  4. Beautification • Annual Plantings done at Main Entrance & four out of six cul-de-sac's. • Replacement of dead trees in common areas. • Removal of large fallen tree. • Fertilization & Weed Control of common areas.

  5. Streets & Storm Sewers(“Infrastructure”) • Sinnott Farms owns Streets • We plow, maintain and repair them • Account for 30% of 2007 Proposed Budget • Annual maintenance (crack sealing) is a good investment • But deferred maintenance is costly in long run • Condition of streets impacts value of all homes

  6. Quail Run and Spice Bush • 18 years of wear, tear, weather and neglect • Badly deteriorated condition • Homeowner input – past Annual Meetings • 2005 – Board began evaluation • 2006 – Board decided to address this issue as high priority

  7. Options Considered • Minor Repairs (seal cracks, fill in depressions, etc.) • Major Overhaul (tear up old streets, build new) • Repave Plus (replace some catch basins and curbing)

  8. Unanimous Decision • Minor Repairs – too little, too late • Major Overhaul- too much, too costly • Repave Plus • Extend useful life of streets 10-20 years • Affordable • Escalating asphalt prices

  9. Contractor Selection • Request for Proposals • Walked streets with contractors • Two chose to submit bids: • JRJ Construction Co. • Cocchiola Paving Co. • Interviewed each contractor • Selected Cocchiola

  10. Why Cocchiola? • Pricing was virtually the same • Cocchiola Had Advantages: • Larger and more capable • “Petro Rug” – innovative technology • Would not pass on pending increase in asphalt prices

  11. Finance Options • Borrow • Special Homeowner Assessment • Draw on Reserves Decision: We deemed it most prudent to draw on Reserves

  12. Summary • Repaved Quail Run and Spice Bush • Installed 9 new catch basins • Replaced curbing on parts of both streets • Minimal disruption to homeowners • Expended $82,700 • Result: (almost) “Like-New” condition of Quail Run and Spice Bush • Resolve: Regular annual maintenance & repair of all streets in future

  13. Fund Definitions • Reserve Fund - dollars reserved for unplanned projects (i.e., emergency situations) • Capital Expenditure - dollars reserved for planned, future projects. (i.e., road repaving)
