Richard Diedrich gave an update on an emergency exit. Richard said the two North possible routes were not an option at this time. The most favorable north route is not an option due to lack of consent from Landowner. The second North route option is much less desirable due to steepness and ruggedness of the terrain, although an option, it would have significant costs involved to clear the way. Two South routes available are Rough Rider, which is also not a very viable route due to the steepness and terrain, and the second South route, owned by BP, located just West of the bridge. The second South route is the most conducive route, however, there still remain hurdles to be crossed with BP. At this time they have given permission for emergency vehicle access only. Richard and Rob McLaughlin are working on arranging a face-to-face meeting with BP to see if this can be worked out.
Richard Diedrich read a proposed Motor Vehicle Policy to HOA members. The purpose of this policy is not to forbid operating certain motorized vehicles but to define and clarify responsible behavior ensuring their safe and legal use in Pine River Ranches. The Policy addresses speed, private land, common land, pedestrian safety, road damage and motor vehicle safety.
Richard Young motioned to approve the proposed Motor Vehicle Policy. Jim McCain seconded the motion. Discussion was open. Motioned passed unanimously. This Policy will officially be added to the Association’s Policies & Procedures effective July 16, 2011.
Jim Clay gave an update on Roads. Jim reiterated a recommendation from Neil’s Construction of road grading three times per year. Jim also addressed the use of a mag chloride/tree sap blend for use throughout the subdivision to maintain roads as well as dust control. Approximate cost $ .40 per gallon or $ .40 per lineal ft., which works out to approximately $2,100.00 per mile, materials only. There are approximately two miles of road throughout the subdivision, this would run around $4,045.00, materials only, to complete the job.
Glenn Watson motioned to have the Board proceed investigating and act appropriately based on the information presented. Ted Davis seconded the motion. The motioned passed unanimously.
Jim Clay addressed bridge repair. The entire decking surface, both the upper decking, as well as the cross timbers, need replacing. In 1988 the timbers had a life expectancy of 20 years. The beams are 12’ wide; the I Beams underneath are 6’ apart, which allows for 3’ of cantilevering over each item. Driving should be centered along the treads going across. Jim Clay has talked to Neil’s and several other contractors regarding the Bridge repair. Neil’s Construction was the only company to come out and submit a bid. The estimated bid is $17,000.00 for both material and labor. (Materials $10,000. Labor $7,000.00)
The Board proposed a Special Assessment for Capital Improvements for bridge repairs of $200.00 per lot.
There was discussion and a letter read from John Dustin stating the possible salvage of some of the underlying timbers. Consensus amongst landowners was to replace all underlying timbers alleviating the need to address future repairs.
