I certainly never expected the whole subdivision to get paved, and certainly not our dead end, but I did expect the same level of maintenance that we had when we bought, and I absolutely think all our roads should be at least drivable without dodging axle busting craters.
Expecting new road work to get paved is one thing, expecting continuing on going maintenance of already built roads is another.
SW, as I understand it, "all roads will be paved" was the promise, and the phrase "except the dead ends" was added as soon as the ink was dry on the contract. I have several friends who live on dead ends that were considerably...we'll say annoyed by this deception. But the real issue is that when budgeting for the repayment of the loan, it was expected that all of the roads would be paved, or at least everything between Shower and Makuu. Therefore, very little money was budgeted for gravel/grading maintenance because with all of this paving, very little was to be required during the loan payback. It didn't work out that way, and now you have to pay the loan note AND do maintenance that wasn't expected or budgeted for. I believe that this is one of the major handicaps that your BoD has to deal with, along with all of the other personality conflicts that just seem to be part of the package in these associations. Anyway, I wish you luck, and if you get some, maybe you could send a little of it our way.
