The sale of Lot # 59,  446 Ludwig Drive, is scheduled to close on January 15, 2013 at which time all liens filed against that property will be paid.

 

Dick Benzi was unable to attend the meeting but did have information for the Board to discuss.  He had talked with Lyle at the Ranch south of the asphalt lane.  Lyle is concerned about people sliding off the icy road into his fence.  Lyle is asking that when that happens, people call him at 759-4868 to report it so he may repair the fence before the cattle escape.  A notice will be posted at the mailboxes to inform the subdivision residents.

 

Dick Benzi also suggested that the Board stockpile sand or pea gravel to be spread on the sharp curves and the uphill part of Ludwig Drive approaching CR 501.  After some discussion the Board agreed that would help, and will ask Mark Webber for his input.

 

OLD BUSINESS:

Bridge Bolts – a written bid and proof of insurance is required if Dick Benzi is going to do the work.

Parking Area – work is on hold until warmer weather.  Several residents are using the area as a pull out while waiting for traffic to clear on the uphill road to CR 501.

Annual Letter to Landowners – the Year End Financial Statement and Proposed Budget for 2013 were reviewed.  The 2013 Roster will be updated with the new residents name and contact numbers.  Pat LeRoy will do a draft of the letter and send to all Board members for approval. This packet of information will either be emailed to Landowners or mailed by February 1, 2013.

 

Lien Letters – a letter was sent to Landowners who have several liens filed against their property giving them the opportunity to meet with the Board to discuss a payment plan that would retire the liens.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

The San Juan Anglers approached Shane French to lease fishing rights on the Los Pinos River for a fee of $3000.00 to $5000.00 per year.  After discussion the Board decided to contact the San Juan Anglers to set a date for a presentation to the Board.  When that date has been set, a letter will be sent to all riverfront landowners to invite them to the meeting and also for their input.

 

Several concerns were voiced to Board members.  None involved violations of the CC&Rs or By-laws, so no action was taken.
