Village it is located within and using an estimated useful life of 20 years.
Where no information has been provided, the remaining useful life has
been estimated based on the road’s current condition or the age of the
Village it is located within, and assuming it has never been resurfaced.
Information provided by the Association indicates that all roads in
Coldstream, Meadows, and Balmoral were repaved in approximately
2009. Pinehurst roads were repaved upon completion of the CDA work in
approximately 2012 with the exception of the roads that were not part of
the CDA work. Pinehurst Drive, Twin Lake Drive, and portions of
Rimrock Road and Rock Ridge Road were repaved in 2013. In all the
villages, a line item has been provided in the reserve study for concrete
curb and gutter repairs based on length of 10% of the total length of
roadways for partial replacements due to damage by snow plow
equipment and other vehicular damage.
6.3 Trails
Description

Evaluation &
Recommendations

The Association maintains a network of trails which runs throughout the
communities. Based on descriptions of each trail contained in the Trail
Map Pocket Guide there are approximately 13 miles of marked pathways.
A majority of the trails have natural dirt and grass surfaces. A small
portion of the trails are paved with asphalt and some with crushed stone.
Throughout the trail network there are various types of small wood
structures crossing over small streams and marshy areas. There is one
large Bridge structure constructed of steel and referred to as Ben’s Branch
Bridge.
The natural surface trails are generally maintained from the annual
operations and maintenance budget. The asphalt paved and crushed stone
portions of the trails vary in condition. The asphalt pavement of the
Summerfield trail is in fair condition. We have included cost estimates in
the reserve tables for resurfacing the trails in phases to spread out the
costs over the years.
We found most of the small bridges to be in good condition. We have
included a cost for periodic replacement of individual bridges as required
over the course of this evaluation term. For Ben's Branch Bridge we have
included costs for periodic maintenance of the steel structure and
replacement of its wood deck.

6.4 Esplanade

Lake Linganore
New Market, Maryland

The Esplanade is a concrete and steel structure which runs near, and
parallel to, the north shore on the east side of Lake Linganore. It is no
longer used for its original purpose of routing for above ground piping.
However, it is maintained as an elevated pathway for walking and biking.
It is constructed with periodic concrete piers, steel girders and
prefabricated concrete spans which are now used for the pathway. The
Esplanade is accessed from the west end with a pressure-treated wood
bridge/ramp which connects from the Lake Trail to the Esplanade. There
is also a concrete masonry unit retaining wall located at the entrance.
The Esplanade structure is in good to fair condition. A recent engineering
assessment has put forth recommendations for rehabilitation of the
