The road that I live on had previously been graded but I think over time it turned into huge pot holes from the beginning of the road to the end. So if anyone knows the average cost of grading, laying cedar, pouring gravel or even paving it would really be helpful. I just wanted to know the least expensive way to go without having to go out there with a pick and shovel. Thanks

HIPA has no community association that I am aware of, nor any efforts to create one. If the roads are private (and most likely they are -- County Planning Department can tell you for sure), it would be the community association that would pave them, therefore, you'll probably never see them get paved unless you do it yourself.

I don't think this is the right forum to reach your neighbors.

I don't think there is such a forum. You can get the addresses of all people living and/or owning property in the subdivision from the tax office and you can send them a letter. I don't want to discourage you, but most people living in similar subdivisions don't want paved roads. I went to a Hawaiian Acres association meeting ones and they were ready to stoned the person who mentioned paved roads.

I'd also suggest that many who chose to buy/live in a subdivision without an HOA are against forming one. I know if any of my neighbors made the suggestion, my response would be to ask them to consider moving where there was already one and leave the rest of us alone. JMHO

A HOA often doesn't have any powers at all. Some are basically voluntary clubs that work for the benefit of the neighborhood. They can be a good forum to get to know your neighbors. If you don't want to play, you can ignore it's existance.

Another used for a homeowners association. The last house we lived in (in an unicorported area), the residents established a HOA in order to stop one of the abutting cities from annexes some of the property so the area zoning would stay. 18 years later, the HOA still exists in oder to allow the area to remain at it's current status quo. Without the HOA, the surrounding cities could have annexed the property to increase density. Although the city annexation is not an issue here, the rezoning issues could be.
