CASSELLA LETTER

 

The Board had received a letter from Joe Cassella disputing the Special Assessment and why Richards Drive is not given the same maintenance as the other roads in the subdivision.  After some research, and with the help of Glen Watson, the deed for the Subdivision states that Richards Drive is a private driveway for the sole use of the residents along the drive.  Special Assessment costs are divided equally amongst all lots within the subdivision.  These documents with a letter of explanation were mailed to Joe Cassella.

 

CULVERT

 

A culvert along the asphalt lane appeared to be sinking in the fall.  No new sinking has been observed with no cracking in the surface.  The Board decided to postpone the replacement of the culvert until there is more evidence of sinking or any appearance of cracks.

 

The Board expressed their sadness at the death of Deborah Webber.  Shane French will contact Mark Webber to determine whether flowers or a donation would be appropriate.
