ROAD UPDATES

In our previous meeting, the majority of homeowners voted in favor of widening the road to help resolve parking issues in the neighborhood. After further research, we learned that most of our community lies within a flood zone. Please refer to the image below showing the designated flood areas. 

Only a very small portion of the road could potentially be widened, and even that would require engineering plans and county approval. Engineering costs are extremely high, and there is no guarantee that approval would be granted. Additionally, widening only a small section could negatively impact the overall appearance of our neighborhood.

For these reasons, it appears repaving the existing road using a reputable company that will also install a proper drainage system would have the most positive impact on the neighborhood. We're still gathering information to make as informed a decision as possible, so we haven't ruled out widening. But that path seems less likely. 

During the repaving process, no street parking will be allowed. Once repairs are complete, the board will enforce strict parking rules, as many residents have been leaving their driveways empty and using the street for regular parking. This has become a serious safety concern, particularly for emergency vehicle access.

However, the board wants to support homeowners by providing options to increase parking on their own property. We encourage anyone interested in widening their driveway to contact the Architectural Committee for approval. We are also exploring the possibility of securing a group discount from a contractor if multiple homeowners choose to widen their driveways. If you know a qualified contractor who can assist with this type of work, please let us know.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to maintain a safe, functional, and attractive community. We welcome and value your feedback on the matter in taking the next steps-you may email us at thepreseeveatmountaincreek@gmail.com or text -864-201-6353
