Announcements

The SNOA Bylaws have been revised and approved at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the membership on September 14, 2024.  This new revision details means for electronic communications and meetings.  It clarifies language throughout, including what actions that must be taken if the Board membership drops below the minimum number.  It clarifies the language about the Board being responsible for the SNOA-owned entrance road and for the road easements.  It also now permits one-fifth of the membership to propose a Bylaws revision in addition to just the Board.  It provides requirements to conduct remote meetings electronically.  Finally, it adds a new section for Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised to guide business meetings.  Go to the About page to read the new Bylaws.

With the new Bylaws, members should notify the SNOA Secretary for your preferred means to receive legal notices by clicking this link.  Be sure to register to access the link.

Annual Dues are assessed annually.  In 2024 these dues were $500/lot.  2025 dues have not yet been set, and are expected to be due June 30, 2025, or according to the invoice sent at least 30 days in advance.  Advance payments and monthly payment plans are welcome.  If you did not receive your newsletter or invoice, please contact the Secretary.

Sustaining the Association Roadways

SNOA maintains almost 2.5 miles of primary roads and close to 0.4 miles of secondary roads that are less used.  The elevation changes from 425 feet at the entrance to 750 feet at the highest point.

Snow Removal

Most SNOA roads are plowed when snow reaches 6 inches in depth.  Icy conditions may still exist.  Be prepared to use four wheel drive vehicles or use snow chains. 
​Road easement branches that are seldom used in the winter are not plowed.

Maintaining Gravel Roads

Three miles of roadways are kept in good condition to allow owners, guests, and service vehicles ingress and egress rights.  The entrance road is owned by SNOA, and the remaining roads are easements through owner properties.

Maintaining Drainage

Along the roadways, the association maintains ditches and culverts where necessary to maintain customary and natural courses of drainage to protect the environment and protect the roads.

SNOA, the Stilly North Owners Association, was formed to provide maintenance of roads and easements utilized for ingress and egress and to provide for the proper and lawful drainage of surface waters over customary and natural channels along easements of SNOA and membership properties.  The gravel entrance road, starting where the blacktop ends on E. Whitehorse Drive, is owned and maintained by SNOA.  Further to the east, individual property owners own the road and share easements on E. Whitehorse Drive, 314th, 317th, and 318th Streets NE.

Property owners who use E. Whitehorse Drive to access their properties, but are not members,
may join SNOA as Associate Members.
