Emergency repairs
Maintaining the drainage ditches and Fawn Lake-owned culverts (those that go under the roads, not driveways) so water runs freely. The owner’s driveway culverts are their responsibility. If an issue concerns a driveway culvert, this should be reported to the Board with a recommendation forresolution.

Snow removal will occur only after at least 4 inches have accumulated, with a prediction of additional accumulation in the forecast. Bids should be obtained for the upcoming season before the budget meeting in November. No salt will be used on gravel roads. The salt can cause the road surface to soften and become quick-sand-like, making it difficult to drive on and penetrate the gravel and loosen the packed surface, leading to ruts and potholes. Sand, cinders, or asphalt millings may be used if available.
Review requests from Association members for accuracy and compliance to install a driveway culvert per Article VIII, Section N of the Bylaws and Restrictions dated October 2, 2022. Vetted requests will be brought to the board for review, discussion, and approval or denial. The decision will include two signatures, the president and either the VP or the road committee head, and a copy sent back to the member making the request. A denial must include the reason(s) and, if there is an option to modify the request, that would lead to an approval.
