Glastonbury Road Documents, Mileage and Maps You may download documents or visit other sites by clicking on the below links. - Road Policy 2 Pages - Enacted in October of 2008. This policy separates Landowners into 5 groups based on addresses. The higher the group number the less services they receive. Some landowners see this policy as discriminatory and in violation of the Covenants which state "The Association intends to maintain a private road system within the platted road easements for vehicular access to the various parcels within the community.". The Road policy directly effects landowners and has reduced the value of many properties because access is not guaranteed. The Road Policy was never brought to a community vote and was never filed with the County thus many landowners view it as GLA Board overreach and potentially illegal.

- North Glastonbury Platted Road Mileage - Accurate mileage for every GLA platted road in North Glastonbury.
- Road Maps of South Glastonbury 2 Pages - Original road map with good details that was included with the Master Plan and an even better map created by Park County with excellent detail and more roads.
- South Glastonbury Platted Road Mileage - Accurate mileage for every GLA platted road in South Glastonbury.
- The State of High South Roads in 2015 - takes you to a landowner web site that details the condition of High South Glastonbury roads in the spring of 2015. Detailed photos and descriptive text will help you understand the unsafe condition of the heavily damaged gravel road network, how they got that way and what needs to be done. This article is an excellent starting point for a comprehensive road survey and plan of action for all of the gravel roads in Glastonbury.

Tim, these covenants were written for us, as you know. As later incoming landowners, there was not a vote opportunity. The Board is the entity we have voted for to make decisions for us. The covenants are filed with Park County so, yes, they are a legal document. It seems there are some options for you to get high south roads plowed and maintained: 1. As I believe you have $$ pledges for road maintenance from high south landowners, you could hire your own contractors for maintenance. 2. A new assessment calculation could be created whereby high south landowners would be assessed at a higher rate, based on distance from paved road. Such dollars would need to be line-itemed as a dedicated account for high south. If high south is unique, wants to separate from GLA as it is now, has exceptional road maintenance needs, then perhaps it should pay for its own level of needs and all will be well.

First, I do not agree that we have elected the board to "make decisions for us." The Bylaws enable them to do the BUSINESS of the association under the constraints of the Covenants. The decisions they make for us are very limited by the Covenants. The Board is to serve (similar to an employee) the landowners, not guide or direct us.
I have a question about the following sentence in the last paragraph of the Roads Policy. It reads "The roads that serve fewer parcels require that the fewer
number of assessments collected be stretched over a greater number of miles."
I read this to say the assessments they pay will be applied over more miles, but in the stretching there will be some level of road work done to assist them in accessing their lands. Does that apply only to grading, or shouldn't snow plowing be included?
I'm on Dry Creek, maintained by the County and I support the idea of a new assessment calculation policy that is based on the amount of road use and that all those living above me have higher assessments. Would it be proper for me to pay 1/395th (there are 395 Members/lots in GLA)of the cost of doing normal business and maybe 1/100000th of road costs because I use only 50 feet of GLA maintained roads? I can accept paying to help out my neighbors and paying the same fees/rates as everyone, only if my "DONATIONS" (as I see my assessments) are benefiting all members and not just those at lower elevations or have been longer term residents.
In coming landowners may not have voted on the Covenants, but the Covenants and policies, standards etc. apply to them as well as longer term residents. Opps I'm not sure if any of the policies or standards have been voted on and accepted by all Landowners so I'm not sure if they would be considered a "legal document".
