There are a number of pot holes on both sides of the road on Robert Ruark Dr. that are dangerous and need to be addressed.

Blind area to left and right traffic entering hwy 133 from Daws Creek Rd. Let's get a caution light to warn of oncoming traffic, please!

Resident address is 45 Lighthouse Cove Loop. GIS will not reflect correct address in Carolina Shores. We have lived in the Lighthouse Cove community since 2018 and never saw anyone clean out the ditch that runs parallel to our house. It looks to be full of debris (limbs & leaves, etc.) and our concern is with the hurricane season upon us, this may become an issue. Could someone please take a look? When you turn into Lighthouse Cove community, the ditch I am referring to is on the right and not sure what house it starts with but there is definitely alot of debris behind our house at 45 Lighthouse Cove Loop.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If this is not something of your purview, please let me know who to contact.

Subject: Fwd: Proper Water Drainage requested - need POA and Town review ASAP

Dear Town of Carolina Shores,

We have reached out to our POA, requesting guidance for poor drainage in our community, which is effecting a few connected lots. I am providing the details below for your information and review. If there is someone within the Town office our landscaper should speak with, regarding his drainage solution recommendation, please let me know.

Thank you,

Dear Carolina Shores POA,

I'm not sure which committee I should talk to about our Standing Water Problem for our home and surrounding homes. Can you please forward this email to the appropriate person(s)? Advisory Committee? Other?

I purchased our home in October 2019. When I toured the home with our Realtor and began the purchase process, the ground was dry and disclosure mentioned there had never been water inside the home. However, there was no disclosure about the amount of water that surrounds our home after heavy rain(s).

At present, my husband and I are working with a landscaper to try and correct the drainage problem (i.e., lack of proper drainage between our home and neighboring homes). However, to correct the drainage properly is quite expensive.

Wouldn't the POA and Town of Carolina Shores be responsible to ensure home lots have some form of proper drainage? There are 4 home lots that border our home - all with poor drainage (photos attached from February 2021).

Here's a Map that shows our home lot (highlighted Yellow) and where water collects around neighboring lots (highlighted in Blue): Home lots effected: 4 Egret Ct., 2 Egret Ct., 6 Egret Ct., 84 Carolina Shores Dr., 82 Carolina Shores Dr.

We are willing to invest some money in correcting the grading issue with our own property. However, we would like to know if Carolina Shores POA would get involved in this project and request proper drainage out to Beach Rd 179, from the Town of Carolina Shores, our our behalf. Our landscaper is happy to speak with the Town of Carolina Shores with their recommendations.

Please see attached photos. We'd really appreciate someone's help/guidance ASAP.

Thank you,
Julie Turner & David Berger

The curb between 14 and 16 Lighthouse Cove Loop is so low that the water does not drain properly into the sewer. The water almost goes over the curb and onto the lawn.

Resident is asking what is Town property and what is her property from the street. There is a tree on the property and she needs to know if it's hers or the Towns.

Water not draining at road in front of house

Dear Sir,
I have tried to remedy this situation via emails to the town but with no success........
The morning after Hurrican Isaias at approximately 7:15 am, a truck containing 2 town employees was driving through my neighborhood to inspect the area and any damage caused by the storm. There was a large branch in the MIDDLE of the road in front of the mailboxes near the intersection of gates 2 and 3. This limb is approximately 15 feet long. Instead of taking the limb and placing it in either their truck or in their trailer, the limb was tossed onto the berm of the vacant lot at 12 gate 3. It remains there until this day. I understand that carolina shores is not doing debris pick up but this limb was in the middle of the road and it was simply pushed to the side onto the berm of a vacant lot.
This is unacceptable. It should be removed by the town. Please have this debris removed. I have cleaned up small debris on this vacant berm as well as the one at 16 gate 3 in order to keep our neighborhood looking clean and well maintained but i do not feel that i should have to deal with this huge limb that was in fact put there by the town employees.
I hope this can be addressed quickly.
PS-the stop sign at the intersection of gate 2 and gate 3 has been hit by a delivery or work truck at least once. We put a wooden stake in to help keep it vertical but it definitely needs some repair.
Thanking you in advance for your help.

Resident says that they are worried about the drainage in their front ditch, the culvert isn't draining and the area around the ditch is sinking in
