As a result, we now have 7 SCHA members, along with 3 board members meeting regularly to collect information necessary so that our members can make informed decisions on how best to maintain our roads.
Keep our roads private They are meeting regularly, collecting information necessary so that SCHA members can make informed decisions on how best to manage the long term SCHA Roads Project FAQs The mission of the committee is to develop a plan to best maintain the roads today and in the future. The committee is reviewing information gathered to develop the options for keeping the roads private or potentially turning them over to the Town. Both options have advantages and disadvantages and we want to be sure the entire association is well informed and involved before any decisions or recommendations are made.” In the meantime, minimum routine maintenance will continue so roads can be plowed. Q. Why are we talking about the roads? A. Our roads are nearing end of life from an engineering standpoint, and we need to plan for the future of our neighborhood. There is an opportunity to have the Town accept our roads. The Roads Committee, Board, and a majority at recent Association meeting believe it is time to start the assessment process. We cannot go further with the Town without homeowners approval to request the Town to perform a Survey. We need your approval. Q. What is the Survey? Before the Town can determine the costs of potentially accepting the roads and maintaining for the long term, we must agree as a Homeowners Association to allow the Town to perform an official Survey of our roads.
A. Nothing now – there are no costs or commitments to us for performing the Survey. The Roads Committee is gathering opinions, studies, and pricing from private contractors, so we will be ready to discuss costs associated with maintaining ownership of the roads as a neighborhood. The Survey from the Town will provide us with costs associated with the Town accepting the roads. Once we have both sets of costs/impacts/timelines/etc. we will be ready to hold a meeting with the Homeowners Association to discuss and deliberate our options – please keep in mind options will have associated costs. Q. What do we need from you? A. Approval to request the Town to perform a Survey of our current roads. More details will be sent via email, regular mail and on our web site soon. 2021 Fall Newsletter
