The southern part of the road, from 1650 Santa Margarita Drive to Quail Creek Road, was last paved in 1996; cost was $33,961.69. Assessment allocations were collected based on May 1989 precedent, based on measured distance from the county sign to the center of the driveway or parcel (if no driveway). Owners of improved property (home or grove) paid a full share. Owners of unimproved property (bare land) paid a half share. Residents on Quail Creek, River Oaks, Hilbert/Moon Rock, Edgewater Estates, and west of Edgewater Estates were assessed at the same distance measurement. Owners on Santa Margarita were required to remove dirt or debris on the road surface, and clear plant growth back 2 feet from the road; if the owner did not do so, work was done and charged to the owner. The assessments were upheld in Small Claims court, and then in Superior Court.
The northern part of the road, from Edgewater Estates gate to 1650 Santa Margarita Drive, was last paved in 2005; cost was $49,635.47. The same assessment allocation method was used for owners north of 1650 Santa Margarita Drive.
