Snow Removal Situation Update
December 29th, 2009
Happy Holidays and Joyous 2010!
As Board President, let me first say “Thank You” to Tracy Warren (VP for the Board of Directors/Landscape Liaison) and her husband Robert for helping the county to get their act together during the past snow fall. There was a disconnect from one arm of the county who accepted the roads from Winchester Homes in May of 2009; and the arm of the county that schedules and implements the county snow removal plan.
The FACTS :
- All roads leading to and providing service to every single family home within the Chapel Grove HOA are maintained by the county. If someone tells you differently from the county they are misinformed.
- During snowfalls the county considers small side streets, cul-de-sacs, and courts to be the lowest priority. During heavier snowstorms it may take up to 1 to 2 days to get these roads plowed after snow fall has abated. The county focuses on primary roadways as their priority.
Opinion of the CG HOA BoD President:
- The county did a poor job of getting our roads in sections 5 and 6 added to the county snow removal plan.
- In this economy, it is obvious the county was operating on a shoe string budget. Even today there are places around the county that have snow piled in streets. We were lucky to have received warm weather to bail the county out of an even bigger problem, more accumulation.
Please contact the county at 410-222-7940 for any snow removal concerns.
