Black Rice Road solar security gate dispute

A private road association wants a solar gate at the Black Rice Road cul-de-sac to stop dumping, trespassing, and cut-through traffic. The Nichols family, whose home fronts the cul-de-sac, says the gate and a row of trash cans impose all the downsides on them and want mitigation like screens or relocated receptacles.
