Minutes of the monthly Board meeting held Sept 16th, 2006

Meeting called to order at 6:10 p.m. with all Board members present.

Minutes from Aug 19th were read and approved.

  1. Snow gate discussion:  We will at some time move the snow gate to the place on Juniper Drive where the Chicken Springs water crosses the road due to the County’s description of all lots below that point as available for full time use.  We currently have a full time resident living above the snow gate.  It was decided to work with the new residents and give them a snow gate key and help them maintain a 4-wheel drive access on one side (north) of the road while still grooming the balance.  Max Henrie of SMR Board suggested that the Resort owns lot M24 near the upper snow gate and we may want to consider a joint project to build a snow park area there since our present snow park will be about ¼ mile below the full time resident line in the future.
  2. We need a joint meeting with Legacy/Willow Glen, the SMR Board and our Board to discuss:
    1. Moving their construction equipment off of our Birch Creek snow park lot.
    2. What to do with the snow gate there?  Unless they are willing to participate in the cost and furnishing of land for another snow park further up we will leave it as it is for now.
  3. Jay/Max will get with CJ Lowe to set up 2006/07 grooming to require the use of his tiller with grooming to make each grooming last longer.  Ideas included perhaps a per grooming event cost or other means of being fair to all sides.  We also need to discuss how to deal with the Legacy roads now used for “looping” the grooming since they will probably tear them up by grading them for construction purposes again this winter.
  4. Financial report.  Most Fire grant funds are submitted and expected soon.  We got about $16,000 extra on the grant.  Roger indicated that right now we don’t have an accurate read out on our budget vs. expenditures for the current year but he will work on it.
  5. Discussion about Colledge/Parsons having an improperly placed gate which gates off the SMR roadway and cul-de-sac.  George was given an inquiry to be discussed with SMR Board to see who should take responsibility to get this resolved.  We need to verify if Resort Manager gave Colledge an OK to put the gate in its present position.

 

  1. Electric:  SMR is going to proceed with electricity installation on Mountain Springs and Deer Valley Drive.  We need to coordinate any road improvements in those sections so we don’t overlap and have to do any over.  Mt Pleasant Power is mapping our system.  Jay will assist Max on some design ideas.
  1. Thad’s:  The pump/tank are finally on “auto-fill” The water has been purified after the installation of the fittings etc.  The most recent water tests were OK.  We need to apply for operation permit.  Roger will meet with Roger Fosey to go over the requirements yet to be done.  One item is a statement from the “designer” of the system drawings of the design vs. as built can be examined.  Jay will take this action item.  Will Sunderlin will write the operations plan.  Roger authorized Ted Haynes to level around the tank, the well and vault and to “rock off” the drain hill to stop the ATV encroachment on private lots below.  The Board voted to authorize Cluff Fencing to use commercial grade fencing and proceed with the isolation fencing of the well and vault.  Vote was 5-0 in favor.

 

  1. Possible use of Thad’s for area 3 in the Master Plan.  We need to test pump to see what the capability is.  There are specific parameters around a two-week draw down test.  Orson Stilson accepted the role as test monitor.  We may need to delay the test until he returns from a trip away.  This would put start at or near Oct 18th, 2006.
  1. Spray report:  Orson said that all of the fire mitigation spraying is complete for the year.  He sprayed for thistle on Main Road and cleaned the culverts.  The spray equipment is winterized.  Some of the road drains were over ½ full and had to have extensive cleaning to keep them open.

 

  1. Fullmer has filled in our drainage at roadside and needs to be asked to put in culverts right away.
  1. Power Boxes:  Require SMR and Mt. Pleasant Power to put them at least 5’ set back to avoid damage.  We should put in the statement/news letter that lot owners are required to mark their own power pedestals.  We recommend a ¾” white PVC pipe at least 6’ long with reflective tape on it.  We can also put this on the web site.

 

  1. Turn around on K16.  It was cut to the stakes as marked.  If it needs to be larger, the SMR Board must approve and Shelley Excavation needs to be contacted to enlarge it at the Lot owner’s expense.
  1. Jay will prepare a “bid sheet” that we can use as a prototype of our own request for bids that will outline the scope of the work etc.

 

  1. The Chipper is being deeded/ titled to us.  Since Fairview Lakes helped pay with part of their grant money, we need to make it available to them as well with them bearing a part of the maintenance and paying for any breaks.  It is being winterized with diesel treatment and extra antifreeze coolant.
  1. Meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
