The snow contract states that only the entrance up to the flag pole is to be salted if the snow is less than three inches. If the snow is greater than three inches then the neighborhood will be plowed accordingly. To plow the neighborhood, in my opinion, should be decided by a panel of chosen residents who will then determine when it is feasible to remove the snow. For a three inch snow removal the cost could be 3-5 thousand dollars and that is not including salt for the streets. A friend of mine informed me that last years snow removal bill for their neighborhood, which is not much larger than ours, for the entire season exceeded $30,000. This cost exceeded their total budget for snow removal which resulted in higher yearly fees. If LSF decides to remove snow for every three inch or greater accumulation then we will need to adjust our budget accordingly to accommodate the extra costs.
