Amenities

  • Mail Kiosk
    • The mail kiosk site is under construction. Concrete has been poured. Mailboxes are scheduled for delivery next week. Installation has been scheduled by the end of January.
  • Fence
    • High Meadow Development Co. will not be constructing a fence between the Preserve and the neighboring RV park. At the last communication, the RV park indicated they would work with individual homeowners for fencing between those lots and the RV park.
  • Emergency Entrance Gate
    • There will be a free-standing gate installed on the emergency access road. The gate will be welded out of pipe and painted black. It will be locked and 911 will have access to the code for emergency use only. High Meadow is awaiting an ETA as to when this will be installed.

NOTES

  • Temporary culverts – Until asphalt is installed, the developer allows temporary culverts to be installed in the roadside ditches, this will allow the roadside ditches to be cut to the proper elevation once the asphalt is completed on the road. It is always the landowner’s (or their representative) responsibility to install the permanent culverts once the roads are paved.
  • Permanent culverts – permanent culverts are required to be installed on any lot that is under construction, AFTER the asphalt has been installed. If you are building on a lot that already has asphalt, a temporary culvert is not permitted.
  • Please keep in mind, all schedule related items are estimated and are subject to change due to a variety of issues, including but not limited to, weather, supply chain issues, labor shortages, material shortages, etc.
