Winter Road Snow Removal

As I'm sure we are all aware, the road around our lake is private and maintained by the Lake Association. This summer at the Association Annual General Meeting a motion was passed to have ALL association members pay for year round road maintenance (including snow removal) beginning the year of 2007. This means the cost for snow removal 2007-8 will be estimated in next years dues (sent out in March 2007) and added onto our invoices. I'm expecting our fees will be $250.00 next year plus your contributions to the fish stocking program and Regatta.

This year however the road will be paid for by those who have paid in the past and those new people who plan to use the road this winter to come to their lots. Ken Geller (Geller #1003 kgeller@rogers.com) is the lead on arranging and collecting the money to pay the contractor.

Crockford has been awarded the road contract to plow only; Ken is collecting $350.00 from those who are using the road this winter. Crockford will offer driveway plowing from $100.00 for a push (2 truck lengths in) to $250.00 for 250 feet of drive. Mike O'Hara (O'Hara #1023 ohcsi@vianet.ca) is offering to blow driveways and I'm told you need to call him for a quote.

Sanding will be done on a voluntary basis, meaning those who need it will look after it. Sand is delivered to the turn around some time after Thanksgiving. There are blue plastic barrels along the road at the hills and will need to be filled. I would also suggest that each owner bring a 5 gallon pail, fill it on their way into the lot and leave it around the drive somewhere for their personal use, please do not use the sand in the barrels.

I will post a bulletin on the lake board as you enter the lake for those who may not have heard about this.
