NEW BUSINESS

Annual Road Inspection conducted this evening:

Powe:

* 2 depressions on Powe at lower elevations are cracking, one relatively severely.  
* Moss growing in shady areas of road

Sarkisian:
* 1 depression on Sarkisian is cracking.
* 2 depressions near 'bridge' on Sarkisian without cracking
* Tree root upheaval evident on Sarkisian near the intersection with Sandy.  

* Moss growing in shady areas of road

Committee Recommendations:
1) Cracking depressions:  Rick has attempted to seal these with tar in the past, however more extensive repairs may be needed soon to prevent further degradation.  One option for the worst depression (on Powe) may be to try to cut and patch with cold-mix asphalt.   A second option would be to contract an asphalt repair company to make repairs to the three cracking depressions on Powe and Sarkisian.  If this option is decided upon, then quotes would need to be obtained and a request for funds from the neighborhood requested in order to cover the cost of the repairs. These options require further discussion.  Improvement in drainage of the road in these areas is needed regardless of any road repairs in order to stop future degradation.

2) 2 depressions near 'bridge' on Sarkisian:  These depressions are NOT cracking and seem to be draining adequately. They are perhaps annoying, but also seem to serve as a pair of unintentional speed bumps.   No repair advised at this time.

3) Tree upheaval: These may be from trees that were cut on the south side of the road.  If so, no further upheaval is expected.  We will monitor these areas for change.

4) Moss: Possibly treat with powdered zinc-oxide to prevent further growth.
