Application forms can be picked up in the box in front of 1556 Stoney Creek Dr. Please submit ARC applications at least 30 days before you plan to do the requested work on your property. Turn in completed applications to Don Berard at 452 Hidden Ridge Rd.

2.Grounds and Maintenance-

• VDOT has repaired a washout problem on Hidden Ridge. VDOT reminds us to maintain our gravel driveways to prevent ruts and to keep gravel from washing out on the road.

• VDOT has investigated and will repair an area along Stoney Creek Drive that has a gravel accumulation. Additionally, an area along Copper Hill will be cleaned up by VDOT.

• Joe will pursue with VDOT the possibility of applying wild flowers (like those found in some highway medians) along areas of MCS common areas.

• The Dogipot installation has been delayed due to communication problems with Miss Utility.

• Colored paint samples for the MCS entry sign were distributed and will be circulated among directors and interested homeowners attending the meeting. It was agreed to repaint the sign with an earth tone that would compliment the stone pillars and would be consistent with the color scheme of our neighborhood.
