Subject: Victory Heights County Road Maintenance District Survey Update
The purpose of this memo is to update the
As of today, we have received responses from 50% of the
property owners. Two of the survey
responses indicated that they were included in the proposed Maintenance
District (MD) in error, in that they have access to Highway 260 without using
the
Of the remaining 70 property owners, we have received responses from 35 of them, representing 318 acres of property (there are 550 acres in the proposed MD). Of these 35 responses, 23 indicated an interest in pursuing the formation of the MD. These 23 owners represent 232 acres of property.
These responses provide us with an interesting dilemma. If we consider only those owners who have responded, we have a positive response of 66% of the owners, representing 73% of the property covered by the responses. This is an overwhelmingly positive response, indicating that we should definitely proceed with the MD formation process.
On the other hand, if we take the view that a non-response is a negative response, then we have only 33% of all owners in favor of proceeding with the MD, representing 42% of the property. Under this interpretation, we will obviously proceed no further with the formation of the MD.
For those of you who have responded to the survey, we thank you for your interest and help, and no further action is required from you.
For those of you who have not yet responded to the survey, we would very much appreciate it if you would either call in or send your response no later than January 30. If you would prefer to call in your response, or if you have any questions, please contact Sam xxx or Jim xxx. You can also send email to Jim at xxx. Of course, you can still send in your response on the Owner Survey Form (included with the survey) if that would be more convenient. Please note that we will consider any owner who has not responded by January 30 to be opposed to the formation of the MD.
As an appendix to this memo, we are providing some additional “Frequently Asked Questions” to address some of the questions and concerns noted in the responses we have already received.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

Timberland Acres
has recently experienced a major theft of funds collected by their Special Road
District, which were designated for maintenance of their roads. How can we be sure that a Victory Heights
Maintenance District would not encounter the same problem?
We certainly chose a bad time to use Timberland Acres as an example for

I have a
corner property, which borders two roads.
Does this have any affect on my MD assessment?
No. Based on inputs from
