The board discussed the public meeting from January.  The attendees at the meeting were in general agreement with maintaining Woodland Drive.  However, some folks don't want to pay an additional assessment if Lane repair is excluded while others don't want to pay an assessment if the Lane are included. 

 

The board decided that the first step in road improvement is fix the drainage issues for all.  The idea is that drainage repair would minimize future erosion problems on the Lanes.  The board will ask Towey Design Group for an estimate to correct drainage problems such as ditches and culverts and to present that proposal to the residents.
