Roads- The maps of the following roads Hickory, Hilltop, Juniper, Laurl and Maple, have been referred to the Town Attorney; from there it goes to Planning & Zoning, then to Town Council.
Crestwood-We would need to have the right to pass surveyed and a description filed with the town clerk.  Peter Henry would be doing the survey and Dave Rappe would do the description.
The only condition would have Gyngell repair the rocks along the street similar to Ed and Robin did at the corner of Hickory.  If the rocks are on the right of way, the association can remove them.  If the rocks are on Gyngell’s property then he has to repair them or get an agreement that the town would not be held liable
Vehicles parking on Lakeshore, Bob Allison is going to take digital pictures a various time and e-mail them to the property owner. If we repair the road should we charge he property owner?
