35 MPH on our humpy main drags. Line of sight is the least the mgmt can provide for those pulling out on our main drags.
Stop signs aren't and won't be put up fast enough when they go down if the crew is working on chip sealing our roads. Stop signs are number 1 priority and lots go down bc they weren't installed properly. Another major liability for the association.
Signs still aren't being installed properly despite the HPP sign policy we have (via RTSC's efforts) which the mgmt is supposed to adhere to. That's a waste of our monies on labor and signage from substandard installation. The RTSC got 80 stop signs for HPP donated by the county and we have no idea how many of those are left. Speaking of....the board hasn't received an inventory from the interim GM or this GM yet as is supposed to be done yearly, per our bylaws.
