I had to look into this just a bit further...
I was reading the Minutes from the June 30, 2002 HPPOA General Meeting and found this statement:
Road Advisory - Chair Lundquist explained that the committee is looking to find a way to pave all the roads. Next month Beach Road from Kaloli to Paradise, and 28th Street from Shower to Paradise Drive will be paved. If we get a loan, we plan to pave the fire roads first, 28th, 21st, 16th, 8th and Beach. Then finish the main roads, then the roads that cost the most to be maintained. A suggestion was made from the membership that after the priority roads are paved, if there is not enough funding to pave all the roads, to select roads by lottery.
Paving the roads won't raise road maintenance fees. No decision has been made about putting in 4-way stop signs.
AND THEN I looked at the minutes from a Year after that and found this report which basically states the project was not funded.
Road Maintenance - Because of the Receivership of the past few years, we began this year $300,000 short. We have cut back on road maintenance and stopped buying material, in order to have more money for paving. We were able to pave three miles of lateral roads for $248,000, and we chose roads that had the highest maintenance, 28th Street, and Beach Road. One member asked that with the paving of roads, we keep a rural character to them.
In order to stop the high maintenance at the intersections of the side roads, the policy now is to pave the aprons off the main roads.
President Payne wrote to our State Representatives asking for a Federal loan at 3% interest in order to pave all of our roads.
In the survey that was mailed previously, paving was a priority, however, an increase for paving was rejected. We will be sending out another survey.
Some members were not in favor of paving, they believe it will increase speeding on the roads. Larry Pirtle of Neighborhood Watch advised that if you observe someone speeding, take down the license number, day, time, location, and notify the police. We need to watch our community, the police do not have the manpower.
There are a few other "Gems" to be read in the General Meeting Motions that backdate to August of 1996.

Coming home soon!
