Obie, I asked you awhile back whether your roads are flat. We have over 130 miles of road descending from the highway to the ocean... I don't know how many miles of it are asphalt. But we have lots of roads that have constant ruts and potholes. When it rains we have areas w/water runoff that travels across or down on the humpy roads. Some of that rainwater is coming down from the highway.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that these variables make a difference in how each road should be approached w/chip seal. The result will only be as good as the foundation it's laid on, which requires a decent engineer and an experienced professional. I believe our GM's experience is in building houses. He has only spoke of building but we haven't heard whether he has any experience w/"roads". Our road crew's experience is in cutting grass and filling potholes, which is what they were hired to do.

I know every subdivision has their road issues and some have worse issues than ours. But they don't have a majority board hot to trot to lay chip seal down. If it weren't for concerned members it'd be laid down by now and possibly by the contractor who's currently being sued by Orchidland. It's logical for some of us to be concerned w/the lack of transparency that still is going on. All we know is that they've overturned what the membership voted for. They have opportunity to say more, but don't.
