The real problem is how the roads were put down to start with. Poor surface prepartion will leave you with roads allagatoring no matter how many times they are resurfaced. To dig it up and do it right is $$$$$, and even the resurfacing is not cheap. We had about a half mile of roads in our 11 house subdivision in VA and we paid $300 dollars a year to the HOA. That was more than enough to keep our little bit of roads and insurance on the common area. The biggest problem was that we had poor surface prep when the developer originally put down the roads, so allagatoring was a problem every other year or so.
Clearly the WP resisident are not going to want to have their gates taken down. But the dangers of an HOA is that the board will soon want to start enacting other rules that have nothing to do with the roads, and I can tell you from experience that people can be incredibly petty when it comes to their neighbors. I see this as leaving the Willow Point homeowners between a rock and a hard place - if Russell refuses to continue maintaining the roads and the county votes "no", I don't see that they have much choice. RL has a lot of new areas to develop and sell and the other gated communities should be taking note of how this plays out.
